A special collab screening of the incredible documentary The Ball with Queerish!

THE BALL is a feature documentary narrated by ballroom household persona Jack Mizrahi. The film was in the making for over a decade. The House of Mizrahi has existed for over 30 years, creating a legacy for decades. With a glimpse into the life of a few, we get to experience a story of in-powering a culture that sheltered generations of LGBTQ members from social harshness, rejection, and homelessness.

This is a unique event from us, and our first cinema screening. This small independent cinema will host up to 22 seats making this an incredibly intimate viewing.
Please note the cinema is accessible from a narrow alleyway and has a small step at the entrance. For any accessbility enquiries, please email info@mammothcinema.uk.

Thanks to Mammoth - A Climate Action Cinema for helping us run this event. A thank you to Nottingham City Council for the funding to help us bring Ballroom culture to Nottingham.
Finally a huge thank you to Malgorzata Saniewska (the director of The Ball) for allowing us to use the film to help grow and inform our community.
