Fearnville Fest

Fearnville Fest is a 2025 pilot programme supported by East Leeds Project, Space2 Leeds, and The Old Fire Station. 

We will be running events across the last weekend of March that support local creativity and community, centring around green space and ecologies. There will be free workshops, music, a publication launch, and more!

Cinema Africa: Camp De Thiaroye

Part of Cinema Africa!

One of Sembène’s most celebrated and powerful films, Camp de Thiaroye is a historical and harrowing story honouring the very real fallen heroes of West Africa during World War II. West African troops fought the Nazis and were imprisoned in concentration camps, only to receive on their return to Senegal racist discrimination, unfair pay and for dozens, murder by the French authorities.

This film won the Grand Jury Prize in the 45th Venice International Film Festival, yet it was banned in France for a decade and censored in Senegal.

Tuesday Wonder: Blues like Showers of Rain and Jazz is Our Religion

Blues Like Showers of Rain (1970) provides an unflinching insight into the conditions that gave birth to the blues in America, charting the evolving sound of the blues as musicians moved from rural areas into the cities. As both director and editor Jeremy deftly combines the field recordings and still photographs of the British blues historian Paul Oliver (1927 – 2017) gathered on a trip through the United States in 1960.
