So we’ve started a fundraiser to fix them. Check out the campaign to help us build accessible toilets. Every £1 raised is matched by Creative Scotland!
As part of our Crowdfunder campaign, Offline have curated a micro-season of our favourite films that prominently feature toilets. From the infamous ‘worst toilet in Scotland’ scene in Trainspotting to the trans protagonists at the urinals in Funeral Parade of Roses, and Helen Mirren’s passionate love affair that started in the loos in The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover.

upcoming screenings/events:
The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover
Date/time: Saturday 22 August, 7pm
Venue: Offline, 108 Niddrie Road, Glasgow G42 8PR
Peter Greenaway's notorious 1989 fable of gluttony, cruelty and revenge, staged like a grotesque painting come to life. Join us in our new pop-up Southside cinema in a converted warehouse on Niddrie Road for this special screening.
A gangster, his abused wife, and her lover in a restaurant that becomes the setting for one of the most visually extravagant and shocking films ever made. Cult, controversial, and rarely screened – for anyone who likes their cinema with teeth.
Certificate: 18 (graphic violence, strong sexual content, nudity – this is not for the faint-hearted)
Trainspotting
Date/time: Friday 21 August, 7pm
Venue: Offline, 108 Niddrie Road, Glasgow G42 8PR
Danny Boyle's era-defining adaptation of Irvine Welsh's novel gets a rare big-screen outing in the Southside. Join us in our new pop-up Southside cinema in a converted warehouse on Niddrie Road for a screening of Trainspotting. Renton, Spud, Sick Boy and Begbie remain as electric and uncomfortable as ever – a jagged, needle-sharp portrait of addiction, friendship and Edinburgh housing schemes that changed British cinema.
Offline is Govanhill's home for artists' moving image – an arts space in a converted warehouse on Niddrie Road. This screening is part of a short fundraising season for new accessible toilets at the venue. Tickets are booked as a donation via our Crowdfunder page, and every £1 raised is matched by Creative Scotland, so your ticket does double duty.
Certificate: 18 (hard drug use, strong language, sexual content)
Funeral Parade of Roses
Date/time: Thursday 17 September, 7pm
Venue: Offline, 108 Niddrie Road, Glasgow G42 8PR
Toshio Matsumoto's radical 1969 Japanese New Wave classic follows a trans woman navigating Tokyo's underground gay bar scene, told through a dazzling collage of documentary interviews, jump cuts and fourth-wall-breaking asides. A hugely influential film – it's often cited as a touchstone for Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange – and a rare chance to see it as it was meant to be seen: on the big screen, with an audience.
Certificate: 18 (drug use, violence, sexual content)
