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).

For the final MYSTERY FILM in our WE ARE TRASH! audience mixtape, Token Homo has chosen an exploitation film directed by a woman to illustrate themes we’ve been talking about all season long: the gatekeeping of senior roles in film production by men since the end of the silent era.

Some of our MYSTERY FILMS have been pulled from deep in the archives — or almost lost forever — but this more recent, mainstream release (relatively speaking…) helps us tell a different story… What will it be? As always, you’ll just have to join us to find out.

Polite notice: We are projecting our MYSTERY FILM with subtitles from the best available digital source.

Programme supported by Film Hub London, managed by Film London. Proud to be a partner of the BFI Film Audience Network, funded by the National Lottery. www.filmlondon.org.uk/film-hub-london

Join us out in The Yard from 2-6pm on Saturday 9th August for sunny delights and a double-header to get your groove on.

Following our last rip-roaring City Pop Summer, it’s once again time to chuck on your summer gear - Hawaiian prints and all - and dig out your daytime dance moves.

DJ Natsu returns to Genesis to serve up a starter of City Pop and other Japanese gems, followed by a main course of vintage Western funk, soul, rare groove and even a dash of Northern Soul for seasoning.

Wash that all down with a HAPPY HOUR 2 FOR 1 drink offer and get set to get down!

London-based DJ Natsu fell in love with City Pop after his first trip around Japan in 2014 and has been digging for treasure since. With hordes of incredible musicians and pioneering production that still sounds fresh today, City Pop holds a mirror to 70s and 80s Japan and reflects post-war optimism, the final years of Showa and the progression, glamour and opulence of the soon-to-burst bubble era. City Pop makes us yearn to return somewhere we've never even known. In a 21st century determined to lob us endless challenges, it lets us cocoon ourselves in the comfort of nostalgia and escape to a safer, simpler and more sincere place. The only essentials to pack? Your dancing shoes, of course

“MEET THE GREATEST TEAM IN THE HISTORY OF MASS SLAUGHTER.”*

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).

What started with SHOGUN ASSASSIN (1980), must end with LONE WOLF AND CUB: WHITE HEAVEN IN HELL (1974).
Back in BAR TRASH Season 8 (BANNED!) Token Homo screened a number of the so-called ‘Video Nasties’ including grindhouse oddity SHOGUN ASSASSIN, queer filmmaker Robert Houston’s re-edited/dubbed compilation of the first two films in the LONE WOLF AND CUB franchise (SWORD OF VENGEANCE and BABY CART AT THE RIVER STYX, both directed by Kenji Misumi, 1972). Demand was so high, we simply had to bring the series back, and this time in its original Japanese…

LONE WOLF AND CUB: WHITE HEAVEN IN HELL is the sixth and final film in the franchise that sees former executioner Itto Ogami (Tomisaburo Wakayama) still wandering the countryside with his infant son, Daigoro (Akihiro Tomikawa), but this time their long-running feud with the Yagyu clan must come to a chilling climax. Taking a bold swerve into new territory, you don’t need to have seen the previous titles to love this one.

Series director Kenji Misumi (1—5) declined to come back for the final entry, and they had run out of stories from the original manga written by Kazuo Koike and illustrated by Goseki Kojima to adapt… “and so star Tomisaburo Wakayama decided to make the sort of wild movie he’d always wanted to: one in which Lone Wolf battles zombies and Daigoro’s baby cart zips improbably across an icy landscape on skis” (Patrick Macias). The final snowy battle scene took a month and a half to film, closing the LONE WOLF AND CUB series with a suitably jaw-dropping sense of deranged spectacle.

Polite notice: We are showing LONE WOLF AND CUB: WHITE HEAVEN IN HELL in Japanese with English subtitles from the best available digital source. *Poster tagline from the release of SHOGUN ASSASSIN (1980).

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.

