Join us for a special screening of Burning an Illusion, the groundbreaking debut feature by British filmmaker Menelik Shabazz. Set in early 1980s London, the film follows Pat, a young Black woman navigating love, identity, and political consciousness, as she awakens to the realities shaping her life and community.

A landmark of Black British cinema, Burning an Illusion remains a tender, urgent portrait of self-discovery and resistance.
