High Hopes (1988)

True to its title, this slice-of-life satire is one of director Mike Leigh’s warmest and most optimistic films—though it’s still laced with more than a touch of bittersweet melancholy. Focusing on counterculture couple Cyril (Phil Davis) and Shirley (Ruth Sheen)—a pair of generous, pot-smoking Marxists wrestling with the decision of whether or not to have a baby—and their materialistic, middle-class extended family, HIGH HOPES offers an at once affectionate and slyly critical portrait of generational, social, and class divides within Thatcher-era Britain.

A Running Jump (short film) (2012)

Desperate wheeler-dealer Perry is always on the go, as are most of his family, and not having possession of the car he is supposed to be selling will not stop him. Comedy from director Mike Leigh, commissioned by BBC Films and Film 4 to mark the 2012 Cultural Olympiad.

This screening is presented in collaboration with Brent Council for Refugee Week.

Written and filmed during Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine, Pavlo Ostrikov’s debut feature is a true wonder and a prescient reminder how important it is to connect with someone who understands during the darkest of times.

In the distant future, an average Ukrainian space trucker from Khmelnytskyi named Andriy (Volodymyr Kravchuk, who gives an out-of-this-world performance) is employed by the biggest nuclear waste disposal company in Eastern Europe. After 150 years of using nuclear energy, humanity has accumulated more than 3 billion tons of waste, held in temporary storage facilities. Unfortunately, due to an increasing number of earthquakes, radiation is destroying life on the planet.

Aboard a cargo ship named Obriy, Andriy is on a four-year round-trip mission to transport nuclear waste from Earth to Jupiter’s moon Callisto. His vessel is equipped with a lounge, gym, kitchen, and bedroom, as well as a robot named Maxim (Leonid Popadko) to keep him company. Maxim has a joke for every occasion, which comes in handy when the Earth explodes in the far distance and Andriy believes he is now the last living person in the universe — until a call from a French woman named Catherine (voiced by Alexia Depicker and played by Daria Plahtiy) reaches him from a faraway space station. Surprisingly, love blossoms in the post-apocalyptic fallout, and now Andriy’s sole mission becomes to reach her, despite all the obstacles.

Touching the most universal aspects of life — love, loneliness, joy, sadness — U Are The Universe is a genre-bending journey into the soul, infinity… and beyond! Written and filmed during Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine, Pavlo Ostrikov’s debut feature is a true wonder and a timely reminder of how important it is to connect with someone who understands us, even during the darkest of times. - TIFF

Do we get stupider as we grow up?’ In his wildly popular Broadway show American Utopia, David Byrne reflects on human connections, life and how on earth we work through it. He joins the dots with his music and it all starts making sense. Spike Lee here transforms the production into immersive, dynamic cinema that radiates with astounding performances, inventive contemporary dance and political urgency. American Utopia flows like an iridescent dream vision. Work by James Baldwin, Janelle Monáe and Kurt Schwitters is highlighted among exhilarating renditions of Byrne’s solo work, as well as Talking Heads classics.

According to the multi-hyphenate, we love looking at humans more than anything else. Anti-fascist and anti-racist, Byrne illuminates our responsibility to care for one another as he and his co-performers burn down the house.
