Two young strangers from Hong Kong find their lives intertwined as they seek asylum in Britain.

Followed by an in-person Q&A with director, Don Ng

Moana answers the Ocean's call and, for the first time, voyages beyond the reef of her island of Motunui with the infamous demigod Maui on an unforgettable journey to restore prosperity to her people.

This insightful documentary follows two friends whose lives have been shaped by Indian Sign Language (ISL) in markedly different ways: a Deaf woman raised in a hearing family, and her hearing friend who grew up as a Child of Deaf Adults (CODA). Through intimate conversations and reflections from Deaf and queer communities, the film explores how visual language can reshape our understanding of autonomy, care, identity, and belonging. Interwoven with evocative animation by artist Pakhi Sen, it challenges conventional notions of deafness, communication, and listening. In a landmark first for Indian cinema, the film also features an original ISL poem by a Deaf poet.

After Eight: The Story of Satpal Ram
Dir: Mos Hannan, Usayd Younis | 30 mins | English
After Eight tells the story of Satpal Ram, uncovering a landmark British miscarriage of justice and the global campaign that secured his release. But freedom brought its own struggle, as he now faces the enduring demons of his past.

The Dhaba
Dir: Alia Syed | 32 mins | English
Weaving together a series of interviews with members of the South Asian community in Glasgow, oral history and moving image, The Dhaba explores the role of imagination in migration, and how images carried across multiple generations of migrants from India and Pakistan can create new landscapes and enable new ways of being.

Shop Dada - The Cornershop That Built Us
Dir: Darshan Gajjar | 22 mins | English, Gujarati with English subtitles
Filmmaker Darshan Gajjar retraces the journey of his grandfather, Pravin Mistry, who fled Uganda and rebuilt his life running corner shops in Britain. Revisiting his grandfather’s home videos, Darshan returns to the first shop decades later, uncovering the sacrifice and resilience hidden behind a familiar South Asian stereotype.

Cult film night BAR TRASH continues our 13th sensational season — SCREAM FOR YOUR LIVES! — with a very special presentation of two queer-tinged horror films by the ‘King Of Gimmicks’, William Castle. We present both films with their original theatrical gimmicks: HOMICIDAL (1961) features a special ‘Fright Break’ and I SAW WHAT YOU DID (1965) includes a special ‘Shock Section’!

HOMICIDAL (1961) with Fright Break!
THE STORY OF A PSYCHOTIC KILLER!

William Castle’s personal PSYCHO clone, HOMICIDAL is one of the maestro’s twistiest films and deeply indebted to his other horror inspo, Henri-Georges Clouzot’s sublime LES DIABOLIQUES (1955). The story follows a mysterious young woman in a small California town whose presence unearths secrets concerning a prominent local family. For this rare presentation, Token Homo will recreate the film’s original theatrical gimmick: a special ‘Fright Break’ with posters warning patrons that “All those too timid to take the climax will be welcomed to a COWARD’S CORNER!” (no refunds for missing the ending!).

I SAW WHAT YOU DID (1965) with Shock Section!
YOU MAY BE THE TARGET OF THE NEXT ‘CRANK’ CALL…

Three young girls make ‘crank’ calls, randomly dialling numbers from the phone book and whispering “I saw what you did… I know who you are” down the line. They put themselves in danger when they pick the wrong name and number, coincidentally calling a man just after he has murdered his wife. Believing he has been found out, the man tries to track down the callers to silence them. I SAW WHAT YOU DID brings Joan Crawford back to BAR TRASH in a supporting role and was originally released with a special ‘Shock Section’ to prevent timid audience members from being scared out of their seats (a DEEPLY SILLY gimmick we will recreate tonight!).

Polite notice: We are showing HOMICIDAL and I SAW WHAT YOU DID with subtitles from the best available digital sources. There will be one intermission between the two films. I SAW WHAT YOU DID: William Castle warns you (from beyond the grave!): "This is a motion picture about Uxoricide!". The management accepts no liability for any enduring nightmares resulting from this unique double feature presentation.

