When her boyfriend is murdered by mobsters, Sugar Hill decides not to get mad, but BAD, selling her soul to raise an army of the dead!

“MEET SUGAR HILL AND HER ZOMBIE HITMEN… THE MAFIA HAS NEVER MET ANYTHING LIKE THEM!”

BAR TRASH celebrates our 3rd year and 10th sensational season with WE ARE TRASH!, a fan-made mixtape of cult and chaotic cinema (May to Aug 2025).

Hot on the success of THE THING WITH TWO HEADS (1972) and FOXY BROWN (1974), BAR TRASH returns to the dazzling world of Blaxploitation with one of its most sensationally strange titles: SUGAR HILL (1974).

SUGAR HILL is a moody Blaxploitation horror thriller featuring Marki Bey as pant-suited avenger Diana aka Sugar Hill. With the help of Voodoo queen Mama Maitresse (the brilliantly charismatic Zara Cully), Sugar conjures Lord of the Dead, Baron Samedi (Don Pedro Colley), and his horde of silvery-eyed zombie hitmen to execute some racist thugs responsible for murdering her lover.

The only film directed by producer Paul Maslansky (creator of the POLICE ACADEMY series), SUGAR HILL offers a "unique blend of exploitation film and Southern gothic horror" (Bloody Disgusting) and is an outlier from the post-Romero characterisation of the living dead. Here, the zombies are reanimated corpses of plantation slaves, echoing the monsters’ original screen depiction in classic horror films like I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE (1943).

“SUGAR HILL has a bit of an edge… by virtue of the fact that its vengeance is given a certain historical-political dimension. Morgan’s gang, represented throughout as the arm of white exploitation and racism, is obliterated by the corpses of Black slaves in a dream of apocalypse.” (Monthly Film Bulletin)

Polite notice: We are showing SUGAR HILL without subtitles from the best available digital source. The film contains scenes of racist violence, discriminatory language, and stereotypical representations of Black African culture (the magical dancing chicken’s foot has to be seen to be disbelieved!).

In a picturesque coastal Somali village, named Paradise, a family is forced to reckon with the divergent paths taken to build a stable life in a world of drone strikes, and the extraordinary pressures of a society where you cannot always make your own choices.

Mamargade, a devoted father, is willing to do what many will not to support his family, including acting as repair-man, driver, and a grave-digger of illicit graves for anyone who pays. In the humble home he shares with his sister Araweelo and his gifted son Cigaal, Araweelo dreams of an independent life which she seems increasingly closer to achieving. Meanwhile, Cigaal’s future is arranged by his father, who is determined he will not have to make similar choices.

Mo Harawe's beautifully rendered feature debut - the first Somali film to be presented at the Cannes Film Festival - skilfully captures the life, longing, and resilience of this family and the consequences of Mamargade’s increasingly desperate decisions.

Content notices: Explores themes of death and violence, including the presence of drone strikes and distressing scenes including scenes of burial.

Presented by Cult Classic Collective the screening is followed by a panel discussion with Nick Walker. A pair of astronauts heads to Jupiter to investigate a radio signal sent from a mysterious monolith on the moon, but their tranquil trip is endangered when their on-board computer begins acting oddly. The simple plot of director Stanley Kubrick's inspired space adventure (co-scripted with noted science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke) belies the profound philosophical implications of this classic film, which inspires viewers to ask questions about the nature of advanced civilizations . . . and of human consciousness. Nearly half a century after its release, the film's groundbreaking special effects are still breathtaking, and its ending still mind-bending.

After 43 horrific days working round the clock under constant bombardment in the emergency rooms of Gaza’s Al Shifa and Al Ahli hospitals, British-Palestinian reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Ghassan Abu Sittah, emerged to find himself as a face of Palestinian resistance.

With news footage of him pale and shell-shocked reverberating around the world, he spoke of a catalogue of horrors from lacerated bodies, to amputations without anesthetics, orphaned children with no surviving family, and the deliberate targeting of medics and hospital facilities.

This was Ghassan’s sixth and most horrific Gaza “war”. Why does he do it? Where does he find the strength to face it again and again? How does it impact his family? How do they process the risks he takes? The answer lies simply in their shared passion: Palestine, a passion they articulate through their support of his perilous humanitarian work.

Filmmakers Carol Mansour and Muna Khalidi, close friends of the Abu Sittahs, share that same passion. They were waiting anxiously for Ghassan to emerge from Gaza, following a long and terrifying journey through the night, to meet him in Amman. Determined to capture his raw emotions they began filming him the moment he arrived through the door. Following him to Beirut, Amman, London, Kuwait, and Dubai, they and he explore their common State of Passion.

