Brunel on film screening

If you are passionate about films then you should know Brunel has a film society aiming to give students, the chance to watch and discuss movies together in a friendly and welcoming environment.

Throughout Freshers' Week we have been showcasing some of the most popular SF movies. We were lucky to have a beautiful weather still very much present, and it was well worth spending as much as time as possible outside Lecture Centre in the quad. Watching a SF on the giant screen, with some salt & sweet popcorn, a blanket, some friends it is a perfect way to spend the evening on campus.

A Clockwork Orange- Set in a dismal dystopian England, it is the first-person account of a juvenile delinquent who undergoes state-sponsored psychological rehabilitation for his aberrant behaviour. We are proud to have filmed the movie in the Lecture centre and John Crank building prior to its demolition used at the location for the ‘Ludovico reception’ in Kubrick’s film-famous brutalist building. Released in 1971 the film starred Malcolm McDowell as sociopath Alex, with the university's famous lecture centre featuring as the heart of the government hospital where the infamous Ludovico technique is administered.
