Over the course of six weeks in the summer of 1969, the Harlem Cultural Festival was filmed in Mount Morris Park. The footage was never seen and largely forgotten - until now.
Summer of Soul shines a light on the importance of history to our spiritual wellbeing and stands as a testament to the healing power of music during times of unrest, both past and present. Includes concert performances by Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, Sly & the Family Stone, Gladys Knight & the Pips, Ray Baretto, Abbey Lincoln & Max Roach and more, and will sound fantastic with our 11 speaker set-up! |

A community cinema such as ours seems to be the perfect place to show this charming documentary.
The Guardian calls it “a thoughtful film about film-making and has some unexpectedly deep things to say too about camaraderie, community and … friendship”. Growing old amid flickering memories, one of the oldest amateur film clubs in the world is teetering on the brink of survival. Desperately clinging to their dreams, and to each other, this hilarious and moving portrait of artistic folly speaks to the delusional escapist dreamer in us all. |

Written and performed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag, Killing Eve) and directed by Vicky Jones, Fleabag is a rip-roaring look at some sort of woman living her sort of life. Following a box-office record-breaking run in cinemas in 2019, the one-woman show returns to cinemas to the big screen this summer.
Fleabag may seem oversexed, emotionally unfiltered and self-obsessed, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. With family and friendships under strain and a guinea pig café struggling to keep afloat, Fleabag suddenly finds herself with nothing to lose. The hilarious, award-winning play that inspired the BBC’s hit TV series Fleabag, was filmed live on stage in London’s West End in 2019. Presented by DryWrite, Soho Theatre and Annapurna Theatre. |
