BOOK NOW TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT

Tattoo (1975)
A argument against ideas of conventional beauty. Influenced by the imagery of Allen Jones, the film marks the rise of alternative culture and constitutes a brilliant testimony to the times in which it was made.

Dressing for Pleasure (1977)
Banned by London Weekend Television, the centres around AtomAge – a magazine for fetishists and  the shop Sex (run by Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren) the only place that openly sold fetish latex wear and was a hang-out for punks.

Britannia (1979)
A group of volunteers restore an old locomotive. The theme of resurrection runs throughout the film.

Arrows (1980)
The darts champion Eric Bristow is presented as a modern gunslinger. Not simply a film about a sports celebrity, but about a nation.

The Skin Horse (1983)
In this unique documentary disabled people talk about their sexual needs. Making powerful references to Browning's Freaks and Lynch's The Elephant Man, the film questions society's views on disabled people and takes a critical look at the mechanics of institutionalisation.
