miniciné at armley mills is a community cinema project bringing innovative and thought provoking films to west leeds and re-using the bijou Edwardian film theatre of the Leeds Industrial Museum.

our events take place once a month on every third thursday, admission £4. next screening Thursday 16 September:Double Take // Dir Johan Grimonprez / 80 mins / 2010

A tale of intrigue, personal paranoia and deception, Double Take uses archive footage and Hitchcock's own sardonic wit to explore the director's preoccupation with doubles - a recurring theme in his films - to virtuoso and entertaining effect. Positioned against the backdrop of the Cold War best-selling British author Tom McCarthy writes a plot to mirror the political intrigue in which Hitchcock and his elusive double increasingly obsess over the perfect murder of each other.
