Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror was the winner of the “Art of Storytelling” category at Doc Edge Awards 2025.
From humble origins as a London fringe theatre play to its meteoric rise, fall and resurrection as the biggest cult film of all time, this is the definitive story of the Rocky Horror Show. With intimate access to its creator Richard O’Brien and other major players such as Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, and Lou Adler, the film explores what makes the play and film so singular.
Its groundbreaking and transgressive themes, iconic performances and epic songs took over popular culture. The cult phenomenon that sprung around it is unparalleled, and created not only the midnight screenings which continue to this day, but also a safe haven for those who ever felt different or marginalised.
** SCREENING UPDATE: The Sat 28 Jun, 7.30pm session at the Bridgeway Cinema originally scheduled has been cancelled. It is now replaced with another film, GAZA. This is not reflected in the programme booklet. We apologise for the incovenience **
