What's On Today

Events on Thursday 16th July

“*A space to restore tenderness and to fragility and dignity to anger. An act of presence that does not seek to be an autobiographical outpouring, but rather a choral song for all those stories that, even today, find a voice only in protected spaces, where one can speak without fear.*”

“Enjoy the final British film of Bristol-born director Thorold Dickinson — a compelling anti-fascist drama featuring Audrey Hepburn's screen debut. Thorold Dickinson (1903–1984) was one of the most distinctive figures in British cinema. A leading member of the London Film Society, he helped introduce UK audiences to Soviet and European filmmaking, shaping new ways of thinking about cinema as both an art form and a vehicle for political ideas. Today, he is best remembered for *Gaslight* (1940) and *The Queen of Spades* (1949).”

“Ninety years on, the Spanish Civil War remains both a warning and an inspiration. It warns of the danger posed by fascism and reaction, but it also demonstrates the courage, creativity and determination of working people fighting for a better society. For socialists today, Spain continues to raise a vital question: how can we build the broadest resistance to the far right while maintaining an independent political programme rooted in democracy, equality and working-class power? The sacrifices of those who fought in Spain ensure that this question remains as relevant now as it was in 1936.”
