Monday, September 26th, 2011

Greetings film fans;

Well, it’s been a wonderful two years of fun, films and frenzied voting. Alas as that old cliche goes, all good things etc etc.

Yes, we’ve decided to put Arty Farty Film Party on long-term hiatus. Partly because of my personal situation (I no longer live in Manchester), but mainly because An Outlet has recently closed it’s doors for good. It’s a real shame, as it was such a wonderful venue with a truly individual program of events.

Perhaps I’ll start up Arty Farty Film Party London soon, who knows. But until then, thanks everyone - it’s been a pleasure.

Love, Arty Farty Film Party x

July’s Party

Tuesday, May 24th, 2011

Thanks to everyone that came down for Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom - it’s such a great film, just as good as we remembered as kids (for the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth… time we watched it). So we’ve come up with a new decade and genre combo for you, and after initially thinking of a couple of classics, after some research it turned out there are absolutely loads of corking films to choose from! Ladies and gents, add your choice to the already vast (16 starters - a new record?) 90s Crime / Gangster Films poll!

To cast your vote just click on the square to the right of the film title you want to vote for. Also - you can vote for every film if you care to, but only one vote per film. Just to help you out if you’re feeling torn!

Friday, March 4th, 2011

Please accept our apologies for the cancellation of March’s film party. Our regular host was a little under the weather, so we’re going to repeat our 80s action / adventure theme for you again in June. To welcome in the spring (fingers crossed) we’re going for your choice of always colourful (if not necessarily uplifting)… 00s documentary films!

December’s Party - with Tome Deaf

Wednesday, December 1st, 2010

This month we’re going to be doing our film party a week later than normal, to coincide with the second installment of Tome Deaf book club (concerned with discussing books on the lives and works of renegade musicians). As we’re reading Boy George’s autobiography - Take It Like A Man - it seemed only fitting to screen your choice of gay interest film, with a 90s twist…

October’s Party - with Tome Deaf

Friday, October 1st, 2010

This month we’re doing things a little differently. An Outlet are arranging some of their regular gatherings to coincide with In The City, as part of the official line-up. They’re also debuting their new book club - Tome Deaf: concerned with discussing books on the lives and works of renegade musicians. This month it’s The Dirt - the Motley Crue biography. I’m 3/4 of the way through so far and I have to say I’m riveted. I may have developed a soft spot for Tommy Lee too. All are welcome to attend (ITC wristband holders especially so), and you can find more info about that event here: Tome Deaf Facebook Event.

We’ll be teaming up with Tome Deaf to cap off the evening with some audio visual stimulation, so after the discussion it seems only fitting that we screen your favourite… music biopic!

July’s Party

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

Thanks to all that came down for ‘Moon’ earlier this month - what a great performance by Sam Rockwell, and Kevin Spacey as the voice of the computer was a great choice. So this month we’re making a revisit to a genre we’ve done before, but this time with a different decade. Get your hair pushed into curtains, your crop top t shirts and your stonewashed Levis back out of the cupboard for…90’s Teen Films!
