SUMMARY:FILM: Everybody to Kenmure Street
DESCRIPTION:Glasgow residents abandon their daily routines to gather on Kenmure Street after learning authorities plan to deport their neighbours\, sparking an impromptu grassroots movement. \n7.8IMDB \n★★★★ “community triumphs in inspiring retelling of 2021 Glasgow protest. Emma Thompson voices the anonymous ‘Van Man’ in a documentary about local people standing their ground against heavy-handed immigration enforcement.” The Guardian \nIn May 2021\, a UK Home Office dawn raid triggers one of the most spontaneous and successful acts of civil resistance in recent memory. In Pollokshields\, Scotland’s most diverse neighbourhood\, hundreds of residents rush to the streets to stop the deportation of their neighbours. \nWinner: Sundance World Cinema Documentary Special Jury Award for Civil Resistance\nNeighbours and activists rush to surround an immigration van detaining two residents in Scotland’s most diverse community. Everybody to Kenmure Street is an intense\, ground-level\, and ultimately joyous account of the standoff with the police and the UK Home Office. The  film celebrates collective action\, looking to the stories that led to that day and the historic events that have shaped this community. \nOption to pay-as-you-feel on the day or usual ticket prices \n  \n\n\n\nEverybody to Kenmure Street – official trailer

SUMMARY:Afternoon Film: The Little Stranger (12A)
DESCRIPTION:After a doctor is called to visit a crumbling manor\, strange things begin to occur. \n★★★★”Based on the novel by Sarah Waters\, this is a story about class\, envy and self-loathing.” The Independent \n\n\n★★★★ “Ruth Wilson shines in mournful ghost story. Death and decline haunt postwar Britain as Sarah Waters’ novel is brought to deliciously sinister life by Lenny Abrahamson.” The Guardian  \nDirected by Lenny Abrahamson and adapted from Sarah Waters’ novel by Lucinda Coxon\, The Little Stranger is set in post-war 1948 England. The story follows Dr. Faraday (Domhnall Gleeson)\, a country doctor who returns to Hundreds Hall\, a once-grand estate where his mother worked as a maid. The Ayres family—matriarch Mrs. Ayres (Charlotte Rampling)\, her son Roderick (Will Poulter)\, and daughter Caroline (Ruth Wilson)—inhabit the decaying mansion\, which seems haunted by an ambiguous\, sinister presence. \nTHE LITTLE STRANGER – Official Trailer [HD] – In Theaters August 31\n\n\n\nSupported by the Friends of Bishop’s Castle Community\, Care Home and Hospital.\nTea and biscuits £1\,\nNo stairs\, tables  & chairs\,\nHearing loop\,\nFree Dial–a-ride bus service from Bishops Castle and Lydbury North please phone 01588 638350\nAll Tickets £4 Accompanying Carers FREE
