FILM: THERE IS A LIGHT THAT NEVER GOES OUT

Wednesday 15th July, 7pm to 8:30pm

RHACC, Parkshot, Richmond TW9 2RE

Tickets: £10, booking advised

The UK Aids Memorial Quilt, part of the largest arts project in history, helps us to remember and celebrate lives lost to HIV from the beginning of the pandemic in the 1990’s to the present.

This is a rare opportunity to see this film, a rediscovered 50-minute documentary about the 1994 ‘Quilts of Love’ display of the UK AIDS Quilt at Hyde Park Corner. The film was never broadcast, screened only once privately and was presumed lost for thirty years until co-maker Zowie Broach found a VHS copy in storage. It features Quilt makers and an interview with Alastair Hume who started the UK Quilt reflecting on the display, plus interviews with attendees including Michael Hutchence, Boy George, Neneh Cherry and Rifat Ozbek. It premiered publicly for the first time at Tate Modern in June 2025.