“MAD MAX ON A BMX”

There’s an ignoble BAR TRASH tradition of closing our seasons with something big, loud, and well, just a bit dumb (think MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE, GODZILLA ’98, and ANACONDA) but with TURBO KID (2015) we’ll swap that ‘d’ for ‘delightful’! Written and directed by regular collaborators François Simard, Anouk Whissell, and Yoann-Karl Whissell, TURBO KID is a micro-budget post-apocalyptic superhero origin story that features enough cartoon gore to pay homage to titles like TOKYO GORE POLICE (2008) whilst also packing a huge mount of retro heart.

The Kid (Munro Chambers) makes friends in the toxic wastelands with an unlikely companion, Apple (Laurence Leboeuf), to face down a tyrannical warlord (Michael Ironside) and avenge the death of his parents. It’s rare that any film lives up to its hype, but Wired’s review of TURBO KID as “MAD MAX on a BMX” is satisfyingly accurate. Packed with action, adventure, a fabulous synth soundtrack, and gallons of very wet gore, TURBO KID is guaranteed to leave a big (stupid) grin on your face as Token Homo reveals what BAR TRASH Season 11 is all about…

“TURBO KID captures the wildly discordant dreams of any budding movie lover when they were 10, creating one of the funniest works of sandbox cinema made to date. TURBO KID is here to play, and he's loads of fun." (Consequence Of Sound)

Polite notice: We are showing the blu-ray release of TURBO KID which contains extra gore. TURBO KID will play with subtitles from the best available digital source.

Complicit: A Michael Haneke Retrospective at Genesis Cinema. Georges and Anne are in their eighties. They are cultivated, retired music teachers. Their daughter, who is also a musician, lives abroad with her family. One day, Anne has a stroke, and the couple's bond of love is severely tested.

Presented by Cult Classic Collective the screening is followed by a panel discussion with Nick Walker. South Korean filmmaker Park Chan-wook directed this violent and offbeat story of punishment and vengeance. Oh Dae-su (Choi Min-sik) is a husband and father whose reputation for womanizing is well known. One day, for reasons he doesn't understand, Oh Dae-su finds himself locked up in a prison cell, with no idea of what his crime was or whom his jailers may be. With a small television as his only link to the outside world and a daily ration of fried dumplings as his only sustenance, Oh Dae-su struggles to keep his mind and body intact, but when he learns through a news report that his wife has been killed, he begins a long and difficult project of digging an escape tunnel with a pair of chopsticks. Before he can finish -- and after 15 years behind bars -- Oh Dae-su is released, with as little explanation as when he was locked up, and he's soon given a wad of money and a cellular phone by a bum on the street. Emotionally stunted but physically strong after 15 years in jail, Oh Dae-su struggles to unravel the secret of who is responsible for locking him up, what happened to his wife and daughter, and how to best get revenge against his captors.

Three former classmates reunite in Hong Kong, but a buried secret resurfaces forcing them to confront the past, each other, and the limits of truth. Followed by an in-person Q&A with the director, Bizhan M. Tong.

Part campy musical, part horror film, The Rocky Horror Picture Show details the travails of a squeaky clean couple stranded at a creepy castle where the inhabitants sing and dance through a bacchanalian romp of murder, bisexuality and cannibalism. The madcap, musical mayhem begins when rain-soaked Brad and Janet take refuge in the castle of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, a transvestite mad scientist from outer space who is about to unveil his greatest creation! Join Tim Curry, Barry Bostwick, Susan Sarandon and rock star Meat Loaf in the most popular cult classic of all time.

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.

Classic films back on the big screen in 35mm. Adventurous filmmaker Carl Denham sets out to produce a motion picture unlike anything the world has seen before.

The Sound Of What’s Left is a documentary celebrating London’s precious and few remaining grassroots small-gig venues. Filmed over a five month period at two legendary, beloved venues - The Windmill Brixton and The George Tavern - the documentary was made in the DIY spirit of its subject.

