South London Jazz Orchestra charity event for Doctors of the World Thursday May 18th @ 7pm Doctors of the World is an independent humanitarian movement working at home and abroad to empower excluded people to access healthcare. Through 400 programmes in 80 countries run by more than 3,000 volunteers they provide medical care, strengthen health systems and address underlying barriers to healthcare. The South London Jazz Orchestra presents two live jazz nights to raise money for their vital work. At the first event (18 May) there will be a short performance from the orchestra, a screening of the film Pete Kellys Blues (1955), and a discussion about Hollywood. The second event (20 May) will include a longer performance from the orchestra, comedy from Sion James (Clapham Comedy Club) and guests, and a Q&A session with a Doctors of the World volunteer about the frontlines of the refugee crisis. Last year’s event was a sell-out! Please book early to avoid disappointment.  Tickets are £6.41 to £22.07 and are available from Eventbrite.  Limited earlybird tickets for both nights are available. Buy Now Kennington Talkies presents; Midnight Mary (1933) Sunday 25th June @ 2:30pm Midnight Mary is a 1933 American Pre-Code film directed by William A. Wellman that reveals in flashbacks the hard life of a woman on trial for murder. Penniless and with a checkered past, Mary (Loretta Young) falls in with the crooked Leo (Ricardo Cortez), who uses the unwitting young woman as a pawn in his crimes. Lovestruck lawyer Tom (Franchot Tone) helps Mary go straight, but a jealous Leo comes after the attorney in a murderous rage. Mary, in order to save Tom, is forced to gun down Leo. She is then put on trial, but, afraid of mixing Tom up in the sordid case, she refuses to mention his involvement, which could seal her fate. Tickets are £6 and can be purchased from Billetto, or direct from the Museum by calling 020 7840 2200 during office hours. Kennington Talkies presents; Woman of The Year (1942) Sunday 2nd July @ 2:30pm Woman of the Year (1942) is an American romantic comedy-drama film starring Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn, written by Ring Lardner, Jr., Michael Kanin and John Lee Mahin, directed by George Stevens and produced by Joseph L. Mankiewicz. Tess Harding (Hepburn) is a progressively-minded political journalist. Sam Craig (Tracy) is a sports writer with very traditional values. The only thing the two have in common is that they both work for the same New York City newspaper. Despite an initial and mutual dislike, the two eventually fall in love and get married. When Tess wins the Woman of the Year award, traditional gender roles become flipped and their relationship suffers as a result.
