Secret Cinema , London - If.... Lindsay Anderson
To all Secret Crusaders,
Secret Cinema returned to higher education at Dulwich College in London and Clifton College in Bristol with Lindsay Anderson's powerful and inspirational 'If....'.
'If....' was filmed against the backdrop of the 1968 Student Riots in Paris, and has been celebrated as one of the greatest British films of all time.
The film won the Palme d'Or in 1969. 39 years later, another film set in a school won the Palme d'Or - 'Entre les murs'.
Click here for the 1968 Times article on 'If...'.
Travis, Wallace and Johnny played truant at West Dulwich Station and Bristol Zoo car park while the whips were out in force leading the 'new boys' to college for assembly. Over 1000 new boys enjoyed sweets from College Journal Metro and fizzy pop from Suso, wearing college house uniforms provided by Moss Bros.
New boys were greeted by the headmaster and were checked by the school matrons before being led to assembly where all stood to sing the hymn 'The Day of Resurrection' and watch an informative short film about war by Grant Orchard.
Secret Cinema thanks its partners for 'If....'

Awesome!! The much sought after R2D2 Projector is now available for purchase in the UK
R2D2 lets you use DVD’s and CD’s with his own integrated player. Connect external devices though the video and audio ports, project photos and videos directly from memory cards (SD, MMC, Memory Stick and
Smart Media), USB flash drives and with the integrated iPod dock, even your iPod photos or videos. The iPod docking station can be found in a hidden compartment on the front of Artoo’s body and is compatible with 3rd generation iPod’s and higher.Stereo and surround sound can be enjoyed through the integrated 20W speakers.
Artoo is fully motorized and his remote control is a scaled replica of the Millennium Falcon. You can move him in any direction, rotate his head unit and even tilt his legs backwards, to make ceiling projection possible.
The remote lets you control all of R2D2’s movements as well as video and audio functions, and gives you full control over your iPod’s menu, which can also be projected.
Artoo has a series of built in sophisticated sensors. The first of these is the surface sensor, used firstly to stop R2D2 from going over the edge of a surface, such as a staircase. The second are leg sensors, located on the body near the legs, and are to prevent anything getting caught during leg movement. The third is the projection sensor, ensuring that Artoo is at least 1.5m from the object wall before projecting.
R2 can currently be purchased for £1,899.99 over at Red5

The Clock Tower is the world's largest four-faced, chiming clock. The structure is situated at the north-eastern end of the Houses of Parliament in Westminster, London.
