Sticky Fingers Publishing presents a new monthly feminist queer cinema night at the Ivy House, in Nunhead. Each evening will begin with two short films followed by a headline feature, with drinks, pizza and more available. Expect camp classics, cult favourites, feminist DIY fantasies, and much more. Our first screening on the 7th February will be headlined by the 1999 queer comedy But I’m A Cheerleader, featuring a young Natasha Lyonne:
“But I'm a Cheerleader is a 1999 American dark comedy romantic teen film directed by Jamie Babbit from a screenplay by Brian Wayne Peterson. Natasha Lyonne stars as Megan Bloomfield, a high school cheerleader whose parents send her to a residential in-patient conversion therapy camp to "cure" her lesbianism. The supporting cast includes Clea DuVall, Cathy Moriarty, RuPaul, and Melanie Lynskey. The film, which has developed a cult following, is noted for its satirical style and is generally considered to be one of the best LGBT films ever made.” – Wikipedia

Tickets also available on the door.

About the Ivy House
The Ivy House is London's first community-owned pub, after being saved by the community from property developers in 2013. Featuring a rich musical history, we were a stalwart pub rock spot in the 70's with artists such as Dr. Feelgood, Joe Strummer, and Jeff Beck treading our boards. Fast forward to today and we continue to host an incredible array of musical talent in our hallowed halls, such as Goat Girl, caroline, and Blood Wizard to name but a few. Beyond our musical guise The Ivy House is a bonafide hangout spot, where you can quench your thirst with our eclectic drinks selection, and nourish your tummy with our excellent pizza menu.
Accessibility
Venue: there is one step up to access the pub, however, there is a ramp available which staff can assist in putting in place when required.
Toilet: due to the listed nature of the building, we do not currently have a wheelchair accessible toilet in our venue. However, we do have a single cubicle fitted with a rail in the ballroom.
