Disco Afrika: A Malagasy Story

The first film to come out of Madagascar in the last 30 years is a sensuous tale in which a teen muddies his way through grief and sense of self.

Madagascar, nowadays. Twenty-year-old Kwame, who struggles to make a living in the clandestine sapphire mines, is taken back to his hometown by an unexpected turn of events. As he reunites with his mother and old friends, he finds himself confronted with the rampant corruption plaguing his country. Now, he will have to choose between easy money and loyalty; between individualism and political awakening.

1990 Revisited All Dayer. Steve Luigi . Graham Dixon . James Patta . Mike Speed

Things will never be the way they were but for one day only, we're taking a trip back for a 35th Anniversary of the Birth of the 90s with local legends on the decks.

Taking you back, we have none other than Leeds' finest, Steve Luigi whose nights at The Gallery were voted the second-best rave venue in Europe by Mixmag magazine. It was ranked just behind the legendary Hacienda in Manchester. This recognition solidified its place in the history of UK rave culture.

LHT Unwrapped: Drama Day

Ever dreamed of becoming someone completely different for the day? An adventurous soul? An eccentric gentleman? A haughty queen? Well, now you can.

Join us at Leeds Grand Theatre this August for an action-packed workshop bursting with drama, games, improv and script work.

In time for LeedsBID’s city-wide celebration Wonderland Awaits, our Drama Days will be drawing on the imaginative world and inspiring themes of Alice in Wonderland.

No experience? No problem! All you need is a spark of creativity and a taste for fun.