Premiering at the 2024 Cairo International Film Festival and awarded the Saad Eldin Wahba Award for Best Arabic Film, A State of Passion offers a deeply human perspective on the cost of survival and the ongoing fight for dignity.

Academy Award®-winning director Danny Boyle and Academy Award®-nominated writer Alex Garland reunite for 28 Years Later, a terrifying new "auteur horror" story set in the world created by 28 Days Later. It's been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected. One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily-defended causeway. When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders, and horrors that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors as well. Contains a sequence of flashing lights which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy

Directed by Joseph Kosinski ( Top Gun: Maverick), featuring Brad Pitt as Sonny Hayes, a former Formula 1 prodigy from the 1990s. After a career-ending crash, Hayes becomes a journeyman racer. Three decades later, he's approached by his old teammate, Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), now the owner of the struggling APXGP team. Ruben convinces Sonny to return to Formula 1 to mentor the team's ambitious rookie, Joshua "Noah" Pearce (Damson Idris), and help elevate the team from the bottom of the standings. As Sonny confronts his past and the intense competition of the sport, he discovers that redemption and success require more than just speed on the track.

Celebrate the release of 28 YEARS LATER with this spectacular shot-on-video double-bill of zombie outbreak movies made by teenagers: Emily Hagins’ PATHOGEN (2006) and Pablo Parés & Hernán Sáez’s PLAGA ZOMBIE aka Zombie Plague (1997)!

“THE HEIGHT OF OUTSIDER MOVIEMAKING”

BAR TRASH host Token Homo is a lifelong zombie movie fan (he even lives where they shot 28 WEEKS LATER!), so how better to celebrate the return of the 28 DAYS LATER franchise to our screens than a slew of zombie movies? After last week’s Blaxploitation take on the sub-genre — SUGAR HILL (1974) — we now get served two epic zombie outbreak movies made by teenagers!

PATHOGEN dir Emily Hagins (2006/USA/66mins)
Conceived when filmmaker Emily Hagins was 12 and released when she was 15, PATHOGEN is one of the most accomplished horror movies ever made by a person before they could legally drive a car. With an impressive devotion to editing and storytelling, PATHOGEN delivers eyeball gouging, decapitations, and knife fights, along with an endearing perspective that could only originate from an Austin teenager. “PATHOGEN is as awkward and unsure as junior high itself, but it’s driven by wonder, sincerity, and a surprisingly cohesive style” (Bleeding Skull).

PLAGA ZOMBIE aka Zombie Plague dir Pablo Parés & Hernán Sáez (1997/Argentina/69mins)
17-year-old suburban Buenos Aires filmmakers Pablo Parés and Hernán Sáez pooled $450 to co-write, produce, direct and star in a shot-on-VHS zombie epic of such flesh-ripping, gore-spewing greatness that it instantly drew global cult acclaim. Over the next 20 years, Parés, Sáez and their friends would create two increasingly ambitious, and equally brilliant, viscera-soaked sequels, and several short films. But this is where it all started. “A DIY VHS movie miracle… the look and feel of early Raimi and Jackson, only cheaper, faster, and slimier” (Rue Morgue).

Polite notice: We are showing PATHOGEN and PLAGA ZOMBIE with subtitles from the best available digital sources. PATHOGEN was shot on digital video and PLAGA ZOMBIE was shot on VHS — please approach the technical quality of the original source material with love and empathy! Please also note the earlier than usual start time for our teen zombie double feature (8:30pm).

Celebrating Pride and Stonewall at Genesis - Part of our Drag at Genesis Bar Events!

A gym-obsessed serial killer murders and eats a local drug dealer for their protein, inadvertently sparking a brutal and bloodthirsty tit-for-tat turf war between rival drug gangs. Based on his 2014 short film of the same name, PROTEIN is the feature film debut of award-winning commercials/music video director Tony Burke and offers a compelling blend of blackly-comic small-town crime thriller, nuanced character drama and grisly cannibal horror. The film premiered to rave reviews and an incredibly enthusiastic audience reaction at London’s FrightFest 2024.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with director/co-writer Tony Burke and actor/producer Craig Russell. 

PROTEIN contains a sequence of flashing lights which might affect customers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.

