Club Deluxe: 40 Years of ICA Cinema
29 November 2008 - 30 December 2008
When the ICA Cinema opened on The Mall in 1968 it operated as a film club for ICA Members only, before becoming a cinema open to the public, showing films outside the mainstream. As a special anniversary present to our audience, Club Deluxe offers a fine selection of weekend matinees and double bills, looking back at the films that made their mark in the ICA cinema programme over the past four decades. From artfully deranged classics to seminal gangster flicks and surrealist fairy tales, these uncompromising celluloid treats by some of the world’s greatest directors were all first seen and celebrated in the UK in the ICA's cinemas.
Club Deluxe is curated by Pamela Jahn.
