Sidney & Eden

Free entry! Lynch’s finest! Surreal melodrama and neo-noir fairytale unite in a disorienting sensory overload of severed ears, mechanical robins, and (of course) blood-red curtains - as baby-faced amateur sleuth Kyle McLachlan tumbles down the rabbit hole into the underbelly of American suburbia. Gindhouse Cinema Club Presents David Lynch Month: Blue Velvet FREE ENTRY!

Free entry! Disillusioned housewife abandons anaesthetizing family existence for a life of petty crime in this gritty, bleak and beautiful low-budget flick from actor/director Barbara Loden. Sadly her only feature film, Wanda is a low-key masterpiece delving into existential restlessness and the American nightmare. For our next event at the Indie Classics Film Club on Tuesday January 28th, we’ll be screening WANDA (1970), 7pm at the Sidney and Eden.

Free entry! An early offering from queer cinema trailblazer Todd Haynes at Sidney & Eden: part psychodrama, part social satire, Safe stars Julianne Moore as an 80s housewife trapped in a slow nightmare of insidious illness and suburban isolation. Provocative, uncanny and endlessly relevant. For our first event of 2025, we’ll be screening Todd Haynes’ SAFE (1995), 7pm at the Sidney and Eden pub on Tuesday January 7th.

Free entry! Grindhouse gifts us some wickedly entertaining anti-Christmas cult cinema in the shape of darkly comic Finnish action-horror Rare Exports: a smart and subversive twist on Nordic lore and Yuletide tradition gruesome enough to send Krampus scurrying behind the sofa. Grindhouse Cinema Club Presents: Rare Exports A Christmas Tale FREE ENTRY!

‘Marijuana: the burning weed with its roots….in hell!’. Insanely OTT church-sponsored 30s anti-drug propaganda flick, preserved by the ‘cult classic’ powers-that-be for your utter hilarity. Another quality free entry obscurity from the excellent Grindhouse Cinema Club. Grindhouse Cinema Club Presents: Reefer Madness FREE ENTRY!
