What's on

Hyde Park Picture House is now working with T A P E Collective on a three-part series of programmes of short films by mixed heritage filmmakers, around the themes of identity and heritage, exploring othering, belonging and the trouble of melting pots. They will be doing an event in October, November & January The first programme, The Good Immigrant, explores the ‘good immigrant’ trope experienced by refugees, and children of immigrants where acceptance is afforded to those deemed best behaved. The films in the programme offer a look at shaping an identity beyond labels and emergence from generational and ancestral trauma. A panel discussion will follow the screening to explore the overall experience of working with personal themes of identity and belonging, as well as the process. The films are HOH captioned and the panel is signed live in BSL. There will also be a post screening Q&A with the filmmakers and hosted by local writer/performer/artist Samra Mayanja.
