Screening of ?Head' starring The Monkees

HEAD  (Bob Rafelson 1968)

A complete box office flop on its original release in November 1968, the one movie made by The Monkees has since then developed into a Cult Classic. Head, directed by Bob Rafelson and co-scripted by Jack Nicholson, is a dazzling, witty and surreal trip through celebrity, psychedelia and the counterculture. Loaded with startling ideas, visual non sequiturs and great music, Head delivered  a challenge to the idea of what a pop film could look and sound like. It also allowed The Monkees to willfully pull the rug out from under their own fame. 

Often startling, sometimes horrifying, always changing, Head is a feast for the ears, the eyes and the mind. 

The film will be introduced by Dr Peter Mills of Leeds Beckett University , author of The Monkees, Head and the 60s, a book praised by Bob Rafelson, Jack Nicholson and Monkee Michael Nesmith.
