This British classic was screened with a Q&A with David Wood. David co-starred as one of the three rebel schoolboys in a public school, alongside Malcolm McDowell (Mick) and Richard Warwick (Wallace), and they led the revolution against authority – which was regarded by many as a metaphor for the social and political situation in the UK.
Join us for this podcast to hear David sharing behind the scenes stories and other anecdotes.

Curator, artist and Brighton-resident John Marchant joined us here at the Garden Cinema for a discussion following our screening of Laura Poitras’s All The Beauty And The Bloodshed. The film tells the story of photographer Nan Goldin’s tireless campaign to expose the crimes of the Sackler family and the part they played in the opioid crisis in the US and to kick the Sacklers out of the art spaces they gave money to to whitewash their actions.
John tells us about her artistic process, her resilience, their work together and what the campaigning achieved.
