Join us on midwinter's night for an uprising – hopefully the first of many to come. A spontaneous ritual of hope, horror and vital energy from the deep pagan heart of this unruly land.

"Stephen, our land must live. This land we love must live. Her deep, dark flame must never die. Night is falling. Your land and mine goes down into a darkness now, and I, and all the other guardians of her flame are driven from our home up out into the wolf’s jaw. But the flame still flickers in the fen."

Rarely screened and often whispered-about, Penda's Fen (1974) was part of the BBC's A Play For Today series which also birthed Mike Leigh's classic class tragedy Abigail's Party. It is an inscrutable and beautifully written and acted journey to the vibrant pagan heart of England, a hauntological masterpiece of criss-crossed personalities, histories, desires and sensibilities. Stephen's prudish and elitist worldview, the very embodiment of establishment England, is broken apart piece by piece in a true initiation into the mysteries of this land. A pagan classic, a folk horror must-see, and truly a message by which we can navigate these uncertain and precarious times.

DOORS: 18.45
SCREENING: 19.00
