In 1985, Godard signed a $1 million deal to adapt King Lear – on a napkin at Cannes. What followed was one of cinema's most chaotic productions: Orson Welles and Ingmar Bergman were approached, Norman Mailer walked off set after one day, and Godard was reportedly awake for 62 hours before the Cannes premiere.

The result? A playful, digressive, formally stunning film that left Cannon Films furious – and that cinema has been reassessing ever since.

🎥 Screening alongside Welles's Filming Othello (1978), with an introduction by Michael Witt.

On 17 June, three influential London collectives come together to explore how collective ways of working emerge in response to the politics of a city.

Joining the panel: Toby Mott, co-founder of the Grey Organisation – the early 1980s East London collective that used provocation and direct action to confront the art world establishment. Their interventions, including the Cork Street action, challenged accepted ideas of authorship, value, and control.

Since then, Mott has continued to work across publishing and archiving. He founded Cultural Traffic and stewards The Mott Collection, a major archive of British subculture spanning punk to rave. The Grey Organisation Archive is held within the collection.

Get ready for an in-the-round double header with two of the most singular voices in experimental music: Colleen and Kate NV 🎶

Colleen (Cécile Schott) builds entire worlds within self-imposed constraints – music boxes, pocket synths, baroque strings, each album a distinct universe. Her latest, Libres antes del final, is a meditation on freedom from suffering before life's end. Precise and transcendent in equal measure.

Kate NV (Kate Shilonosova) is a changeling: architecture student, illustrator, and live improviser who conjures sound from bells, water glasses, and a tangle of synthesizers and cables.

In 'Eurodollars' by Jenna Bliss, streams of text are overlaid on Super 8 footage of New York – public art in the Financial District, views from the 'Freedom Tower', and Zuccotti Park, site of the 2011 Occupy Wall Street movement.

Styled like a chat conversation, the exchange has an unnerving robotic quality and leans heavily on stock phrases. Written by Bliss and James Duesterberg, the text draws upon fragments of speeches by Obama, quotes from the film 'Wall Street', and reports of Gisele Bündchen's request to be paid in euros as the dollar weakened.

📍 Genuine Fake Premium Economy
🗓 Until 5 July

A response to a world that feels evermore surreal, disastrous, and doomed – Ben Rivers' latest film Mare's Nest immerses us in an unsettling natural terrain, equal parts bucolic and wasteland, entirely devoid of adults.

We follow Moon adventuring alone through uncanny landscapes, encountering a turtle, other children, and the echoes of a DeLillo one-act along the way. Shot in tactile colour and black and white Super 16mm, the images are supernal – full of wonderment, mystery, and quiet urgency.

🎞️ Screening followed by a Q&A with Ben Rivers
📅 Sat 5 Jun, 6pm

🎞️ Our Long Takes on Rita Azevedo Gomes concludes next Thursday, 4 June, with the UK premiere of F**k the Polis (2025) + Q&A with Azevedo Gomes.

Retracing a journey through the Greek islands fifteen years on, Azevedo Gomes travels with a younger group of friends through ferries, roadsides and ruins – filming, reading and singing along the way. A luminous film about endurance, friendship and holding onto beauty in the face of despair.
