The Great Gatsby at Loco Klub

DOORS: 18:45 | FILM STARTS 19:30

BFF are excited to be returning to the Loco Klub for Spring 2023 this after a successful debut event in November. This stunning events space beneath Temple Meads will play host to a hidden, subterranean cinema experience as it's turned into a speakeasy-style pop-up cinema, showing two great films set in the Jazz-soaked era of the Roaring Twenties. Come to the private bar and enjoy live performers pre-film, then the curtain will be drawn back and you’ll be ushered deeper still into the tunnels for the main show…

BFF's second film at the Loco Klub this March is Baz Luhrmann’s opulent, Oscar-winning version of The Great Gatsby. Full of the grandiose spectacle you’d expect from both the director and an adaptation of this seminal novella, its emotional roots lie within Leonardo DiCaprio’s sublime performance as the eponymous, enigmatic man behind the parties. Join us for the party, old sport!
