One word for six films featuring images of motherhood, from the American melodrama to art house film and on to modern realism. In between we will find the mother both poetic and abject, but let us give them all our time if not always our unconditional affection. Giving birth is indeed an act of labour, and every child has only one woman to thank for their existence.
The season begins with Imitation of Life,
This season is dedicated to the memory of my mother, Aristi.

Cinetopia Networking Night is back again this month!

Our film networking events are all about building connections and community in the local film industry.
All are welcome, you do not have to have attended the former event to pop along for our networking drinks!
It is free to attend and there is a cash bar available for drinks.
*If you've not been to a Cinetopia Networking Night before, this is one of our regular nights for the general film industry to get together for a casual drink and/or chat. Started in 2018, we felt there was a great need to meet others across the city in the industry on a regular basis. Whether you are looking for your next gig or your next collaborator, we hope that these events will either help a bit in making those connections or merely just offer the chance to catch up with colleagues and crew members.
Please RSVP so we can let our hosts know how many to expect. If you have to cancel, please let us know so we can offer the space to someone else!

Px4M presents
Otis Jordan and Friends Tinnman Cod O’Donnell
I first met Otis Jordan in an abandoned bank in suburban Manchester. Otis was playing. He was like a sci fi dick van dyke. I got to see the old bank vault. There were many deep grooves where there had been attempted break ins.
Fast forward 6 years and he's just brought out a new album Net of Atoms on sept 13th. He played a solo show in March for PX4M but turned up instead with a 5 piece band including trumpet drums etc and somebody really playing the saw, not just making whibbly atmospheric noises.
He said some of the people will turn up to this show, but if they all turn up we'll somehow fit them all by the second hand books.
Tinnman is Finn who will also hit the skins in Otis] band, going ham on some bells he exhibited in the RSA. He's really good at hitting bells. The bells are all angular shapes and funny sizes like Wetherspoons pizza.
Cod's going to do his surreal horror folk thing. Possibly some cryptid involvement dunno make it up closer to the time.
