A community film screening event at GalGael to commemorate the Upper Clyde Shipbuilders’ Dispute of 1971-72. In the summer of 1971, 13,000 Clydebank shipyard workers occupied their threatened yards for over six months and continued to turn out ships during this ‘work-in’, despite the bosses’ attempts to close the last four of the five yards in the area. Their campaign became one of the most powerful examples of worker solidarity in modern Scottish history. Clydeside Speaks will feature two films exploring the story and legacy of the Dispute, accompanied by contributions from poets, singers and activists. Together we’ll create space for reflection, discussion and solidarity, exploring what the dispute meant then and what its legacy might offer movements and communities today. The event is free but ticketed. The Clyde Gods Are Dead, Long Live The Workers (2025) Dir. Matthew Dunsmore. 5.44 minutes. Class Struggle: Film from the Clyde (1977) Dir. Cinema Action. 75 minutes. CONTENT NOTES - Contains flashing imagery, scenes of injury/images depicting maimed body parts.

Giacomo Puccini offers us the heart‑breaking story of the poet, Rodolfo, and the fragile Mimi, and some of the most beautiful pages in the repertoire. The director, Claus Guth, sets their broken love affair in space, creating a universe in which the past resurges in the form of hallucinatory flashbacks. “This intergalactic Bohemia has the charm of a dream as powerful as it is exhilarating.” Les Inrockuptibles “A salutary vision” Libération “The sets and costumes are fascinating” Le Monde To broaden access to major operatic and choreographic works in keeping with its public-service mission, the Paris Opera promotes the free summer screening—outdoors or in a suitable heritage venue—of an opera or ballet filmed in its theatres, the Palais Garnier or the Opéra Bastille.

Reinsve plays Nora, a successful stage actress who, along with her sister Agnes (Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas), reunites with their estranged father Gustav Borg (a mesmerising Stellan Skarsgård) – a once-renowned film director planning a major comeback with a script based on his family. When Gustav offers Nora the lead role, which she promptly declines, he turns his attention to Rachel Kemp (Elle Fanning), an eager young Hollywood starlet primed for her big breakthrough. Following the success of The Worst Person in the World, Joachim Trier reunites with Renate Reinsve for this profoundly moving film – winner of the Grand Prix award at Cannes – that explores sisterhood, father-daughter relationships and the power of childhood memories.

“Claude Chabrol’s Le Beau Serge (1958) is widely recognized as the foundational film of the French New Wave” The Guardian Francois comes back to his home village in France after more than a decade.

Francois now tries to find out what happened to him and tries to help him.

A graceful, penetrating study of a couple’s deteriorating marriage, set against the backdrop of a small Mediterranean fishing village. La Pointe Courte is both a stylized depiction of the couple’s complicated relationship and a documentary-like look at the daily lives of the villagers. “A stunningly beautiful and accomplished first film,” which has also achieved a cult status as “the first film of the nouvelle vague.” (G. Vincendeau)

An opera night on a giant screen: Verdi’s Macbeth comes to screens! Each autumn, Opéra en direct becomes an unmissable event for opera lovers and for those seeking powerful emotions. This year, Macbeth takes centre stage: the first Shakespeare adaptation set to music by Verdi, and perhaps the darkest. It follows the downfall of a power-hungry couple, set to a score of striking dramatic intensity. Far from traditional romantic love stories, Verdi focuses here on psychological depth and a fantastical atmosphere. The voice becomes theatre: that of Lady Macbeth, rough and relentless, shakes the conventions of bel canto. Filmed in Rouen, this opera will be broadcast live on big screen, in partnership with France Télévisions. A unique opportunity to experience, together, a great evening of opera, as if you were there. Formed in 2024 from the merger of the Regional Orchestra of Normandy and the Opéra de Rouen Normandie Orchestra, this 58-member ensemble is deeply rooted in its region and open to all repertoires, from baroque to contemporary music. Based in Rouen and Mondeville, it performs over a hundred concerts across Normandy each year, maintaining a strong commitment to artistic excellence in all formats. Actively engaged with local communities, it also leads numerous outreach initiatives, bringing music to diverse audiences. In Italian with French subtitles
