Out 1 is a 13-hour film by Jacques Rivette. Yes, 773 minutes. The film is structurally indebted to early silent serials, such as Louis Feuillade’s Les Vampires, and is thus divided into eight distinctive episodes of around 90 – 100 minutes each. There are several independent narratives and sub-plots, with many of the characters loosely connected to each other.
Loosely inspired by Honoré de Balzac’s La Comédie humaine, Out 1: Noli me tangere is an absorbing, multi-stranded epic involving a quest to uncover a secret society in post-May 1968 Paris, with an enormous cast made up of French heavyweights like Jean-Pierre Léaud, Juliet Berto and Bernadette Lafont, not to mention cameos from directors like Eric Rohmer and Barbet Schroeder.
Constructed as eight feature-length episodes which run over almost thirteen hours, it was originally screened just once in its original cut in 1971, with rare subsequent screenings in the ‘90s and ‘00s becoming the stuff of legend in cinema circles.
We last screened OUT 1 over two days in 2015, in collaboration with The Badlands Collective and A Nos Amours. Now, we are doing the unthinkable – presenting the entire 13-hour film in one sitting on Bank Holiday Monday 31st August!
The eight episodes of the film will be shown over 4 parts with two episodes per part, and a 15-20 minute break between each part.
Running Times:
09:00 - Episodes 1 & 2 (191 mins)
12:40 - Episodes 3 & 4 (205 mins)

Tickets are £42.50 Members / £45 Non-Members.
Why is the ticket price higher than usual?
Events like this are very rare and occupy several regular programme slots. As it runs in 8 episodes across 4 usual programme slots (2 episodes per programme slot), the ticket price is set to cover our operational costs. At £45, this works out at approximately £5.63 per episode. When we last ran this event in 2015, tickets were £40 for non-members. Increasing the price to £45 over more than a decade is well below the rate of inflation, meaning the event is actually cheaper in real terms than it was in 2015.
