Still Time Cinema Presents - Funeral Parade of Roses
Wharf Chambers, Leeds, LS2 7EQ
Sunday 6th September 2026
Join Still Time Cinema as we present the Japanese New Wave Classic Funeral Parade of Roses as part of the Scalarama Film Festival. From the mind of visionary director Toshio Matsumoto, the story follows Eddie, a trans woman working at an underground gay bar in 60s Tokyo. The story loosely adapts Greek Tragedy and uses avant-garde techniques to offer an unparalleled look at under-represented groups in a rapidly changing society, as well as redefine what cinema can be.
Being one of the first explorations of transness in cinema, we are honoured to bring this film to Wharf.
Content warning for scenes of graphic violence and sex, incest, themes of suicide and transphobic language.
