Series 2 // The Subversive and Censored Cinema of Eastern Europe

Dear All,

Thank you to everyone who made it to our first series 'Gender and Differentiation.'

Our second themed four weeks is running under the title 'The Subversive and Censored Cinema of Eastern Europe.' Under this theme we hope to explore the very serious issue of how the moving image can be considered such an extreme form of artistic anarchy; and as a result, the films we are showing have been considered either too political to be shown or have created a grave question-mark over the integrity of their films. These issues have often concluding in the film-maker not being able to work in his or her own country. Due to the nature of these films and the fairly-recent lifting of their ban it is with great shame that they still have not been widely distributed. We believe that the quality of these films, due to both the highly political atmosphere in which they were made, combined with being spawned during the experimental 60's - 70's new-wave-film era, have produced some of the most engaging, exciting and captivating works.

This series is truly not one to be missed, and we hope to see you there!

Final Rooftop Screening :: Fritz Lang 'Metropolis'

Dear all,

Thank you to everyone who has made it over the last couple of weeks. Unfortunately, due to a mix-up of dates, next week will be the last screening on the car-park roof due to the fact that Franks Bar will officially be no more after the 27th September.


With this in mind, we have decided to change the schedule and play our original last-in-the-car-park series; Fritz Lang 'Metropolis' (1927). We think that this film is not to be missed given the surroundings in which it will be screened. Of course invite your friends, but make sure you bring plenty of blankets / cushions / hot toddy's etc; anything to keep you warm.

Again, due to the bar being closed, please send us an email to rachelandlydia@gmail.com (if you don't already have our phone numbers) so we know you are coming and can let you in at the gates.

Place :: Franks Campari Bar, Peckham (above Peckham Multi-Plex)
Time :: Monday 21st September, 8.00 pm

Price ::
Free

We will let you know
where we will be moving to; alternatively keep checking our blog for more info: http://www.skawinskiandmarshallfilms.blogspot.com/

See you there,


Lydia a

Roof top screening No.2

Thank you to everyone who came to our first film night, was a great success - we thought it looked great and were more than happy with the way everything panned out. A huge thank you goes to Rupert and Dave who helped set everything up and let us pinch their sound system and projector for the evening....

So with that, we would like to invite you all to the next in our film series; Věra Chytilová 'Daisies' (1966). The screening will be at the same place (Frank's Campari bar), on the 14th September at 8.00 pm. As before, due to the bar being closed, please email us at rachelandlydia@gmail.com (if you don't already have our phone numbers) so we know you are coming and can let you in at the gates. Again, feel free to bring friends, but we are required to keep numbers to a minimum, so perhaps not too many.

Hope to see you there, bring blankets (it may get cold) and a hot flask of whatever you like,

See you there,

Lydia and Rachel
