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 afternoon

Clips from Nowhere To Go (sequences shot over four years across Poland, France and the UK) anchor a live discussion of what they reveal: how Europe's asylum system works in practice, and who it affects. It's a first look at the film in its final stages, prior to its planned cinema release in Spring 2027.

The panel brings together director Liz Smith, whose previous films include The Line We Crossed, The Conspiracists and I Am Gen Z; Rhetta Moran, a trustee of RAPAR*; and Kamuzu, who features in the film, with further guests to be announced. The afternoon will be introduced by Kate Hughes of Manchester Quakers.

*RAPAR (Refugee and Asylum Participatory Action Research) is a human rights organisation based in Manchester, working with displaced people and the issues they face.

Your ticket

Tickets are £10, and the money goes directly towards finishing Nowhere To Go and preparing it for cinemas. Everyone who books is offered a credit as a supporter of the film, though you're welcome to decline if you'd rather not be named. The long list of people who helped bring it to audiences carries a message of its own.
