London psycho-geographical writer Iain Sinclair celebrates his 70th birthday year with the showing of 70 films he handpicked that relate to his work. Hackney Picturehouse is delighted to present the inaugural event of the series with a screening of “The Sorcerers“, Michael Reeves’ 1967 Boris Karloff science fiction/horror classic, followed by a rare cinema screening of the first of Iain & Chris Petit‘s made for TV trilogy – 1992’s “The Cardinal & The Corpse“. “The Cardinal & The Corpse” features a cavalcade of the ‘reforgotten’ including footage of Alan Moore, Michael Moorcock & Robin Cook (aka Derek Raymond) and east end poet/writer/activist Emanuel Litvinoff.
Iain Sinclair, Alan Moore & Chris Petit will be on hand to read sections of their work and discuss the films.

Is there an official reason why Cardinal, Falconer and Asylum remain completely unavailable in any format?
