Movie Credits

Legendary Children [All of Them Queer]

Titled after Holly Johnson's iconic anthem, Legendary Children [All Of Them Queer] follows many of the original pioneers of the 1972 and first European Pride March during events over the summer of Pride 50 when the UK marked its 50th anniversary in spectacular style. The headline cast encompasses some of the most genuinely influential figures in UK LGBTQIA+ rights activism and its history. Like their US counterparts in the two years following the Stonewall Riots, these remarkable individuals were there at the very start when Pride was taking its first steps in Europe too. We won't quite see their like again. Not a history lesson, the film is a lively, informal celebration and personal recollection of many stages along the way of 50 years of activism, both then and now, by those who were there.
Released : 16th-Jun-2023

The Secret Policeman's Ball

Amnesty decided not to present a benefit show in 1978 in order to consider how to make better use of the performing talent so favourably disposed to assist it in raising funds. Peter Luff left Amnesty in 1978 and the organisation's new fund-raising officer, Peter Walker, was deputed to work with Lewis on reconfiguring the show to raise more money and greater awareness of Amnesty. Lewis proposed to Cleese that in addition to the comedy performances the show should feature some contemporary rock musicians. Cleese delegated this responsibility to Lewis who recruited Who guitarist Pete Townshend to perform, as well as New Wave singer-songwriter Tom Robinson.

27: Gone Too Soon

Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison all died at the age of 27 between 1969 and 1971. At the time, the coincidence gave rise to some comment, but it was not until the death of Kurt Cobain, about two and a half decades later, that the idea of a "27 Club" began to catch on in public perception, reignited with the death of Amy Winehouse in 2011. Through interviews with people who knew them, such as music stars, critics, medical experts and unseen footage, the lives, music, and artistry of those who died at 27 are investigated with a bid to find answers.
Released : 26th-Mar-2018
