CRUISING
CRUISING: CULT FILMS & CONVERSATION
I devised CRUISING as a regular Sunday social cinema event to celebrate the launch of Theatreship, a new arts venue moored in the old docks of Canary Wharf. The event paired cult, curious and classic cinema with friendly film chat, hosted by me and some very special guests. After seven brilliant screenings (March to May 2024), CRUISING is currently docked but may well return. My launch programme included:
- THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH with special guest, foley artist Ruth Sullivan (03 Mar 2024)
- Ronald Neame’s THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE (10 Mar 2024)
- Alfred Hitchcock’s LIFEBOAT (17 Mar 2024)
- Derek Jarman’s THE TEMPEST (24 Mar 2024)
- Neasa Hardiman’s SEA FEVER (31 Mar 2024)
- Greydon Clark’s UNINVITED (07 Apr 2024)
- THEATRE OF BLOOD with special guest, drag king Loose Willis (12 May 2024)
Queer-led, CRUISING promoted inclusion through my usual mix of accessible programming, vibrant hosting, radical film histories, and a diverse lineup of guests with their own distinctive voices.
