Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.More and more Britons, we learn from a report published this week, are watching films on the small screen. But, to buck the trend, a short season offers the chance to see movies in all their 70mm glory on the biggest screen in Britain. At the Odeon Marble Arch for three weeks from next Friday, they include rarely seen gems like Ken Russell's flamboyant sci-fi pic Altered States, Lawrence Kasdan's comedy western Silverado with Kevin Kline (watch out, too, for an early appearance by hearthrob-in-waiting Kevin Costner) and Philip Kaufman's intriguing tribute to the Apollo astronauts The Right Stuff (pictured right).
We have five pairs of tickets to each of the 10 films in the season. To apply, name (1) the pilot played by Sam Shepard in The Right Stuff, (2) the British comedy actor who plays a cameo in Silverado, (3) the star of Altered States. Answers, by 5 June to: 70mm competition, Listings, The Independent, 40 City Rd, London EC1Y 2DB. Please include a daytime phone number and your three preferred films. The full programme is: Aliens, Altered States, Blue Thunder, Brainstorm, Die Hard, Edward Scissorhands, Heaven's Gate, The Right Stuff, Silverado and Willow.
