What role can art play in bringing people together?

In a time when division often feels louder than connection, community spaces become more important than ever. Art has the power to create empathy, open conversations, and remind us of our shared humanity.

In Episode 5 of Phoenix Portraits, we meet Anshula Bain — actor, facilitator, and long-time member of the Phoenix Cinema team. Anshula shares her belief in the transformative power of art and community, and invites us to Unless the Water is Safer Than the Land, an evening of storytelling, poetry, music, and food in support of refugees and asylum seekers.

“What woman gives another woman a trip to Paris?!”

The only way to find out is to book tickets to our special anniversary screening of Paul Feig’s iconic 2010s comedy BRIDESMAIDS (15), showing this Friday in screen one.

Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Rose Byrne, Melissa McCarthy, Ellie Kemper and Wendi McLendon-Covey re-wrote the buddy comedy, and injected it full of pathos and gross-out-gags. This sharp takedown of maid of honour politics, culture and tribalism is not to be missed!

This event is co-hosted with .
