Cinema Mentiré, a film club showcasing the best Latin American cinema in the UK, turns one and wants to celebrate with you! Join us for an electrifying summer evening of film, dance and drinks at South London's funniest of venues, SET Social.

PURE BLOOD | PURA SANGRE (dir. Luis Ospina, 1982, 98min.) is a biting satire on vampirism at the heart of capitalism in Colombia, made in the guise of a B-movie and mixing references that go from Citizen Kane to Murnau, George Romero, Howard Hughes, Dracula, and local urban legends. Horror, exploitation, and comedy are blended in this portrait of an old and bedridden sugar tycoon stricken by a rare disease that requires him to undergo an increasing number of blood transfusions, which will be obtained through aberrant stratagems. Released in the 1980s, its (then) commercial failure would give ground to a Latin American cult, whose restored copy in 2K is being shown in the UK for the first time!

The evening will follow with DJ Benzo, who will make us rumbear with a special birthday selection of Brazilian funk and more!

Doors open at 6pm, the film starts at 7pm, and the party goes until 11pm.
