March 12 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Our next community film @ The Cuban night is a special one: Screen B14 Short Films will take place on Thursday 12th March. This will be a screening of amazing local Short Films (7.30pm start time).
Screen B14 is Your Community Cinema and we want our events to be a place for connection, conversation and inspiration. We want to encourage an exploration of all things film and support lots of local filmmakers in the process.
February 19 @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm
Screen B14, PFI & Flatpack are proud to present a brand new musical imagining of Maya Deren’s “Meshes of the Afternoon” (1943), a quintessential piece of cinema history. Pianist, composer and synth maestro Piera Onacko brings her jazz-inflected soundscapes to one of the most important works of experimental film - expect a mesmerising, ethereal journey through the dark subconscious.
An additional musical performance will be followed by “Sisters with Transistors” (2020). This radical feature documentary, narrated by Laurie Anderson, tells the story of electronic music’s female pioneers, composers who embraced machines and their liberating technologies to utterly transform how we produce and listen to music today.
Meet Screen B14
Screen B14 is a not-for-profit community cinema collective founded in Kings Heath. We are a group of filmmakers, composers, readers and curators who think our local area deserves the best access to global cinema. We gather to form relationships rooted in local action and creative community. We breathe independent, and it is vital that we encourage the flourishing of irreplaceable local businesses in everything that we do. We screen the best of new and classic films, run short film nights that stand against the habits of networking and transactional events, as well as experiment with live scores and unique spaces: cocktail bars; book shops; dumpling cafes; vintage clothes shops.
We acknowledge the needs of our community, beyond the film-going experience, and collaborate with charities to raise money and awareness. At the same time, we believe that the value of our audience members is not related to their ability to pay (friendship ≠ finance). We operate a sliding-scale ticketing system, with no questions asked, and actively encourage people to adjust the price of our event to what is manageable (Free, £2+, £6+, £10+). We also ask those who are financially comfortable to consider their situation and pay accordingly. Community cinema is not without costs: for transparency, each regular screening costs us on average approximately £150-200 including yearly insurance and memberships (please do contact us for a more detailed breakdown).
Yours cinematically,
Screen B14 xx
