Academy Award-winning director Danny Boyle and Academy Award-nominated writer Alex Garland reunite for 28 Years Later. It’s been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected. One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily-defended causeway. When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders, and horrors that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors as well.

Stick Mareebo Productions and TPH present BAM BAM - The Sister Nancy Story. Sister Nancy’s iconic track “Bam Bam” has left a mark on music since taking the industry by storm in 1982, but what do you know of the incredible artist who laid her passionate vocals down to give it life? Sister Nancy is one of the most legendary Dancehall artists to grace a mic, and yet the understanding of her impact and legacy suffers beyond diehards of the genre. It’s time to rectify that. The song that has become a sample darling and star-making vehicle for many artists now brings into focus the trials, tribulations and rousing success of its original songstress. This special event (two shows only) will feature Stick Mareebo on the decks, Jerk Pan from The Real Jerk Food Truck servin' up the flavour on the street with an Original Jamaica Rum Punch on the menu.

When they are fed rancid meat, the sailors on the Potemkin revolt against their harsh conditions. Led by Vakulinchuk (Aleksandr Antonov), the sailors kill the officers of the ship to gain their freedom. Vakulinchuk is also killed, and the people of Odessa honor him as a symbol of revolution.

TPH celebrates pride month with the 40th anniversary of Stephen Frears radical MY BEAUTIFUL LAUNDRETTE. A Pakistani Briton renovates a rundown laundrette with his male lover while dealing with drama within his family, the local Pakistani community, and a persistent mob of skinheads. 'It was the film that gave great impetus not only to the career of Daniel Day Lewis but also to its director Stephen Frears, who'd actually made a couple of good films before this but this was the one that hit. Written by Hanif Kureishi, the British born writer of Pakistani descent it's delicious and ironic and critical in the way the Pakistani community is represented in the London of Margaret Thatcher.' - Margaret Pomeranz

In this astonishing doc by Oscar-winner Kevin Macdonald, John & Yoko let loose at their historic “One to One” concert and let their hair down at home in NYC. In the early 1970s, John Lennon and Yoko Ono spent 18 months in a small Greenwich Village apartment, absorbing the New York scene and, by their own admission, watching a lot of TV. Both things would shape the music they were making and their activism too – culminating in what would be Lennon’s only full-length post-Beatles performance, alongside Yoko: the “One to One” benefit concert at Madison Square Garden. Interweaving the incredible live footage – vividly restored and remastered – with a trove of candid photos and never-before-seen home movie clips, Oscar-winner Kevin Macdonald (Whitney, Touching The Void) immerses viewers in this fraught but fertile time in American history.
