1936. As villages across Mandatory Palestine rise against British colonial rule, Yusuf drifts between his rural home and the restless energy of Jerusalem, longing for a future beyond the growing unrest. But history is relentless. With rising numbers of Jewish immigrants escaping antisemitism in Europe, and the Palestinian population uniting in the largest and longest uprising against Britain’s 30-year dominion, all sides spiral towards inevitable collision in a decisive moment for the British Empire and the future of the entire region.

Do you love films, and love talking about films? Then why not join our Magic Lantern Film Club!
Our Film Club is a regular chance for people who love films to get together to discuss them.
Every month, we pick a few titles from our main programme, and meet to chat about it after the screening. The bar will remain open for those who fancy a drink.
We welcome anyone with a passion for films, from enthusiasts to aficionados or even someone who knows nothing about films except they enjoy watching them! We hold friendly and informal conversations, while also providing some extra information about the film, the cast and the director where relevant.
If you are on Facebook, you can join our Film Club Group. We use this group to learn more about what type of films you like the most, for sharing additional insights about the films we choose, as well as any suggestions you may have.
You can also email us at lanternfilmclub@gmail.com.

We’re thrilled to launch a brand-new season of Welsh language films and events in collaboration with We Learn Welsh – Iaith i Bawb. This year-long project celebrates and strengthens our connections with Welsh speakers and learners, both here in our community and further afield.
The FILM part of the season 'Sgrin a Sgwrs' is supported by Ffilm Cymru through their Film Exhibitor Fund, which comes from the National Lottery via the Welsh Government and the Arts Council of Wales. For the next year there will be at least 2 screenings a month of a film made in Welsh with hosted opportunities to learn and chat about the film afterwards.
Our programme will showcase a rich mix of storytelling – from animations and documentaries to shorts and feature films – including the eagerly awaited Tanau’r Lloer (Fires of the Moon), premiering this November.
Are you a Welsh speaker or learner keen to get involved? Do you belong to a Welsh language group that would like to collaborate on an event? If so, please get in touch with us or drop by the box office for a chat with Sara. We’d love you to be part of this journey!

Rydym wrth ein bodd yn lansio ein tymor newydd sbon o ffilmiau a digwyddiadau Cymraeg mewn cydweithrediad gyda Iaith i Bawb - We Learn Welsh. Mae'r prosiect blwyddyn o hyd yma'n dathlu ac yn atgyfnerthu ein cysylltiadau gyda siaradwyr Cymraeg a siaradwyr Cymraeg newydd, a hynny yma yn ein cymuned a thu hwnt.
Mae'r rhan FFILM o'r tymor 'Sgrin a Sgwrs' yn cael ei chefnogi gan Ffilm Cymru, drwy eu Cronfa Arddangos Ffilm, sy'n dod gan y Loteri Genedlaethol drwy Lywodraeth Cymru a Chyngor Celfyddydau Cymru. Am y flwyddyn nesaf, bydd o leiaf 2 ddangosiad y mis o ffilm a grëwyd yn Gymraeg, gyda sesiynau dan arweiniad lle bydd cyfle i ddysgu a sgwrio am y ffilm wedyn.
Bydd ein rhaglen yn arddangos cymysgedd gyfoethog o adrodd straeon - o animeiddiadau a rhaglenni dogfen i ffilmiau byrion, a phrif ffilmiau - gan gynnwys yr hirddisgwyliedig Tanau'r Lloer (Fires of the Moon), fydd yn cael ei dangos am y tro cyntaf y mis Tachwedd hwn.
Ydych chi’n siaradwr Cymraeg neu'n siaradwr newydd sy'n awyddus i fod yn rhan o bethau? Ydych chi'n perthyn i grŵp Cymraeg a hoffai cydweithredu i greu digwyddiad? Os felly, cofiwch gysylltu gyda ni neu galwch heibio'r swyddfa docynnau am sgwrs gyda Sara. Byddem wrth ein bodd pe baech chi'n rhan o'r daith o'r daith hon!
