October Gallery

London WC1N 3AL

Overview

A Man Within is an unflinching exploration of one of the world’s first openly queer poets, junkies and challengers of censorship. Variety Magazine wrote “Like his subject, Leyser strives to disengage from the conventional, while still being lucid. He succeeds admirably.” It screened on over 15 TV stations around the world as well as on Netflix.

A Q&A with the director, Yony Leyser, will take place after the film screening, (duration 87 minutes). Doors open at 2:00 pm and the film starts at 2:30 pm. A bar will be open for paid refreshments in the Theatre from 2:00 pm to 5:30 pm.
