White Wall Cinema

A Brighton pop up cinema community. Much of today's film culture is centred around mass release hype movies like The Avengers, or 50 Shades of Grey.

It is our mission to screen a variety of alternative, fun, interesting, unusual, cult, and all time classic films in intimate locations around Brighton. We want to bring an alternative option where people can enjoy cinema that won't grace the screens of your local multiplex. We want to provide a place not only for new exciting cinema, but lost & undiscovered gems of the past, alongside cult favour

ites & definitive cinematic classics that whilst widely known about, still seem to remain unseen by the vast majority of the people we speak to and are rarely seen on a big screen. All of this in a fun informal friendly "pop up" environment where discussion and a deeper understanding of these movies can occur pre and post screenings.

Meet Mick Foley, who features in our September 17th documentary screening at WWC.

Or is it Cactus Jack, Dude Love, or Mankind? Confused? You will be when you begin to understand that one of the most violent men ever to step foot in a wrestling ring is also one of the kindest, warmest, and cuddliest people to ever walk the planet.

Even more bizarrely, this is a man known not only for bashing away his brain cells by smashing steel chairs into his head but also for being a New York Times No.1 bestselling author and an exceptionally erudite writer.

Foley is known for playing three very different characters:

Cactus Jack - a deranged, sadistic outlaw brawler who loves rolling around in rings full of thumb tacks and C4 explosives in Japan.

Mankind - a basement-dwelling Hannibal Lecter style character who eventually became a cuddly children’s style character sporting a sock puppet named Mr Socko.

And Dude Love - a groovy, psychedelic ladies’ man who was initially nothing more than a figment of Foley’s imagination, until he was brought to life late in Foley’s career thanks to the resurfacing of a teenage VHS tape featuring the persona (and him jumping off the roof of his parents garage).

Whether he’s being a tender family man who loves Tori Amos and writes children’s books promoting an anti-bullying message, or the hardcore wrestling legend wrapping himself in barbed wire and being thrown from the top of a 16-foot-high steel cage by The Undertaker(!), Foley is one of the most fascinatingly contradictory characters in a world already packed with utterly bizarre and contradictory figures.

Join us for this special screening of Beyond the Mat, the documentary that features Foley (among others), as Hollywood screenwriter Barry Blaustein tries to understand what type of human could do this for a living.

We’ll also be joined by our special Q&A guest, DanHiggins who will be discussing his new book Lords of the Ring, which investigates pro wrestling’s considerable influence on our social, cultural, and political landscape.

GET TICKETS NOW VIA THE LINK IN OUR BIO for what promises to be an unexpectedly fascinating evening.

We finally made it outside! 🌳 Last night's garden screening was a lovely affair and finally put an end to a bit of bad weather luck for our outdoor screenings this year. Not that it matters, as of course, we have a great inside screen to save you all soggy bums when that happens, but it was great to finally get out there again.

The team will now retreat back in indoors, plan some outdoor technical adjustments and improvements, and screenings themes for next years garden events, and dive headlong into our weekly indoor screening programme for late summer and Autumn.

Lots of films announced on the website. We are back Wednesday for our Beatles event (just a couple of tickets left for that), then next week it's our first ever Ingmar Bergman screening on Sept. 2nd. Yes next week is September!

Plus, as the photo might give away... we are running another White Wall Cinema Social Club on Sept 22nd. Tickets for that are on sale now!

Meet Terry Funk who features in our Sept 17th doc screening. Terry is one of the most affable and kind humans you could ever wish to meet, but also one of the wildest and most unhinged professional wrestlers of all time.

As Hollywood screenwriter and director of our Sept 17th film Beyond The Mat, Barry Blaustein puts it "A lot of guys acted crazy, but Terry made you believe it might be true."

No stranger to Holloywood himself Funk appeared in numerous films, including Patrick Swayze's Roadhouse, and repeatedly worked on films with his friend Sylvester Stallone. Hell, he even starred in an episode of Quantum Leap.

But to wrestling fans, Terry was always the wildcard of the Funk family wrestling dynasty. Residing in 'The Double Cross Ranch' in Amarillo Texas, Funk was a multiple time world champion who was just as happy tending to his horses on the ranch as he was attacking his opponents with a flaming branding iron (no really) in the ring.

A true character the late Funk was a (barely) walking contradiction and is a fascinating subject for our Sept 17th doc screening about the bizarre world of pro-wrestling, that will be preceded by an equally fascinating chat with author Dan Higgins discussing his new book Lords Of The Ring which delves into how our social, political and cultural landscape intersects with the wild and often misunderstood art form of professional wrestling.

🌸More tickets released for this Friday at WWC🌸

Missed out on tickets for this special screening of one of the most beloved doc films ever?

Never fear we have just released extra tickets so you can come and meet Big & Little Edie this Friday at WWC.

Don't dilly dally! They won't last long! They are available now via the link in our bio.

By turns funny, melancholy and unexpectedly beautiful, Grey Gardens has inspired an Emmy and Golden Globe-winning HBO adaptation starring Jessica Lange and Drew Barrymore, a Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, as well as a legion of fans worldwide who will gladly dress up as the duo and quote their many memorable utterances. Few documentaries achieve this level of intimacy and character revelation; watching Grey Gardens feels like meeting two wonderfully eccentric friends who will stay with you for life.

🌸Don't miss the chance to experience this classic with an audience as we kick off the second half of our 2026 programme with this special screening of Grey Gardens THIS FRIDAY.🌸

8PM WEDS SEPT. 2ND - Summer With Monika by Ingmar Bergman at WWC

Unmissable on the big screen. Get tickets via the link in our bio.

Bergman's first work with his future frequent collaborator Harriet Andersson, (she and the director would embark on an affair during production... and it shows) the film features a spectacular and now-iconic performance from Andersson as Monika, embodying an earthy sensuality, a knowing sexuality and a devilish impetuousness.

Despite its apparent simplicity (the film is certainly among the most accessible of Bergman's works), it displays remarkable maturity for the then 34-year-old director, forming a bridge between his early films and the internationally renowned masterpieces that followed, including The Seventh Seal, Wild Strawberries, Persona and F***y and Alexander.

A week Sunday under the stars in our garden (Sun Aug 23rd) we are getting the gang back together for a special outdoor screening of the iconic 1986 film (celebrating it's 40th anniversary this year) Rob Reiner's Stand By Me.

Featuring a remarkable young cast, including Wil Wheaton (Star Trek: The Next Generation), River Phoenix (My Own Private Idaho), Corey Feldman (Gremlins, The Goonies), Jerry O'Connell (Jerry Maguire) and Kiefer Sutherland (The Lost Boys), Stand By Me, named after the iconic Ben E. King song, is a masterclass in understated, truthful storytelling.

Warm, nostalgic, and quietly profound, it remains as emotionally resonant today as it was four decades ago.

Grab tickets now via the link in our bio.
