NEXT SCREENING
THE LUNCHBOX + Letter Writing Workshop
Thursday 12th February / 19:00 – 21:30
Standard Tickets: £5
Meaningful connections in fleeting moments, communication that never reaches face to face contact - is it possible for this to become a significant experience for people? Ila, a neglected housewife, prepares lunch for her husband as usual when India’s reliable tiffin service unexpectedly delivers the lunchbox to Saajan, a dejected widower. Stuck in the throes of their mundane lives, Ila and Saajan strike up an unlikely relationship held together by the simple passing of notes through a lunchbox.
Join us on 12th Feb at Good Shepherd Studios for a screening of The Lunchbox (2013) to share in Ila and Saajan’s carefully preserved world of understanding and tenderness.
Before the screening there will be a letter writing workshop in which attendees are encourage to write a meaningful letter to be passed on anonymously to another screening attendee.
UPCOMING SCREENINGS
ZODIAC KILLER PROJECT + Charlie Shackleton Q&A
Thursday 19th February / 19:30 – 21:30
Standard Tickets: £7 / Concessions: £5 (Low/No Income, Over 60s, Under 18) / Student: £3
Join Waltham Forest Cinema Project for a live Q&A with filmmaker Charlie Shackleton, director of Beyond Clueless, The Afterlight and Paint Drying.
True crime is almost inescapable in modern media, even as real crime rates drop worldwide. There is no act of solved or unsolved villainy that has not been covered by documentaries, fictionalised on screen or dissected by podcasters. Filmmaker Charlie Shackleton set out to make his own contribution to the genre, adapting a memoir that seemed to solve one of the great mysteries: who was the Zodiac serial killer? But on the eve of production, the rights to tell this story were revoked. Shackleton takes this obstruction as a jumping off point to imagine what his film could have been, and along the way takes a sharp look at what true crime has become. Curious, probing and also very funny, Zodiac Killer Project asks what happens when the way we tell our stories can only travel along set paths.
JOHN SMITH – WORLD FAMOUS (FROM WALTHAMSTOW) + John Smith Q&A
Thursday 19th March / 19:30 – 21:30
Standard Tickets: £7 / Concessions: £5 (Low/No Income, Over 60s, Under 18) / Student: £3
Join Waltham Forest Cinema Project for a Q&A with local (and world famous) film artist John Smith, showing the films that reflect the borough, including the Waltham Forest premiere of his latest Being John Smith.
John Smith is widely considered one of the world’s top artist filmmakers. He is also from Walthamstow and lived much of his life in Waltham Forest. This programme presents these two sides of John in parallel. From his seminal The Black Tower – much of which was shot in Leytonstone and thereabouts – to Blight, covering the severing of the borough by the M11 Link Road, John has brought a unique eye to the truly local. His trademark humour and creeping dread are in evidence across this career-spanning programme.
