Between 1962-1966, Nick Mason, Roger Waters and Richard Wright studied architecture at the Regent Street Polytechnic, where they formed the rock group Pink Floyd. To mark the 130th anniversary of Regent Street Cinema, where both British cinema and Pink Floyd were ‘born’, this season brings together a selection of films featuring Pink Floyd’s music—either as a band or as solo artists—alongside work by several key collaborators and members of their coterie. The Yet Another Movie: Pink Floyd in Film festival is curated by film critic and programmer Sophia Satchell-Baeza.

“There are few British rock groups more entwined with the moving image than Pink Floyd. From their rise through the 1960s London counterculture, performing in multiple-projection environments and pioneering music promos, through to their original film scores for directors including Michelangelo Antonioni, Barbet Schroeder and Peter Sykes, the band’s story is one of how rock briefly became inextricable from counterculture – both in film and beyond it. Some of the films, like Antonioni’s Zabriskie Point (1970), are bona fide classics, while others, like David Elfick’s surfing documentary Crystal Voyager (1973), have resurfaced as cult artefacts. It turns out the band’s connection to cinema was there from the beginning”, said Sophia in Sight & Sound.

The mini festival runs over two weekends from Saturday 23rd May to Sunday 7th June and includes an exclusive new interview with Nick Mason where he talks specifically about this important period of the band’s development regarding film scoring. Here’s a sneak peek of the interview with Nick, which precedes the screening of 1972’s The Valley on Saturday, 6th June:
