Our new POPCORN NIGHTS programme at Signature Brew kicks off with this quite brilliant music doc.
From their inception in 1995 - to recording their tenth studio album - Mogwai have remained true to their roots. Known for their intense and euphoric live performances, the band have transcended cult status. This is their story.
Filmed over 25 years, with unprecedented access and unseen archive footage, If The Stars Had A Sound is a love-letter to the band’s fans.
Directed by Antony Crook, long term Mogwai collaborator, the film charts Mogwai’s incredible journey and celebrates the connections made through their music.

FRIDAY 24th OCTOBER
FOREST ROAD, WALTHAMSTOW, LONDON E17 4JF
We are delighted to be celebrating Black History Month with Pressure, heralded as the first full-length Black British film and is as relevant now, almost 50 years on, as it ever was. Ové’s ground breaking exploration of the anxieties of an emerging second-generation of West Indians in Britain spans four decades and was described by writer Caryl Phillips as occupying a unique place in British cinema.
Ové’s filmography has encompassed cutting-edge drama and documentary, as well as programmes examining music (Reggae), culture (King Carnival, Skateboard Kings) and the visual arts. At a time when telling authentic Black stories on mainstream broadcast media was incredibly limited, Ové broke through barriers, both at the BBC and Channel 4, to create films that truly represented a multi-cultural Britain, told with an integrity that reflected his own values and political convictions.
Films such as A Hole in Babylon (1979), The Garland (1981) and Playing Away (1985) all hold up a mirror, fusing political activism and a neorealist approach to cinema to create narratives that capture the essence of people and place in a multi-cultural Britain.

Proudly the “antithesis of the multiplex”, for more than a decade we have been touring our Time Out featured mobile repertory cinema through Waltham Forest and beyond, showing over 600 films at 40 venues to 35,000 people in the process.
Started as Stow Film Lounge in 2011 to bring regular commercial screenings back to the Waltham Forest (which at the time was one of only two London Boroughs to have no regular operating cinema) we bought kit, sourced venues and started programming. From Saturday morning kids’ pictures to silent cinema with live orchestra to outdoor screenings to one off cult movie events with Q&As, we deliver diverse bespoke audience screenings but also hit the spot with mainstream blockbusters, both in our home Borough and beyond.
