Celebrating its 40th year, Underground, the British subculture inspired shoe brand, is stepping out to include cultural and lifestyle events in its offering.
Underground and Rebel Reel Cine Club have teamed up to present the first in a series of film screenings. Each film selected is a subculture classic that captures a seminal event or ground-breaking moment in the underground world.
Each screening is presented at indoor and outdoor locations that capture the atmosphere of the film itself. The events are a unique opportunity to view a classic in the company of a limited audience.
“As an independent brand we recognise the importance of subculture and look to support those movements, past and present, wherever we can.” – Underground.

The first screening is Derek Jarman’s Jubilee, the 1978 cult punk film that portrayed London’s physical and moral decay, set at the time of the Queen’s 1977 Silver Jubilee. The cast includes Jordan, Toyah Wilcox, Adam Ant and Jayne County, with cameos from Siouxsie and the Banshees and The Slits.
The screening is preceded by a compilation of short films by Julie Verhoeven and a presentation of the photography from PUNK LONDON 77 – the iconic work of Derek Ridgers.
