There are so many ways to celebrate Xmas, but have you ever done it Russian style: dancing to a vintage gramophone DJ set, holding an elegant yet mysterious vodka cocktail in your hand and feasting your eyes and pallet on a bountiful buffet? Now you can!
As KinoVino Christmas at Pushkin House is sold out, we are adding an extra event to celebrate the festive season with our special guest, a Moscow-based gramophone DJ and performer, Anton Borisovich! Join us at Green Lens Studios for a vintage party: antique gramophone performance, projection of silent pre-Revolutionary era films, vintage cocktails and a buffet style reception! Feel free to envelop yourself in some vintage apparel, to eat, drink and dance the night away!
7pm-9pm

Join Joey O’Hare (Hare on the Hill) and Alissa Timoshkina (Kino Vino) for a 4 course vegcentric supper club celebrating the bounty of the summer. Joey and Alissa are preparing a sharing feast full of seasonal salads, bold flavours and cultured foods whilst Our/London Vodka will be expertly pairing the dinner with cocktails (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) using fermented and preserved ingredients.
Following her appearance on Masterchef the Professionals, Joey O’Hare launched a vegcentric supper club, Hare on the Hill. Her food is seasonal, vegetable focussed and incorporates plenty of cultured food for the complexity of flavour they bring to the party – Joey believes this to be the key to exciting vegcentric cooking. Her menus are directly influenced by weekly shops to the local farmer’s market in Herne Hill.
Conceived by film curator and avid cook, Alissa, KinoVino marries best of world cinema with some of the most innovative menus inspired by the films and brought to life by London’s leading chefs. Alissa is also a cook herself, with a passion for fermented foods and vegetarian cooking, as well as food from her native Siberia, Russia.
KinoVino is joining forces with Kino Klassika Foundation at an extraordinary screening of Bernardo Bertolucci’s legendary epic, 1900 (Novecento). This Easter Saturday extravaganza will see Kino Klassika screen a pristine Italian language print of the original 5 hour and 20 minute version of 1900 (Novecento) with English subtitles. Boasting stellar performances from Gerard Depardieu, Robert de Niro and Donald Sutherland, the screening is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see Bertolucci’s masterpiece on the big screen. It will be complimented by KinoVino treating cinephiles to a rustic Italian buffet and wine reception in the cinema bar during the hour-long interval between parts 1 and 2. A specially-designed menu will feature prosciutto, peach and honey crostini; sundried tomatoes hummus with crudités; artichokes, pancetta, peas and mint salad; and a selection of fine Italian wines. Original room and table decor will heighten the event’s revolutionary theme.

Oma and Bella (Alexa Karolinski, 2012) is a deeply touching and endearing documentary about a life-long friendship between two elderly Jewish women. While rooted in the tragic history of the Holocaust, the film is an ode to their resilience, survival and joie de vivre. It is a celebration of friendship, tradition and above all of Jewish food. It is through the food which Oma and Bella prepare together that they remember their childhood, maintain a bond to each other and explore questions of memory, heritage and cultural identity. They drink vodka, sing Yiddish songs and dress up to go out with their friends. Oma and Bella will evoke your unconditional affection and admiration from the very first scene!

A screening of a legendary Soviet film Commissar (1967, Aleksander Askoldov). Based on a renowned short story by Soviet-Jewish writer Vassily Grossman, the film tells a story of a Red Army commissar who temporary lodges with a poor Jewish family to give birth in the midst of the Russian Civil War. Filmed with a unique poetic vision, the film was banned upon its completion and not shown until 1988. This work is a truly unique gem of world cinema. Don’t miss this rare chance to see it.
