One of the undoubted highlights of the spring film release calendar, Love Lies Bleeding, is opening with a special preview at Showroom Cinema on 30 April. In partnership with MASSIVE, who aim to give young audiences the chance to see some of the most exciting films of the year before anyone else, all tickets for the preview are just £5.

True Stories is a film about a bunch of people in Virgil, Texas. David Byrne’s first and only feature film follows the lead singer of Talking Heads, as he interacts with the members of the fictional town during their preparations for a “Celebration of Specialness”. Featuring karaoke nights, fashion parades, and a talent show, the film provides a window into the lives of the characters who make up the eccentric community.

Korean docs, indie rock and contemporary dance. At Showroom, we pride ourselves on a diverse programme, and April is no different. Besides the usual slate of releases and stone-cold classics, let’s look at next month’s upcoming seasons.

March is Women’s History Month, and whilst there’s never a bad time to showcase all the amazing women filmmakers whose work screens at Showroom, there’s an absolute feast of delights coming up this month that just have to be shared.

At Showroom, we believe that LGBTQ+ representation is important within our programme all year round, not just for LGBTQ+ History Month. Luckily, as we leave February, we have lots to look forward to throughout the rest of the year.

In an exciting venture towards cultural enrichment, Maona Art is proud to collaborate and work with Showroom Cinema to launch an exclusive African Cinema Programme, bringing the captivating narratives and vibrant storytelling of the continent to Sheffield. Maona Art was launched due to a personal passion and commitment to providing a platform for the rich tapestry of African Cinema to be shown.

The gardener and the painter have a lot in common. Both gather inspiration from the world around them, striving to transfer an idea in their heads into the real world. Both get mucky clothes and dirty hands, as they fervently tweak, trim and adjust their work to create an aesthetic world of their own.

Curated by a talented group of young people aged 16-19, the BFI Film Academy Young Programmers Festival showcases a diverse range of cult and classic cinema.
