The Wicker Man (50th Anniversary) + Special Recorded Content
Special 50th anniversary screening of THE WICKER MAN - the final cut and 4k restoration of the classic 1973 horror, plus extra special content.
When a young girl mysteriously disappears, Police Sergeant Howie travels to a remote Scottish island to investigate. But this pastoral community, led by the strange Lord Summerisle, is not what it seems as the devoutly religious detective soon uncovers a secret society of wanton lust and pagan blasphemy.

Broadside Hacks is a sprawling collective of young musicians who meet regularly for casual, open-to-all jam sessions at a South London pub. The Broadside Hacks record label put out the compilation 'Songs Without Authors Vol.1' in September 2021: a diverse array of left-field artists injecting fresh life into songs whose original authors have been lost in time. The film ‘The Broadside Hack’ explores a wider network of London musicians employing traditional folk influences in vastly different ways, from multi-genre experimentalism to forthright politics, of which Broadside Hacks are just one crucial part.
