Screening of LULÚ

GET YOUR TICKETS HERE: https://thecastlecinema.com/programme/112740/lulu-presented-by-cinema-mentire/ Lucas and Ludmila are young lovers living on the streets of Buenos Aires, navigating the city as if it were a board game. Lucas works collecting bones and butcher-shop scraps in a truck, spending much of his time roaming the city with a gun, firing celebratory bullets at city monuments and excited by the infinite possibilities around him and the sense of impunity that love affords him. Ludmila rolls around in a wheelchair she might not really need, avoiding her family’s responsibilities. When Ludmila finally makes a decision that leaves Lucas alone in the city, he will have to reconsider his behaviour and relationship with his gun. ***Lulú*** is a freewheeling and unruly film from prolific Argentinian director Luis Ortega, whose surreal cinematic language cuts through expected norms and tackles the tribulations of love, loyalty, and lawlessness. The screening will have a special introduction by [Cinema Mentiré](https://www.cinemamentire.co.uk/), a pop-up film club promoting Latin American cinema in the UK, and is presented in partnership with [Jellied Reels](https://www.jellied-reels.com/), which serves up monthly screenings of undeniable and undistributed cinema in London.

FREE Lesbian History Day Inaugural Launch

Lesbian History Day exists to change that, and this is where it begins.* A panel discussion bringing together voices from activism, archiving, education and the arts, on how lesbian history has been kept alive, who has been left out of it, and what it takes to make sure the next generation inherits a fuller story.

Spanish Film Festival: Los Domingos

Let's go to the London Spanish film festival at Cine Lumiere! The movie is 'Los domingos' in Spanish and Basque with English subtitles. Directed by Alauda Ruiz de Azúa, ***Los domingos*** (*Sundays*) emerged as one of the most critically acclaimed Spanish films of the 2025–2026 awards season. The drama swept several major ceremonies, taking home top honours across best film, directing, writing, and acting categories. https://londonspanishfilmfestival.com/los-domingos/ Please buy your ticket (£16) before RSVP'ing YES to this event. Sundays tells the story of Ainara, a bright and idealistic 17-year-old facing what should be a straightforward decision: choosing a university degree. At least, that’s what her family expects. Instead, Ainara reveals that she feels increasingly drawn to God and is considering entering a cloistered convent. Her unexpected announcement shocks the family, opening a deep emotional divide and putting each of them to the test. A poignant and beautifully observed drama, Sundays is a profound reflection on faith, family, and the deeply human need to believe in something greater than ourselves. We'll meet at 8.15pm at Cine Lumiere. We'll make our way to our seat at 8.25. My seat is H11. After the movie, we will go for drinks at the Hoop & Toy pub near South Kensington station. ⚠️No-Show Policy: The Club is run by dedicated volunteers, whose time is important and whose efforts towards keeping the Club active must be respected. If you don't show up to three events that you have RSVPed to, you may be banned from the Club. Always update your RSVP if you're no longer attending please.

The Alt/Cult Karaoke Night

We did one of these at the start of summer and everyone seemed to have a blast, so here we go again! This is open bar karaoke, which means you don't have to pay, you don't have to sing if you don't want to, and in theory they have a bigger range of songs than your average booth affair. Better all round, right? As before, we will be doing this at [the Britannia](https://www.britanniamonument.com/whatson) in Monument, an easy walk from London Bridge and The City and well served by train, tube and bus. They also serve food, if you need to line your stomach. Karaoke starts at 9pm so let's meet half an hour earlier, get a drink in and get (re)acquainted.

L is for Liquid History - A guided history walk along the River Fleet

**Join us for another one of (LoMAZ member) Richard Barnett’s epic walks. Always oversubscribed interest to these events.** *“He’s a bit of a legend!”* Clare (host) This time we shall be exploring one of London’s many lost rivers- the greatest of them all - the mighty Fleet. A prehistoric tributary, a Roman trade route, a medieval moat, an eighteenth-century eyesore and a Victorian sewer. The history of the Fleet captures both the potent symbolism and the stomach-churning reality of London’s relationship with dirt. Join us as we paddle – metaphorically – in the Fleet’s lower reaches, exploring the experiences of those who have lived and died beside it over two thousand years of urban history. **Read more here:** Richard’s website **[here](https://richardbarnettwriter.com/about_me/)** His podcast **[’Sunstreet Passage’](https://richardbarnettwriter.com/sun-street-passage/)** **MEET DETAILS:** **FROM 2.15pm: GATHER READY FOR THE TOUR** Address: Close to Kings Cross - details tbc closer to the time. **2.30pm-4.30pm: TOUR** **(TWO HOURS)** **Walk starts on time.
