Academy Award®-winning director Danny Boyle and Academy Award®-nominated writer Alex Garland reunite for 28 Years Later, a terrifying new "auteur horror" story set in the world created by 28 Days Later. It's been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected. One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily-defended causeway. When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders, and horrors that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors as well. Contains a sequence of flashing lights which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy

Elio, an underdog with an active imagination, finds himself inadvertently beamed up to the Communiverse, an interplanetary organization with representatives from galaxies far and wide. Mistakenly identified as Earth's ambassador to the rest of the universe, he starts to form new bonds with eccentric aliens while discovering who he's truly meant to be.

After 43 horrific days working round the clock under constant bombardment in the emergency rooms of Gaza’s Al Shifa and Al Ahli hospitals, British-Palestinian reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Ghassan Abu Sittah, emerged to find himself as a face of Palestinian resistance.

With news footage of him pale and shell-shocked reverberating around the world, he spoke of a catalogue of horrors from lacerated bodies, to amputations without anesthetics, orphaned children with no surviving family, and the deliberate targeting of medics and hospital facilities.

This was Ghassan’s sixth and most horrific Gaza “war”. Why does he do it? Where does he find the strength to face it again and again? How does it impact his family? How do they process the risks he takes? The answer lies simply in their shared passion: Palestine, a passion they articulate through their support of his perilous humanitarian work.

Filmmakers Carol Mansour and Muna Khalidi, close friends of the Abu Sittahs, share that same passion. They were waiting anxiously for Ghassan to emerge from Gaza, following a long and terrifying journey through the night, to meet him in Amman. Determined to capture his raw emotions they began filming him the moment he arrived through the door. Following him to Beirut, Amman, London, Kuwait, and Dubai, they and he explore their common State of Passion.

Premiering at the 2024 Cairo International Film Festival and awarded the Saad Eldin Wahba Award for Best Arabic Film, A State of Passion offers a deeply human perspective on the cost of survival and the ongoing fight for dignity.

Content notes: this film contains graphic footage of war including torture, injury, surgery and, views of dead bodies.

Celebrate the release of 28 YEARS LATER with this spectacular shot-on-video double-bill of zombie outbreak movies made by teenagers: Emily Hagins’ PATHOGEN (2006) and Pablo Parés & Hernán Sáez’s PLAGA ZOMBIE aka Zombie Plague (1997)!

“THE HEIGHT OF OUTSIDER MOVIEMAKING”

BAR TRASH host Token Homo is a lifelong zombie movie fan (he even lives where they shot 28 WEEKS LATER!), so how better to celebrate the return of the 28 DAYS LATER franchise to our screens than a slew of zombie movies? After last week’s Blaxploitation take on the sub-genre — SUGAR HILL (1974) — we now get served two epic zombie outbreak movies made by teenagers!

PATHOGEN dir Emily Hagins (2006/USA/66mins)
Conceived when filmmaker Emily Hagins was 12 and released when she was 15, PATHOGEN is one of the most accomplished horror movies ever made by a person before they could legally drive a car. With an impressive devotion to editing and storytelling, PATHOGEN delivers eyeball gouging, decapitations, and knife fights, along with an endearing perspective that could only originate from an Austin teenager. “PATHOGEN is as awkward and unsure as junior high itself, but it’s driven by wonder, sincerity, and a surprisingly cohesive style” (Bleeding Skull).

PLAGA ZOMBIE aka Zombie Plague dir Pablo Parés & Hernán Sáez (1997/Argentina/69mins)
17-year-old suburban Buenos Aires filmmakers Pablo Parés and Hernán Sáez pooled $450 to co-write, produce, direct and star in a shot-on-VHS zombie epic of such flesh-ripping, gore-spewing greatness that it instantly drew global cult acclaim. Over the next 20 years, Parés, Sáez and their friends would create two increasingly ambitious, and equally brilliant, viscera-soaked sequels, and several short films. But this is where it all started. “A DIY VHS movie miracle… the look and feel of early Raimi and Jackson, only cheaper, faster, and slimier” (Rue Morgue).

