Film: The Brood (Dir. David Cronenberg) (1979)
15 Jul 2009, 7:30 p.m.
Oliver Reed (!!) stars as an unconventional therapist who encourages Samantha Eggar to undergo “psychoplasmic” therapy – whereby mental and emotional trauma takes physical form – and produces scores of deformed, murderous children who prey upon her young (human) daughter. Made after a difficult custody battle between Cronenberg and his former wife, The Brood is perhaps the director’s most cathartic and autobiographical film.

Featuring the Dulwich Ukulele Club, Molly and Me, Eilidh Macaskill, Cat Green Bike and Staggerin' Jon Lee, UKELEAR MELTDOWN: The Movie looks at the phenomenal success of the second national festival of extreme Ukulele and the big personalities with small instruments. Come and see if you can spot yourself! And due to popular demand (and the permission of director William Preston Robertson) we're showing UM: THE MOVIE as a double bill with ROCK THAT UKE - the film that started it all.

Film: Existenz (1999)
19 Jul 2009, 7:30 p.m.
Cronenberg returns to original-screenplay work with the crafty virtual-reality adventure eXistenZ (1999), which glistened with spinal bioports and sticky-icky “game pods”. Released around the same time as The Matrix, the movie appeared as the smarter, scrappier arthouse cousin to the self-important blockbuster.
