  • Rosalie - Sunday 6th October 5pm

    30 September 2024


    In Rosalie a marriage of convenience hits its first snag when the bride removes her clothes. A story based on the first 'bearded lady' carnival acts, this tries to bring a feminist angle when Rosalie 'comes out' in the café they run. She decides to throw off the humiliation and bets a customer she can grow a better beard than him.

    "A very watchable, offbeat slice of period drama." - Leslie Felperin, Hollywood Reporter

  • Kinds of Kindness Sunday 29th September 5pm

    23 September 2024


    Lanthimos is back with Kinds of Kindness and Emma Stone and Willem Dafoe. Whether you liked 'Poor Things' or not, it certainly made the Oscar news, but his latest film is more in line with his earlier 'The Lobster' or 'Dogtooth'. 
    "If you enjoy films that explain it all for you, then let me do you a kindness and say that 'Kinds of Kindness' is not for you. But if you like the kind of challenge that exasperates as often as it entertains, then this mesmerizing mindbender is just the provocation you need. It's your choice" -Peter Travers, ABC News. 

    How could we NOT show it?!


  • Next Sohee - Sunday 22nd September 5pm

    16 September 2024


    Sohee is a bright high school pupil, studying pet care when her school work-experience teacher gets her a 'plumb' job working in a call centre. She takes the job with enthusiasm, but is soon worn down by the high pressure and lack of support, gradually crushing her spirit until she can take it no more...

    "There's a real sense of fury behind this film... The problem at its core is systemic but [director] Jung makes a strong case to the effect that it must be addressed with the same vigour as one would expect if individuals were causing equivalent harm. Sohee is broken to the point where she cannot see any hope. Oh likewise makes some bleak discoveries, but her attitude – as someone older with a stronger sense of possibility – is very different. Next Sohee speaks for people who do not have a voice, and it does so eloquently". Jennie Kermode, Eye For Film

  • Rose - Sunday 15th September 5pm

    9 September 2024

    Our opening night starts with free drinks from 4.30pm, so do get there nice and early to see your friends. We start with Rose from Denmark.

    The story of two sisters, Inger and Ellen, and how their relationship is challenged on a highly anticipated coach trip to Paris. When Inger announces her struggles with mental health to the group, the sisters are faced with pity from some and discrimination from others. On arrival in Paris, it soon becomes clear that Inger has a hidden agenda. ROSE is a film about love and care for each other, in spite of our differences, as much as it is a film about not judging a book by its cover.

    "Gråbøl is superb throughout, recognising Inger as a complicated individual who has a lot more going on than just her illness." - Jennie Kermode, Eye for Film
