NxNW6 film listings July 27-Aug 2

Time again for the weekly West Hampstead film round-up brought to you by Mark - the Gael García Bernal of NW6 (tweeting at @NxNW6).

Film Listings for July 27-Aug 2

After 7 days that included the release of The Dark Knight Rises and a free outdoor screening of Breaking Away (powered by bike no less), this week was always going to appear somewhat fallow by comparison. However, look closely enough and there are still some great films around, not least the Film of the Week.

Finally, a quick reminder that the Tricycle isn't showing films this week due to the ongoing Trinidad & Tobago cultural festival.

Film of the Week

Searching for Sugar Man* (2012, music documentary)

Two South Africans set out to discover what happened to their unlikely musical hero, the mysterious 1970s rock & roller, Rodriguez. Very well reviewed and an early frontrunner for ‘Best Documentary’ at next year’s Academy Awards. The man himself has developed a reputation for turning up at screenings.
Everyman Hampstead & Maida Vale – 3 screenings per day (details below).
