WHAT'S ON NOVEMBER 2026...
November 10th, 2026 - Souleymane's Story (France)
Souleymane is a Guinean asylum seeker living in Paris who works as a food delivery cyclist. He has just two days to prepare for a crucial asylum interview that will determine whether he can remain in France legally. As he navigates exhausting deliveries, homelessness, exploitation, and pressure to memorise a story for the immigration authorities, the film explores the emotional and practical challenges faced by undocumented migrants.
The film received widespread critical acclaim, winning the Cannes Jury Prize and the Best Performance Prize for Abou Sangaré in his first leading role, together with several Césars, including for Best Original Screenplay.
The film will be preceded by the Richmond Film Society AGM and will therefore commence half an hour later than usual at 8:30pm.
November 24th, 2026 - The Last Viking (Norway/Denmark/Sweden)
This extremely black comedy comes from the Danish auteur director Anders Thomas Jensen who uses his regular ensemble cast in this, his latest film. Some of you will remember RFS’s screening Men and Chicken and may also have seen his more recent Riders of Justice. The cast is lead by RFS favourite Mads Mikkelsen and also includes Sofie Gråbøl. Although the film has a 15 certificate, do be prepared for some very gory shocks, with strong violence and bloody images (Anders was the writer of the RFS screened The Promised Land).
