On Thursday 12 March, The Garden Cinema are thrilled to welcome the team from Faber to celebrate the release of Paul Fischer's The Last Kings of Hollywood. The writer himself will join us to discuss his definitive account of one of the wildest and most influential periods of Hollywood history, starring the three most famous directors of all time (Francis Ford Coppola, George Lucas, and Steven Spielberg) and their tumultuous friendships.
Following the talk, you'll have the chance to test your knowledge on these iconic filmmakers with a quiz hosted by critic and culture writer Barry Pierce (The Sunday Times, the Big Issue, i-D, GQ and British Vogue) - with some splendid prizes up for grabs! Of course there will also be the opportunity to purchase the book and have it signed by Paul.
Event timings:
19:30 Doors open
19:45 Book talk with writer Paul Fischer
20:10 Break for drinks
20:30 Quiz
21:30 Pop-up book shop & book signing
Tickets for the event are just £5 each, and include a complimentary glass of house wine, a beer, or a soft drink. They're restricted to 2 per member, so you can bring a guest along even if they're not a member, to join your quiz team.
Important info before booking:
We have space for up to 10 teams of max. 5 attendees each, so you can either attend with a group, as a duo (in which case your team may be merged with another team), or attend solo (in which case you'll be placed on an All Stars team with other members attending by themselves). Please follow the instructions below to make sure you get placed on the correct team:
- If you would like to be placed on a team with friends, you can either:
- Purchase your tickets individually (up to 2 per active membership) and leave the names of your teammates during the checkout process, so we can place you on the same team
OR
- Purchase tickets for the entire team, and assign each ticket to the invididual member or member's +1 (you will need to know the surname as well as the email address their membership is registered under, to do this)
- If you would like to join as a duo, you can purchase two tickets (just 1 active membership will be required for this) and we will merge you with another duo to make up a team
- If you're joining by yourself, you can simply purchase 1 ticket and we will then place you on an All Stars team - a great opportunity to meet fellow members!
