This screening continues our Cult Cinema Weekender - a celebration of strange and wonderful supernatural films as part of Hastings's Jack in the Green mayday celebrations!

Made for Play for Today and rarely seen on the big screen, this TV gem is a must-see for anyone seriously interested in England's pagan past.  Penda's Fen is a multi-layered reading of contemporary society and its personal, social, sexual, psychic and metaphysical fault lines. All of this comes together in the growing pains of the adolescent Stephen, a vicar's son, who starts to encounter strange apparitions...

Hosted and Curated by Katie Spooner from Strange Frames, our film club that celebrates the offbeat, grotesque and arcane.
