The SCRUFF Screening: Paris 05:59: Théo & Hugo
The SCRUFF Screening brings the critically acclaimed French film *Paris 05:59: Théo & Hugo* to Manchester on Saturday 22 August 2026, offering LGBTQ+ cinema lovers a chance to experience one of contemporary European cinema's most talked-about releases. This intimate screening costs just £5, making it an accessible way to catch a genuinely important piece of queer filmmaking that's been making waves across festivals and art house cinemas. It's the perfect event for anyone seeking authentic, meaningful cultural experiences in Manchester.
Treehouse Hotel in Castlefield provides the ideal setting for this screening, nestled in one of Manchester's most vibrant cultural quarters where independent venues and creative spaces thrive. Castlefield's mix of historic canal-side charm and contemporary arts programming makes it exactly the kind of neighbourhood where this kind of niche event flourishes, surrounded by galleries, bars, and other cultural hotspots worth exploring before or after the film.
The 20:00 start time gives you the evening to enjoy the surrounding area—grab a drink nearby or soak up the Castlefield atmosphere before heading in. Note the 18+ age restriction applies. Arrive early to settle in and soak up the screening room's atmosphere; these smaller, curated events often attract genuinely engaged film enthusiasts, making for a rewarding communal viewing experience that's increasingly rare in Manchester's multiplex-dominated cinema landscape.