Fearless is a heartwarming documentary that features six women aged between 78 and 90. As young women they left their homes in the Caribbean, Ireland and South Asia to answer post WWII Britain’s call for workers.

The film uses archive film and photography to interweave pivotal moments in women’s social history with the interviewees’ memories of life in Britain. These are the moments and movements that impacted women then and now. They include the Notting Hill uprising and the fight for racial equality in housing and jobs. The immigrant workers’ rights fought for by the Grunwick factory strikers and the lengths mothers went to in order to ensure their children received a proper education.

Today, these fearless women are almost invisible to modern society, but as the film shows, they are still vibrant, engaging and full of mischievous fun.

A new era is born. Next summer, three years after the Jurassic World trilogy concluded with each film surpassing $1 billion at the global box office, the enduring Jurassic series evolves in an ingenious new direction with Jurassic World Rebirth. Anchored by iconic action superstar Scarlett Johansson, breakthrough talent Jonathan Bailey and two-time Oscar® winner Mahershala Ali, this action-packed new chapter sees an intrepid team racing to secure DNA samples from the three most colossal creatures across land, sea and air. Also starring acclaimed international stars Rupert Friend and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, the film is directed by dynamic visualist Gareth Edwards (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) from a script by original Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp. Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, the planet’s ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived. The three most colossal creatures within that tropical biosphere hold the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind. Academy Award® nominee Johansson plays skilled covert operations expert Zora Bennett, contracted to lead a skilled team on a top-secret mission to secure genetic material from the world’s three most massive dinosaurs. When Zora’s operation intersects with a civilian family whose boating expedition was capsized by marauding aquatic dinos, they all find themselves stranded on an island where they come face-to-face with a sinister, shocking discovery that’s been hidden from the world for decades. Ali is Duncan Kincaid, Zora’s most trusted team leader; Emmy nominee and Olivier Award winner Jonathan Bailey (Wicked, Bridgerton) plays paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis; Emmy nominee Rupert Friend (Homeland, Obi-Wan Kenobi) appears as Big Pharma representative Martin Krebs and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo (The Lincoln Lawyer, Murder on the Orient Express) plays Reuben Delgado, the father of the shipwrecked civilian family. The cast includes Luna Blaise (Manifest), David Iacono (The Summer I Turned Pretty) and Audrina Miranda (Lopez vs. Lopez) as Reuben’s family. The film also features, as members of Zora and Krebs’ crews, Philippine Velge (Station Eleven), Bechir Sylvain (BMF) and Ed Skrein (Deadpool). Jurassic World Rebirth is directed by BAFTA winner Edwards from a script by Koepp (War of the Worlds), based on characters created by Michael Crichton. The film is produced by Oscar® nominee Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley, both longtime Jurassic franchise producers and of this summer’s blockbuster, Twisters. The film is executive produced by Steven Spielberg, Denis L. Stewart and Jim Spencer.

Independent Candidate is an observational documentary following Fiona Lali’s and her Revolutionary Communist Party’s (RCP) 2024 parliamentary campaign in Stratford & Bow, East London.

They are running to win, but the film’s focus is the campaign more than the result, as Fiona and her comrades organise to bring their vision of radical change directly to the people.

This FIDSA Newsreel Nr. 2 (19/03/2025) documents a discussion on the state of documentary film production and distribution, held during the 2025 edition of the FIDSA Film Festival in Santiago, Cuba.
Prominent internationalist filmmakers including Gordon Main, Lázara Herrera, Alejandra Guzzo, and others, share insights into the challenges of sustaining independent documentary cinema amid global market pressures and digital platform monopolies.
Directed and edited by Rodrigo Vázquez Salessi, with executive production by Osaín Álvarez, the newsreel continues the legacy of politically engaged filmmaking once embodied by the ICAIC Latin American Newsreel.
By highlighting these discussions, the FIDSA News Bulletin acts not only as a cultural homage to its predecessor but as a political intervention, updating the mission of revolutionary cinema to meet the realities of the 21st century.

Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, Marvel Studios’ THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS introduces Marvel’s First Family—Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm/Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), Johnny Storm/Human Torch (Joseph Quinn) and Ben Grimm/The Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) as they face their most daunting challenge yet. Forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, they must defend Earth from ravenous space god Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner). And if Galactus’ plan to devour the entire planet and everyone on it weren’t bad enough, it suddenly gets very personal. The action adventure also stars Paul Walter Hauser, John Malkovich, Natasha Lyonne and Sarah Niles. Directed by Matt Shakman, produced by Kevin Feige and executive produced by Louis D’Esposito, Grant Curtis and Tim Lewis.

