Events on Friday 17th July
“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.”

“dreamcastmoe’s beats are a mirror to his life lived and experienced there. “I would not be where I am today if I weren’t from DC,” he says. “You can hear DC in the way that I talk. Certain runs in my voice are rooted to the soul of DC because I listen to a lot of Donny Hathaway and Marvin Gaye. I would say DC has a role in my approach to my music and sets the tone. I’m one of those people that could work with anyone. I always try to bring the best out of people. That’s just how I grew up. I grew up in a smorgasbord of a city where one block could be hood shit and the next block could be the White House. You have to know how to move accordingly through all those spaces.””
