Little Joe, a magazine about queers and cinema, mostly, will launch A Little Film Club, a monthly screening programme in London, supported by Film London’s new Community Pilot Fund Scheme.
A Little Film Club will alternate between The Cinema Museum in Kennington and the Rio Cinema in Dalston and develops the concept of the magazine into an unique space for the exhibition and discussion of films that inspire alternative discourse. Incorporating an eclectic programme of films mapping the subterranean queer canon of cinema, the screenings will also feature extended introductions, discussions and social events.
The programme begins with Jack Hazan’s A Bigger Splash, a unique insight into the world of David Hockney at the height of his fame during the 1970s, at the Cinema Museum on Tuesday 31 January. Little Joe is proud to welcome Jack Hazan who will be in conversation with Stuart Comer (Curator of Film at Tate Modern) following the screening.
Adrian Wootton, Chief Executive of Film London said: “Film London is delighted to support Little Joe’s screening programme via the new Community Pilot Fund. The fund is set up to allow us to support new and innovative community based projects that will extend the cultural film offer to audiences across the capital and we look forward to working with Little Joe to achieve this.”
Little Joe’s A Little Film Club is supported by Film London’s Community Pilot Fund through National Lottery Funding on behalf of the BFI.
