  • No Other Choice Sunday - 8th March 5pm

    2 March 2026


    Park Chan-wook's latest is the South Korean entry for the Oscars this year. He has brought us some great thrillers - 'The Handmaiden', 'Decision To Leave' - and this is no exception, but this one is charged with comedy as well.
    "With humour blacker than black bean noodles, the film is a masterful work of cinema which might well be Chan-wook’s masterpiece. And given this is the man who directed The Handmaiden that’s saying a lot." - John Bleasdale, Time Out

  • The Voice Of Hind Rajab - Sunday 1st March 5pm

    23 February 2026


    Directed by Kaouther Ben Hania, Oscar nominated for her 'Four Daughters' that we had at the 2024 Festival, and produced by Brad Pitt, Jonathan Glazer, Joaquin Phoenix and many others: The Voice Of Hind Rajab has massive backing, and received a 23 minute standing ovation at Venice Film Festival. 

    "As cinema, 'The Voice of Hind Rajab' is formally extraordinary, superbly acted, beautifully shot, and shaped and edited with rare urgency" - Leila Latif, Little White Lies. 

  • Sentimental Value - Sunday 22nd February 5pm

    16 February 2026

    Another Cannes prize winner for you, the Grand Prize went to Sentimental Value and the film also has 8 BAFTA and 9 Oscar nominations. The BAFTA Awards are taking place the same evening as our screening so you'll be able to find out what it won after the film.

    It's a movie that sneaks up on you like great fiction, blending theme and character in a way that allows it to live in your mind after you see it, rolling around what it means to both the people in it and your own life" - Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com.

  • Rental Family - Sunday 15th February 5pm

    9 February 2026

    Another Members' Choice this Sunday with Rental Family. The 'dicey premise' is an out-of-work American actor, Phillip (Brendan Fraser), living in Japan, is offered a job: being hired out to pretend to be a friend or a family member - his first role is to be a mourner at a funeral. Why is he doing this? Because in Japan this actually happens! The comedy is very real, but so is the pathos - why would anybody hire someone to pretend to be their groom at a wedding..?

    “This is gentle, crowd-pleasing drama comedy powered by Fraser’s heroic comeback. It won’t break your heart — but it might quietly mend a small piece of it.” - Linda Marric, HeyUGuys
