Leandre Sanders was born in Venice Beach, LA, into a world of gangs and crime.
While his older brothers joined the family gang life, Leandre spent his time at Venice Beach skatepark with his younger brother Leontay. He caught the eye of filmmaker Van Alpert.
Over twelve years, Van documented Leandre’s struggle to perfect his skating and to survive. At 14-years old, Leandre was forced to leave his family, and lived 'homeless' at the skate park. Despite this adversity, Leandre never lost his drive to skate…
Set against the visually palpable decline of LA, Van charts Leandre’s journey to fame.
The result is a gritty reflection of what it takes to make it in the skating world – and what it takes to survive as a disadvantaged kid in the United States.
SKATEGOAT is a story about the streets told from the streets, that proves anyone can seize their dream.

This is Hollywood baby! The promise of finding fame under the lights of one of its sound stages, finding a good night out in West Hollywood, and finding a ripped vers surfer on a Santa Monica beach has lured many a gay man. Just as in mainstream culture, California has long been dominant in the production and dissemination of gay pornography, selling the state not just as the site of beautiful bodies, but promising a lifestyle of liberation and community.

This is Hollywood baby! The promise of finding fame under the lights of one of its sound stages, finding a good night out in West Hollywood, and finding a ripped vers surfer on a Santa Monica beach has lured many a gay man. Just as in mainstream culture, California has long been dominant in the production and dissemination of gay pornography, selling the state not just as the site of beautiful bodies, but promising a lifestyle of liberation and community.
But where do you go when that utopian image you’ve been sold doesn’t come true, whether you’re consuming those images or hoping to be featured in them? What happens when you’re spent and tossed aside, like a tissue in a teenage bedroom? The films in this programme both draw on the hold California has had over gay media, in particular gay porn, and use this to create a critical discourse around how this media is created and consumed.
Victim of Circumstance sees Scott and Brandon meet in the 1980s at an orphanage. Lured by a magazine, they make their way, some months apart, to the California they see depicted in its pages.Told through a hi-intensity assemblage of found material from gay porn videos and magazines of the period, some things altogether more unsettling come to emerge from amongst the images of the Sunshine State’s sun-kissed twinks.
William E Jones’ essay film Finished is a detective story and a love story, a film noir bathed in the sunlight of tapes. An unseen narrator looks into what happened to Alan Lambert, a porn performer who he’s taken rather a liking to. A proto-parasocial relationship forms as they discover Lambert’s suicide shortly after being told he was finished in the industry, aged 25. Through clips of Lambert’s appearances and footage related to his life, a portrait of two obsessions emerges: Lambert’s almost messianic visions of grandeur and Jones’ searching desire to re-animate his subject.
Films that Fuck is an irregular screening series organised by Siavash Minoukadeh exploring uses of pornographic material in moving image practices. Taking place in cinemas and away from the restrictions of the Online Safety Act, the series creates a space for critical discussions around pornography as artistic medium.

Following successful screenings in Zurich and Dharamsala, we're bringing you an unmissable program of eight preselected films from our Short Film Competition. The Tibet Film Festival Short Film Competition is a vital, bi-annual event that serves as the premiere platform for emerging Tibetan filmmakers to share their stories with the world. Join us to watch all eight films and cast your vote for the London Audience Award. At this screening we will also announce the 2025 Jury Award winner.
This screening will also host the UK Premiere of Tao Okamoto's compelling short film, My Sweet Pala. Born to Tibetan immigrants in the United States, eleven-year-old Pema grows up in a sheltered, close-knit community, constantly cared for by her overprotective father. But an unexpected event shatters her familiar world and reveals the harsh realities from which her father has protected her.
We will also be joined by special guest Wangpo Tethong, co-founder of the Tibet Film Festival in Zurich in 2009.

Seasonal Affective Cinema is a quarterly film club screening films that aesthetically and thematically reflect the changing of the seasons. Join us for a sumptuous induction into autumn with a screening of Todd Haynes’ homage to Hollywood melodrama, Far From Heaven.
Julianne Moore plays Cathy Whitaker, a 1950s housewife with the “perfect” life: she has a successful husband (Dennis Quaid), lives in a beautiful suburban home, and is the pinnacle of her New England social scene. But Cathy’s carefully constructed world is shattered when her husband’s secret desires are exposed and she finds herself falling for her gardener, Raymond (Dennis Haysbert). Confronted by prejudice, gossip, and rigid social codes, Cathy has to choose between the comfort of conformity and the risk of desire.
Haynes (Carol, Safe) crafts a stunning homage to the lush melodramas of Douglas Sirk, filling the film with saturated autumnal hues, heightened emotions, and a gorgeously stylised production design. But beneath the beauty is a portrait of repression, longing, and change. Amongst the falling leaves, Cathy’s world shifts too — turning seasonal imagery into a poignant metaphor for personal transformation.

