Description

Experience films in a whole new way - no seats, just a ticket and a dancefloor! (Chairs can be provided upon request.)

Newly restored in 4K to coincide with its 40th anniversary, the 1984 film Stop Making Sense was directed by renowned filmmaker Jonathan Demme and is considered by critics to be the greatest concert film of all time. Shot over the course of three nights at Hollywood’s Pantages Theater in December of 1983, it features Talking Heads’ most memorable songs.

Doors will be open from 7pm.

The bar will be open for the duration of the performance.

DJ Dom Gourlay (Drowned in Sound) and Jimi Arundell will be playing music before and after the screening, until late.

Tickets cost £9 | £8 concessions | £5 child | £4 16-25 members. Buy tickets at the Bonington Theatre website.
