Manbar

02/03/14: …and the Oscar goes to… Manbar! GENRE, Manbar’s feature film and shorts night rocketed to stardom with the launch of its new Sunday night cinema, GENRE and the Gay London Film Club, on Oscar night, of course!

Hosted by incomparable pair Chrissy Darling and Tom Whelehan, Hollywood went Hollyweird as they presented a jam-packed pre-show of off-the-wall trivia contests, songs, prizes, surprises and the feature film, the Oscar-winning Gravity. Manbar’s main man, Chris Amos has branched out to create an exciting new night that will turn any movie into a fun-filled event.

Shown on a main floor silver screen and big screen TVs upstairs in your own cosy leather sofas, feature films are just a part of a more important offering: Gay London Film Club. “GLFC will showcase short films by gay independent filmmakers and provide a forum for filmmakers and film lovers to meet and network,” Amos said proudly peering out at the packed house of film goers of all genders and “genres”.

Chrissy and Tom kept the laughs going and the prizes flowing as audience members were treated to a barrage of jokes, bits and soundtrack songs by powerhouse vocalist, Justine Mead before, during and after the show. If that weren’t enough, Amos, Mr. Manbar himself, generously handed out free year-long GENRE memberships to lucky winners, Toby Cisneros and Chris Musangi.

“Next week is Behind The Candelabra. It’s going to be a great time!—and FREE Popcorn too!” See you at the movies!
