Four BFI Film Shorts – 2 film screenings available

Sunday 19 September 2021

Enjoy a very special screening in the little known Heritage Cinema nestled in the Leeds Industrial Museum. This event is supported by The Black Cinema Project who have selected four BFI short films for screening.

 

These include; Flight of the Swan (1992) dir. Ngozi Onwurah; Home Away from Home (1993) dir. Maureen Blackwood and Springtime in an English Village (1944) dir. Not given,  plus a surprise screening on the day.

Although not centred in Leeds, these beautiful films explore universal themes of the adult world of migration, belonging and communities, through the eyes of children. They range from an exploration of the barriers in ballet, Windrush arrival in post war London and the significance of culture to our identity.

Choose from two scheduled screenings, the event is a repeat of September 5th. The event is free of charge with purchase of museum ticket.