Polite notice: We are showing PATHOGEN and PLAGA ZOMBIE with subtitles from the best available digital sources. PATHOGEN was shot on digital video and PLAGA ZOMBIE was shot on VHS — please approach the technical quality of the original source material with love and empathy! Please also note the earlier than usual start time for our teen zombie double feature (8:30pm).

A gym-obsessed serial killer murders and eats a local drug dealer for their protein, inadvertently sparking a brutal and bloodthirsty tit-for-tat turf war between rival drug gangs. Based on his 2014 short film of the same name, PROTEIN is the feature film debut of award-winning commercials/music video director Tony Burke and offers a compelling blend of blackly-comic small-town crime thriller, nuanced character drama and grisly cannibal horror. The film premiered to rave reviews and an incredibly enthusiastic audience reaction at London’s FrightFest 2024.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with director/co-writer Tony Burke and actor/producer Craig Russell. 

PROTEIN contains a sequence of flashing lights which might affect customers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.

Fearless is a heartwarming documentary that features six women aged between 78 and 90. As young women they left their homes in the Caribbean, Ireland and South Asia to answer post WWII Britain’s call for workers.

The film uses archive film and photography to interweave pivotal moments in women’s social history with the interviewees’ memories of life in Britain. These are the moments and movements that impacted women then and now. They include the Notting Hill uprising and the fight for racial equality in housing and jobs. The immigrant workers’ rights fought for by the Grunwick factory strikers and the lengths mothers went to in order to ensure their children received a proper education.

Today, these fearless women are almost invisible to modern society, but as the film shows, they are still vibrant, engaging and full of mischievous fun.

A new era is born. Next summer, three years after the Jurassic World trilogy concluded with each film surpassing $1 billion at the global box office, the enduring Jurassic series evolves in an ingenious new direction with Jurassic World Rebirth. Anchored by iconic action superstar Scarlett Johansson, breakthrough talent Jonathan Bailey and two-time Oscar® winner Mahershala Ali, this action-packed new chapter sees an intrepid team racing to secure DNA samples from the three most colossal creatures across land, sea and air. Also starring acclaimed international stars Rupert Friend and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, the film is directed by dynamic visualist Gareth Edwards (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) from a script by original Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp. Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, the planet’s ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived. The three most colossal creatures within that tropical biosphere hold the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind. Academy Award® nominee Johansson plays skilled covert operations expert Zora Bennett, contracted to lead a skilled team on a top-secret mission to secure genetic material from the world’s three most massive dinosaurs. When Zora’s operation intersects with a civilian family whose boating expedition was capsized by marauding aquatic dinos, they all find themselves stranded on an island where they come face-to-face with a sinister, shocking discovery that’s been hidden from the world for decades. Ali is Duncan Kincaid, Zora’s most trusted team leader; Emmy nominee and Olivier Award winner Jonathan Bailey (Wicked, Bridgerton) plays paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis; Emmy nominee Rupert Friend (Homeland, Obi-Wan Kenobi) appears as Big Pharma representative Martin Krebs and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo (The Lincoln Lawyer, Murder on the Orient Express) plays Reuben Delgado, the father of the shipwrecked civilian family. The cast includes Luna Blaise (Manifest), David Iacono (The Summer I Turned Pretty) and Audrina Miranda (Lopez vs. Lopez) as Reuben’s family. The film also features, as members of Zora and Krebs’ crews, Philippine Velge (Station Eleven), Bechir Sylvain (BMF) and Ed Skrein (Deadpool). Jurassic World Rebirth is directed by BAFTA winner Edwards from a script by Koepp (War of the Worlds), based on characters created by Michael Crichton. The film is produced by Oscar® nominee Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley, both longtime Jurassic franchise producers and of this summer’s blockbuster, Twisters. The film is executive produced by Steven Spielberg, Denis L. Stewart and Jim Spencer.