In 17th-century West Africa, a young prince named Atanda is betrayed by his uncle (Kolawole Ajeyemi), who murders the king - Atanda’s father (Antar Laniyan) - with the aid of British soldiers and sells the boy into slavery to claim the throne of Ile Wura.

Torn from his homeland and thrust into the brutal labour of a Jamaican sugarcane plantation, Atanda (Tobi Bakre) is forced to endure unimaginable hardship under the rule of the ruthless Master Gerard (Demetri Turin). Amid the violence, he finds forbidden love with Adunni (Atlanta Bridget Johnson), a mixed-heritage house slave whose strength and defiance make her a constant target of Lady Catherine (Alex Franklyn), the plantation owner’s bitter and jealous wife.

When Adunni is accused of witchcraft in a scheme fueled by Catherine and her cunning maidservant Toro (Genevieve Edwin), the fragile order of the plantation shatters. As unrest turns to open rebellion, Atanda is drawn into the world of the Maroons, a rebel society of escaped slaves led by a mysterious and powerful priestess (Faithia Williams Balogun), whose vision of liberation forces him to confront his past - and his destiny.

Classic films back on the big screen in 35mm. Akira Kurosawa's final masterpiece, Ran is a reworking of Shakespeare's King Lear, set in feudal Japan.

Ran tells the story of Hidetora Ichimonji (Tatsya Nakadai – Yojimbo, Kagemusha) an aging warlord who, after spending his life consolidating his empire, decides to abdicate and divide his Kingdom amoungst his three sons Taro (Akira Terao - Letter from the Mountain, Dreams), Jiro (Jinpachi Nezu – The Man in White, Red Shadow: Akakage) and Saburo (Daisuke Ryu - Tono monogatari, Gojo reisenki: Gojoe).

When Saburo voices concerns about the wisdom of his father's plan, claiming that treachery within the family will be inevitable, Hidetora mistakes these comments for a threat and when his servant Tango comes to Saburo's defense, he banishes both of them. This allows Taro and Jiro to take the reigns of power unopposed, leading to a brutal and bloody struggle for the absolute power of the warlord.

Majestic in scope, Ran is a profound examination of the folly of war and the crumbling of one family under the weight of betrayal, greed, and the insatiable thirst for power.

This is a special centenary edition of Sergei Eisenstein’s legendary Battleship Potemkin featuring the celebrated score by Pet Shop Boys. A fixture in the critical canon almost since its premiere, Eisenstein’s film about a 1905 naval mutiny was revolutionary in both form and content. Battleship Potemkin is renowned for its dynamic compositional strength and editing of such frame-perfect precision that it’s hard not to be swept along. First revealed at a special outdoor screening in front of an estimated 25,000 in Trafalgar Square in 2004, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe’s score, performed with the Dresdner Sinfoniker and orchestrated by Torsten Rasch, blends electronic beats with orchestral grandeur to create a contemporary cinematic experience.

Silents Synced pairs classic silent movies with epic rock music to bring audiences a unique big screen experience. This reimagining of the iconic Nosferatu (1922) features Radiohead’s Kid A (2000) and Amnesiac (2001) albums. An unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Nosferatu (1922) is the quintessential silent vampire film, crafted by legendary German director F. W. Murnau. Rather than depicting Dracula as a shape-shifting monster or debonair gentleman, Murnau’s Graf Orlok (as portrayed by Max Schreck) is a nightmarish, spidery creature of bulbous head and taloned claws — perhaps the most genuinely disturbing incarnation of vampirism yet envisioned. Don’t miss out on the chance to experience this imaginative new take on an iconic horror classic!

Classic films back on the big screen in 35mm. Truffaut's superb feature debut remains an influential landmark in the history of the cinema. Antoine Doinel (Jean-Pierre Laud), a 13-year-old is constantly in trouble - justifiably or otherwise - with his parents and teachers. Drifting into truancy and petty theft, he soon finds himself at odds with still less sympathetic figures of adult authority. Shot on the streets of Paris, the film exudes an emotional authenticity born of the semi-autobiographical story, and displays real compassion as it charts a seemingly unstoppable progress towards delinquency. Great credit goes to Léaud, whose engaging but entirely uningratiating performance is a miracle of naturalism. Truffaut managed to gather many talents, on both sides of the camera, who would prove crucial to the development of the nouvelle vague. Marvellous stuff.
