This month we stopped pretending we're a cinema and started pretending we're a television channel. Not streaming. Not on-demand. The kind of television where you had to be there at the right time or you missed it. Nine channels, one month, no remote control.

Risky Business + Top Gun
Double bill 1983 / 1986
99 + 110 min · Café opens 15.30
Two films, one actor, several bad decisions, and a lot of sunglasses. Risky Business is a sharp, slightly dark comedy about a teenager who turns his parents' house into a brothel while they're away. Top Gun is Top Gun. Both hold up better than they probably should.

We Need to Talk About Kevin
2011 Lynne Ramsay Disturbing
112 min · Café opens 18.30
Tilda Swinton plays a mother trying to make sense of her son. Ramsay makes a film that gets under your skin and stays there. One of the best British films of the last twenty years, and one of the least comfortable. Come prepared.

Mike Diana in Person: Blood Brothers + Baked Baby Jesus
Adult content Director present
1989 / 1990 · Café opens 18.00
Mike Diana was arrested, tried, and convicted in the 1990s for his self-published comics. He also made films. Shot on video with his family and neighbourhood kids, they are chaotic, gross, and oddly loveable. He'll be here in person. Leave your expectations at the door.

Pigs and Battleships
1961 Sôhei Imamura Japanese Cinema
108 min · Café opens 18.30
Imamura drops us into postwar Yokosuka — bars, brothels, and a US naval base that has effectively become the city's economy. Angry, funny, and completely alive.

The Tunnel
2024 Icelandic Director present
75 min · English subtitles · Café opens 18.30
In Reykjavík, a man called Jói spent years covering an underpass in graffiti. The city called it vandalism. This film asks who gets to decide. One of the two directors will be here after the screening.

Yossi & Jagger
2002 Eytan Fox Based on true events
65 min · Café opens 18.30
Two Israeli army officers, secretly in love, at a remote base on the Lebanese border. A small film about people trying to find space for themselves inside a system that doesn't want to give it. Quietly devastating.
|
| CH 5 |
Family & General Viewing |
|
Bring the kids. Or don't. Either works. |

22 May |
Shrek + Shrek 2
2001 / 2004 Double bill
90 + 93 min · Café opens 18.30
Shrek holds up. Shrek 2 is arguably better. Together they make a long but very good evening. The second one has a Fairy Godmother villain and Antonio Banderas as a cat, which is more than most films can offer.
|
| CH 6 |
Comedy & Classic Cinema |
|
No agenda. Just good films. |

The Party
1968 Blake Edwards
99 min · Café opens 19.30
Peter Sellers plays an actor who accidentally gets invited to a Hollywood party and slowly destroys it. Largely improvised, endlessly funny, and a reminder that Blake Edwards was very good at this sort of thing.
|
18.30
24 May |
American Beauty
1999 Sam Mendes
122 min · Café opens 17.30 · Venue in use until 17.00
A middle-aged man has a crisis. His family is not doing much better. Sam Mendes and cinematographer Conrad Hall make suburban misery look extraordinary. Still works.
|
| CH 7 |

30 May |
The Blues Brothers + Music Bingo
1980 John Landis
133 min · Music Bingo 18.30 · Film 20.00
Music Bingo kicks off with soul, R&B, and singalong classics — no music knowledge needed, just ears. Then the film: Jake and Elwood on a mission from God, with Aretha Franklin, James Brown, and Ray Charles along for the ride. One of the great American comedies.

Bad Movie Club: Killer Robots Edition
1987 R.O.T.O.R + Mutant Hunt
Double bill · Café opens 18.30
Two 1987 films about robots that go rogue. Both made on almost no money and completely committed to the premise. Bad Movie Club at its best.

About our coverage
Robots are becoming part of everyday life. Most of them are fine. R.O.T.O.R. Mutual exists for the ones that aren't.
What we cover
| ✓ Malfunction during routine operations |
| ✓ Rogue behaviour within city limits |
| ✓ Unsanctioned target acquisition |
| ✓ Property damage caused by pursuit sequences |
| ✓ Emotional distress following android eye contact |
|
What we do not cover
| ✗ Acts of God |
| ✗ Acts of Skynet |
| ✗ Anything described as "it just started doing that" |
| ✗ Incidents where unit was told to stop and did not |
| ✗ Cyborgs chemically modified to enjoy it |
| ✗ New York City (please call separately) |
R.O.T.O.R. Mutual accepts no liability for outcomes described as "completely inevitable in hindsight." Coverage void if robot was clearly going to do this anyway.
