In July at Transmissions we paint a portrait of family across five very different films about bonds of blood strained by pain and distance, strengthened through strange magic, tested by institutions and outside threats, and rediscovered in unlikely ways.
Join us each week for stories of Mothers, Fathers, Daughters, Sons.
On night one we screen Maren Ade's critically acclaimed comic drama Toni Erdmann (2016) starring Sandra Hüller (Anatomy of a Fall, The Zone of Interest) as a workaholic businesswoman whose father assumes a preposterous alter ego in the hopes of reconnecting with her.
Hilarious, surprising, and deeply human, we invite viewers to let themselves be swept up in the peculiar excellence of a film about finding unusual routes to understanding one another.
Find us cosy in our basement home downstairs at Dalston Superstore for another night at the movies by and for London's trans film lovers.
You have to do this or that, but meanwhile life is just passing by
Subtitles will be displayed throughout the film, and there will be a 15min intermissions halfway through.
Seating is a mixture of benches, backed chairs, bar stools, and floor space, and is first come, first served.
