Mile End's beloved Genesis Cinema is celebrating its 27th birthday by rolling back ticket prices to 1999 levels. From May 8 to 22, moviegoers can enjoy screenings for just £2.50, with popcorn combos available for a fiver. The cinema has curated a selection of standout films from the past two decades, including Céline Sciamma's arthouse gem Petite Maman, the BAFTA-winning How To Have Sex, and the beloved animated classic Shrek.
Special Screenings and Events
One highlight is a screening of Wim Wenders' 1980s classic Paris, Texas, followed by a bar-side conversation with Nick Walters of the Cult Classic Collective. For those seeking more intense fare, Scarface returns with Al Pacino in his prime, and American Psycho offers a glimpse into Patrick Bateman's twisted world, just before Luca Guadagnino's upcoming adaptation takes over the cultural conversation.
