(Ali Catterall and Jane Giles, 2023, United Kingdom, 97 minutes)

The Scala Cinema emerged in a post-punk 1980s London as one of the most storied and influential repertory houses on the planet, the type of which that went on to influence programming and culture at virtually all other rep houses, whether they were conscious of this fact or not. In Ali Catterall and Jane Giles’s new documentary, Scala!!!, we celebrate the movies they screened, the names they promoted, and arguably the liveliest exhibition culture this side of New York City’s grindhouses of the 1970s. Featuring interviews from 50+ Scala friends and alums, clips of 100+ movies, and an original soundtrack by Barry Adamson, former bassist of Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds.
