Events on Thursday 26th October

“Afrika Eye presents an evening celebrating the work of Djibril Diop Mambéty, maverick Senegalese filmmaker, still regarded as one of the most important African filmmakers of all time: a visionary, an aesthete, a political animal. But as a lone dissenter, allergic to institutional obedience, his work was deliberately ‘lost’ by those in power.”

“"If at first, the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it." - well, that's what Albert Einstein said anyway, so we want to hear your tales of good ideas gone awry, or poorly-thought-out plans which led to something glorious.”

“Fresh from the Edinburgh Fringe catch the debut solo show from Funny Women finalist and Broadchurch actor Becky Brunning. Edgy and average: the love child of rock’n’roll and cardigans. Becky is conflicted – about everything. Whether it’s choosing a sandwich, knowing how straight to be or whether to take yet another driving test. Join her on a road trip of the soul, a coming-of-age story that took all the detours. Puts the comfort in comedy and the toothpaste lid on the tube because that’s where it lives.”