Whilst the camera is in the thick of a gig, voices from the venues’ communities share what the space means to them. Alongside insights from the Music Venue Trust and cultural commentators, the film highlights why grassroots venues are more important than ever – and yet they are under threat.

The story was inspired by experiences and conversations had at gigs and the news that 2023 was the worst year on record for the UK’s grassroots music venue sector, with over a tenth of venues closing. With the backdrop of ongoing campaigns to save grassroots music venues, The Sound Of What’s Left serves as both a moving tribute and a call to action to protect vital hubs of culture and community.

DIRTY BOY is a dark, atmospheric, and critically acclaimed folk horror that has been gaining serious momentum on the festival circuit. It has nominated for multiple awards at this year’s Raindance Film Festival (including Best UK Feature, Best Director and Best Actor for Graham McTavish) and was also named Best Feature at the 2025 Maverick Movie Awards.

The film stars Graham McTavish (The Hobbit, The Witcher, Outlander, House of the Dragon), Susie Porter (Wentworth, Gold), and rising newcomer Stan Steinbichler. It was shot in Styria, Austria, the iconic landscape of The Sound of Music, reimagined here as the chilling backdrop for something far more disturbing.

Tonally, DIRTY BOY blends the rural horror of Midsommar with the conspiratorial dread of Rosemary’s Baby, the twisted brutality of Kill List and the bleak, satirical edge of Joker. It’s an elevated genre piece with strong audience appeal, particularly among fans of intelligent horror, arthouse thrillers, and Graham’s substantial fanbase across genre TV and film.

Charming, wistful, heartbreaking, hopeful and urgent. Palestine’s official entry to the 2025 Academy Awards, “From Ground Zero”, brings dozens of emerging Palestinian artists to the fore in an urgent cry for humanity from a people under siege.

Each film, ranging in length from 3 to 6 minutes, presents a unique perspective on the current reality in Gaza. The project, masterminded by legendary Palestinian filmmaker Rashid Masharawi and Exec Produced by Michael Moore, captures the diverse experiences of life in the Palestinian enclave, including the challenges, tragedies and moments of resilience faced by its people. Using a mix of genres including fiction, documentary, docu-fiction, animation and experimental cinema, From Ground Zero presents a rich diversity of stories that reflect the sorrow, joy and hope inherent in Gazan life.

These are only a snapshot of the stories shared. Chronicling the lives of people too often discussed in reference to numbers and refugee camps, From Ground Zero is an extraordinary time capsule, an urgent response to an ongoing catastrophe, and an artist’s call to bear witness to a crime scene. It is a reminder that despite sustained efforts to silence them - the film stricken from the 2024 Cannes lineup on political grounds after initially being accepted - the voice of the Palestinian people is louder than ever through art and film.

Classic films back on the big screen in 35mm. Newspaper magnate Charles Foster Kane is taken from his mother as a boy and made the ward of a rich industrialist. As a result, every well-meaning, tyrannical or self-destructive move he makes for the rest of his life appears in some way to be a reaction to that deeply wounding event.

Classic films back on the big screen in 35mm. Returning to their lord's castle, samurai warriors Washizu and Miki are waylaid by a spirit who predicts their futures. When the first part of the spirit's prophecy comes true, Washizu's scheming wife, Asaji, presses him to speed up the rest of the spirit's prophecy by murdering his lord and usurping his place. Director Akira Kurosawa's resetting of William Shakespeare's "Macbeth" in feudal Japan is one of his most acclaimed films.

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.

Presented by Cult Classic Collective the screening is followed by a panel discussion with Nick Walker. An unfaithful wife encounters the zombie of her dead lover; demons are pursuing him after he escaped their sadomasochistic underworld.

Drawing on 20 years of home videos, this blend of fact and fiction follows three horror-obsessed friends on an ecstatic journey into their personal and supernatural fears when they find themselves embroiled in a real-life scary movie.
