Now showing at the Sky Room Cinema, Jim Henson’s incredible cult classic returns to the big screen for its 40th anniversary. Relive Sarah’s (Jennifer Connelly) incredible journey through the Labyrinth of The Goblin King Jareth (David Bowie) as she meets the many strange and fantastical creatures that inhabit it in order to rescue her baby brother. Showcasing Henson’s puppet mastery and featuring original music by Bowie, this classic is well-worth returning to on the big screen.

Now showing at The Sky Room Cinema, a return to the 1986 cult classic on the big screen. They are an immortal race of warriors. A unique breed of men who can die only by being decapitated with a sword. Fated to duel down the ages to a distant time called the Gathering, where the last few will battle for the Prize – power beyond imagination. From the Scottish Highlands of the sixteenth century to present-day New York, Connor MacLeod, who wants no part of this, but who cannot escape his destiny, does battle against his fellow warriors while the fate of mortal man hangs in the balance.

“You always read pictures from the left, but the point about The Diagonal is that you’re forced to read it from the right.” Euan Uglow

Paintings like The Diagonal exemplify Uglow’s meticulous attention to precise measurements in his work. Behind the model, Uglow drew fine lines running parallel to the model’s outstretched body – lines which also appear in the painting.

The angle of the model’s position required similar precision from the sitter. When Suzy King, the first model, dropped out after six weeks, she was replaced by Jacque Rochester, an American student at the Slade. In total, the painting took six years to complete, with Rochester sitting for regular sessions during term time in London.

Opening soon: Jaques Henri Lartigue: Life in Colour 📸

Jacques Henri Lartigue (1894–1986) was a photographer celebrated for his black-and-white photographs of Belle Époque Paris, capturing elegance, speed and modern life; from car racing and aviation to the French Riviera and travels to the United States. Though long overlooked, his work gained international recognition with a landmark MoMA exhibition in 1963, establishing him as a pioneer of instantaneous photography.

This exhibition, the first UK public presentation of Lartigue’s work in over a decade, focuses on his little-known colour photography. Featuring over 150 works, the exhibition traces his career from childhood drawings to fashion photography and late abstractions.

Exhibition organised in collaboration with the Association des Amis de Jacques Henri Lartigue, Ministère de la Culture, France and diChroma photography.
