Next up, our Blindness in Cinema night is actually SOLD OUT! The official UK Premiere of Lou Ye's 'Blind Massage' was clearly a hot contender, and we've fully sold out the auditorium. We've also got a pre-recorded greeting from the filmmakers, and an immersive sensory activity!

And that's everything! If you're a journalist and you're keen to come, email [email protected], if you're unsure about the price - it's all FREE! If you love cinema, and you want to experience some film culture in the heart of London, come along and enjoy yourself.

Finally, our Free Will: The Future of the Cinematic Experience night takes inspiration from @charltonbrooker and @NetflixUK's Black Mirror, with a special Choose-Your-Own-Adventure programme of mysterious short films for you to dive into and explore.

@charltonbrooker what do you think of our programme plan? We'd love it to know your thoughts, or even if you could share it!

[KCL Strand Film Festival @KCLStrandFest]

Our final night is a Black Mirror-inspired Choose-Your-Own-Adventure short film programme! Taking influence from Bandersnatch, our team have stitched a number of films together to give YOU the choice of where you go, who you follow, and what ending you can get.

[KCL Strand Film Festival @KCLStrandFest]

We hope you can make it for our final night, it's sure to be an experimental exploration of the cinematic experience you WON'T forget.

We'll also be hosting a Q&A discussion from the stellar Afro-Caribbean Society, known for their campaigns for progressive change and exposing racial inequalities across King's College London - we couldn't think of anyone better to head our evening.

[KCL Strand Film Festival @KCLStrandFest]

For our Farming and the Race Relations Act night, we'll be screening @adewale's raw, honest childhood portrait of growing up in 1960s Britain. It's an emotionally complex exploration of British-Nigerian identity, and questions how far this nation has truly come.
