Scala!!!

Jane Giles and Ali Catterall co-direct this documentary which charts the rise and fall of the Scala repertory art house cinema.

Between 1981 and 1993 it welcomed everyone including misfits and outcasts and it championed bold, progressive and LGBTQ+ content.

Its legendary all-night screenings were a haven for many in 1980s Thatcherite London but its 1992 screening of 'A Clockwork Orange' (1971) almost 20 years after Stanley Kubrick had withdrawn it from UK distibution in 1974 lead to a lawsuit on behalf of Warner Brothers which ultimately forced its closure.
