Join us for this special Hyde Park Film School filmmaking workshop, where we'll be exploring the documentary techniques used by director Menelik Shabazz, including the use of archive footage and radical storytelling.

A rare opportunity to see three short films from director Menelik Shabazz, capturing a pivotal period when Black British communities moved from suffering in silence to organised resistance – marking the emergence of a distinct Black British identity forged through shared struggle.

Join star Ryland Brickson Cole Tews and the beavers for Hundreds of Beavers... LIVE! Special screening and Q&A.

In this 19th century, supernatural winter epic, a drunken applejack salesman must go from zero to hero and become North America's greatest fur trapper by defeating hundreds of beavers.

Commissioned for Channel 4 in its early days of broadcasting, this radical documentary employs diverse artistic mediums—theatrical performance, verse, music, and visual art—to chronicle both the struggles and triumphs of African diaspora communities globally.

Set against the backdrop of Thatcher’s London, Burning an Illusion follows the story of a young Black woman in England becoming increasingly frustrated with her life and with her lazy, demanding boyfriend. With the help of friends, she seeks something better.

This special screening will be introduced by the late director's daughter, Khemi Shabazz.

Part of Menelik Shabazz: Rebel Generation – a special HPPH season this Black History Month, celebrating a true pioneer of Black British filmmaking.

For our next event, we will be joined by writer, director, producer Louisa Rose Mackleston.

Join Mark Johnston, architect behind the exciting redevelopment of the Hyde Park Picture House, to hear about how Page\Park Architects approach regeneration projects in sensitive historic contexts. Mark will give a special behind-the-scenes look at the Picture House redevelopment and insight into some of the complex challenges that were overcome during the works.

This is part of our weekly toddler's screening that happens ever Friday at 11am. We ask that all adults attending are accompanied by a child, to ensure the screening remains a safe and focused on our teeniest film fans, but we are keen to encourage a broad range of mums, dads, carers, grandparents, siblings and friends to use the screening as a great way to entertain but also an opportunity to meet local, like-minded families.

This screening is a Bring Your Own Baby screening - these are a chance for parents and carers to visit the cinema and see the films they want to see – in a friendly, safe, and relaxed atmosphere – without leaving the little one at home.

After the major re-issue of Pride and Prejudice earlier this summer, it's a real pleasure to bring another brilliant Jane Austen adaptation back to the big screen. Lose your heart and come to your senses... Sense and Sensibility is turning 30!
