SUMMARY:Brighton Astro: Lunar Longings: The Moon in Art\, Science and Culture
DESCRIPTION:Dr Robert Massey (Royal Astronomical Society)\, and Dr Alexandra Loske (Royal Pavilion\, Brighton)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDOORS: 7.00pm\n\n\n\nLECTURE: 7.30pm\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHumans have been fascinated with our nearest heavenly body\, the Earth’s Moon\, since prehistoric times. It has now been more than 50 years since we set foot on the Moon during the Apollo space missions.\n\n\n\nIn this lecture astronomer Dr Robert Massey (Royal Astronomical Society) and art historian and curator Dr Alexandra Loske (Royal Pavilion\, Brighton) and will show how our obsession with the Moon has manifested itself in the visual arts\, from earliest ritualistic drawings to scientific observation\, Romantic symbolism\, silent movies\, and space race propaganda. \n\n\n\nIn 2019 Alexandra and Robert co-authored a book on the subject: Moon – Art\, Science\, Culture\, which has been translated into Spanish and Chinese. In 2019 Alexandra edited an anthology on recent creative writing on the Moon: Pale Fire – New Writing on the Moon. Most recently\, she contributed to chapters to a major new book on the Moon: Lunar: A History of the Moon in Myths\, Maps + Matter (Thames & Hudson and University of Chicago Press). Robert is the deputy director of the Royal Astronomical Society. \n\n\n\nAttendance is free\, but we would be grateful if those of you who are able to could donate a few pounds to help cover the cost of hiring this event space. We will have a card reader and a money box you can drop your donations in on the night. We also have a bank account you can donate to electronically. \n\n\n\nPlease note that the venue has a bar. \n\n\n\nRegister to Attend\n\n\n\nPlease only come along if you’ve signed up\, as we’re limited on space so won’t be able to fit anyone else in. \n\n\n\nIf you can no longer attend\, please update your status to say that you are no longer attending so that someone on the waiting list gets a place

SUMMARY:Café Scientifique: What Your Nose Knows about Stress
DESCRIPTION:With Prof Gillian Forrester\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDOORS 7PM | SPEAKER 7.30PM \n\n\n\nGillian Forrester is a professor of psychology at the University of Sussex. She collaborate with chimpanzees\, gorillas\, and babies to better understand how brains and behaviours evolve and develop over time. By studying both human and non-human primates\, she is on a quest to better understand how we became upright-walking\, talking\, tool-using great apes. Gillian makes regular contributions to television\, radio\, newsprint\, and podcasts. Look out for the new BBC 2 Horizon programme ‘Secrets of the Brain’ – airing 15thand 22nd September 2025. \n\n\n\nPlease note that we are entirely dependent on donations from those who attend our events. You can make a donation as you arrive or leave; we are happy to accept cash or card payments. All donations greatly appreciated! \n\n\n\nRegister to Attend\n\n\n\nPlease ensure you REGISTER prior to attending! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInvestigating how we feel is a tricky topic because our psychological state is a combination of our sensory and subjective experiences. Scientists often use survey and biological measures\, like heart rate\, to understand how we react to stress. But we’re not very good at knowing how we feel – and the act of taking a measurement\, like blood pressure\, can cause its own stress response. Thermal imaging is emerging as a powerful tool to detect our body’s response to stress in real time without contact and in natural settings. This is a scientific game-changer allowing a window into the psychological wellbeing of not only us but also our non-human great ape cousins.

