London On The Cheap: 5 Days Of Free Flicks Edition

Following the Oscars this weekend there are free film screenings all over town this week. Edify thyself and make new friends running across 5 different genres of movie for no expenditure whatsoever.

Monday: The Duke Mitchell Film Club is holding heist night at the Cross Kings Bar on York Way with a long lost Italian heist movie "Seven Golden Men". The film starts at 8pm but there's also a "trailer trash" collection of vintage trailers being shown as well as music in between.

Tuesday: Dip a toe into the more thoughtful end of film with Club Filmosophy: revealing the thinking behind great filmmaking". Turn up at the Roxy on Borough High St for around 7.30pm for tonight's film Red Squirrel and expert led free-flowing discussion after.

Wednesday: Tonight, it's classic sci-fi at the Camden Arts Centre with Tron at 7pm. Take a look at Thomas Scheibitz' exhibition while you're there. He chose the film. Thursday: You've had heists, noir and sci-fi so catch an epic documentary this evening at the RSA on John Adam Street (off Strand). True Stories: Lake of Fire probes the abortion question from both sides. The documentary maker will be in conversation with the top dog at More4 after the screening. Friday: Combine free film watching with industrious crafts and get along to I Knit London Film Night for the irritatingly spelt Will Smith movie The Pursuit of Happyness. Turn up at the shop on Bonnington Square, Vauxhall early to get a space on their sofa. Film starts at 7pm. Or, you could stay in and scour the listings for rubbish films on telly.
