BAR TREASURES: CLASSICS OF SPECULATIVE CINEMA

The better-behaved sibling of BAR TRASH, BAR TREASURES is a cinema social event that projects the classics of speculative cinema, across sci-fi, fantasy and horror (and anything else that slides into my programming). BAR TREASURES pops-up in informal spaces to expand your film history in comfy surroundings with a relaxed vibe.

For adults aged 18+ only.

PREVIOUS PROGRAMMES // VENUES

BAR TREASURES launched with a series of seven ANIME CLASSICS at Rule Zero in Hackney Wick (RIP). These were the films that introduced Japanese animation to the world, including: MEMORIES, GHOST IN THE SHELL, TOKYO GODFATHERS, COWBOY BEBOP: THE MOVIE, METROPOLIS, STEAMBOY, and PAPRIKA. Our closing event was GAMERA, GUARDIAN OF THE UNIVERSE in July 2024.

The programme then continued with ATOMIC ORIGINS, a monthly season of sci-fi screenings in the lovely Members Bar at Finsbury Park Picturehouse. Celebrating 70 years since Godzilla first stomped across our screens, ATOMIC ORIGINS looks at how the monstrous power of the atom bomb unleashed an era of apocalyptic science fiction. Films included: THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, WARNING FROM SPACE, THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN, GAMERA: THE GIANT MONSTER, FRANKENSTEIN VS BARAGON, GAMERA VS GYAOS (August to December 2024).
