This Sunday at the Star & Shadow Cinema we’re screening EVERYBODY TO KENMURE STREET, a powerful documentary chronicling one of the most inspiring moments of community resistance in recent years.

In May 2021, a Home Office immigration raid in Glasgow’s Pollokshields sparked an immediate response from local residents, who gathered in huge numbers to prevent two neighbours from being taken away. Streets were blocked, people linked arms around the van, and a day of collective action unfolded that captured national attention.

Built from firsthand footage and accounts from those who were there, EVERYBODY TO KENMURE STREET captures the urgency, emotion and solidarity of that day, documenting how ordinary people came together to stand against injustice.

Winner of the World Cinema Documentary Special Jury Award for Civil Resistance at Sundance Film Festival.

A masterpiece of visual comedy and controlled chaos, PLAYTIME drifts through a futuristic Paris of glass offices, endless reflections and baffling modern technology.

Next Sunday at the Star & Shadow Cinema, step into the dark fairytale world of Guillermo del Toro’s PAN’S LABYRINTH.

Set in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War, the film follows young Ofelia as she arrives at a remote military outpost ruled by the merciless Captain Vidal. Isolated and frightened, she discovers an ancient labyrinth where a mysterious faun tells her she may be the reincarnation of a lost princess, if she can complete three dangerous tasks.

Moving between harsh historical reality and eerie fantasy, PAN’S LABYRINTH creates a world filled with strange creatures, unsettling beauty and moments of real terror. Guillermo del Toro blends myth, horror and political violence into an unforgettable story about innocence, resistance and the power of imagination.

Winner of three Academy Awards and celebrated as one of the greatest fantasy films of the 21st century, PAN’S LABYRINTH remains as devastating and magical as ever on the big screen.

Join us in Newcastle for a screening of Flowing Stories 河上變村 directed by Jessey Tsang Tsui Shan 曾翠珊, 2014, 97m, Documentary. Followed by a Q&A with the director.

📍@starandshadow Newcastle upon Tyne
🗓 Saturday 23rd May
⏰️ 2pm - 4.30pm

'Ho Chung Tetralogy' includes the interactive web piece All About My Ho Chung, the short film The Life and Times of Ho Chung Village, the feature film Big Blue Lake, and the director’s first feature-length documentary Flowing Stories. Through depicting the recurrent reunions and partings of the villagers and the intimate details of their lives, the film examines issues about urban and rural development. Filmed on locations in Hong Kong and in various cities in France and UK, Flowing Stories is an ode to village life and a journey in search of Hong Kongers’ collective roots. Tsang’s camera records the beautiful scenery and time-honored customs of the local village, as well as a once-a-decade village festival, which serves as a continuation of a tradition passed down through generations and a testament of family bonding. Today, Hong Kong citizens are confused about the future, the director hopes to review the village’s development in order to search for the meaning of home and diaspora through this meaningful local documentary.

曾翠珊繼《蠔涌》（網絡互動作品）、《河上風光》（短片）和《大藍湖》（長片）後的「蠔涌四部曲」，精心經營的首齣紀錄片製作。從蠔涌村民的聚散離合、生活點滴，看城鄉經濟的發展。導演走訪英、法等國家多個城市，用鏡頭捕捉美景和風俗，探討漂流他鄉的村民對鄉土的感情，尋回那遺忘失落的根。十年一度的太平清醮，除了是代代相傳的禮節儀式，更是家庭團聚及遊子思鄉情的見證。在今日香港人面對不明前景，思考何去何從之際，導演希望藉著作品，從離鄉別井的經歷去探索家的定義，並從社群流徙的故事去反思過去和展望村落的未來發展。這是一部極具誠意及啟發性的本地紀錄片製作。
