Sweet November
By Afro (follow her on Twitter: @graphiclondoner)
With Halloween just over and Bonfire Night coming up, this month is off to a great start! Days are getting shorter but we have the perfect way to overcome S.A.D and ditch that Sainsbury’s meal in front of the TV: a cool film for each day.
November is packed with a lot of interesting film events. I may be a bit biased here (being Greek and all) but one of my favourite entries for this month is Hellenic Centre’s celebrations for its 20th year anniversary. They will show the internationally acclaimed period drama ‘Little England’ and the feel-good comedy ‘Papadopoulos & Sons’ filmed here in London.
Papadopoulos & Sons – The Film
As per the usual, click on the titles for more information on venues and times. Most of the films have a free entrance (check brackets when it’s not the case) but for some of them you will need to book your place in advance so hurry up!
