When a twenty-something retail clerk encounters a rising pop star, he takes the opportunity to edge his way into the in-crowd. But as the line between friend and fan blurs beyond recognition, access and proximity become a matter of life and death.

A timid man is swept off his feet when an enigmatic, impossibly handsome biker takes him on as his submissive.

A Uyghur woman moves to New York City where she finds herself laboring in Chinatown's underground kitchens. She fatefully encounters Skinner, a young American soldier who's just returned from three tours in the Middle East.

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" -- or, rather, a homicidal boy in Stanley Kubrick's eerie 1980 adaptation of Stephen King's horror novel. With wife Wendy (Shelley Duvall) and psychic son Danny (Danny Lloyd) in tow, frustrated writer Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) takes a job as the winter caretaker at the opulently ominous, mountain-locked Overlook Hotel so that he can write in peace. Before the Overlook is vacated for the Torrances, the manager (Barry Nelson) informs Jack that a previous caretaker went crazy and slaughtered his family; Jack thinks it's no problem, but Danny's "shining" hints otherwise. Settling into their routine, Danny cruises through the empty corridors on his Big Wheel and plays in the topiary maze with Wendy, while Jack sets up shop in a cavernous lounge with strict orders not to be disturbed. Frightened by her husband's behavior and Danny's visit to the forbidding Room 237, Wendy soon discovers what Jack has really been doing in his study all day, and what the hotel has done to Jack.

With its operatic scope, relentless action, and iconic style, The Whole Bloody Affair stands as one of cinema’s definitive revenge sagas—rarely shown in its complete form and now presented with a classic intermission.

Tower Hamlets Trades Council, with the Genesis Cinema, presents:

Resisting the Far Right: a season of films about the dangers of right-wing extremism.
Far-right and nationalist politics are on the rise. Immigrants and minorities are being scapegoated like they were in the 1930s.
Tower Hamlets has a rich tradition of opposing racism and intolerance, from the Battle of Cable Street in 1936, to more recent community opposition to far-right extremism.
This season presents different cinematic representations of how bigotry can play out in society.

Each film will be accompanied by speakers, Q & A and discussion.

A special screening of MOTHERBOARD in partnership with the charity BREAST CANCER NOW. Followed by a Q&A with director, Victoria Mapplebeck, Sally Kum (Associate Director, Nursing and Health Information, Breast Cancer Now) and Caroline Leek (Director, Fruit Fly Collective) hosted by Saskia Baron (documentary filmmaker and journalist). At the age of 38, Victoria Mapplebeck found herself single, pregnant and broke. Unable to combine motherhood with freelance directing, she was forced to abandon her career in TV, instead turning the camera on herself and her son, Jim. Filmed over 20 years, Victoria has recorded hundreds of hours of footage, capturing each twist and turn in Jim’s life, from the thumbs-up he gave her during her first pregnancy scan to his first day at college. MOTHERBOARD is a unique self-portrait charting the real-life comedy and roller coaster of solo parenting. Victoria captures a life where both she and Jim survive her breast cancer diagnosis, two generations of absent fathers and Jim’s rollercoaster teen years with a gallows sense of humour and an irrepressible ability to turn lemons into lemonade. The film navigates the trials and traumas of unromanticized parenting, where chaos rules. We’re privy to the monumental bust ups when tempers fray and doors slam, as well as the pair’s closeness and camaraderie as Jim turns into a fiercely opinionated and funny young adult who suddenly towers over his mum. Honest, funny and infinitely relatable, MOTHERBOARD is the antidote to the unrealistic expectations we have about motherhood, and a film for anyone who wants to see family life in all its unfiltered glory.

A sarcastic humanoid duck is catapulted from his homeworld to Earth where he must stop an alien invasion with the help of a nerdy scientist and a struggling rock singer.

“TRAPPED IN A WORLD HE NEVER MADE.”

Cult film night BAR TRASH concludes its 11th sensational season — SYNTHETIC FLESH — a tribute to more than 100 years of monster makeup FX. We’ll also be announcing what happens next!

