Rare Giants

***ANNOUNCEMENT***

We have withdrawn our involvement with the SHU Fest screening of Girlfriends in solidarity with the ongoing UCU strike action.

Despite trying to negotiate a different date with our co-organisers, they have decided to continue with the screening on 5 March due to advertising and licensing.

The film screening will go ahead, but we will not be present and don't consider this a Rare Giants event.
