A Romeo & Juliet story told backwards and without a single word. Juliet wakes beside Romeo’s body, and the film pulls them back through everything that led there 💔

THESE VIOLENT DELIGHTS is Scottish Ballet’s first feature film, made just across the city and shot as cinema rather than filmed stage. No dialogue, six choreographers, and a Romeo and Juliet told from Juliet’s side, where fate is rewritten on the dancefloor.

Screening with a recorded Q&A.
Please note: contains flashing lights.

If a giant rabbit told you the world was ending in 28 days, would you believe him? 🐰

That’s the question Donnie wakes up with after a jet engine falls through his bedroom roof, and the countdown he’s given runs out on Halloween night. DONNIE DARKO turns 25 this year, and it’s back in a new 4K restoration.

A whole generation found this one on a DVD. Here’s your chance to see it on the big screen, on the very day the countdown ends.

Our Halloween season starts here 🎃

The curtains stay shut. The doors stay locked. The children have never seen daylight. 🕯️

THE OTHERS, the haunted house film that reinvigorated the genre, returns for its 25th anniversary in a new 4K restoration, approved by Alejandro Amenábar. Nicole Kidman is extraordinary.

If you’ve somehow never seen it, don’t read a thing about it first.If you have, this is the way to see it again: big screen, in the dark, properly restored.

In 2014, a local historian in Tuam found records showing 796 children had died at the town’s mother and baby home. There were no burial records, no cemetery, no marker of any kind 🕯️

THE LOST CHILDREN OF TUAM follows Catherine Corless, who joined a local history class and ended up forcing a country to look at what it had decided not to see. Monica Dolan is extraordinary as her.

A government official walks away from her question. She follows. He goes through a door and closes it behind him. She stands on the other side and keeps asking . Amy Goodman has spent thirty years doing exactly that.

STEAL THIS STORY, PLEASE! follows the host of Democracy Now! from East Timor to ground zero to Gaza, chasing politicians who’d rather have taken a different question, and building one of America’s most trusted news programmes without a single advertiser.

No studio made this film. Audiences at eleven festivals voted it their favourite anyway.

She wrote some of the most important books about Black life in America. She also spent her life teaching people how to organise 📚

TCB: THE TONI CADE BAMBARA SCHOOL OF ORGANISING is a portrait of the writer and activist, told entirely by the people who knew and worked with her. It’s built as a series of lessons drawn from her life, with archival footage, interviews, and scenes from the classrooms and organising spaces her thinking still shapes.

Presented by Voodoo Visions Film Club and Inclinations Film Club, the screening comes with an introduction, and an informal discussion afterwards at Garnethill Multicultural Centre. Everyone welcome.