/// BAR TRASH is a celebration of cult and curious cinema, hosted by queer film fanatic Token Homo and friends. Films are served with themed drinks, introductions, intermissions, prize giveaways, and subtitles / captions where possible. Tickets from £3.50 + fees. Adults 18+ only.

Four years have passed since the events of No Way Home, and Peter is now an adult living entirely alone, having voluntarily erased himself from the lives and memories of those he loves. Crime-fighting in a New York that no longer knows his name, he's devoted himself entirely to protecting his city — a full-time Spider-Man — but as the demands on him intensify, the pressure sparks a surprising physical evolution that threatens his existence, even as a strange new pattern of crimes gives rise to one of the most powerful threats he has ever faced.

Aspiring adult film-maker Jon Rubin (Robert De Niro) returns from a tour of Vietnam and, armed with his film camera, attempts to find meaning and inspiration in the counter-culture of New York in 1970.

One of the most acclaimed and influential Brazilian films ever made, Black God, White Devil tells the story of Manoel, a young cowherd who murders a wealthy ranch owner and flees to the drought-ridden hinterlands of northern Brazil with his wife Rosa. Now outlawed, they join a religious cult headed by the mystic self-proclaimed saint Sabastião, who condones acts of violence. The couple are plunged into a moral dilemma between embracing religious fanaticism and a life of brutality amongst rural peasant bandits.

One of the most banned, censored, controversial, and notorious films ever made, FACES OF DEATH (1979) changed cinema forever. A surprise home video blockbuster that spawned three sequels, the film was immediately met with praise and condemnation, along with legions of fans and hordes of protestors. Skillfully combining grueling imagery depicting the stark reality of mortality, blended with cleverly staged, ultra-gory re-enactments of murders, suicides, executions, and more too horrible to imagine, Vinegar Syndrome Archive is excited to at last bring FACES OF DEATH to 4K UHD newly restored from its long-lost camera original, and fully uncut for the very first time ever; still as shocking now as it was nearly 50 years ago…

The history of film exhibition is a loud one, and the notion of the ‘silent film’ something of a misnomer. For this never-to-be-repeated silent horror double feature, cabaret artist and trained knife thrower Maxim Melton returns to BAR TRASH to provide an improvised live score for THE CABINET OF DR CALIGARI (1920). Then, esteemed stage and screen foley artist Ruth Sullivan will create live sound effects for the Buster Keaton short, THE HAUNTED HOUSE (1921) — all for £5 a ticket!

THE CABINET OF DR CALIGARI aka Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari dir Robert Wiene (1920 / Germany / 74mins) with live accompaniment by Maxim Melton

One of the most iconic films in cinema history, Robert Wiene’s Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari shook filmgoers worldwide and changed the direction of the art form. The film’s nightmarish sets and stark lighting influenced generations of filmmakers: you will have felt Dr. Caligari’s long shadow even if you haven’t actually seen the film. Experience this diabolical masterpiece with a new improvised live score by returning artist, Maxim Melton.

THE HAUNTED HOUSE dir Edward F. Cline & Buster Keaton (1921 / USA / 20mins) with live foley effects by Ruth Sullivan

THE HAUNTED HOUSE is a two-reel silent short starring comic genius Buster Keaton aka “The Great Stone Face”. Written and directed by Keaton and Edward F. Cline, the film sees Keaton star as a hapless bank teller who, falsely accused of planning a robbery, takes refuge in a haunted house. Silent films were frequently presented with live music and sound effects, a theatrical gimmick we recreate with Ruth Sullivan who has more than 260 screen credits for creating practical sound effects for TV and film including THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH, 28 DAYS LATER, and URCHIN.

Polite notice: We are showing THE CABINET OF DR CALIGARI and THE HAUNTED HOUSE with English language intertitles and live music/foley: expect sudden loud noises created live in the auditorium.
