It’s almost time for the third Arty Farty Film Party, and we’ve gone for a real gritty number this time round! Oh and thank you to all that came down for Leon at the last event, it was a great evening and we couldn’t have fit any more people in if we tried!

So yes - back to the upcoming party. After several requests from a fork wielding bunch of film-buffs (*ahem), we’re going for 1960’s kitchen sink dramas.

They are the reason for the phrase “it’s grim up north”; compelling, gritty, dark, depressing social realism. The genre made history in highlighting the plight of the working man in a class-obsessed Britain.

Remember: with the new poll you can vote for an existing film, as well as adding your own choice of film, and if you really think one of the other film suggestions is complete pap you can ‘bury’ it (which is like knocking one vote off). To cast your vote just click on the square to the right of the film title you want to vote for.

The vote closes at 9am, Friday 29th May.
