The Cinema Museum, London

Some new kind of kick presents Scorpio Rising (1964) and Psychomania (1973)

Fri 25 Oct 2024 @ 19:30 · Events

Scorpio RisingSome new kind of kick – celluloid rock n roll trash on a Friday night.

We’re excited to be able to show Kenneth Anger’s controversial short in 35mm. The film they tried to ban for showing a penis and both the American Nazi party and the church sued. Ken was inspired by bikers and homosexuality in London at the same time as The Leather Boys but goes somewhere very different with that inspiration. Fantastic doo woo soundtrack.

Psychomania is a perfectly normal Rocker biker gang movie except for the whole suicide to return from the dead motif. Beryl Reid as a Satanist clairvoyant, George Sanders in his last role supercilious till the end.

Doors open at 18.30, for a 19.30 start.

Refreshments will be available in our licensed cafe/bar.
