With special introduction and post film talk with Afrori Books.
Afrori Books is an independent bookshop based in the North Laines. They are the only bookshop that specialises in books by black authors in the South of England. Following a massive rent hike, they are now in urgent need of a new home. To help them cover the costs of moving to a new shop they have started a crowdfunder and are running a number of fundraising events. A portion of the ticket sales for this event will go towards the crowdfunder campaign.
You can also donate to their crowdfund here.
Saint Omer follows novelist Rama who attends the trial of Laurence Coly, a young woman accused of killing her 15-month-old daughter. As the legal proceedings move forward, the words of the accused along with witness testimonies begin to shake Rama’s convictions and call into question both her judgement and that of the viewer. Featuring an array of outstanding performances, Saint Omer is a riveting and utterly unmissable courtroom drama from acclaimed filmmaker Alice Diop.
