Happy World Book Day!

Our Creative Engagement Officer and Cinema Africa! lead, Mosa, has an incredible collection of film curation and Pan-African cinema books. To celebrate World Book Day, she is kindly making these available to the public by request. If any of them take your interest, ask our friendly Front of House staff to have a look at them while you're in the cinema (they can't be taken out of the building).