SUMMARY:White Wall Cinema: THE GREAT GATSBY (1974)
DESCRIPTION:100TH ANNIVERSARY OF GATSBY\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n*Please note – doors open at 6.30pm for fizz in the garden. Please try to allow extra time to get seated prior to the performance start time of 7.40pm. There will usually be no admittance from 20 minutes after the films stated start time. No hot food or alcohol from outside the premises is allowed. All alcoholic drinks consumed on the premises must be purchased from the bar as per the conditions of the venue’s licence. \n\n\n\n\n\nWhite Wall Cinema returns for the first event of it’s new season (and our 10th year) with a screening marking 100 years of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s much celebrated iconic novel The Great Gatsby. We will also be throwing a small garden party before with a free glass of fizz (because what would Gatsby’s 100th birthday be without it?)\n\n\n\n\nInfamously tricky to bring to the screen\, the 1974 adaptation is perhaps the most faithful to Fitzgerald’s novel\, while wisely becoming its own distinct cinematic vision. Scripted by Francis Ford Coppola (of The Godfather\, Apocalypse Now\, and more)\, reworking an earlier draft by Truman Capote\, and directed by Jack Clayton (Room at the Top\, The Innocents)\, this version plays Gatsby as a kind of ghost story.  \n\n\n\nA world away from Baz Luhrmann’s brash and violently lurid 2013 take\, this 1974 film is all billowing curtains\, haunted silences\, and humid\, regret-laden tension\, draped in authentically lavish sets\, rich period detail\, and gorgeous opulent  Oscar winning costumes — with a dazzling cast to match.   \n\n\n\nStill a byword for the glittering allure of the Jazz Age\, a century after its publication\, this version of The Great Gatsby properly explores the dark compulsive contradictions of American wealth\, fantasy\, and delusion. So join us — for a glass of fizz and a hauntingly beautiful film — to mark 100 years of Fitzgerald’s enduring masterpiece. After all\, no one throws a party like Gatsby… do they\, old sport? \n\n\n\n\n\nDOORS\, DRINKS FROM: 6.30pm*\n\n\n\nSCREENING START TIME: 7.40pm*\n\n\n\nFILM RUN TIME: 146mins\n\n\n\nCERT: 12A (Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets & More Info

SUMMARY:White Wall Cinema: BEST IN SHOW
DESCRIPTION:25TH ANNIVERSARY\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n*Please note – doors open at 7.40pm\, Please try to allow extra time to get seated prior to the performance start time of 8.00pm. There will usually be no admittance from 20 minutes after the films stated start time. No hot food or alcohol from outside the premises is allowed. All alcoholic drinks consumed on the premises must be purchased from the bar as per the conditions of the venue’s licence. \n\n\n\n\n\nIn the wake of This Is Spinal Tap\, co-writer and Tap lead guitarist Christopher Guest (aka Nigel Tufnel) went on to create a string of similarly brilliant ‘mockumentaries’ over the next four decades. Reuniting a recurring troupe of improvisational comedy legends—virtually a who’s who of the genre—Guest crafted modern classics like Waiting for Guffman\, A Mighty Wind\, For Your Consideration\, and Mascots. Now\, with Guest returning to Spinal Tap for a long-awaited sequel\, we think it’s the perfect time to celebrate what may be the finest of all his works (Tap included!)—with this special 25th anniversary screening of the almighty Best in Show.\n\n\n\n\nRather than chronicling the misadventures of a washed-up rock band\, Best in Show shifts focus to the world of competitive dog lovers as they descend on the prestigious Mayflower Kennel Club Dog Show (a hilariously deadpan spoof of America’s answer to Crufts). An eccentric cast of characters converges on the canine competition\, and what unfolds is a loving\, sharply observed\, and wildly funny portrait of a uniquely obsessive subculture. From neurotic yuppies with a dog in therapy to a folksy Southern man with ventriloquist dreams\, no satirical stone is left unturned in this laugh-a-minute comedy gem. \n\n\n\nThis pitch-perfect parody is driven by a magnificent ensemble cast\, including: Jennifer Coolidge (Legally Blonde\, The White Lotus)\, John Michael Higgins (A Mighty Wind\, For Your Consideration)\, Michael Hitchcock (A Mighty Wind\, Glee) Eugene Levy (American Pie\, Schitt’s Creek)\, Jane Lynch (Glee\, The 40-Year-Old Virgin)\, Michael McKean (Spinal Tap\, Better Call Saul)\, Catherine O’Hara (Beetlejuice\, Schitt’s Creek)\, Parker Posey (Dazed & Confused\, The White Lotus) & Guest himself (Spinal Tap\, The Princess Bride). And of course\, the late\, great Fred Willard\, whose improvisational turn as the dog show’s clueless commentator has since become the stuff of comedy legend. \n\n\n\nArguably the funniest mockumentary ever made\, Best in Show directly influenced an entire generation of TV comedy—from The Office and Parks & Recreation to Modern Family. We’re thrilled to bring it back to the big screen in all its glory for this unmissable 25th anniversary celebration. \n\n\n\n\n\nDOORS: 7.20pm*\n\n\n\nSTART TIME: 8pm*\n\n\n\nRUN TIME: 90 mins\n\n\n\nCERT: 12 (Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets & More Info
