Avanti! (Unhosted)
Sun, Nov 15, 6:00 PM*\*Due to other commitments in November I have limited availability, but I've selected a couple of films (including this one) that may be of interest to members (and if I can attend I'll let attendees know within a day or two of the event). The next hosted event(s) by myself are expected to be in December. Dave* Director Billy Wilder * With Jack Lemmon, Juliet Mills, Clive Revill, Edward Andrews * USA-Italy 1972. 144min * 35mm * Certificate 12A Wendell Armbruster Jr is a put-upon businessman forced to take time out of his busy schedule to collect his father’s corpse. Displaced from the boardroom to the rolling hills of Italy, he is surprised to learn of an also-deceased mistress and her irritatingly friendly daughter. A brilliant fish-out-of-water comedy and a covert attack on America’s profit-driven culture, Avanti! revisits many of Wilder’s recurring themes from a more mature, slightly softer perch. https://whatson.bfi.org.uk/Online/default.asp A drink and/or snack before or after the film is possible at this venue. Cost: £12.70 - £14.50. Dave (07887 683171)

The Alt/Cult Autumn Social
Thu, Nov 19, 7:00 PMIs autumn getting later with each year or is it just the socials? Either way, the leaves are browning and almost ready to fall, Halloween is on the horizon and that first winter chill is approaching. So, why not stave off the SAD blues by coming out for a few drinks with friends old and new to talk about art, culture, socialising and everything else good in life? The venue this time is one of my favourite pubs in London, the Old Dispensary in Camberwell, the prospect of which seemed to appeal to a lot of people at the summer social. There's a good, vaguely affordable drinks selection, a great atmosphere and potentially even some free live music later on!
