Rebels in the Rubble Sunday Brunches

Season

Please note : this season finished in Jan 2015

In the immediate aftermath of World War II filmmakers were already telling their stories of resistance, challenging pre-war orthodoxies or depicting the blurred morality ensuing from the chaos of the situation. These four films are classic examples of the above from Roberto Rossellini’s era defining Rome Open City and Andrzej Wajda’s Ashes and Diamonds to the quintessential English constitutional challenge in Ealing’s Passport to Pimlico and finally the murky moral universe of The Third Man.

Tickets: £5.50 full / £4.00 concessions and get £1.00 off all meal orders £7.00 or over in the Café/Bar on the same day with your ticket. See our full range of menus here.

Conversations About Cinema: Impact of Conflict

Last year's commemoration of the start of World War I was cause for reflection on the scale and impact of that war and the immense global repercussions which still ripple 100 years later. The impact of a war, any way, is not confined to its dates, but goes far wider, far deeper, across people, society, places and politics. Impact of Conflict is a new strand where will will explore these effects through screenings, events and publishing - it is all about the opportunity for you to share your responses.

As an audience member we are interested in how these older films have resonated with you today. Do they raise issues which relate to 2015 or are they simple interesting historical artefacts? You can join the discussion by posting your thoughts on our noticeboard or tweeting using #convocinema or @wshed.
