Acorn Leeds and Poised Peach Cinema are joining forces for this not to be missed screening of The Organiser.

The documentary film looks back at how Wade Rathke, a former anti-war and welfare rights organizer founded the Acorn organization in Little Rock in 1970 and over the next decades shepherded its growth into a national political powerhouse for the poor. His entrepreneurial vision helped build ACORN but internal conflict and external pressures would lead to its tragic downfall.

Over Thinking Cinema invites you to overthink: Coffee & Cigarettes (2003) with us, Saturday 6th August, at Hyde Park Book Club.

Coffee & Cigarettes (2003) brings together a collection of strange, funny, idiosyncratic short films by legendary cult director Jim Jarmusch.

Each vignette stars a number of celebrities playing dramatised versions of themselves. They each meet for chats, about music; the dangers of caffeine and nicotine; a self-made tesla coil; Elvis Presley's evil twin; and more.

This event is part of Leeds Scalarama Film Festival 2025.

Join us for the Short-film Premiere of 'The Keeper' - followed by a talk from the creators and a Q&A session.

'The Keeper' project is a collaboration between contemporary dance and comedy.

It's born out of the desire to create work touching on mental health issues and depression, to raise awareness and reduce the stigma around the topic - specifically in men.

This filmed creative piece is a poignant duet, where one actor and one dancer give life to funny and relatable characters through comedy and dance, while underlying some darker societal problems.

‘The Girl with a Pearl Earring’ by Johannes Vermeer is one of the most enduring paintings in the history of art. This beautifully filmed documentary goes in pursuit of answers to the unresolved riddles surrounding this extraordinary piece.

Enjoying exclusive access, the film’s main focuses are the key works housed here. Interpretation of these major treasures offers insight into Vermeer and his most famous work, interwoven with his life story and behind-the-scenes footage.
