Diaspora: Displacement and Belonging – a day of screenings with Other Cinemas - 29 March
Diaspora: Displacement and Belonging
A double-screening event across two neighbouring venues in NW8
29 March 2025, 12–6pm
The Cockpit and The Showroom
The Showroom, in collaboration with The Cockpit, presents a double-screening event in two parts, across two neighbouring venues, curated by Other Cinemas.
Inspired by artist Nassim Azarzar’s mural commission Hayat al Noujoum / La vie des étoiles, Other Cinemas have created a programme that navigates themes of migration, cultural resistance, displaced identities and a sense of belonging.
The events include the feature film Saint Omer (2023) and five shorts: afraid of losing the echoes (2023), Specialised Technique, (2018), A Swing in Atayfiyah (2024), Brave (2021) and Journey to Kenya (2020), alongside discussions with filmmakers and Other Cinemas.
