how Canning Town venue Social Convention hosts screenings of cult movies for strictly adult audiences

by Jon Massey

Canning Town venue Social Convention on Caxton Street

North, is set to host a series of lm screenings over the coming weeks.

The bar, intended as a place for creative and simply curious people to hang out, is gearing up to show a selection of movies to entertain and provoke thought in its audiences.

The run starts with a muchloved cinema classic, 1975’s The Rocky Horror Picture Show on February 15.

Starring Tim Curry as Transylvanian transvestite, Dr Frank-N-Furter, it follows sweethearts Brad and Janet as they discover his eerie mansion and the weird and wonderful characters within, including Meat Loaf as a rocking biker and the lm’s writer Richard O’Brien as creepy butler Ri Ra . Screenings cost £6, start at 6.30pm and include a short lm as well as a chat in the bar afterwards.

Also coming up is an evening featuring John Waters’ genre-stretching Pink Flamingos, billed as an exercise in bad taste and starring countercultural drag queen Divine.

Originally only screened after midnight due to the extreme content of its narrative, Waters’ 1972 work has since been preserved by the Library Of Congress in recognition of its cultural, historical or aesthetic signi cance. The lm will be screened at Social Convention on March 8.

Later in the month – on March 29, to be exact – the venue will show Alejandoro Jodorowky’s El Topo. This Mexican acid western art lm follows a black-clad gun ghter played by the director himself as he makes his way through the desert on a quest for enlightenment.

Audiences can expect extreme violence, bizarre characters and hefty doses of religious symbolism in equal measure. You’ll never look at geometric objects or beehives in quite the same way again. Go to socialconvention.org for more information

In September last year, the East London Science School joined the Harris Federation – a trust comprising more than 50 primary and secondary schools in and around London.

Originally founded as a standalone free school in 2013, the newly named Harris Science Academy East London has become part of a much wider family of institutions and has its eyes firmly on the future.

The ultimate plan for the academy is a move just across the Channelsea River into purposebuilt premises as part of Berkeley Homes’ vast TwelveTrees Park. This development will see some 3,800 homes and other amenities constructed on land between the River Lea and West Ham station.

In the meantime, however, the academy remains based across two sites – The Clock Mill and Lock-Keepers – for Years 7-9 and 10-11 respectively, having last month opened a new sixth form facility at Three Mills.

Principal Mark Taylor said: “The new building is called Custom House and was historically used for checking goods coming in and out of the area.

“The academy was previously on three sites with the sixth form based in facilities at Eastlea Community School. The opening of Custom House means we can bring those students back to the Three Mills site, which is very important.

“Sixth formers should be the leading students in any school. From the point of view of unity and the vision of the school it’s perfect. It brings us together and helps to create a common purpose in terms of what we’re trying to do here. Having those sixth formers on this site shows our younger students where they can get to – it really makes a difference if they are visible.

“The building itself has been renovated to a high standard by the film studio that’s based next door to us and, as it became clearer that relocating the sixth form would be beneficial, the Harris Federation team secured it for us and set it up properly for our staff and students.

“It has some beautiful, traditional features and a lovely layout but with modern facilities. We are expecting Lord Harris to open it on March 9, which will also mark the o cial launch of the Harris Science Academy East London.”

Joining the Harris Federation is a big change in itself for the institution. The organisation educates tens of thousands of pupils in the capital and employs thousands of teachers.

“Primarily what the federation brings to us is the organisational infrastructure to support what we are doing – something that can be challenging for an academy on a temporary site like we are,” said Mark. “It has the resources to ensure that we have everything that’s appropriate to a modern school setting in terms of safeguarding and in areas of compliance.

“The federation also offers an enormous amount of teaching support. It has subject consultants to help our staff deliver the best education to our students that they can and to help teachers as we continue to recover from the effects of the pandemic.

“The federation has a wealth of experience that we can draw on to ensure our students get the best outcomes possible and has a strong track record in doing that. This includes a focus on the
