Four Daughters (dir. Kaouther Ben Hania, 2023) traces the journey of a mother and her relationship with her daughters after two of the teenage girls vanish. Using actresses to reenact painful moments and uncover buried truths, the family confronts memories of love, trauma, and silence. This hybrid docudrama brings to the foreground the troubling relationship and power imbalance between filmmaker and subject in a documentary.

Majlis is our regular film club taking place every second Monday of the month. It’s a manifestation of our collective intention to continue our deep dive into films, expand on forms of political education and create a space where our community can gather, sit together, and converse about common issues over a shared meal or drink. The film club is open to all to attend but will prioritise Black and non-white film workers.

Other Cinemas is a project focused on the transformational power of film; whether that is showcasing the work of Black and non-white filmmakers; creating networks for Black and non-white creatives to work, learn and collaborate; or using film to document the stories of Black and non-white communities. Other Cinemas regularly hosts free film screenings in ways and spaces that serve our communities and also runs an informal film school collective of young Black and non-white filmmakers which seeks to create a real space for conversation and collaboration. Other Cinemas was set up by Arwa Aburawa and Turab Shah, two filmmakers who saw the need for better ways to make and share films.

Please note that a ticket does not guarantee entry. Due to the high percentage of non-attendance for free events in London, we release more tickets than our capacity. On the very rare occasions that we exceed capacity for an event, we have to enact a first come first serve policy, so please arrive on time!
