Scala!!!
23 March 2024 at 9:00 pm
Dave Barber Cinematheque, 100 Arthur Street
Details
Directed by Jane Giles and Ali Catterall
2023, UK, 96 minutes, English
Canadian premiere.
Based on the award-winning book Scala Cinema 1978-1993 by Jane Giles (FAB Press, 2018) this feature-length big screen documentary tells the riotous inside story of the infamous sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll rep house which inspired a generation during Britain’s turbulent Thatcher years.
The film combines 50 new interviews with diverse audience members who went on to become filmmakers, musicians, writers, actors and artists, combined with previously unseen archive material and iconic movie clips.
With its universal themes of youthful discovery and the underdog vs. the establishment, this is no nostalgia trip but rather a film of universal relevance with clear parallels between then and now. Above all, it’s a hilarious and joyous celebration of cinema-going.
