Come and join us on the eve of Southampton Pride 2022 for a special screening of the brilliant 2014 film starring Bill Nighy, Imelda Staunton, Dominic West and many more! Pride is heartwarming and dramatic, a cry for solidarity in the fight against oppression - with plenty of humour along the way! Based on an extraordinary true story, Pride tells how a group of London-based gay and lesbian activists raised money to support the families of miners during the strike of 1984. Identifying a mining village in Wales, they set off to make their donation in person, and in so doing inspired "the Best British film in years" (Glamour). Southampton Pride CIC is a registered Community Interest Company (Registered ID 10676456) which operates on a not-for-profit basis. The primary function of Southampton Pride CIC is to hold awareness, training and fundraising events in aid of its own personal fund and for its chosen charities. Southampton Pride CIC partakes in the organisation of 'Southampton Pride' each August which remains one of the largest and fastest growing LGBT+ Pride events in the South of England. The costs for this event are covered solely by corporate sponsorship and community fundraising. All proceeds and profits from fundraising and sponsorship are put back into the organisation of key events for Southampton Pride CIC. No Directors or members of staff are paid a salary for their work for Southampton Pride.

Untold Stories: Anil Sood
Friday 22nd July 2022
On Friday 22nd July at the Stage Door, London Sinfonietta will present the world premiere of friend of City Eye Alys Scott Hawkins' new film, ANIL SOOD.
Southampton-based Artist and Filmmaker Alys has a long relationship with City Eye having commenced her filmmaking journey with us on a young filmmakers workshop quite a few years ago! Across the years of festival selection and numerous awards, we are thrilled that Alys continues to work here and is premiering in Southampton this evening.
The film, part of London Sinfonietta's 'Untold Stories' series, is the outcome of a collaborative project with Benjamin Oliver, who composed the film's score, A-Listers. The film tells the story of Southampton local Anil Sood, who is well-known for running a dance music record shop and drum'n'bass events in the 1990s and 2000s. In this unique event, Benjamin and Alys will come together to discuss the film, alongside performances of new music and live drawing by Alys Scott-Hawkins.
"I'm really interested in hearing and sharing stories that don't usually get told or recorded... for me that's something really important about giving Anil the opportunity to tell his story, to find a way to interpret that story and to share it and for there to be some kind of record of that era and that community of people he brought together." - Alys Scott-Hawkins
Programme:
Benjamin Oliver Too Many Sweets (UK premiere)

John Hansard Gallery: Sean Lynch: Book Launch, Discussion & Performance
|
John Hansard Gallery, which is co-located with City Eye at Studio 144, presents an informal discussion with artist Sean Lynch to launch his new publication Bardlore. The launch coincides with the exhibition of his work A Murmur, Repeated, which explores Southampton's urban fabric and Ireland's bardic tradition.
Alongside a varied collection of artefacts, props and sculptures, Lynch presents a new film with collaborators Gina Moxley and Timmy Creed. In this film, a 17th century Irish bard travels through time to contemporary Southampton, where the film was shot. Through the ensuing surreal narrative, the bard encounters an abandoned Toys R Us car park, Southampton's geothermal power plant, budget hotels and city centre streetscape.

Working in Shadows
Archive film screening with live musical accompanimentThis Autumn Wessex Film and Sound Archive are pleased to present: Working in Shadows
A series of film screenings with live musical accompaniment. It’s 1943 and it’s all hands to the pump on the Home Front. When the Second World War was declared in 1939, the female population of Britain were called upon to fill all manner of roles. Women stepped up on the Home Front and abroad, which saw their lives drastically change. Elliott’s of Newbury was a manufacturing firm whose workforce, during the 1940s, was predominantly female. The factory was adapted to war work, and amongst other things was responsible for producing various Spitfire components as one of many Shadow Factories. The firm commissioned a series of films from this period. These films are held in the extensive collection of Hampshire County Council’s Wessex Film & Sound Archive. An unmissable opportunity to see archive footage that has not been publicly shared in over 75 years; brought to life with an exclusive improvised live score. |