Our ‘end-of-season’ films are always meant to be a lot of stupid fun, and no film nails that brief more than the awkward cross-species coupling of HOWARD THE DUCK (1986). From executive producer George Lucas (STAR WARS), and the pages of Marvel comics, HOWARD THE DUCK (released somewhat bashfully in the UK as ‘Howard… A New Breed Of Hero’) is a comedy adventure spectacular about a fast-talking, cigar-chomping, beer-loving duck from a parallel universe who crashes to Earth and somehow winds up in Cleveland.

”There’s a chance that American audiences simply don’t want to see a duck starring in anything besides a plate of orange sauce.” (William Rabkin)

It’s hard to imagine it now, but HOWARD THE DUCK was the first official big-screen adaptation of a Marvel comic book since the CAPTAIN AMERICA film serials of the 1940s. A major critical and commercial failure (losing more than half of its production budget), the film is often cited as one of the worst films ever made and was nominated for seven Razzie Awards at the Golden Raspberry Awards (winning four!). Needless to say, HOWARD THE DUCK is a stupid amount of fun.

Polite notice: We are projecting HOWARD THE DUCK with subtitles from the best available digital source.

/// BAR TRASH is a celebration of cult and curious cinema, hosted by queer film fanatic Token Homo and friends. Films are served with themed drinks, introductions, intermissions, prize giveaways, and subtitles / captions where possible. Tickets from £3.50. Adults 18+ only.

Presented by Cult Classic Collective the screening is followed by a panel discussion with Nick Walker. The directorial debut of Richard Kelly is a comic mixture of 80s sci-fi, horror and teen movie genres. October 1988 and small-town USA is about to witness the end of the world. Well, that's according to Frank, a giant, talking rabbit that only Donnie Darko (Jake Gyllenhaal), a brilliant but troubled teenager, can see. Frank has been urging Donnie to play dangerous pranks on his friends and dysfunctional family, but when he gets Donnie to leave his bedroom one night and tells him the world will end soon, strange things begin to happen - starting with the engine of an aeroplane plunging to ground and hitting Donnie's, now empty, bedroom.

LONDON’S WILDEST NIGHT OUT IS BACK AND BRINGING THEIR REGULAR SCHEDULE OF MADNESS, CHAOS AND DEBAUCHERY DURING THE FESTIVE PERIOD.

After body-slamming the East End into festive submission twice over, Emporium returns to Genesis Cinema for another night of cinematic carnage, over-the-top drama, and monsters in the ring ready to unwrap some serious punishment.

Expect snowstorms of suplexes, grudges colder than December air, and title fights so intense they’ll roast your chestnuts. Featuring some of the UK’s wildest wrestling stars, shocking twists, and enough holiday chaos to make Santa tap out.

This isn’t your nan’s Christmas panto….this is wrestling with bells on.

When the final bell rings, the night is far from over.
Emporium: The Afters takes over Genesis Cinema’s private bar once again, transforming it into a club night of pure carnage. Wrestlers swap the ring for the dancefloor, spinning late-night anthems and tearing it up 'til 2AM.

Costumes. Characters. Kayfabe. It’s still very real to us, and it doesn’t stop ‘til the lights come on.

Live show. Full rave. Total mayhem, and it’s all FREE with your ticket.

Tickets are flying faster than an elf on an energy drink so get yours now before someone pile-drives Christmas cheer right out of you.

The Plan is a high-stakes comedy-heist that keeps you guessing. It’s not just a film - it’s an interactive experience where the audience gets pulled into the mystery. Every clue, every teaser, and every piece of content will leave people asking… “What’s The Plan?”

Silents Synced pairs classic silent movies with epic rock music to bring audiences a unique big screen experience. Buster Keaton’s 1924 comedy classic is reimagined with R.E.M. 's alt-rock masterpieces Monster (1994) and New Adventures in Hi-Fi (1996). In this sublime comedy teetering between reality and illusion, Buster Keaton stars as a film projectionist who dreams of becoming a detective. He uses his limited skills when he is framed by a rival for stealing his girlfriend’s father’s pocket watch. Keaton reportedly broke his neck performing one of the many dangerous practical stunts in the film. Whether you’re a movie lover or a rock music fan this is an experience you won’t want to miss!!
