A man walks alone across open, cleared ground toward houses on the horizon, a bag over his shoulder. A still from Nowhere To Go.

The evening

A first look at Nowhere To Go in its final stages, ahead of its planned cinema release in Spring 2027.

6:00 – 8:00 pm

Film preview and discussion

Clips from the film, shot over four years in Poland, France and the UK, lead into a live discussion with director Liz Smith and guests.

We'll be joined by a special guest who appears in the film, who has made the perilous journey from his homeland to the UK.

The beach at Boulogne

The clips include footage from the last day of filming, shot at the end of August on the beach at Boulogne. It captures something extraordinary: a humanitarian crisis playing out in broad daylight on a tourist beach, the kind of scene you would never expect to witness in a place like France.

Liz wrote about that day in Living in a Parallel Universe.
