“Cult films last forever.”

Bruce Campbell
Scottish classic of cult cinema, Danny Boyle’s 1996 Trainspotting has turned 30. A new 4K restoration comes to cinemas this August. To celebrate the release, Park Circus threw a special event at Edinburgh Film Festival - a standing live commentary screening with cast and crew, followed by a club night with Irvine Welsh and Darren Emerson on the decks. Nathan Brown attended and noted his thoughts, while reflecting on his favourite film as it turns 30 years old. As summer closes, spooky season awaits… In need of some queer horror recs? Contributor Aninda Provati has collated some essential queer movie night picks for those gearing up for autumn for you to sink your fangs into. Godzilla has maintained a constant stardom in the genre film world. But what is Godzilla really about, and how can it even relate to David Lynch’s Twin Peaks? Contributor Christopher Stewardson explores the role of Godzilla in the film Godzilla 2000: Millennium (1999) to find out what significance the iconic beast holds in Japan’s national cinema. The summer camp slasher film has become an iconic subgenre of the slasher flick since its inauguration by 1980’s Friday the 13th. Since then, the subgenre phased out in the 90’s with the reign of self aware films with contemporary discourse, pushing out the more simple (on the surface) camp thrills. New interpretations such as Hell of a Summer, Fear Street: 1978 and upcoming Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma have birthed a renewed interest in the setting - with renewed sensibilities. You can explore Evie’s deep dive into the progression of the subgenre now, through the link in our bio. At Cinema Rediscovered 2026, their 10th year, Culture founder @issycharliedennis caught many films - and reviewed them all. Consisting of unearthed, rediscovered gems to cult classics back on the big screen in new restorations, Cinema Rediscovered had it all in their programme of curated strands such as Comics Come Alive, and Rogue Hollywood. Repertory cinema has never been so exciting, and in the heart of Bristol at Watershed, Bristol Megascreen and more, it shone for 5 wonderful days. Amongst many talks, (such as 50 Years of Curzon, and curation talk Other Ways of Seeing) craft drop ins and meetups, the films, people, and atmosphere created a truly wonderful cinemagoer’s experience. Contributor Aninda Provati attended the first edition of The London Colombian Film Festival @theldncolfilmfest at the University of Westminster on 16th July. In “Breaking Barriers: Colombians in the British Film Industry” screened Latin American cult film, Carlos Mayolo’s La Mansión de Araucaima (The Mansion of Araucaima) (1986). Here, Aninda reviews the film and explores the Tropical Gothic subgenre.
