Knights Electric (1980) – best viewed in HD

Catalogued by the British Film Institute as an iconic memoir of the 1980s, this short theatrical film (35mm Anamorphic/Dolby Stereo) is regarded as a forerunner of the Music Video. Considered by many cinema audiences as more entertaining than the features it played with, the story involves “Four punk lads making a sortie into an amusement park where they antagonise other customers and come upon a group of teenage girls. However, they are consistently thwarted by the apparition of four spectral youths (the ’Knights Electric’) who ultimately squire the girls away. Told with a remarkable fluency and gusto.” BFI Newsletter, August 1981 The ever-popular Knights Electric soundtrack includes pieces by Blondie, John Foxx, Madness, Gary Numan, The Pretenders and many more.
