OVER at the Prince Charles on Tuesday, owner Ben Freedman is putting Mayor Ken Livingstone on the spot after a screening of eco-warrior Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth.
As part of the Friends of the Earth’s Big Ask campaign, viewers will have a chance to quiz Ken about what he’s doing to tackle climate change. “I’ve been worried that the government isn’t doing enough about climate change,”
Freedman says. “Now I’ve got the chance to use my cinema to do something about it.”

THERE’S a mini-festival of femininity at the Curzon Soho and Renoir cinemas from Sunday with a season celebrating punk feminist film-makers like Lizzie Borden and Vivienne Dick.
Among the highlights: Dykesploitation – Trash we love to keep – with a homage to American actress and cult lesbian icon Kristy McNichol. For more details visit www.clubdesfemmes.blogspot.com.
