Welcome to Stroud Film SocietyWe are delighted to announce our contribution to:
STROUD FILM FESTIVAL 2024 SCALA!!! or The Incredibly Strange Rise and Fall of the World's Wildest Cinema and how it influenced a mixed-up generation of weirdos and misfits (With an introduction from the Directors) TUESDAY 19TH MARCH (Apologies the paper programme states 5th March) UK 2023 - 96 minutes - Certificate 18. In Britain’s post-punk, Thatcher years, the infamous and legendary Scala cinema showed a diverse range of films, from high art to cult classics, sexploitation, horror, Kung-Fu and LGBTQIA+. Nudging boundaries of convention, it became an inspiration for future famous creatives. With interviews from nearly 50 contributors, previously unseen archive footage and film clips, Scala!!! is an anarchic, uproarious documentary telling the riotous inside story, with an original soundtrack by celebrated musician Barry Adamson. Transcending nostalgia, Scala!!! is a universal testament to the power of cinemas, providing refuge and community for outsiders. A place where everyone is welcome. SCALA!!! WILL BE INTRODUCED BY THE JOINT DIRECTORS JANE GILES AND ALI CATTERALL. Doors open 7:30. Film starts 8pm. Tickets from the Subs below. THIS FILM IS NOT INCLUDED IN YOUR FILM SOCIETY MEMBERSHIP. |
