Dukefest 2026: Evrim Mystery Show/The Marion Stokes VHS Archive Part 2 - FREE

Dukefest 2026: Evrim Mystery Show/The Marion Stokes VHS Archive Part 2 - FREE

Tue, Aug 4, 6:00 PM
From London Alt Gigs and Cult Cinema
4.8

Dukefest is the annual extravaganza put on by the cult and obscure footage-focused Duke Mitchell Film Club. This is night three, where part of the night is curated by Evrim(?) and the other part is made up of bits taken from the VHS recordings of Marion Stokes, who apparently spent more than three decades recording American TV 24/7. And it's all free! I have no idea what to expect but I'm expecting it to be weird. Details available [here](https://thedukemitchell.uk/events/dukefest-2026/#day3). I don't know how long it'll be but it kicks off at half seven, half an hour after doors open. I'll be getting there at 7pm to grab a seat and I recommend you do too.

Late at the Tate: July is Frida Kahlo month

Late at the Tate: July is Frida Kahlo month

Fri, Jul 31, 6:00 PM
From London Alt Gigs and Cult Cinema
4.8

Summer's here and the time is right for Late at the Tate! I've been meaning to do one of these for a while, and they're always better in the summer, when bars open up outside the gallery and people can decide whether they want to hang out on the grass, see some art or make the most of the live DJing. Details for this month's event, based thematically around the new Frida Kahlo exhibition, are [here](https://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-modern/tate-modern-lates). I've said 7pm for this and I'll organise a meeting place on the night, but try and make it by half seven if you can. I don't want this to be one of the events where we're chasing after people the whole time (which is why we don't do festivals anymore on here!)