The Run is set on a remote running trail in the stunning Lake Garda region of Northern Italy, where a famous fitness influencer’s morning run becomes a race for survival when she is hunted by seemingly motiveless killers. The audience must choose her next move by majority vote using glowsticks. Each decision shaping the story’s outcome in real time.
The Run is thrilling film festival audiences at Raindance London, Motelx Lisbon, Dinard Brittany and Imagine Amsterdam before taking up residence at the Genesis which is in Jack the Ripper’s backyard of Whitechapel!!
This is the third collaboration between Paul Raschid and Genesis Cinema after The Gallery in 2023 and Hello Stranger in April 2025.
The Genesis team believe that “the interactive film is not a gimmick but potentially a film movement that offers an exciting new experience for the film fan”.

THE MARBLES is a compelling new documentary examining one of history's most controversial cultural disputes—the removal of the Parthenon Marbles—and the ongoing campaign to return them to Greece. From imperial acquisition to modern-day advocacy, this is the story of heritage, identity, and justice.
In 1801, Lord Elgin controversially removed half the Parthenon's sculptures, sparking a backlash from his contemporaries that continues today. What followed was a 200-year diplomatic battle between Greece and Britain over cultural patrimony. When respected actress and politician Melina Mercouri challenged the British Museum in 1983, she transformed the issue into an international cause that redefined how we think about cultural ownership.
This thoughtful documentary, filmed over five years starting on the 200th anniversary of Greek independence, reveals the complexities of museum ethics, cultural policy, and the competing claims surrounding ancient artefacts. From Athens to London, it’s a tale of empire, resistance, and redemption—with Scotland emerging as an unlikely hero.
The debate continues to evolve, raising fundamental questions about the rightful ownership of ancient treasures. The question isn't just about marble sculptures—it's about how we value and preserve cultural heritage in a post-colonial world.
The screening is followed by Q&A with David Wilkinson.

With no equipment, no facilities and no blueprint, a small group of teenagers make history by becoming Palestine’s first skateboarders.

EXIST
Sweden, 2025, Markus Bengtsson and Viktor Telegin, 40’
EXIST follows Palestinian skateboarder, Aram Sabbah, in the weeks leading up to the Olympic qualifiers in Dubai. Leaving his war-torn homeland, Aram isn’t chasing medals, he’s carrying the mantle for Palestine with a drive to send a message – Palestine exists beyond media headlines and nameless statistics. Through skateboarding, Aram defines the forces that seek to silence and erase his people, offering instead resilience and a quiet resistance built on presence, passion and hope.
This session will be followed by a screen talk with Nora Lagström Jebara, Theo Krish (SkatePal) and Viktor Telegin, hosted by Manal Massalha.

The Run is set on a remote running trail in the stunning Lake Garda region of Northern Italy, where a famous fitness influencer’s morning run becomes a race for survival when she is hunted by seemingly motiveless killers. The audience must choose her next move by majority vote using glowsticks. Each decision shaping the story’s outcome in real time.
The Run is thrilling film festival audiences at Raindance London, Motelx Lisbon, Dinard Brittany and Imagine Amsterdam before taking up residence at the Genesis which is in Jack the Ripper’s backyard of Whitechapel!!
This is the third collaboration between Paul Raschid and Genesis Cinema after The Gallery in 2023 and Hello Stranger in April 2025.
The Genesis team believe that “the interactive film is not a gimmick but potentially a film movement that offers an exciting new experience for the film fan”.

Resisting the Far Right: a season of films about the dangers of right-wing extremism.
Far-right and nationalist politics are on the rise. Immigrants and minorities are being scapegoated like they were in the 1930s.
Tower Hamlets has a rich tradition of opposing racism and intolerance, from the Battle of Cable Street in 1936, to more recent community opposition to far-right extremism.
This season presents different cinematic representations of how bigotry can play out in society.
Each film will be accompanied by speakers, Q & A and discussion.
