Do I Want To Start a Film Club?

This weekend at the Roxy Bar and Screen, Scala Forever presented a panel of film club curators to provide a discussion point for those inspired to start a film club, under the revealing title 'I Want To Start a Film Club!'

By implication, those in attendance were interested in starting a club, and while I do fall into that category, I had a second agenda, stemming from a general interest in mapping the current 'club' scene in London and hearing more from the people that make it tick.

Whatever happened to Fay Wray?

minigraph: State of the art 1933 epic. Soulful animation & classic adventure. Will charm even those reticent to suspend their disbelief.

Scala Forever is a film festival taking place across London from the 13th August to the 2nd October, a festival completely dedicated to celebrating the Scala cinema, Kings Cross, which dished up art house, cult, exploitation, B movies and international fare from 1981 to 1993.

The festival has films, panels, double bills and all nighters inspired by Scala and, as per its mission statement 'celebrating the current repertory film scene in London.' It is masterminded from the Roxy Bar and Screen on Borough high street, which, as one of 27 venues involved is the stage for the opening night.
