Produced by Pere Portabella. An artistic and sophisticated analysis of the effects of globalisation on the world, which presents an optimistic argument for the future of the planet. Guided by some of the world's leading radical figures, In The Same Boat travels the world discovering the views of its people on work, happiness, the environment, and the economy.

Jonas Mekas' first completed diary film is an epic portrait of the New York avant-garde art scene of the 60s and a ground-breaking work of personal cinema.

Fragments of what might be a film reverberate rather than progress as Portabella's camera follows Christopher Lee around a dream-like Barcelona. The critic Jonathan Rosembaum said: "few directors since Resnais have played so ruthlessly with the unconscious narrative expectations to bug us"

The Festival of Great Britain and Northern Ireland was announced by Theresa May to take place in 2022 to celebrate the success of an independent Britain. The artist and filmmaker Winstanley Schtinter decided 2022 was too long to wait and appointed himself director, running the event at notorious Manchester nightclub The White Hotel on October 31 in 2019. The Film Not The Country is a feature presentation documenting The Festival of Great Britain and Northern Ireland through surveillance footage.

To mark Holocaust Memorial Day (27 January) we present a commemorative screening of Claude Lanzmann's nine-hour opus Shoah. Using no archival footage, Lanzmann instead focuses on first-person testimonies, employing a circular, free-associative method in assembling them. The intellectual yet emotionally overwhelming Shoah is not a film about excavating the past but an intensive portrait of the ways in which the past is always present.

We’re pleased to welcome American film critic Jonathan Rosenbaum for a weekend of masterclasses.
