PUBLIC PROGRAMMING MEETING 2PM PUBLIC MEETING 4PM
The London Borough of Lewisham was one of only two London boroughs with no dedicated cinema. Deptford Cinema is a not for profit, community led project that was designed to rectify this with the building of a new, affordable and accessible venue for film and arts on Deptford Broadway. Deptford Cinema is the oldest operating cinema in Lewisham. The cost of a cinema ticket today can be upwards of £12 and even more when you factor in the travel for Lewisham residents to nearby Greenwich or Southwark, or central London. It is increasingly no longer a viable night out. Cinema should be for everybody and that’s the ethos of Deptford Cinema, providing accesible and interesting cinema, that’s also affordable. Deptford Cinema is being built by the community, for the community. Although our 40 seat cinema is open for business and fully functional, we are all in the process of completing our darkroom, gallery space and a fully licensed cafe/bar. The programming of events and films is open to anybody to show the films they want, and the cinema will be a hub for all things film in Lewisham. With our regular programming gaining momentum, there is still a lot of work to do, especially with finishing the internal fit out of the space. If you think you can help out and would like to get involved and become a part of the cinema, it’s easy: come along to one of our Sunday meetings, held each week within the cinema at 4PM or one of our programming meetings (Sundays fortnightly at 2PM). The organisation has no hierarchy, each volunteer is on equal footing and all decisions are made as a group at these regular meetings.

Séverine, a young and beautiful housewife, is unable to share physical intimacy with her husband despite their love for each other. Her sexual life is restricted to elaborate fantasies involving domination, sadomasochism, and bondage. Séverine (now Belle de Jour) begins working in a brothel from two to five o’clock each day, returning to her unsuspecting husband in the evenings. Deptford Cinema and the ICA proudly present a retrospective of the films of Luis Buñuel (1900–1983), celebrating his genius, irreverence and unique poetic style.

Pablo Larraín / 2012 / Chile / 118 min
In 1988, Chilean military dictator Augusto Pinochet, due to international pressure, is forced to call a plebiscite on his presidency. The country will vote YES or NO to Pinochet extending his rule for another eight years. Opposition leaders for the NO persuade a brash young advertising executive, Rene Saavedra (Gael Garcia Bernal), to spearhead their campaign. Against all odds, with scant resources and under scrutiny by the despot’s minions, Saavedra and his team devise an audacious plan to win the election and set Chile free. Continuing our season of award winning films from Latin America, No, directed by Pablo Larrain won the Art Cinema Award at Directors’ Fortnight in Cannes and the Golden Coral for Best Film at the Havana Film Festival .

Traveling to accept an honorary degree, Professor Isak Borg—masterfully played by veteran director Victor Sjöström—is forced to face his past, come to terms with his faults, and make peace with the inevitability of his approaching death. Through flashbacks and fantasies, dreams and nightmares, Wild Strawberries dramatizes one man’s remarkable voyage of selfdiscovery. This richly humane masterpiece, full of iconic imagery, is a treasure from the golden age of art-house cinema and one of the films that catapulted Ingmar Bergman to international acclaim

This film within a film is centred on the figure of Italy’s prime minister and media tycoon Silvio Berlusconi, a subject so controversial that even the public television refuse to produce it.

Gomorrah intertwines five separate stories of people whose lives are touched by organized crime. A film about Italian criminals killing one another. One death after another. Remorseless. Strictly business. The question arises: How are there enough survivors to carry on the business?
