About The Event
Join us for an evening of film, food, and collective reflection on resistance, resilience, and solidarity.
This 99p Films social cinema experience features a screening of a powerful documentary of selected shorts from the feature film 'From Ground Zero' exploring life in Gaza filmed by 22 local and independent Palestinian filmmakers, amplifying voices often silenced and stories too often overlooked. Through intimate footage and perspectives, the film offers a deeper understanding of the lived realities under occupation, the strength of community, and the ongoing struggle for justice.
Programme:
๐ Doors Open: 6.00 PM
๐ Communal Feast: Served from 6:00 to 7:00 PM
๐ Film Screening: 7:00 to 9:00 PM
We invite you to an evening of shared food, thoughtful cinema, and space for connection and conversation. Together, we reflect on global struggles for freedom, and how communities near and far can stand in solidarity.
We understand this is a difficult subject which is why we have a zero tolerance to any abusive behaviour or hate speech during our discussions. We honour all voices and provide a safe space for respectful free speech.
Thank you to our partners Helston Climate Action Group, XR Helston, South Kerrier Alliance, Helston Town Council, and WI Climate Ambassador Jane for supporting 99p Films to bring our social cinema screenings to Helston.
