only just recovered from the dream that was last Saturday 🤍

This was ’s second ever event and it was so incredibly beautiful. I can’t thank everyone enough for coming and taking part. There are so many incredible people who put their hearts and souls into this event, who so graciously and bravely shared their stories and art with us. I wish saying I put my blood, sweat and tears into this was an understatement or an over exaggeration but I wouldn’t have it any other way. This project was built on passion and community, something that rebels against profit, institution and coldness. The smiling faces and joy captured in these photos taken by the amazing is all we could have ever hoped for. Until next time 🤍🧿🙏🏼

Haringey’s Global Cinema Club is back! With our second ever in person event ✨Borderless Bodies✨taking place at Alexandra Palace on SAT 18TH JUNE 7PM!

Borderless Bodies is an extremely special event featuring LGBTQ+ Turkish & Greek Cypriot short films, spoken-word, live music, as well as a zine containing poetry, essays, art and photography exploring identity, gender, sexuality and community! 🎉

Borderless Bodies will be exploring not only what it means to be Cypriot but what it means to be Cypriot and belong to the LGBTQ+ community too, from challenging gender and sexual norms to simply existing as who we are withstanding shame, judgement, divides and borders.

We will be featuring 5 short films: A Summer Place by Alexandra Matheou , The Hunt by Sholeh Zahraei & Kamil Saldun , Downhill by Stelios Kammitsis , Self Talk, Honey by Christos Englezou and Narlik Sokak by Florenza Deniz Incirli .mp4!

The films will be accompanied by a short post-screening discussion where we will be free to delve into many of the films themes and share our thoughts, feelings and ideas with one another! 🌟

We are also so incredibly honoured to have who will be performing for us! Yas is a non-binary Trans writer of journalism and poetry, a performer of drag and spoken word, a campaigner turned trainer and facilitator. An artist and activist unafraid of working across disciplines, Yas Necati's work focuses on q***r and trans rights, feminism, mental health and community building. Their performances combine poetry and drag to ask questions about gender, immigration, belonging and what it means to know home.

The evening will be followed by live music from a Turkish and Greek band where we can let loose, dance and celebrate! 💃🏻

100% of ticket proceeds will be donated to ***rcyprus ! 🌈

Tickets are just £3 and will be accompanied by a goody bag filled with popcorn, sweets and our very special zine! Guests will also be invited to help themselves to free drinks and plate of yummy Cypriot food such as dolma! ☺️

Dress your best, bring your friends, partners, families or just yourself! Everyone is welcome! 🥳

We are delighted to support the release of new Lebanese film MEMORY BOX by Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige! 🎞📸📝

Maia, a single mother, lives in Montreal with her teenage daughter, Alex. On Christmas Eve, they receive an unexpected delivery: notebooks, tapes, and photos Maia sent to her best friend from 1980’s Beirut. Maia refuses to open the box or confront its memories, but Alex secretly begins diving into it. Between fantasy and reality, Alex enters the world of her mother’s tumultuous, passionate adolescence during the Lebanese civil war, unlocking mysteries of a hidden past.

Reflecting on the past year which has seen Haringey’s Global Cinema Club put on our very first events! The first being our first ever screening which was virtual, featuring the film At Five in the Afternoon, a film from Afghanistan by Samira Makhmalbaf. This was a completely free screening and the reaction from so many of you was phenomenal! Our second event which was our very first in person screening at the iconic Alexandra Palace, featuring Mustang by Deniz Gamze Erguven, with lots of sweets and Turkish food! I cried throughout my talk and then someone emailed me saying that I needed a microphone next time! 😂 We completely sold out this event, hitting full venue capacity which was 50+ people! For this event we charged a small fee and then donated all the proceeds to a charity in Afghanistan in honour of our first screening and all that ensued there. Since then I have been inundated with messages asking when I our next screening will be. I am working so hard on a very special screening and multi-disciplinary event that will take place early next year! I can’t wait to see what Haringey’s Global Cinema Club grows into, this was our first year going live and there’s so much more to come! Thank you so much to you all that supported us, shared and liked our posts, commented and sent me messages, there would be no community cinema without community! Happy new year and keep well and safe and let me know what non-English films you have been watching over the holidays! 🙂

Incredible news that the UK have submitted Chloe Fairweather’s Turkish-language Documentary ‘Dying To Divorce’ for best international Oscar! ❤️🙏🏼

Filmed over 5 years, Dying To Divorce takes viewers into the heart of Turkey's gender-based violence crisis and the recent political events that have severely eroded democratic freedoms. Through intimately shot personal stories, the film gives a unique perspective on the struggle to be an independent woman in modern Turkey. More than one in three Turkish women have experienced domestic violence, and levels of femicide are rising. But some are fighting back. Ipek Bozkurt, a courageous lawyer, is working with a group of activists and a pair of survivors determined to challenge this misogynistic violence by putting abusive men behind bars. But when Turkey is rocked by an attempted coup, and an increasingly repressive government looks to crack down on all opposition, Ipek must fight for democracy while continuing to fight for women.
