Weekend is perhaps the best British film of 2011 – a fascinating, intimate and moving film that has become a major cross-over hit in UK cinemas.
After a drunken house party with his straight mates, Russell heads out to a gay club. Just before closing time he picks up Glen but what’s expected to be just a one-night stand becomes something else, something special.
UK 2011 | 97 minutes | Certificate 18 “Andrew Haigh’s study of a temporary relationship… is eloquently directed, acted with conviction and, above all, written with a shrewd feeling for truth” EVENING STANDARD

Ann Lister lived an extraordinary life as a writer, landowner, industrialist, traveller and lesbian in early nineteenth century Halifax. She kept a detailed account of her life, loves and emotions in her diaries, which were written in code and have only recently been deciphered. The diaries form the basis of this drama and provide an astonishing insight into the life of the woman who has been called 'Britain’s first modern lesbian'.
This screening is part of Merton's program of events to celebrate LGBT History Month 2012. Admission is free and open to all. Note this film has been rated Certificate 15.
