Members have been asking, and we have listened: The Garden Cinema are thrilled to announce their first Queer Members Mixer. Join us for All About my Mother at 18:30, and stick around in the bar to meet fellow Queer film enthusiasts after the screening.
This event is open to members only. There will be an additional regular screening of All About My Mother on Tuesday 25 April.
This Oscar-winning melodrama, one of Pedro Almodóvar’s most beloved films, provides a dizzying, moving exploration of the meaning of motherhood. In an instant, nurse Manuela (Cecilia Roth) loses the teenage son she raised on her own. Grief-stricken, she sets out to search for the boy’s long-lost father in Barcelona, where she reawakens into a new maternal role, at the head of a surrogate family that includes a pregnant, HIV-positive nun (Penélope Cruz); an illustrious star of the stage (Marisa Paredes); and a transgender sex worker (Antonia San Juan). Beautifully performed and bursting with cinematic references, All About My Mother is a vibrant tribute to female fortitude, a one-of-a-kind family portrait, and a work of boundless compassion.

I can see on this page the movie starts at 18:30, but my ticket says that starts at 18:00. Could you please confirm the correct time ? In any case, I am looking forward to watching again one of my favourite movies.
