have they really gone for ever?
28 November 2024
It's a rather good documentary and it is a decent spilt between the short clips of the films and the people who came to watch, the musicians, the film makers and those like me who also wanted to see those films. Actually I was a bit older than most and during the middle of the sixties towards the end of the seventies instead of Scala it was Time Out that was my bible. Every week I would read every film listing and find where I could go and see all those very strange films that I couldn't see anywhere else. Usually it would be the NFT (now BFI) on the South Bank, in Camden at the London Film-makers' Co-operative and then some fleapit cinema or maybe some that had all-nighters and of course the film clubs. Watching this today it really takes me back and I think everyone should have a look and see just how good it was and also those amazing posters. But now, not just has the Scala cinema gone, but also the films. We can watch those old ones again but where are any new ones of those 'incredibly strange' or have they really gone for ever?
