+ shorts - Leeds Guild of Amateur Marxists presents a screening of ONE WAY OR ANOTHER (DE CIERTA MANERA, dir. Sara Gómez, 1975) at the Northern Market on Monday 14th September 2026. The feature film will be preceded by a short.ONE WAY OR ANOTHER tells the story of Mario and Yolanda, a young couple building a life together in the aftermath of the Cuban Revolution. Put together in an innovative and entertaining pseudo-documentary style with real Cuban citizens playing themselves in a fictionalised version of their own lives, the film explores the not-always-straightforward relationship between economic and social change. A high point of the radical phase of Cuban film-making in the state film company ICAIC, the film was sadly initially banned from exhibition by the Cuban government due to its nuanced portrayal of the Revolution, so remains under-seen. The film is also notable due to the perspective of director Sara Goméz, an Afro-Cuban woman who tragically died young during the film's production.Doors will open at 7pm with the film programme starting shortly after.This event is open to anyone aged 18 and over. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. Proceeds will go towards covering event costs. We will also be collecting donations for the Cuba Solidarity Campaign.Accessibility information is available from the Northern Market website:https://www.northernmonk.com/pages/northern-market-leedsLeeds Guild of Amateur Marxists is a member-led reading group and social club.
