Superlative, high-camp satire of family-values conservatism in Hollywood’s take on French stage comedy La Cage Aux Folles. Miami cabaret couple Robin Williams and Nathan Lane go from drag glamour to farcical subterfuge as they play it straight for the sake of their son and his would-be in-laws. A watershed moment for LGBTQ+ representation in mainstream media, and a real gem in the Williams oeuvre.

What can karaoke tell us about empire? Multi-disciplinary artist Sadia Pineda Hameed traces unexpected routes across the Pacific to the UK, following the musical traditions carried between islands and diasporic communities.

Free entry / PWYC! Cinema Transexuál treats you to some delicious agitprop via La Chinoise – Godard’s Dostoyevsky-riffing portrait of a group of Maoists rehearsing the revolution in 60s Paris. One of his most overtly political and narratively unruly, it’s a borderline Brechtian spectacle that’s essential viewing for would-be insurrectionists and cinephiles alike.
