Date	Location
A fascinating documentary that tracks the rise of Roger Corman, the legendary writer, director and producer known for his low budget exploitation movies of the 1950s and 60s. A true maverick, Corman dealt with hot button social topics like race (The Intruder), Tarantino, Pam Grier, Traci drugs (The Trip) and feminism (The Student Nurses) long before it was fashionable to do so and in fact made them important themes for future cinema. Corman's World celebrates all the brilliance of the… View full details and ticket info

The Crow
Date	Location
Infamous as the film on which martial arts star Bruce Lee's son Brandon was killed by a defective stunt gun, this is the most consistent attempt yet to create on film the distinctive feel of the graphic novel. The characterisation and plot development may be slight – a rock star comes back from the dead to wreak revenge on the gang who killed him and his girlfriend – but stylistically, it's a gem.
