Funeral Parade is proud to present Caravaggio, Derek Jarman’s highly stylised biography of one of Renaissance art’s most enduring figures. 

The year is 1610 and renaissance painter Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (Nigel Terry) is wanted for murder. Having been on the run for four years, he finds himself on his deathbed, where he tended to by his young apprentice, John Jerusaleme (Spencer Leigh). As he slips away into death, Caravaggio recalls his life: his rise to prominence with the help of the Vatican; his unorthodox use of sex workers and homeless people as models for religious paintings; and his tempestuous love affairs with Ranuccio (Sean Bean) and Lena (Tilda Swinton). A biopic that’s unconventional as it is stunningly beautiful, Jarman’s Caravaggio remains a powerful portrait of the interplay between art and life from one of queer cinema’s most essential filmmakers.

On Friday 6th February, join us for a special Q&A with Director Jamie Babbit, presented by Donkey Tail Film Club and the Queer Filmmakers’ Network, moderated by Nora Dahle Borchgrevink, director of Donkey Tail. 

Megan (Natasha Lyonne) considers herself a typical American girl. She excels in school and cheerleading, and she has a handsome football-playing boyfriend, even though she isn't that crazy about him. So she's stunned when her parents decide she's gay and send her to True Directions, a boot camp meant to alter her sexual orientation. While there, Megan meets a rebellious and unashamed teen lesbian, Graham (Clea DuVall). Though Megan still feels confused, she starts to have feelings for Graham.

Another big screen celebration of the artform and cultural phenomenon of Music Video is coming to the Prince Charles Cinema on Thursday, March 5th.

The first meeting of Music Video Preservation Society at the PCC this year follows three memorable outings in 2025 - most recently in November with the legendary director Julien Temple - and once again MVPS host David Knight will present an eclectic selection of music videos from the 1970s to the 2020s, and welcome amazing guests who have made a major contribution to music videos to talk about their work.

And following the news of MTV closing all its music channels in the UK and elsewhere at the end of last year - prompting a wave of nostalgia for the network in its heyday - MVPS will reflect upon the influence of MTV on music video creativity in the late 80s and early 90s through cult shows like Yo! MTV Raps and 120 Minutes.

Also, on the eve of his 35th birthday, there will be a tribute to a true original, generational talent: Tyler, The Creator. The hip hop star has blazed a trail since the late Noughties and always made fantastic videos - in fact, usually directing them himself.

There will also be the story behind the video that inspired the poster for this show - plus some of the best new work in music videos too. All in the next meeting of Music Video Preservation Society at the PCC at 8.30pm on March 5th. It's going to be another memorable evening so book your tickets today!

Late summer 1993. After stealing a stash of money and drugs, aging raver David crashes his car deep in the woods - trapped in the wreckage, injured and helpless, he hangs suspended between life and death. When a mysterious poacher discovers him, no rescue comes, only a watchful, unsettling presence that seems intent on letting nature finish the job. As the hours stretch and the elements close in, a tense and claustrophobic battle of wills, and wits, unfolds - where survival hinges on outlasting both the wilderness and the predator at its edge.​
