BEAVERTOWN BREWERY MOVING TO ENFIELD
Beavertown, founded in 2011 by Logan Plant, has been given permission to build a new brewery, offices and visitor centre at Ponders End Industrial Estate.
The development will involve knocking down part of the historic Ediswan factory, which produced lightbulbs for the Edison and Swan Electric Light Company from the 1880s onwards. The building later became home to the UK’s first radio valve and television cathode ray tube factories.
Around 90 people will be employed at the site, but it is large enough to accommodate 200 workers if the business expands.
Beavertown is well known for its colourful cans and products such as Gamma Ray American Pale Ale and 8 Ball.

ALONE IN BERLIN
This is a handsomely produced and well-acted period drama set in Nazi Germany, based on a true-life case. Brendan Gleeson and Emma Thompson play Otto and Anna Quangel, a middle-aged couple living in Berlin in 1940. Hating the Nazis and galvanised by grief and rage at the loss of their son in battle, they embark on small but extremely dangerous acts of resistance: leaving anonymous anti-Hitler postcards in stairwells and public places.

ALONE IN BERLIN
This is a handsomely produced and well-acted period drama set in Nazi Germany, based on a true-life case. Brendan Gleeson and Emma Thompson play Otto and Anna Quangel, a middle-aged couple living in Berlin in 1940. Hating the Nazis and galvanised by grief and rage at the loss of their son in battle, they embark on small but extremely dangerous acts of resistance: leaving anonymous anti-Hitler postcards in stairwells and public places. Daniel Brühl plays the police inspector mapping the whereabouts of the cards to try and calculate where the culprits might live.
The film will be introduced by Kurt Barling, Professor of Journalism at Middlesex University, and will be followed by a Q&A session.

WHERE IS MRS CHRISTIE?
The story of Agatha Christie's disappearance
Agatha Christie was one of the greatest thriller writers of all time and certainly the most prolific. In 1926, she was at the centre of a mystery as perplexing as any of her fiction, a series of events which sparked one of the biggest and most extensive police hunts in history. Her crashed car was discovered in Surrey and the famous author was missing, presumed dead by many, for eleven days. However, she was eventually found at a luxury hotel in Harrogate. She claimed then, and for the rest of the life, that she was suffering from amnesia and remembered nothing. Neither the press nor the police believed her.
Actor Liz Grand (previous one-woman show ‘The Second Best Bed’) presents her new one-woman show ‘Where Is Mrs Christie?’ Did Agatha Christie lie, and if so why? Did she suffer from amnesia? Was it a publicity stunt? Or was there a darker secret involved in this disappearance which was to affect her for the rest of her life? The answer to all these questions will, as in all good thrillers, be revealed!

NOCTURNAL ANIMALS
Academy Award nominees Amy Adams and Jake Gyllenhaal star in this haunting romantic thriller from acclaimed writer/director Tom Ford. Susan (Amy Adams) is living through an unfulfilling marriage when she receives a package containing a novel manuscript from her ex-husband, Edward (Jake Gyllenhaal).

Increasingly she interprets the book as a tale of revenge, a tale that forces her to re-evaluate the choices that she has made, and reawakens a love that she feared was lost.
Nocturnal Animals is a thriller of shocking intimacy and gripping tension.

INNOVATIVE HOMES
Enfield has become the first borough in London to build 25 new council homes on top of existing blocks of flats.
The £13.1 million project on Lytchet Way saw the addition of a new storey to three blocks of flats, providing a total of 21 extra two-bed units and four one-bed units for social rent.
This enabled the council and construction firm Mullalley and Co to provide new homes at an average cost of £130,000 each – significantly lower than the £275,000 cost of an average new build in the area.
The blocks of flats were also refurbished with new doors, windows and entry phone systems, as well as environmental improvements such as rainwater gardens and upgraded play grounds. The additional homes were designed to ensure they are fully integrated with the existing blocks.

GARDEN SHED AS A HOME
A landlord in Enfield who housed a tenant in a garden shed has been ordered to pay a fine of £5,000.
The shed did not have an separate electricity supply – later discovered by neighbours receiving inflated bills – and no insulation or means to keep the tenant warm.
The landlord was given a Prohibition Order last year after inspectors found the shed in use despite being dangerous.

DIE FLEDERMAUS
Die Fledermaus is Johann Strauss II’s most famous operetta, and the whole score sparkles with high spirits. During his lifetime Strauss was known as the ‘Waltz King’ and naturally the music features several waltzes. Well-known songs include ‘The Laughing Song’, the haunting‘Czardas’and ‘The Champagne Song’.
The story tells how Dr Falke takes revenge on his friend Eisenstein for exposing him to ridicule three years before. The revenge is to take place at a sumptuous ball to which Falke has invited several unwitting guests to assist him with his plan - and some of the guests are not who they purport to be.
But of course it all ends happily with true identities revealed, past misdemeanours forgiven, and couples reunited.

NERUDA
Inventive, intelligent, and beautifully filmed, Neruda transcends the traditional biopic structure to look at the meaning beyond the details of its subject's life.
Beloved poet Pablo Neruda (Luis Gnecco) is also the most famous communist in post-WWII Chile. When the political tides shift, he is forced underground, with a perseverant police inspector (Gael García Bernal) hot on his trail. Meanwhile, in Europe, the legend of the poet hounded by the policeman grows, and artists led by Pablo Picasso clamour for Neruda’s freedom. Neruda, however, sees the struggle with his police inspector nemesis as an opportunity to reinvent himself. He cunningly plays with the inspector, leaving clues designed to make their game of cat-and-mouse ever more perilous.
In this story of a persecuted poet and his obsessive adversary, Neruda recognizes his own heroic possibilities: a chance to become a symbol for liberty, as well as a literary legend.

