Friday 24th January – No Other Land

No Other Land is a raw and urgent documentary by a Palestinian-Israeli filmmaking collective. The film exposes the destruction of the Masafer Yatta villages in the occupied West Bank, capturing the human cost as Israeli forces demolish homes to make way for a military training zone. The story unfolds through the courageous alliance between Palestinian activist Basel Adra and Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham, who together document this crisis with unflinching honesty.

We’re committed to showcasing stories that give voice to silenced communities and bring critical issues into focus. Following the screening, we invite you to join a reflective discussion on the film’s themes of resistance, solidarity, and the ongoing struggle for justice.

Be part of this evening of essential storytelling and reflection. Secure your tickets today.

SCA Cinema Club

At Soul City Arts we are heavily inspired by the aesthetic of cinema. We want audiences to be able to come into our venue and escape from their everyday lives when entering our spaces and be able to reflect on themselves and society. So we are introducing a new cinema club.

SCA Cinema Club will be a regular film club showcasing alternative narratives, classic storytelling, and blockbuster entertainment. Housed in a reclaimed warehouse space in Sparkbrook, Birmingham, we invite audiences into an intimate experience to share a love for local cinema and provide an opportunity for discussion over delicious food provided by our friends from the community.

Our aim is to bring the look, feel, and atmosphere of the cinemas from the past that once thrived in and around Sparkbrook, such as the Waldorf and Piccadilly, which served large audiences from the local South Asian communities. We believe that community cinema need not be a thing of the past and provide an affordable alternative to multiplex viewing.
