Things to do in London this weekend, from a new Sophie Podolski show to Trooping the Colour

Another weekend in the capital and there’s plenty to do and see. It’s a good one for art lovers and there’s a new podcast for true crime fans. Don’t miss the King’s birthday

Here’s everything you could do in London this weekend.

Until June 15, bfi.org.uk

This year’s Film on Film festival might become historic in years to come. For the first time in more than two decades, there will be a screening of Star Wars in its original dye-transfer version. And to celebrate the 35th anniversary of Twin Peaks, the auteur David Lynch’s cult classic, a pristine 35mm print of the US pilot will be shown for the first time ever in the UK, followed by a Q&A with star Kyle MacLachlan. Until June 15

Until August 24, goldsmithscca.art

Wisdom Should be Sung is the first solo exhibition of work by Sophie Podolski in the UK, showcasing drawings, etchings, collages and texts from her “phantasmagoric imaginary”. The poet, writer and artist offers a tremendous body of work, remarkable for its volume — it consists of more than 300 drawings, graphic poems and a novel, all produced in a tragically short space of time.

From June 14, mamadacosta.com

One of London’s hottest chefs, Ana Da Costa, is taking over the kitchen at Mambow, bringing her Macanese dishes to the much-loved Clapton restaurant. Macanese is an ethnic group of people originating in Macau, China, primarily of Portuguese and Chinese descent. The region has its own cuisine and Da Costa is its greatest advocate in Britain: go for her galinha a Africana, porco balichao tamarindo and pandan crack pie.

The comedy drama returns, charting the life of teenager Ginny Miller and her young mother, Georgia, just 15 years her senior. In the first seasons, the pair moved to a new town in search of a fresh start, Georgia’s troubled past an everpresent shadow. The show circles themes of motherhood, trauma, identity and relationships, as the pair navigate a society in which they don’t seem to belong.

Out June 12 nationwide

Say hello to a new (unique?) movie genre: “Scottish samurai spaghetti Western”. It’s actually not surprising coming from polymath director John Maclean (founding member of The Beta Band) whose only previous film was cowboy oddity Slow West. Here highwaymen Sugarman (Tim Roth) and Little Sugar (Jack Lowden) are after their haul of gold. Tornado (Japanese model Kōki), daughter of a samurai turned travelling puppeteer, may well have pinched it off them… Strange? Yes. It’s beguiling, gripping and beautiful too.

Out now

A collaboration by Bill Clinton and thriller writer James Patterson. The latter seems to do the writing, with Clinton providing the plausible backdrop for a murder mystery in which the chief suspect is… the First Gentleman himself. In this scenario, the US has a female president — on the cover looking weirdly like Kamala Harris — and her husband is a former sports star accused of murdering his ex-girlfriend. Formulaic thriller writing, but an interesting double act.

Out now

Our powerful true-crime podcast, which reached number two in the Apple podcast chart and is Wondery’s third most successful global show ever, is now free for all listeners. The six-part series, hosted by London Standard journalist Katie Strick, explores the extraordinary killing of socialite Alex Morgan by the aristocrat Bennet von Vertes, and his mother’s fight for justice. Just search (In)Justice: Killer Privilege wherever you get your podcasts.

In St James’s on June 14

It’s the King’s official birthday on Saturday and the annual Trooping the Colour ceremony. The parade begins at Buckingham Palace before moving down the Mall to Horse Guards Parade, with the royal family on horseback and in carriages. The event will also bring an RAF flypast, and while it will be shown on the BBC, it’s better in real life. We recommend swinging by the Red Lion pub after the festivities (10.30am start) where there is excellent Kronenbourg waiting, and good ham sandwiches.

July 25 to 27 at the London Stadium, wingfest.co.uk

Heralded as the world’s largest celebration of chicken wings, Wing Fest returns next month with more than 45 food traders. Last year, half a million wings — from BBQ to Korean fried — were served as chefs competed for top spot. Revellers have been known to get through more than 100 servings in a day (slightly unhinged, perhaps, but there we are), while those who have finished eating can enjoy live music, theme park rides, axe throwing and cocktails. Early bird entry (get it?) starts at £35.