Battleships of the Silent Era
|
This September join No.6 Cinema at Portsmouth's Historic Dockyard for some fantastic silent films with music accompaniment including live music by Stephen Horne and Martin Pyne who you can also see and hear in November as Turner Sims and Southampton Film Week present Metropolis. Thursday 27th September 2018 - 7.00pm Dawson City: Frozen Time, pieces together the bizarre true history of a collection of some 500 films dating from 1910s - 1920s, which were lost for over 50 years until being discovered buried in a sub-arctic swimming pool deep in the Yukon Territory, in Dawson City, located about 350 miles south of the Arctic Circle. Using these permafrost protected, rare silent films and newsreels, archival footage, interviews and historical photographs to tell the story, and accompanied by an enigmatic score by Sigur Rós collaborator and composer Alex Somers (Captain Fantastic), Dawson City: Frozen Time depicts a unique history of a Canadian gold rush town by chronicling the life cycle of a singular film collection through its exile, burial, rediscovery, and salvation - and through that collection, how a First Nation hunting camp was transformed and displaced. Written and directed by Bill Morrison. Friday 28th September 2018 - 7.00pm Battleship Potemkin “Even now I feel again the emotion it aroused in all of us. When we left the theatre, we started erecting barricades ourselves. The police had to intervene before we would stop.” Luis Buñuel, My Last Sigh, 1982 Declared the greatest film of all time at the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair and one of only two films to have appeared on all of Sight & Sound’s critics’ polls (1952–2002), Battleship Potemkin has also been widely censored, as much out of fear of the perceived influence of its ideas as for any contentious material on screen. In essence, it tells a five-part story of a naval mutiny leading to full-blown revolution, but while this material could be crudely propagandist in other hands, Eisenstein uses images of such dynamic compositional strength and editing of such frame-perfect precision that it’s hard not to be swept along, regardless of personal politics. Despite endless quotation and parody, the set-piece massacre on the Odessa Steps still packs a sledgehammer punch. South West Silents are proud to present one of the true classics of cinema on the big screen in full blown High Definition. Film courtesy of the BFI. Recorded soundtrack of Edward Meisel's 1926 score to accompany the film. Saturday 29th September 2018 - 4.15pm Zeebrugge April 23rd 1918 saw one of the most daring and heroic raids of the First World War with the British Royal Navy attempting to block the Belgian port of Bruges-Zeebrugge, a key U-boat and light shipping base for the Imperial German Navy. Based on the raid, Woolfe and Bramble’s much forgotten gem is a film that recreates the famous heroic attack at Zeebrugge with a mixture of drama and authentic First World War film material including captured German film as well as the most advance special effects of the time. South West Silents and No6 Cinema, Portsmouth are proud to present this very rarely screened film up on the big screen. Film courtesy of the BFI and Studio Canal. Live Music by Stephen Horne and Martin Pyne. Saturday 29th September 2018 - 7.00pm Nelson Rarely seen since its original release, Maurice Elvey’s masterpiece on the life and career of Admiral Nelson was a major passion project for Britain’s most prolific film director. Written by Alfred Hitchcock’s scriptwriter Eliot Stannard and made with the support of the Admiralty at a time when the Navy needed to recruit. The film transforms Nelson into an action packed hero for the British audiences of World World One, celebrating his heroic status and recreating famous moments in British Naval history. Elvey’s action packed film is very much an education as well as entertainment with stunning cinematography and razor sharp action sequences mixed with model shots and animation. Part of the film was shot on HMS Victory, making NELSON the only feature film ever made on the Royal Navy’s most famous ship. South West Silents and No6 Cinema, Portsmouth are proud to present this rare screening of Elvey's forgotten masterpiece celebrating the life of one of the British Navy' greatest heroes. Film courtesy of the BFI. Live Music by Stephen Horne and Martin Pyne. |

This includes greater responsibility around film festivals, community cinemas, talent development and changes in regional boundaries in England.

Dunkirk - 35mm screenings at Harbour Lights
|
If you're nostalgic for the pre-digital era - or if this is something you've only heard rumour of - then a rare treat is in store! Harbour Lights, Picturehouse are bringing out their 35mm projector this summer for the release of Christopher Nolan's latest film 'Dunkirk'.
We urge you to get along and enjoy the 35 mm projection (as the Director would prefer you to see it) - and celebrate a film that used locations along the south coast from Weymouth to Lee-on-Solent. The mass evacuation of more than 330,000 Allied troops from the beaches of Dunkirk in May 1940 was one of the most dramatic and pivotal episodes of the Second World War. In his latest feature, director Christopher Nolan (Interstellar, The Dark Knight trilogy) plunges viewers into the thick of it with what he describes as “the most visceral experiential two hours that audiences can hope for”. Told from three points of view – land, sea and air – Dunkirk unfolds with a palpable sense of dread and tension, evoking the very human and immediate desire to survive. With cinematography from Hoyte van Hoytema (Interstellar), a score from Hans Zimmer, and an all-star supporting cast that includes Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy and Mark Rylance, this is the must-see spectacle of the summer. |

The Guernica Children
FEATURING Q&A + DISCUSSION OF REFUGEES, PAST AND PRESENT
|
The infamous bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War, commemorated by Picasso's famous painting, led directly to the evacuation of four thousand Basque children to Britain. It was the largest single influx of refugees ever to arrive in this country and the first to consist solely of children. The British Government did not want them here - so it was that an enormous voluntary organisation stepped in to care for the children - much to the annoyance of the Government! Everybody expected their stay to be brief, but the conflict dragged on. By the end of the Spanish Civil War many of the children literally had nothing and nobody to return to and remained in Britain for a lifetime. This is the story of the Basque children - of those that returned to Spain and those that made Britain their home. It is the story of a remarkable grass-roots organisation that cared for them and the conflict it generated with a British Government which saw the children as a political embarrassment.
In this R.T.S. award-winning documentary film, eye witness accounts are mixed with expert analysis, dramatic reconstruction and previously un-screened archive footage to tell the story of The Guernica Children. The film screening will be followed by a Q&A including the film's director Steve Bowles, Simon Martinez from the Basque Children's Association and Mike Brown from CLEAR - a human-rights organization working with asylum-seekers and refugees in Southampton today. |

Baka - A Cry from the Rainforest
|
Phil Agland/ UK/ 2013/ 89'
*Free entry* “This is a sublime film – warm, human, beautiful to watch, filmed with intense love and achingly sad” The Times As part of the Royal Anthropology Institutes Film Festival Ambassadors programme we are going to be screening Phil Agland’s Baka: A Cry From the Rainforest A quarter century after his award-winning documentary Baka: People Of The Rainforest, Phil Agland revisits the same Baka family in the Cameroon. For the first time they watch the film he made of them, delighted in seeing lost ones brought back to life. They’re also astonished to have a glimpse into how they used to live. For in the span of a single generation, Agland discovers that the Baka people’s lifestyles have dramatically changed. The rainforest, once so abundant with game, is now depleted by hunters and timber companies, and the Baka are losing their hunting skills. They’re also being decimated by a homegrown alcohol that is highly addictive and wiping out the menfolk. With the women now becoming addicted, it is even taking its toll on young, and unborn children. Inspired by the film, the Baka men embark on a journey into the forest to reconnect with the old way of life of their fathers. The screening will be introduced with a short talk on the context of the film and its history at 6.30pm and will be followed by the screening at 7pm (duration 90mins). There will be a short Q&A opportunity post screening. |
