How can one rock band be successful, underrated, hugely influential, and criminally overlooked all at the same time?
Take a musical odyssey through five weird and wonderful decades with brothers Ron & Russell Mael, celebrating the inspiring legacy of Sparks: your favourite band's favourite band.
This screening is followed by a live satellite Q+A with Edgar Wright and Ron & Russell Mael of Sparks, broadcast from Sundance Film Festival: London 2021.

From 17 May (and unless guidance changes) six people or two households of any size can visit together as a group. Until guidance changes, we’ve created socially-distanced seating clusters. Please only sit directly beside someone from your household or support bubble, and avoid moving seats when you arrive, so we can keep a safe distance between you and other groups.
