reigning women!

We’re super stoked to be bringing back REIGNING WOMEN, our mini-season of events with kick-ass women leading the way. Included this season is our cover star KOKO BROWN, who will be performing her live looping show WHITE (p12), as well as the welcome return of comic extraordinaire KIRI PRITCHARD-McLEAN (p18) and the winner of Brighton Fringe’s Best New Play Award 2018 PASSIONATE MACHINE (p19). Be sure to keep an eye out for our Reigning Women tag throughout the brochure.

As well as this, we’re hosting our first-ever Beer Festival, which we’ve cleverly named TOM’S BEER FEST (p8). With the best in local and national beers on hand, and some awesome live music to keep you entertained, this will be a weekend you won’t forget (well, we guess that’s dependent on how much you drink...)

Our ever popular TOM’S FILM CLUB will be screening a vast array of films for your viewing pleasure. Highlights this season include stunning rotoscope visuals in TEHRAN TABOO (p5), a beat-filled documentary about THE MAN FROM MO’WAX (p22) and a special Valentines Day screening of CINEMA PARADISO (p7).

We also have THE SWALLOWSFEET COLLECTIVE presenting the OOPS FESTIVAL (p21), family fun this February half-term from beatbox superhero SHLOMO (p13) and the TOM debut of the mixed arts spectacular, the MOVES FESTIVAL (p24). There’s even more to be announced on our website, so keep an eye out for all the latest updates.

Thank you for your continued support, we look forward to seeing you soon.

TOM’S FILM CLUB

ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL JAPANESE FILMS OF ALL TIME. A LOVE STORY THAT DEFIES BOTH TIME AND PLACE, DIRECTED BY MAKOTO SHINKAI.

A STRIKING ANIMATED FIRST FEATURE FROM IRANIANBORN WRITER-DIRECTOR ALI SOOZANDEH, GIVING A RARE GLIMPSE INTO IRAN’S STRATIFIED SOCIETY.

Two high-schoolers yearn for a different life from their own, but when they find themselves linked in a bizarre way and forming a connection, will distance be the only thing to keep them apart?

The film follows the interweaving stories of three women and a male musician, using an unusual combination of rotoscoping, motion capture and hand-drawn animation to give the film’s aesthetic a unique and compelling feel. Lively and captivating while also exposing the double sexual and gender standards of traditional Iranian public life, this is an innovative and thought-provoking animation.
