Come along to our first meeting of 2025 on Thursday 20 February from 6PM at The Tetley. The meeting will last roughly an hour and will be a general hello and information about the festival will be given to both newcomers and returning programmers to Scalarama Leeds.
If you are brand new to Scalarama, don't worry! Everything will be explained in the meeting about how it all works and we are a very friendly bunch. You are not expected to bring anything or have any ideas for your possible future events at this point.
Game Changer tells the remarkable story of Gian Singh Virdi, who after emigrating to England in 1962, played international hockey, experienced the shocking events of the 1972 Munich Olympics and became Yorkshire County Cricket Club's first non-white coach in 1989.
Decades later and now 80 years old, Gian embraces his final challenge – to inspire a small, village cricket club on the brink of folding to challenge for league and cup success.
A licensed bar and a range of snacks (samosas, bhajis, spring rolls and biryani) will be available.
Double-Palmes-winner Ruben Östlund delivers a knife-sharp satire on art, culture and communication in the digital age. Starring Claes Bang (The Bridge), Elisabeth Moss (The Handmaid's Tale, Mad Men) and Dominic West (The Wire), The Square won the Palme d’Or at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival. Christian (Bang) is a divorced and distracted father of two, and the respected curator of a contemporary art museum in Stockholm. He's gearing up to launch their next show, ‘The Square’, a daring installation examining altruism and our duty to help others.

Three-time Olivier Award-winner Sharon D Clarke is joined by Ncuti Gatwa (Doctor Who; Sex Education) in this joyful reimagining of Oscar Wilde’s most celebrated comedy.
While assuming the role of a dutiful guardian in the country, Jack lets loose in town under a false identity. Meanwhile, his friend Algy adopts a similar facade. Hoping to impress two eligible ladies, the gentlemen find themselves caught in a web of lies they must carefully navigate.
David Tennant (Doctor Who, Broadchurch) and Cush Jumbo (The Good Wife, Criminal Record) lead a stellar cast in an ‘enthralling’ (★★★★★ Daily Telegraph) new production of Shakespeare’s MACBETH, filmed live at the Donmar Warehouse in London, especially for the big screen.
With the renewed interest in the film Nosferatu, following a recently released remake, we're putting on another special intimate screening of the original 1922 film at The Northern Market on Saturday 25th January.
This screening will be accompanied by an original improvised live score by Anna Ross (synths), Spike Woodley (theramin) & Iris Casling (double bass).
*this is the second screening of the film at The Northern Market, which we're putting on due to high demand and a sold out first screening.
