🚨 L!NK IN B!O FOR TICKETS 🚨 Lhara Film is back with another programme at @not.nowhere 🤍 Join us for a screening of two iconic films by Senegalese filmmaker Ousmane Sembène, often called “the father of African cinema.” We’ll begin with the short Borom Sarret, Sembène’s first ever film, followed by one of his most acclaimed features, Mandabi, winner of the Special Jury Prize at the 29th Venice International Film Festival (1968). Both social dramas highlight everyday life in Dakar, Senegal, in the years following independence from France, capturing a newly postcolonial nation with great insight, and moments of humour. Together, the films offers a special glimpse into history as well as a lasting cultural record. Both films are subtitled in English. The screening will be followed by a social where you can connect and network. See you on 2 May at 3pm! 🎬 If ticket cost is a barrier, feel free to reach out via dm; we’ll do our best to make sure everyone who wants to attend can be there. ☀️Lhara Film is an independent, volunteer-led initiative that is currently unfunded and run through dedicated voluntary effort. All proceeds from ticket sales go directly towards covering event costs and supporting future programming, helping to continue platforming important cinema and creating space for community and conversation☀️

A poetry workshop that invites participants to think of memory as a moving image and writing as a form of private screening using diaristic approaches and cinematic pacing. Led by @ma.moyo and facilitated by @sandrajeanpr 🌙

An audience-led discussion that considers the sensorial power of analogue cinema and the Black cinematic imagination. This discussion recaps a talk led by artist-filmmaker Christopher J.

Following their screening performance, Lynn Loo and Guy Sherwin will explore contact printing techniques used in their films in this workshop. 🗓 Saturday March 28th ⏰ 10am-4pm 🎟️ £120 (concessions available) 📍not/nowhere studio Taking control of our own contact printing can release a world of creative invention. You'll be using some rudimentary home-grown printing techniques to get you started in the art of film printing. We'll explore working with torches and synchronisers; enlargers and photograms; contact printing, multiple printing; loop printing. Experiment with all this and project the results in one day! No previous experience needed. Go to the link in bio to book your spot!

Join us for a 16mm film screening by Guy Sherwin & Lynn Loo on March 21st Beginning with observations in the real world or abstract ideas – then experimentation through unusal methods of optical and contact printing processes – the films produce unanticipated, chance results. A visual poetry of animals reacting to their own shadows, overhead wires colliding with framelines, letters moving across the screen. Titles include: * Vowels & Consonants (4 projector performance) * Split Wires (3 projector performance) * Short Film Series / Animal Studies - some never screened before! This performance / screening event will demonstrate a wide range of contact and optical printing techniques which Lynn and Guy will explore in their follow-up workshop The Art of Printing, not to be missed.

DEAR DIARY @not.nowhere 📔 Sunday 8 March // 2pm 📔 PROGRAMME REVEAL A diary is not an autobiography. A diary is a process, a conjunction, a moment ceased, an and & and + and, heading towards an unknown future. Sine Screen and not/nowhere’s experimental diary film programme explores the potentials of the diary form as an incomplete self-archive, a mode of self-representation that destabilises the idea of the fixed subject through recording temporal accumulation and lived presence. We are excited to present our programme below with two UK premieres, a 16mm projection and a TikTok: 𝑯𝒆 𝑾𝒂𝒔 𝑯𝒆𝒓𝒆, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝑨𝒓𝒆 𝑯𝒆𝒓𝒆 | 1985 | 𝒅𝒊𝒓.

Sine Screen and not/nowhere are excited to present “Dear Diary…”, a screening and activity exploring the diary film form. A diary is not an autobiography. A diary is a process, a conjunction, a moment ceased, an and & and + and, heading towards an unknown future. Sine Screen and not/nowhere’s experimental diary film programme explores the potentials of the diary form as an incomplete self-archive, a mode of self-representation that destabilises the idea of the fixed subject through recording temporal accumulation and lived presence. The diary film has influenced the avant-garde tradition from its emergence in the late 1960s until present day and this programme traces the much over-shadowed history of East Asian artists working with the diary form from the 1960s until the present day. Structural cinema traditions are reinterpreted through intimate, lived realities, while performance reflexively stages the fictions we construct around the concept of the ‘self’. Bring a diary, a sentence, a thought, a memory - a photo, video or material. Following the screening, we will break into groups and share our ideas on how we incorporate memory through archiving the average day and how we document ourselves and those around us. An intimate show and tell, alongside some home-made snacks! Sunday March 8th 2026 2.00pm – 4.30pm not/nowhere £14 Ticket link in our bio. Concession tickets available on request. Stay tuned for our upcoming spring programme exploring the theme of the diaristic and journalistic.
