4th October, 6:30pm, Mammoth Cinema, 25 Broad Street, Nottingham, NG1 3AP

Community Cinema Kino Kolo Notts, specialising in bringing Eastern European Cinema to East Midlands screens, are delighted to announce their next screening in partnership with Mammoth Cinema, showing the incredibly poignant “HOME” by Polish director Mela Hilleard. Following the film there will be a multi-lingual poetry reading.

HOME’ is an attempt to answer one of the most vital questions in all our lives: what is the meaning of home?

The film focuses on family, identity, emigration, as well as the circle of life, death and rebirth. The axis of the film is a house which connects and shelters, which allows the lives of the characters to be transformed. 

Its inspiration was a seven-year collection of films and photographs covering the lives of a handful of people ejected from their own cultures and homes, who are creating home and finding love at the house of a 90-year-old, bed-ridden writer in suburban London.

Following the film you are invited to stay for a short poetry reading featuring work from Central and Eastern Europe with environmental themes. 

This screening has been brought to Mammoth by Kino Kolo Notts
