GU International Film Society, with the support of Kelvin Hall, are delighted to announce our upcoming ‘Cities of War’ series, taking place at Kelvin Hall Cinema throughout November.
Centred around the themes of urban loneliness and violence, we are presenting three essential films that represent resilience and survival in its various forms. The selection includes 20 Days in Mariupol (2023), a documentary offering a first-hand look at the Ukrainian conflict; Persepolis (2007), a French-Iranian animated film that tells the story of a young girl's experience during the Iranian Revolution; and City of God (2002), a raw portrayal of life in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro.
All screenings are free to attend. No booking required, seats are allocated on a first come first served basis.
Nov 14th - 6pm: 20 Days in Mariupol
Nov 21st - 6pm: Persepolis
