Layla (2024; Amrou Al-Kadhi) with intro + post-film discussion

Join the Film High Club for an engaging screening of Layla (2024), a bold and tender British romance directed by Amrou Al-Kadhi.

In this captivating film, we follow Layla, a British-Palestinian drag artist who fluidly navigates the diverse realms of identity, desire, and belonging in contemporary London. When an unexpected romance blossoms with Max, a marketing executive from a contrasting background, the film prompts profound questions about authenticity, assimilation, and self-expression. With a tone that is both playful and piercing, Layla invites viewers to reflect on the nature of visibility and the sacrifices it entails.
