Mile End’s beloved cinema is turning 27, and it’s bringing the gifts to you.
Celebrating in style, Genesis Cinema is pricing tickets like it’s 1999, meaning your next cinema trip will cost you no more than spare change. Tickets are on offer for just £2.50, with popcorn combos for a fiver, served alongside a hand-picked selection of the finest films to grace the big screen across the last two decades.
Among the unmissable flicks are Céline Sciamma’s arthouse gem Petite Maman, the BAFTA-winning How To Have Sex, and, in all his ogre glory, none other than Shrek.
There will be a particularly special screening of Wim Wenders’ ’80s classic Paris, Texas, followed by a bar-side conversation with Nick Walters of Cult Classic Collective. Have your questions at the ready.
Fancy something a bit more hardcore? Film bros assemble: Scarface is back in all its blood-soaked glory, featuring Al Pacino in his prime. Or revisit Patrick Bateman’s nightmare-warped universe in American Psycho, before Luca Guadagnino’s upcoming adaptation takes over the cultural conversation.
You can catch them all from May 8-22, and head over to the official website to see the full birthday lineup.
