Become a memberCary Scott, an upper-class widow with two grown-up children, has a small circle of rich friends. When her friendship with Ron, a nurseryman, turns to love, she faces criticism from her kids and pals. In our post-screening session, we’ll dig into how Sirk layers meaning into every visual choice, how melodrama can be a vessel for subversion, and how restraint and excess can work together in storytelling. We’ll also look at how style itself can carry emotion and how to make design decisions that shape both the look of your film and, more importantly, the soul of the film. Cinema // After is a new screening and discussion series at Picturehouse Liverpool, created by Let’s Make Films for anyone who loves cinema and wants to see it in new ways. Each event starts with a film that broke boundaries; visually, structurally, or emotionally. After the screening, we stay in the cinema for an interactive session led by the Let’s Make Films team. This is where we explore how the film was made, the choices behind it, and why it works the way it does. You’ll hear insights, share ideas, and take part in open conversation about the film’s craft and impact. The sessions are designed for filmmakers, writers, artists, and anyone curious about storytelling. You’ll come away with practical tools, fresh perspectives, and a stronger understanding of how films can shape the way we create and think. This isn’t a lecture or a formal class. Instead, we’re creating a relaxed space for discussion, creative thinking, and learning from each other. Whether you make films yourself or simply want to deepen your love for them, Cinema // After offers a chance to watch great cinema and leave inspired with your local community. So, come and watch the film. Be part of the discussion and see stories differently.
