The legendary ICA club night returns with quiet music, films, loud music & dancing. Includes a rare screening of The Savage Eye.
A revival of **Little Stabs at Happiness**, the legendary music and film
club presented by **Mark Webber** at the ICA from 1997 to 2000. Early
evening experimental films and contemporary music will be followed
by a rare screening of ***The Savage Eye***, all shown on 16mm film, just
the way it should be. When the credits roll, the volume rises, as

wave big beats and smash hits of yesteryear.
