Ashley Hans Scherli’s (Flaming Ears) queer, avant -garde wonderwork Dandy Dust is a transgressive transmission from the future of gender. This rare screening follows gender fluid cyborg Dust (Ashley Hans Scherli) hurtling through space and time, seeking both memory and identity. Truly transgressive, Dandy Dust invites us to ignore the limits of our bodies and the place in which we occupy them.
Dandy Dust beams into the Prince Charles Cinema as part of the Tetsuo And Beyond Season. The season is presented with the National Film and Television School’s Film Studies, Programming and Curation MA.
'Tis the season for love, laughter, and one of the most cherished stories of all time! Join Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, and all the hilarious Muppets in this merry, magical version of Charles Dickens' classic tale.

Filled with original music and dazzling special effects, THE MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL will become a holiday tradition your family will treasure all the days of the year.

The Ballad of Wallis Island follows Charles (Tim Key), an eccentric lottery winner who lives alone on a remote island and dreams of getting his favorite musicians, Mortimer-McGwyer (Carey Mulligan and Tom Basden) back together. His fantasy quickly turns into reality when the bandmates and former lovers accept his invitation to play a private show at his home on Wallis Island. Old tensions resurface as Charles tries desperately to salvage his dream gig.
Funeral Parade is proud to present Judy Garland, one of Hollywood’s first gay icons, in A Star is Born, George Cukor’s timeless showbiz fable about a tempestuous love affair between a living legend in decline and superstar on the rise.
Esther Blodgett (Garland) was just a small-time singer making ends meet until she had a chance encounter Norman Maine (James Mason), a fading matinee idol. With Norman’s help, Esther lands herself a contract at a major Hollywood movie studio, where she is primped and preened for stardom. Rechristened “Vicki Lester”, she quickly becomes a household name, while Norman, now her husband, slips further into irrelevancy and alcoholism. A brilliant example of both the musical and the melodrama, A Star is Born’s unique mix of razzle-dazzle and high tragedy make it a key film for Garland’s enduring status as a gay icon.
