CINETOPIA
Cinetopia have been holding film events since 2005 at various venues in SE London including The Crown & Greyhound in Dulwich Village and the Lewisham Art House.
Cinetopia combine the magic of film with the warm conviviality of the pub quiz and add a touch of mystery. Each event includes a quiz, food and a bar. To add extra frisson the audience do not know what the film is until they turn up. In other words, always expect the unexpected.
Previously shown films include classics such as Orson Welles’ Touch of Evil and John Ford’s My Darling Clementine as well as contemporary arthouse gems by Jacques Audiard (Read My Lips) and Lukas Moodysson (Together).
