Inna Wi Carnival

Immerse yourself in the legendary stories, culture and history surrounding St Pauls Carnival at this cinema evening presented in collaboration with Cables & Cameras.

Featuring a series of four short films charting Windrush legacy, Caribbean and Carnival Culture and Black Britain from talented black & brown local creatives, including:

Home Carnival Queen - A beautiful exploration of UK carnival culture seen through the lens of black women.

HATS - A story based on true events when a mother develops dementia and her daughter tries to find a suitable care home. It shows that the Windrush Generation and their descendants still need to wear different hats in order to fit in.

What? - A 1968 BBC documentary that covered the first St Pauls Carnival. Inna Wi Carnival: Reflections of a Generation - A St Pauls Carnival production which joins a conversation between local elders from the founding generation who recollect their memories and all that St Pauls Carnival means and entails.

A post-screening panel discussion will feature local people from the Afro-Caribbean community reflecting on this year’s Carnival theme ‘Learning from Legends’. Plus a Caribbean-inspired cocktail bar, food and entertainment for the full Carnival experience!
