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!
Q&A with Cast & Crew - featuring artist Graham Humphreys, actor Reece Sheersmith, journalist Cathi Unsworth, director Chris Collier moderated by journalist Mike Muncer (Evolution of Horror)
An intimate documentary about Graham Humphreys, the UK’s most iconic horror illustrator—the man behind the original posters for The Evil Dead, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and countless other films that defined a generation of horror cinema.
Told entirely in Graham’s own words through conversations with Reece Shearsmith, Andy Nyman, and Alan Jones, the film traces his journey from childhood obsessions to becoming one of the most celebrated visual artists in horror.
With an opportunity to take some signed posters/prints.
Anton Bitel “A compelling picture of creativity on the margins.”
Andy Nyman “Utterly delightful.”
Kim Newman "Full of warmth and enthusiasm.”
★★★★★ - Starburst (Martin Unsworth) “A warmly engaging portrait… a national treasure.”
Funeral Parade is proud to present Young Soul Rebels, Isaac Julien’s queer cult classic about funk, punk, and coming of age in late ‘70s London.
The year is 1977, the Queen's Silver Jubilee is fast approaching, and DJs Chris (Valentine Nonyela) and Caz (Mo Sesay) are bringing the sounds of soul, disco, and funk to London’s airwaves with Soul Patrol, the pirate radio station they operate from an East End garage. After the death of their friend, who is killed during a night-time cruise in the park, the pair find themselves implicated in the murder when Chris comes into possession of a cassette tape which contains a recording of the killer’s voice. Meanwhile, Caz is falling head over heels for punk rocker Billibud (Jason Durr), even as omnipresent homophobia and racial tensions threaten to pull the young lovers apart. A unique blend of thriller, social realism, and the ‘hangout movie’, Young Soul Rebels is vibrant celebration of music and youth culture, as well as a vital comment on the UK’s deep-seated divisions.
Featuring Post-Film Q&A with John Minton (Director), Marc Bessant (lead actor) and Geoff Barrow (Producer)
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.
Involvement with an ethereal stranger (Terence Stamp) leaves an indelible spiritual effect on a Milanese bourgeoisie family.
