Sorting out your agenda for October!
By Afro (follow her on Twitter: @foustoon)
I always find myself very busy in October, and just looking over this list has made me realise that October is a great month for London. There’s so much stuff going on, and one of the coolest things you can do in London is grab a ticket for a free screening! If you’ve recently met someone new, don’t forget that a movie night is one of the best dates EVER!
From Black History Month 2014 and films for social awareness to a unique festival in Elephant and Castle celebrating this awesome area of South London, this month really has it all. Add to that Pulp’s documentary screening and a Ryan Gosling marathon (yes, you heard me right!)- is it me or is our calendar suddenly full?
P.S.- Like always, click on the titles for more information on venues and times. Most of the films are free entry (check brackets for when that’s not the case) but for some of them you will need to book your place in advance so hurry up!
