Urchin (2025 British film with India Flame afterwards)

A young addict living on the streets of London is given a shot at redemption, but his road to recovery morphs into a strange odyssey from which he may never escape. Here is the film synopsis:

"On the streets of London Mike is hustling to get by. His slippery friend won’t pay up the money he stole, and before long he finds himself in trouble with the law. As he struggles to reintegrate into society, shuffling between gigs as a line cook and a trash collector, he must balance a newfound sense of community with his own itch for self-destruction. Played with tragic charm and a visceral magnetism by Cannes prize-winner Frank Dillane, this portrait of life on the margins offers a raw, anarchic snapshot of a slow tumble into oblivion."

We will meet in the lobby area at 7:00 pm - which is 15 minutes prior to the screening. I recommend eating a snack before you come. After the film we will head over to India Flame, across the street, to discuss the film and enjoy some delicious food.

Free parking is available behind the CIA building in Lot 73 as well as in the annex lot. Both of these parking lots are easily accessed from East 117th Street off of Euclid Avenue. Please use Entrance C or Entrance A to enter the building.

The Cleveland Cinematheque is located inside of the Cleveland Institute of Art (not the Cleveland Museum of Art).
