On 11th October we start a season of underground themed films in honour of our venue’s location with a screening of Carol Reed’s The Third Man (1949) – watch Orson Welles’s Harry Lime skulk around post-war Vienna’s sewers in the ultimate British film noir!

This will be preceded by the first episode from the sci-fi Western musical The Phantom Empire (1935), in which a cowboy, who is also a radio show host, stumbles upon an ancient but highly advanced civilisation living under his ranch…