10 mins, 2025
This FIDSA Newsreel Nr. 2 (19/03/2025) documents a discussion on the state of documentary film production and distribution, held during the 2025 edition of the FIDSA Film Festival in Santiago, Cuba.
Prominent internationalist filmmakers including Gordon Main, Lázara Herrera, Alejandra Guzzo, and others, share insights into the challenges of sustaining independent documentary cinema amid global market pressures and digital platform monopolies.
Directed and edited by Rodrigo Vázquez Salessi, with executive production by Osaín Álvarez, the newsreel continues the legacy of politically engaged filmmaking once embodied by the ICAIC Latin American Newsreel.
By highlighting these discussions, the FIDSA News Bulletin acts not only as a cultural homage to its predecessor but as a political intervention, updating the mission of revolutionary cinema to meet the realities of the 21st century.

Event supported by Santiago Alvarez In Memoriam International Documentary Film Festival (FIDSA).

Seasonal Affective Cinema is a quarterly film club screening movies that aesthetically and thematically reflect the changing of the seasons. Join us for our Summer screening of Luca Guadagnino’s stylish and startling holiday drama, A Bigger Splash.

Marianne (Tilda Swinton), a reclusive rock star on vocal rest, and her younger lover Paul (Matthias Schoenaerts) are enjoying a romantic summer together on the Italian island of Pantelleria. Their reverie is discourteously interrupted by the arrival of Marianne’s narcissistic ex-lover Harry (Ralph Fiennes) and his newly discovered daughter Penelope (Dakota Johnson). Harry wastes no time expressing his intention of reuniting with Marianne and tensions begin wildly sparking between the quartet.

The ensuing chaos is a bonfire of the grotesque that provides a biting satire of celebrity and privilege, whilst the languorous narrative style and scintillating sexual undercurrents draw strong influence from 20th century European psychological dramas. A Bigger Splash was released a couple of years before Guadagnino’s mainstream breakthrough with 2017’s Call Me By Your Name, and offers a striking glimpse into the brilliant filmmaking that has come to characterise his later releases; Call Me By Your Name’s dreamy, sun-dappled visuals, the frenetic camera work of Challengers, and the critique of colonialist entitlement that is woven through Queer.

Presented by Cult Classic Collective the screening is followed by a panel discussion with Nick Walker. A fleet of Martian spacecraft surrounds the world's major cities and all of humanity waits to see if the extraterrestrial visitors have, as they claim, "come in peace." U.S. President James Dale receives assurance from science professor Donald Kessler that the Martians' mission is a friendly one.

Forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, they must defend Earth from ravenous space god Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner).

In 17th-century West Africa, a young prince named Atanda is betrayed by his uncle (Kolawole Ajeyemi), who murders the king - Atanda’s father (Antar Laniyan) - with the aid of British soldiers and sells the boy into slavery to claim the throne of Ile Wura.

Torn from his homeland and thrust into the brutal labour of a Jamaican sugarcane plantation, Atanda (Tobi Bakre) is forced to endure unimaginable hardship under the rule of the ruthless Master Gerard (Demetri Turin). Amid the violence, he finds forbidden love with Adunni (Atlanta Bridget Johnson), a mixed-heritage house slave whose strength and defiance make her a constant target of Lady Catherine (Alex Franklyn), the plantation owner’s bitter and jealous wife.

When Adunni is accused of witchcraft in a scheme fueled by Catherine and her cunning maidservant Toro (Genevieve Edwin), the fragile order of the plantation shatters. As unrest turns to open rebellion, Atanda is drawn into the world of the Maroons, a rebel society of escaped slaves led by a mysterious and powerful priestess (Faithia Williams Balogun), whose vision of liberation forces him to confront his past - and his destiny.

Classic films back on the big screen in 35mm. Akira Kurosawa's final masterpiece, Ran is a reworking of Shakespeare's King Lear, set in feudal Japan.

