12-2pm : Classic Feature
3.30-5.30 : Family Feature
5.30-7 : Independent cinema curated by Portobello FIlm Festival
7-9 : Evening Feature
THEME : GANGS
The word 'gang' originally comes from old European words (Norse, Germanic, Old English) that initially meant "a going", "journey" or Passage".
The word evolved to mean a group of people journeying or travelling together. It would be used to describe those on a pilgramage together. It evolved further in the 17th and 18th century to mean a group of workers. In the 18th and 19th century it began to take on its more negative meaning, to describe people engaged in criminal behaviour. The term 'Gangster' appeared at the end of the 19th century.
Enjoy our unique selection of films that most definitely explore the notion of 'gangs'....from a journey across New York, and a defining art movement that came out of that same city's criminal gang scene....to the challenges of joining (and escaping) institutional and cultural gangs....to the sweet nostalgia of a gang of friends.
