Where in LA do you wait out the apocalypse? The cinema and the shopping mall of course!
The Cinema of Tomorrow (F.K.A PEPCOT) presents the final of three screenings on the theme of ‘Movies at the Movies’. Night of the Comet (1984) is a sci-fi zom-com about sisterhood that whirls ecstaticly across a lusciously depicted and (almost) empty Los Angeles. The characters of sisters Regina and Samantha Belmont were frequently cited by the creators of Buffy the Vampire Slayer - they are the quick-quipping, ass-kicking, fashion-forward blueprints. Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel agreed, throwing a big two thumbs up at this grade-A B-movie. 👍👍
This event is part of Programmers of Tomorrow (PoT): A season of workshops and screenings for the future of film exhibition. Consisting of two free workshops, three fundraiser screenings and a film festival all-dayer, PoT is spreading knowledge about film programming, building community around the love of movies, and facilitating first timers to put on their first ever public screening! Read more about it and how to get involved here.
This screening is a fundraiser for both PoT and its venue, the Cinema Museum. The Cinema Museum is currently raising money to buy its amazing building and cement its place as the living archive of London's cinema history.
Doors will open at 6.30pm for drinks and snacks amidst the ephemera of cinemas past, showtime at 7.30pm!
