Our second screening of Italian cinema is on Thursday 30th August (9pm) and will introduce the female director Liliana Cavani and her 1974 film 'The Night Porter'. 

The film is about a concentration camp survivor (Charlotte Rampling) and her ex concentration camp ward (Dirk Bogarde) who meet again thirteen years after the war and experience a revival of their sadomasochistic relationship. 

Free admission and popcorn. Encounters With The Obscure cannot wait until Thursdays screening.

This week Encounters With The Obscure is returning to its regular Thursday night screening, that is the 23rd August at 9pm.

For the next two weeks we will take you to Italy, starting off with a very controversial screening of 
Pier Paolo Pasolini's "Salo, Or The 120 Days Of Sodom" (1975). 
This brilliant film was and is banned in several countries, hence why we are showing it in the equally controversial Lumiere. 

We look forward to having you there this Thursday. Free admission for all cinephiles.

This week's screening will be on Sunday 19th August starting at 9pm at the lovely Lumiere. 

The male dominated French Cinema (and cinema generally) often fails to acknowledge the beautiful and intuitive works of female directors. Such as the films by Marguerite Duras, one of which will be screened this Sunday. 

Encounters With The Obscure will introduce the 1972 film 'Nathalie Granger', with a very young Gerard Depardieu and two female protagonists who give an inside into their uneventful and simple world. Radically poetic.

We look forward to having you there. Free admission and popcorn because cinema is love!

Encounters With The Obscure's next screening will be on the 9th August commencing at 9pm 

in the enchanting lairs of the Lumiere. 

Proceeding with our tour through Europe we have now arrived in France and want to introduce two films by 

Jean Vigo.

Joining in with the olympic spirit the first film will be Taris (1931), a short 10 minute documentary about the French swimmer Jean Taris. 

Secondly we will be showing one of his feature lengths L'Atalante (1934) a love story and considered by critics to be one of cinema's greatest works. 

Encounters With The Obscure hopes to see you all there for the special treat.

As always no admission fee and free popcorn.
