Join us for a special free screening of I Carry It With Me Everywhere by Other Cinemas and The Neglected Miracle by Barry Barclay at Massey University, with kōrero from Arwa Aburawa, Turab Shah, and Hana Pera Aoake on Monday 9 November 6:15pm-9pm.

I Carry It With Me Everywhere was informed by interviews with first-generation migrants living in the UK. This short film weaves together the lives of multiple characters as they confront inherited ideas of belonging. The Neglected Miracle is a film that forms the culmination of five years of international research into the question of who owns our seeds. This involves interviews with corporations, scientists and everyday farmers in the developing world. This was shot over two years in eight different countries. 

We are very lucky to be joined by Turab Shah and Arwa Aburawa of Other Cinemas for a kōrero before the screening. They have come all the way from the UK, so don't miss this chance to hear about the film directly from its makers!

This screening is programmed in concert with the exhibition Unseen. Unheard. Unarchived. by Other Cinemas and Friends, curated by Hana Pera Aoake. The exhibition is on at Enjoy until 19 December.

Snacks and drinks provided!

Arwa Aburawa and Turab Shah are an artist duo based in London. Their work is focused on gathering people together to talk, to learn and to create films. This gathering is facilitated through ‘Other Cinemas’, a project they established in 2019 which regularly hosts community screenings and discussions, as well as a film school for Black and non-white communities. Their films reflect on the forces which shape the communities they belong to such as environmental harm, displacement and other legacies of colonialism. They are also guided by questions of justice and how those in the margins create vital spaces for resistance and alternative ways of being. By combining community screenings and a film school with their own filmmaking practice, they seek to think expansively about the potential of film as a tool for radical transformation.  

Their work has been exhibited at LUX, Humber Street Gallery, Whitechapel Gallery and as part of the Brent Biennial ‘22. Festival  screenings include CPH:DOX, Dokufest, Hot Docs, London Short Film Festival (awarded Best Short Documentary ’25) and BlackStar Film Festival (Best Short Documentary 2024). In 2025, they were shortlisted for the Film London Jarman Award.
