Our six upcoming monthly editions of Canal Film Club offer a dive into cinemas ugly younger siblings from April - September. Beaming towards you with Alien Vampires, The Freshest of Femme Fatales, Lesbian Nuns, sleazy dancing snakes and all fine things.

Edition 2: A Night of Blasphemy!

Forgive me father, for I have stunned! We invite you (and all your catholic guilt) to Bruno Mattei and Claudio Fragassos 1981 nunsploitation classic The Other Hell. Don your habit, drape around your rosaries and whisper your silliest secrets into our confessional tree.

When father Valerio is sent to investigate a monastery after the disappearance of several nuns, he soon realises that things are far more complicated than they appear to be.

Accessibility

The Canal has ramp/elevator access via bridges from local stations & bus routes, however the pathways within the woods are uneven and can be muddy. Be prepared to walk 15 mins along the canal and woods to get to the location.

There will be a canopy to provide shelter from rain if required and there is a compost loo available near to the site. Please contact us if you have any further questions or concerns about access, we can provide more detailed information closer to the event!

If we have to cancel the event due to weather / unforeseen circumstances, donations are non-returnable and we will endeavour to reschedule the event.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
