Coming next month, and marking the 130th anniversary of Regent Street Cinema, where both British cinema and Pink Floyd were 'born' (the cinema sits with the University of Westminster building, which used to be the Regent Street Polytechnic, and has the Pink Floyd plaque on the wall outside), the Yet Another Movie: Pink Floyd in Film season brings together a selection of films featuring the band's music either as a band or as solo artists, along with related work by key collaborators and coterie. The season is curated by film critic and programmer Sophia Satchell-Baeza.

The festival starts with a double bill on Saturday, May 23rd at 1:30pm. John Latham's Speak from 1962 was a favourite of the band, and they'd project it whilst playing at UFO, and created a soundtrack for it (although the film itself DOESN'T feature this) which is coupled with 1968's The Committee. Those who have seen this will know it is a weird, surreal tale about a hitchhiker, a murder, and Manfred Mann's Paul Jones trying to make sense of it all.

Following on from that, at 4:15pm on May 23rd, is a double bill of Tonite Let's All Make Love In London, Peter Whitehead's 1967 documentary on Swinging London features a host of actors, writers, musicians, and other contemporaries, among them Pink Floyd performing at UFO Club. Paired with this recently restored feature is Anthony Stern's Iggy the Eskimo Girl, a short starring model Evelyn 'Iggy' Rose. Rose was Syd Barrett's girlfriend and appeared on the cover of his debut solo LP, The Madcap Laughs. The screening is introduced by scholars and co-curators of the Peter Whitehead Archive, Dr Steve Chibnall and Dr Alissa Clarke. The Peter Whitehead Archive at De Montfort University, Leicester, will hold a small exhibition of Pink Floyd-related items from the archive in the cinema foyer.

The final double bill on May 23rd, at 7:30pm, is 1968's San Francisco, a short which features an early Interstellar Overdrive whilst the visuals showcase the US counterculture capital in those days. This is followed by Michelangelo Antonioni's 1970 classic Zabriskie Point, which features a number of Floyd songs created for the film. The screening is introduced by series curator Sophia Satchell-Baeza.

On Sunday, May 24th at 3:45pm, the double bill is of 1969's Psychedelia: Another Day At The Office, a rare film which includes a brief bit of Syd Barrett amongst others shown face-only, which the Velvet Underground can be heard in the background. This is coupled with Barbet Schroeder's More from the same year, which explores heroin addiction on the island of Ibiza set to a specially written soundtrack by the Floyd.

Finally on May 24th, at 7pm, is the UK premiere of the new 4K restoration of Crystal Voyager, the film about surfing which includes a long sequence amidst the waves set to the Floyd's Echoes. They permitted the use in the film in exchange for them being allowed to use the footage in concert on the circular screen.

After a short gap, the festival resumes on Saturday, June 6th at 4:30pm, with Gunnera, a short erotic film from 1969 which uses Ummagumma as its soundtrack, paired with the documentary film The Body. This 1970 film uses the talents of Ron Geesin, who ropes in Roger Waters to assist, and the soundtrack even includes an uncredited whole band performance from Pink Floyd. This was obviously around the time that Atom Heart Mother also saw a collaboration between Geesin and the Floyd.

Those are followed at 7:30pm on June 6th by the 1972 Barbet Schroeder film The Valley (La Vallée or Obscured By Clouds) which again features the band's specially created soundtrack. The screening of The Valley is preceded by an exclusive filmed interview with Nick Mason, introducing the movie.

For the final day, things begin with, on Sunday, June 7th at 4:45pm the incredible and sobering animation When The Wind Blows, with a Roger Waters, David Bowie, Squeeze and Hugh Cornwell soundtrack is shown. This focuses on the effect a nuclear strike on London has on a sweet old couple, who try to make the best of the situation.

The festival concludes on June 7th at 7pm with a screening of Pink Floyd The Wall. We presume you don't need any description of this one!
