SUMMARY:Counter Narratives
DESCRIPTION:Three acclaimed artist films offer new perspectives on being. \nArtist film has the unique ability to hold the complexity of substance use\, recovery and mental health without reducing lived and living experience to a singular story. With image\, sound\, and form it allows us to step into experiences beyond our own\, opening spaces for relational attention and dialogue. \nBringing together\, animation\, documentary and video art\, this screening presents three acclaimed short artist films from the UK and USA for the first time in a shared programme. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion exploring how moving image can represent substance use\, recovery and mental health with clarity\, complexity and care. \nCollectively\, the programme asks what moving image can make possible when recovery is approached not as a resolved outcome\, but as a lived process shaped by memory\, ambiguity and social connection. The films do not offer art as remedy; instead\, they invite a shared encounter with the visual language\, ruptures and repetitions by which recovery is lived and re-imagined. \nBook now\nAbout the films:\nSmall Hours (Dir: Oscar Wyndham Lewis\, 2026) \nNarrated by starring actor Robert Bathurst (Downton Abbey\, Cold Feet\, Toast of London) it has recently screened at Raindance Film Festival and the Oscar-qualifying In the Palace International Short Film Festival been nominated for best animation at Raindance Film Festival and four other Oscar-qualifying film festivals to date. \nThere Is No One What Will Take Care of You (Dir: Dina Fiasconaro\, 2023) \nMaking its UK debut\, this split screen video artwork explores the relationship between a father\, daughter and friend whose lives are tragically marked by substance use\, loss and emotional transformation. The film holds these relationships in tension rather than resolving them\, allowing proximity\, absence and responsibility to unfold across the screen. This project is the recipient of a Saul Zaentz Innovation Fund grant and has screened at the Maryland Film Festival and Zo Gallery\, Baltimore. \nMilk (Dir: Miranda Stern\, 2024) \nThis BAFTA-nominated short documentary explores a raw and intimate portrayal of maternal loss and heroin use. The film follows director Miranda Stern as she embarks on an introspective quest to understand the mother she never knew\, while navigating her own history of substance use. Drawing on connections between the brain’s opioid receptors and the nurturing comfort of breast milk\, Milk blends documentary\, archival footage and mixed-media aesthetics to consider personal testimony and embodied memory. \nAbout the artists: \nOscar Wyndham Lewis is an artist and animator based in Margate. Since graduating from the Royal College of Art with a Master’s in Animation in 2016\, he has since directed several award-winning short films and music video projects. His debut hand-painted film The Waves won the Scottish Mental Health Arts Prize and was shortlisted for a BAFTA in 2017. \nDina Fiasconaro is a Baltimore screenwriter and director whose work centres female characters and explores addiction and recovery\, marginalisation\, familial relationships and mental illness. She is a Professor of Film and Moving Image at Stevenson University\, and her work has been screened at a variety of national and international venues and film festivals\, including the Baltimore Museum of Art. \nMiranda Stern is a Glasgow-based writer/director. A graduate of the National Film and Television School (NFTS)\, Milk garnered a BAFTA nomination for Best Short Film in 2025. During its festival run including Clermont-Ferrand\, Aesthetica\, Palm Springs and EIFF the film caught the attention of the New York Times and now features on their Op-Docs platform.

SUMMARY:Oldham Comedy Club
DESCRIPTION:Oldham Comedy Club is back for another unmissable night of laughter with the UK's best stand-up comedians.\nLive At The Apollo and Man Like Mobeen star Tez Ilyas headlines with TV favourite Stephen Bailey (Celebrity Mastermmind\, Celebrity Weakest Link\, Madame Blance Mysteries). MC Mick Ferry (‘legend’ Jason Manford) is tasked once again to compare...and to keep everyone in line! \nEarly booking is strongly advised – these shows regularly sell out. \nThe comedians are all booked by Comedy In A Van. \nA regular on BBC One’s Live At The Apollo\, Tez Ilyas is also known for Man Like Mobeen (BBC Three) and Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.\nTez has also appeared on everything from The One Show to The News Quiz and\, of course\, his very own The Tez O’Clock Show on Channel 4. A phenomenally funny comedian who refuses to shy away from trickier subjects yet never forgets that the laughs need to come thick and fast. \nStephen Bailey\, a proud Northern\, working class\, gay man. Although well known as a TV presenter and actor it’s the arena of live\, stand up comedy where Stephen really shines.\nGossipy\, bitchy\, close to the bone even\, but with such an infectious sense of fun everyone gets the joke and no one is left behind. \n“Natural talent” – Metro\, “Rising star” – The Sun\, “Hilarious from the first line” – Voice\, “Fabulously funny” – The Guardian. \nYour compere is proud Oldhamer and Comedy Store and Frog & Bucket veteran Mick Ferry!\nWhether he’s running with a scatterbrained idea\, an audience suggestion or dipping into his extensive mental files of absolute\, top drawer gags and routines\, the end result is a barrage of laughter from a very happy audience and that is what we are all about. \n★★★★★ Mirror \n“Absolute legend” Jason Manford\, “As good as it gets” – Big Issue.

SUMMARY:Live@TheLibrary: Bookclub and Legacy
DESCRIPTION:Eyeline Theatre bring two amazing shorts presented by professional actors and directors. \n\n\n\n\nBook Club. by Philip Stiles. \nMaddie and George are newbies in a suburban avenue in Manchester. They join a local book club in order to get to know their neighbours. It's their turn to host. The evening hobbles along a tad awkwardly when a stranger knocks at the door only to turn everything on its head. Think Madame Arcati meets Abigail's Party! \nLegacy. by Patricia Cunningham. \nThat old chestnut - family feuds. Mattie\, visually-impaired\, is adamant that he will have nothing to do with his son Dominic who he believes has sold something very precious to him\, a gift passed down from his father and now to Dominic. Dominic\, a student\, strives to make contact. Mattie's wife and Dominic's mother\, Cathy\, is sandwiched in the middle and tries to act as go-between. Things inevitably come to a head. Will peace and harmony return or is this the end of the father-son relationship? \nEyeline Theatre and Productions\, a Community Interest Company works with experienced professionals and new and emerging actors and writers. We include mentoring and dramaturgy. \nOur monthly writers' script R &D workshops are very popular and productive for both writers and actors who read the material. \nDuring production rehearsals\, we open up a short window to the public for one hour to those with an interest in the art of performance. \nWe are dedicated to the creative arts and strive to bring artists together to network in a relaxed and enjoyable medium.
