The Cinema Museum, London

The Misty Moon Film Society in Association with The Cinema Museum presents An Audience with Robin Askwith

Sat 31 Jan 2015 @ 20:00 · Events

Confessions of a driving instructorWhat was it like to simulate sex 400 times in a few weeks in the middle of winter?  What was it like to urinate over 200 film extras?  What was it like to spend 4 weeks in an insane asylum with Leonard Rossiter?  What was it like to get stoned with Jimi Hendrix?  The list goes on and gets more outrageous…

Robin Askwith entered the film industry in 1968 making his debut in Lindsay Anderson’s If…. He then went onto work with the likes of Pier Paulo Pasolini, Franco Zeffirelli, Pete Walker, Franklin Schaffer, Clive Donner, Dick Clement and Antony Balch, before he made the controversially successful Confessions of… series of films. To this day no one can decide whether they should be celebrated or forgotten completely!

Come and listen to this rare chance to listen to his take on an extraordinary adventure through some 35 films. “I wanted to make films and I wanted to meet girls…so it was nice to combine the two for some time!”

Robin Askwith is a natural raconteur and is a master of what he calls “sit down” comedy. This show has been described as “dangerously funny” and “complete twaddle”! Come and find out for yourself….

Robin will be signing autographs during the evening – £15.

Doors open at 19.00, for a 20.00 start.

Refreshments will be available in our licenced cafe/bar.
