Isla from comms has been getting her claws into the brand new occulture_magazine special edition zine celebrating Ken Russell’s The Devils - and you can get your hands on one for FREE when you come to the opening night screening 😈

Censored for more than half a century, Ken Russell’s visionary masterpiece returns to the big screen fully restored in 4K and cut to Russell’s direction - the first publicly released version of the film as intended by the filmmaker. Unveiled at the 79th Cannes Film Festival, the definitive version arrives 55 years after the film’s original release. 

Starring Oliver Reed and Vanessa Redgrave, Ken Russell’s The Devils remains a landmark exploration of religious persecution, hysteria and institutional corruption.

Join us for The Devils at 20:40 on Fri 30 Oct, and every ticketholder to this opening night screening will receive a free copy of this special screening companion to one of cinema’s most notorious films 🐾