CLASH
This prize-winning movie about sectarian violence in Egypt teems with death and destruction and is, therefore, bang up to date. It’s a tiny movie but it feels like a big deal.
It’s 2013, and the Muslim Brotherhood’s government has just been removed. Though the film is almost entirely set within a paddy wagon, the mood is wonderfully cinematic. That’s because we can see out of the truck windows. Thanks to peerless camera-work, lighting and sound design, these outside spaces are utterly convincing (at night they’re even beautiful, marking the spot where boot camps and riots meet raves). It’s also because the characters (in terms of their personalities) make so many surprising yet plausible leaps.
Playfully conscientious, director Mohamed Diab won’t let us pick sides.

THE ENFIELD POLTERGEIST – THE REUNION
Sue MacGregor reunites the witnesses of the so called Enfield Poltergeist.
Joining Sue to discuss, and attempt to explain, what they witnessed in 1977 are former BBC Radio reporter Roz Morris, who recorded the poltergeist for The World This Weekend; Graham Morris, then of the Daily Mirror, who took a famous series of photographs of the girls levitating; and Richard Grosse who, as a newly qualified solicitor, helped his father cross-examine the Enfield poltergeist.
Poltergeist activity was first reported at the Hodgson family's three bedroom council house in August 1977. Over the next 18 months, over thirty eye witnesses saw heavy furniture moving of its own accord, objects being thrown across a room, and the daughters seeming to levitate several feet off the ground. The activity was centred on the two daughters, Janet and Margaret Hodgson, who were then 11 and 14, with Janet acting as the conduit.

Shocking pictures have revealed massive piles of waste that have been dumped near homes in north London.
Among the junk dumped in an area of scrap land near Angel Road station in Edmonton are old mattresses, worn and broken furniture, toy cars and even a bathtub.
It has been dubbed the 'river of rubbish' by furious residents, who say it has been there for more than a month.
Although Enfield Council urge residents to report instances of fly-tipping on council-owned land, the waste is yet to be cleared.
The council's website says dumped rubbish that is obstructing the street will be removed within four hours on working days - and otherwise, officials aim to clean it up within five days of receiving a report.

The Chinese-American screen goddess Anna May Wong stars as Shosho, a scullery maid in a fashionable London nightclub whose sensuous tabletop dance catches the eye of suave club owner Valentine Wilmot. She rises to become the toast of London and the object of his erotic obsession – to the bitter jealousy of Mabel, his former lover and star dancer.
‘Piccadilly, restored to its original glory, was a genuine revelation to me. It’s a bold, beautifully crafted, completely modern picture… One of the truly great films of the silent era.’ Martin Scorsese
When: Saturday 31 March @ 7.30pm.
Where: Waterhouse Hall, Winchmore Hill, N21 3NU.

DISCO AND SOUL to STORM THE STAGE The six-piece group Mojo Rising will perform this Saturday. Mojo Rising front man Lee Martin explains: “We started the band about six years ago having actually discovered one another online. It was one of those weird situations when we were all looking for a band.” “My idea for the concept was that if you went to a party, how you can have a live act that performs like a DJ. We do our own mixing and it’s about keeping the dance floor going at all times instead of stopstart. Sometimes we do 25 minutes without stopping.” Between them the singers have years’ of experience, performing in West End productions such as Fame, Grease and The Blues Brothers, with the rest of the band made up of musicians who have made appearances at the likes of Ronnie Scott’s, The 100 Club and even on BBC Radio.

SLEEPING BEAUTY Following a sell-out UK tour, Matthew Bourne’s stunning production, Sleeping Beauty, has been filmed for the big screen. The story begins in 1890, the year of the ballet’s first performance, at the christening of the heroine Princess Aurora. It was the Fin-de-Siecle period when fairies, vampires and decadent opulence fed the gothic imagination. As Aurora grows into a young woman, we move forward in time to the more rigid, uptight Edwardian era; a mythical golden age of long summer afternoons, croquet on the lawn and new dance crazes. Years later, awakening from her century long slumber, Aurora finds herself in the modern day, a world more mysterious and wonderful than any fairy story! Matthew Bourne’s Sleeping Beauty is a Gothic Romance that will delight dance fans of all ages. Talkies is a not-for-profit volunteer-led cinema, bringing communities together through film events.

TALKIES COMMUNITY CINEMA: I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO
In 1979, James Baldwin wrote a letter to his literary agent describing his next project, Remember This House. The book was to be a revolutionary, personal account of the lives and successive assassinations of three of his close friends—Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr.
At the time of Baldwin’s death in 1987, he left behind only thirty completed pages of his manuscript.
Now, in his incendiary new documentary, master filmmaker Raoul Peck envisions the book James Baldwin never finished. The result is a radical, up-to-the-minute examination of race in America, using Baldwin’s original words and flood of rich archival material. I Am Not Your Negro is a journey into black history that connects the past of the Civil Rights movement to the present of BlackLivesMatter. It is a film that questions black representation in Hollywood and beyond. And, ultimately, by confronting the deeper connections between the lives and assassination of these three leaders, Baldwin and Peck have produced a work that challenges the very definition of what America stands for.
