The next ORIGINS event is here!
Join us on Thursday 4th June 2026 at COLONY's new King St venue in Manchester for an evening of unforgettable cinema, creativity, and connection. Expect a handpicked programme of short films from emerging and established voices - stories that move, challenge, and inspire.
But ORIGINS is more than just a screening night. It’s a space where filmmakers, artists, and creatives of all backgrounds can meet, mingle, and spark new collaborations. Whether you’re a director, designer, producer, or simply a lover of great storytelling, you’ll feel right at home here.
Drinks and snacks are on us, just bring your curiosity (and maybe a mate or two). 🍿
All profits from ticket sales go straight back into future ORIGINS events. If you’re on a tighter budget, don’t worry - lower-cost and free tickets are available. Your presence matters more than the price. 💫
Stay tuned on Instagram over the coming weeks as we announce January's film line-up and special guests.
ORIGINS is brought to you by Luke Oliveira-Davies of Polari and COLONY CoWork.
