Join us for a special screening of Melt It! The Film of the Iceman, including a Q&A with director Mark Cartwright, hosted by the brilliant Phill Jupitus: www.dca.org.uk/events/Bln-melt-it-the-film-of-the-iceman-qa

The film explores the weird world of comedian and cabaret performer Anthony Irvine, who found cult stardom in the 1980s and 90s with an unusual act – melting a block of ice on stage. Among his fans were Mike Myers, Stewart Lee and Bill Bailey.

Marilyn Monroe's final film returns to the big screen this June in a new 4K restoration, marking the centenary of her birth. 🎬

Written by Arthur Miller and directed by John Huston, this melancholic take on the western is a touching, offbeat drama of broken-hearted cowboys and broken-down marriages, co-starring Clark Gable and Montgomery Clift. Monroe gives one of her very finest performances — a bittersweet farewell to a vanishing west. 🌅
