About Leith Kino

The Leith Kino film collective are delighted to be launching our new weekly film night at Leith Depot with Japanese experimental classic Funeral Parade of Roses from 1969. The film shines a spotlight on the ‘gay boy’ subculture of late-1960s Japan, specifically the gender-nonconforming hostesses of a Tokyo gay bar. At times shocking and surreal, Funeral Parade of Roses is a landmark film in both Japanese New Wave and queer cinema.

"A kaleidoscopic masterpiece, and one of the most subversive, intoxicating films of the 60s." (BFI)

Tickets cost £5 and we have allocated handful of free tickets for those not in a position to pay (available here). Please support your local Leith Kino!

Leith Kino!

A new, weekly community cinema night based at Leith Depot.

Join us for weekly screenings, celebrating films that are international, experimental, arthouse, trash, cult, a little bit strange, and maybe otherwise hard to see on the big screen.

Each screening will be introduced by a member of the Leith Kino collective and, importantly, there will be free (vegan) popcorn.

Drinks and refreshments are available to purchase at the Depot bar, alongside our monthly posters, each designed by a different Leith-based artist.
