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

Elio, an underdog with an active imagination, finds himself inadvertently beamed up to the Communiverse, an interplanetary organization with representatives from galaxies far and wide. Mistakenly identified as Earth's ambassador to the rest of the universe, he starts to form new bonds with eccentric aliens while discovering who he's truly meant to be.

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.

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.

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.

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).

MYSTERY FILMS are always hugely popular at BAR TRASH where we only reveal the title when we press play! For this MYSTERY VHS FILM, we’ve asked the incredible tapehead Gemma Gore to handpick something wonderful from her extensive collection of uncensored VHS rarities.

“The VHS gods have summoned me to descend into the dungeon to unearth a mystery movie so wild, so weird, so wonderfully WTF... it had to be rewound twice just to make sure it was real. Past screenings have blessed your eyeballs with: double-denim rockabilly driller-killers (SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE I & II); a triple chainsaw wielding lieutenant confronting a family of cannibals (THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE PART II); and a summer camp caretaker’s bloody revenge (THE BURNING). But what fresh VHS delight have I chosen? I’ve been sworn to absolute secrecy (seriously—there was blood), but trust me…this one’s a certified banger. See you at BAR TRASH!” (Gemma Gore)

Polite notice: Our BAR TRASH VHS presentations do not have subtitles or captions and may encounter technical problems during playback (we have a digital backup if needed!). Please approach the technical quality of the vintage source material with love and empathy!

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

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.

“AN OUTRAGEOUS, WILD AND CRAZY COMEDY BY JOHN WATERS!”

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).

As you might expect, BAR TRASH gets regular requests to screen films from ‘The Pope of Trash’ himself, aka Baltimore legend John Waters. HAIRSPRAY (1988) opened our last season and became our second fastest selling show ever (after ROCKY HORROR!). And so here we go again!

The spectacularly foul-mouthed SERIAL MOM (1994) was an obvious choice to continue our season’s theme of kick-ass women. The indomitable Kathleen Turner stars as a suburban mom on a rampage, murdering anyone who crosses her kids and sparring memorably with Dreamland legend Mink Stole in a series of (shockingly quotable…) prank calls. Much of SERIAL MOM was shot in the suburban communities and downtown Baltimore locations Waters celebrates escaping from, and Turner’s character Beverly Sutphin was modelled on Waters’ very own mom.

“SERIAL MOM is one of Waters’ most personal and autobiographical works. Not only has Waters repeatedly called the film one of his best, it captures better than any of his other movies save maybe FEMALE TROUBLE the central thesis of his work: in America infamy and fame are the same thing.” (Nathanael Hood, mubi)

Polite notice: We are showing SERIAL MOM with subtitles from the best available digital source. The film contains profane language…

The ensuing chaos is a bonfire of the grotesque that provides a biting satire of celebrity and privilege, whilst the languorous narrative style and scintillating sexual undercurrents draw strong influence from 20th century European psychological dramas. A Bigger Splash was released a couple of years before Guadagnino’s mainstream breakthrough with 2017’s Call Me By Your Name, and offers a striking glimpse into the brilliant filmmaking that has come to characterise his later releases; Call Me By Your Name’s dreamy, sun-dappled visuals, the frenetic camera work of Challengers, and the critique of colonialist entitlement that is woven through Queer.

“A NIGHT OF UNRELENTING TERROR!”

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).

Criminally overlooked and critically undervalued, SPOOKIES is the best 1980s rubber-suited creature feature you’ve (probably) never head of! It’s also insanely weird and is as famous for its expertly rendered creature effects as it is for the production’s bizarre backstory.

Produced by Michael Lee – founder of notorious UK home video distributor VIPCO – SPOOKIES faltered when its original creators Brendan Faulkner and Thomas Doran were fired from the production (originally titled ‘Twisted Souls’). They were replaced by editor Eugenie Joseph who only had half a film to work with and so went on to shoot additional footage to fill in the blanks… The new footage used an entirely different cast and storyline.

Some of SPOOKIES is about a carload of idiots who find themselves seeking shelter in a spooky old mansion where they find an ouija board… The rest of SPOOKIES is (possibly…) about a boy who runs away from home and is attacked by a monstrous werecat (with a hook for a hand!). But don’t worry, the whole is far greater than the sum of these disparate body parts: “There aren't a lot of horror films so daring as to cram as many weird rubber-suited monsters into one movie.” (Meagan Navarro, Bloody Disgusting).

Polite notice: We are showing SPOOKIES from a 4K restoration of the long-lost original negative. SPOOKIES will screen with subtitles from the best available digital source and makes very little sense.

“UNASHAMEDLY SILLY!” (Dusted Off)

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).

One of the most common audience requests for future seasons of BAR TRASH was ‘more world cinema’. This gave Token Homo a great excuse to explore screen cultures of other nations with an un-proud history of exploitation cinema. Countries we are visiting this season include: Turkey (THE SWORD AND THE CLAW); Italy (DON’T TORTURE A DUCKLING); Japan (LONE WOLF AND CUB); and now India (we’ve already been to Mexico and hope to visit the Philippines soon!).

Ranjit S. Ruprai is creator of cult film night SUPAKINO and co-owner of new boutique blu-ray distributor, The Cloud Door, specialising in South Asian cinema. Token Homo started screening films with Ranjit back in 2019, so who better to introduce our first ever Bollywood title? BHOOT BUNGLA (1965) is a bit like HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL (1959) with extra songs, dancing, and slapstick. Celebrate its 60th anniversary with 2 intervals, free chai and samosas.

Polite notice: We are showing BHOOT BUNGLA with subtitles from the best available digital source. Our screening will include 2 intervals and an earlier start time than usual.

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.

“THEY WERE ALL DRAWN TO THE KEEP!”

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).

Some films you can’t resist, and Michael Mann’s self-described “Freudian fairytale on the nature of Fascism” has been appearing on our audience suggestion cards since we launched them way back in season 3 (TRASH OR TREASURE?). But don’t let Mann’s reputation as a master make you think we’ve veered to the dark side of ‘quality cinema’. THE KEEP has a production history as troubled as any we’ve ever shown at BAR TRASH!

Set in Romania during World War II, THE KEEP follows a group of Nazi soldiers who unleash a malevolent supernatural force after setting up camp in an ancient stone fortress in the Carpathian Mountains. Adapted from a novel by F. Paul Wilson, THE KEEP features a stunning score by Tangerine Dream, jaw-dropping special effects (completed after the death of supervisor Wally Veevers), and a dreamlike narrative caused, in part, by directorial indecision, extensive re-shoots, and radical re-editing by the studio to reduce the run time… Strap in for a wild ride to the dark side.

Polite notice: We are showing THE KEEP with subtitles from the best available digital source.

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.

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.

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.

Denham captures the monster to be displayed on Broadway as King Kong, the eighth wonder of the world.

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.
