Academy Award-winning director Danny Boyle and Academy Award-nominated writer Alex Garland reunite for 28 Years Later, a terrifying new "auteur horror" story set in the world created by 28 Days Later. It’s been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected. One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily-defended causeway. When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders, and horrors that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors as well.

Dubbed “the greatest that never was,” Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) was FORMULA 1’s most promising phenom of the 1990s until an accident on the track nearly ended his career. Thirty years later, he’s a nomadic racer-for-hire when he’s approached by his former teammate Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), owner of a struggling FORMULA 1 team that is on the verge of collapse.

In 2019, documentary filmmaker Hind Meddab flew to Sudan to film a sit-in protest at the Army headquarters in Khartoum. The people of Sudan were assembling, demanding reform after decades of military dictatorship. There she met a selection of young activists that she would continue to film over the course of 4 years, from the swell of hope and accomplishment following dictator Omar al-Bashir’s fall to the oppression of the military crackdown and subsequent civil war, which today, leaves Sudan in ruins.

Standing in front of a powerful army, how could the civilian movement find the strength to persist? In conversations, in demonstrations, on walls, it emerges how the Sudanese tradition for poetry becomes a powerful tool for activism. Art, music and poetry bolster every stage of the Sudanese fight for freedom. ‘Sudan, Remember Us’ bears witness to a lost revolution and within it unearths a tribute to the power of creativity as a tool of survival and resistance.

Fearless is a heartwarming documentary that features six

women aged between 78 and 90. As young women they left

their homes in the Caribbean, Ireland and South Asia to answer

post WWII Britain’s call for workers.

The film uses archive film and photography to interweave

pivotal moments in women’s social history with the

interviewees’ memories of life in Britain. These are the

moments and movements that impacted women then and

now. They include the Notting Hill uprising and the fight for

racial equality in housing and jobs. The immigrant workers’

rights fought for by the Grunwick factory strikers and the

lengths mothers went to in order to ensure their children

received a proper education.

Today, these fearless women are almost invisible to modern

society, but as the film shows, they are still vibrant, engaging

and full of mischievous fun.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A - more details to come.

Film length: 70 mins

Q&A: 45 mins approx

The screening will be introduced by Lexi Co-Director Johnathan Kirk and followed by a discussion panel - more details TBC.

Noël Coward was the source for this story of a London lower middle-class suburban family in the inter-war years from 1919 to 1939. The finely and wittily observed family feuds unfold against a panorama of public events ranging from the General Strike of 1926 to the outbreak of war itself. Beautifully acted by an ensemble cast and shot in Technicolor, the film was a huge contemporary hit and has lost little of its appeal.

The film will be screening again on Tuesday 22 July at 18:05, with no intro or panel.
