The film mixes costumed dramas, gritty urban thrillers, fantasy scenarios and love stories set to great opera arias, and once baffled critics who dismissed it as \"MTV does opera\" despite its avant garde directors.

Ambrosio’s film is described as a musical haunting and contemporary fairytale about a specific place poised between appearance and disappearance, seeking new forms of sanctuary and belonging; The Parlour Collective are artists working with site-responsive performance and film, exploring the psychological and somatic experience of landscape. Despins’s dark yet tender 1976 British experimental musical, scored by Galt MacDermont, explores the problems facing the multicultural residents of a Notting Hill boarding house destined for demolition.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/london/events/raft-the-parlour-collective-the-moon-over-the-alley-39366/", "official_url": "https://www.thehorsehospital.com/events/raftparlourmoon", "image": "https://noky.io/images/9083b82df6e14dd0f8bdaaa6996611a9b4d27dd5850e925237bea3a84bb36982-2000.webp"}, {"title": "Rerun: Mystery LGBTQ+ Horror Preview", "start": "2026-11-01T16:00:00Z", "end": null, "place": "The Arzner", "address": "Bermondsey Square 10, SE1 3UN London", "price": "", "price_from": "5.00", "price_to": "5.00", "tickets_url": "https://thearzner.com/TheArzner.dll/WhatsOn?f=361479", "category": "film", "tags": ["film/horror", "occasion/halloween"], "description": "A rerun screening of a mystery horror film, shown as a preview as part of the cinema's Halloween Week.
