NEW SCREENING ANNOUNCEMENT! 🚨🎉

THE WIZ Thu 28 May 2026 19.30 🧙🏼👠

Ticket link in bio

Make Scene Film Club invites you to ease on down the road with: The Wiz - a dazzling, disco-infused reimagining of The Wizard of Oz that turns a familiar tale into something bold, soulful and super extra.

Directed by Sidney Lumet and featuring music supervised by the legendary Quincy Jones, this 1978 spectacle transforms Oz into a dreamlike, urban fantasia. The yellow brick roads become city streets and underground stations, the Emerald City is a motel and Dorothy Gale’s home is a New York apartment filled with family. It’s big, it’s weird, it’s camp…and unapologetically black.

At the centre is “The Boss” herself... Miss Diana Ross, giving us a Dorothy who is less wide-eyed ingénue and more searching, vulnerable adult. A beloved gay icon in a story adopted by the LGBTQ community, The Wiz taps into the long-standing q***r love for The Wizard of Oz - a story already rich with themes of chosen family, transformation and finding where you belong - and reframes it through Black culture and community. The result is something powerful: a story where marginalised identity, resilience and self-acceptance intersect that’s more than just “the Motown version” of L. Frank Baum’s classic American fairytale.

And the vibe...glittering visuals, quirky performances (jumpscare from Michael Jackson as the Scarecrow and a delicious turn from Richard Prior as The Wiz himself), and a soundtrack that swings from gospel to funk to full disco fantasy with beautiful songs that match the classic 1939 version (“Home” and “Ease on Down The Road” being the standouts).

The Wiz is messy, magical, and completely one of a kind - a camp classic that doesn’t just follow the same old yellow brick road, it creates it’s own path and struts right down it to the Emerald City and back to the real world.

EYES OF LAURA MARS screening at introduced by curator and lead programmer

TOMORROW/WEDNESDAY NIGHT 🚨 EYES OF LAURA MARS Wed 22 April

Make A Scene Film Club invites you to witness Eyes of Laura Mars - a supernatural horror thriller so stylish it practically demands to be watched with a cocktail in hand and cigarette to steady your nerves. Directed by Irvin Kershner (later of The Empire Strikes Back fame) and written by none other than horror maestro John Carpenter, this 1978 oddity blends high fashion, psychic visions and serial killer thrills into a mirrorball fever dream.

Set in the glittering world of late-70s New York fashion photography the film follows Laura Mars - a photographer who starts seeing murders through the killer’s eyes.

Eyes of Laura Mars is a disco-infused take on the giallo genre - a style usually associated with Italian cinema (Dario Argento’s Susperia as a keystone example) all stylised violence, voyeurism and high-gloss visuals. But here, it’s been filtered through American fashion culture: think Studio 54 energy meets slasher horror.

The film’s striking photographic aesthetic is heavily shaped by the work of Helmut Newton, whose provocative, controversial fashion imagery gives the film its inspiration and unique look.

Leading it all is Faye Dunaway, delivering another of her full-throttle performances - intense, glamorous and unhinged, it’s up there with Mommie Dearest.

Adding to the film’s pedigree (and camp credentials), the theme song comes from Barbra Streisand, whose track “Prisoner” brings full diva energy to an already heightened experience. All of this combined with the sheer audacity of its concept sees Eyes of Laura Mars stand as a truly unique horror thriller that Quentin Tarantino cites as one of his favourites.

Whether you’re here for the lurid murders, the disco tunes and vintage fashions or the smattering of q***r supporting characters including the voice of Chucky himself Brad Dourif this is one screening you won’t forget.

All of our screenings are 18+ unless otherwise stated and the film start time is as advertised above. Intro by Make A Scene programmer and lead
