The Moon and The Sledgehammer
OffBeat is back! On the 13th of January 2025 we will be seeing in the new year with a screening of the incredible 1971 cult documentary The Moon and the Sledgehammer directed by Philip Trevelyan. The film shows the eccentric lives of the Page family who lived a completely isolated existence in the middle of a wood in Swanbrook in Sussex. Mr Page and his adult children Jim, Pete, Nancy and Kath, lived completely off grid and found employment by fixing mechanical things as odd jobs. We're gonna be back at The Walthamstow Trades Hall in our usual Monday Night slot with, as usual, badges, cheap pizza, cheap beer and amazing films including a curated selection from British Pathé's archive. We're starting the New Year in style so make sure you come along!
Doors open at 7:00pm, films start at 8:00pm