Ran tells the story of Hidetora Ichimonji (Tatsya Nakadai – Yojimbo, Kagemusha) an aging warlord who, after spending his life consolidating his empire, decides to abdicate and divide his Kingdom amoungst his three sons Taro (Akira Terao - Letter from the Mountain, Dreams), Jiro (Jinpachi Nezu – The Man in White, Red Shadow: Akakage) and Saburo (Daisuke Ryu - Tono monogatari, Gojo reisenki: Gojoe).

When Saburo voices concerns about the wisdom of his father's plan, claiming that treachery within the family will be inevitable, Hidetora mistakes these comments for a threat and when his servant Tango comes to Saburo's defense, he banishes both of them. This allows Taro and Jiro to take the reigns of power unopposed, leading to a brutal and bloody struggle for the absolute power of the warlord.

Majestic in scope, Ran is a profound examination of the folly of war and the crumbling of one family under the weight of betrayal, greed, and the insatiable thirst for power.

Complicit: A Michael Haneke Retrospective at Genesis Cinema. Georges and Anne are in their eighties. They are cultivated, retired music teachers. Their daughter, who is also a musician, lives abroad with her family. One day, Anne has a stroke, and the couple's bond of love is severely tested.

This is a special centenary edition of Sergei Eisenstein’s legendary Battleship Potemkin featuring the celebrated score by Pet Shop Boys. A fixture in the critical canon almost since its premiere, Eisenstein’s film about a 1905 naval mutiny was revolutionary in both form and content. Battleship Potemkin is renowned for its dynamic compositional strength and editing of such frame-perfect precision that it’s hard not to be swept along. First revealed at a special outdoor screening in front of an estimated 25,000 in Trafalgar Square in 2004, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe’s score, performed with the Dresdner Sinfoniker and orchestrated by Torsten Rasch, blends electronic beats with orchestral grandeur to create a contemporary cinematic experience.

Classic films back on the big screen in 35mm. Newspaper magnate Charles Foster Kane is taken from his mother as a boy and made the ward of a rich industrialist. As a result, every well-meaning, tyrannical or self-destructive move he makes for the rest of his life appears in some way to be a reaction to that deeply wounding event.

Classic films back on the big screen in 35mm. Returning to their lord's castle, samurai warriors Washizu and Miki are waylaid by a spirit who predicts their futures. When the first part of the spirit's prophecy comes true, Washizu's scheming wife, Asaji, presses him to speed up the rest of the spirit's prophecy by murdering his lord and usurping his place. Director Akira Kurosawa's resetting of William Shakespeare's "Macbeth" in feudal Japan is one of his most acclaimed films.

Silents Synced pairs classic silent movies with epic rock music to bring audiences a unique big screen experience. This reimagining of the iconic Nosferatu (1922) features Radiohead’s Kid A (2000) and Amnesiac (2001) albums. An unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Nosferatu (1922) is the quintessential silent vampire film, crafted by legendary German director F. W. Murnau. Rather than depicting Dracula as a shape-shifting monster or debonair gentleman, Murnau’s Graf Orlok (as portrayed by Max Schreck) is a nightmarish, spidery creature of bulbous head and taloned claws — perhaps the most genuinely disturbing incarnation of vampirism yet envisioned. Don’t miss out on the chance to experience this imaginative new take on an iconic horror classic!

Classic films back on the big screen in 35mm. Truffaut's superb feature debut remains an influential landmark in the history of the cinema. Antoine Doinel (Jean-Pierre Laud), a 13-year-old is constantly in trouble - justifiably or otherwise - with his parents and teachers. Drifting into truancy and petty theft, he soon finds himself at odds with still less sympathetic figures of adult authority. Shot on the streets of Paris, the film exudes an emotional authenticity born of the semi-autobiographical story, and displays real compassion as it charts a seemingly unstoppable progress towards delinquency. Great credit goes to Léaud, whose engaging but entirely uningratiating performance is a miracle of naturalism. Truffaut managed to gather many talents, on both sides of the camera, who would prove crucial to the development of the nouvelle vague. Marvellous stuff.
