Blitz (12A)

Sir Steve McQueen’s “Blitz” follows the epic journey of George (Elliott Heffernan), a 9-year-old boy in World War II London whose mother Rita (Saoirse Ronan) sends him to safety in the English countryside. George, defiant and determined to return home to his mum and his grandfather Gerald (Paul Weller) in East London, embarks on an adventure, only to find himself in immense peril, while a distraught Rita searches for her missing son.


"Its curiosity is its strongest suit, as McQueen’s script lays bare divisions that see working-class families barred from taking shelter in Tube stations, socialism taking root underground, and racism rife." Philip De Semlyen, Time Out

Memories of a Burning Body (15)

Raised in a repressive era where sexuality was taboo, sixty-somethings Ana, Patricia, and Mayela found their understanding of womanhood based on unspoken rules and implicit impositions. Now, their fearless voices are channelled into a single 65-year-old woman (Sol Carballo) in the present day. A collective outcry against taboos, their stories poetically combine to form a kaleidoscope of memories, secrets and hidden desires.


Weaving together the past and the present, this drama is centered on the experience of women and how they understand their sexuality at the different stages of their lives. From sexuality to love, and delving into education, repression, pleasure, motherhood and liberation, it tells the story of a quest to understand themselves as women in a world that limited them.


Described as the “conversation she never had with her grandmothers”, writer/director Antonella Sudasassi Furniss’ second feature film, MEMORIES OF A BURNING BODY, is a heartfelt exploration of female sexuality and an ode to women everywhere.

Bird (15)

The long-awaited return to fiction filmmaking from Academy Award-winner Andrea Arnold (American Honey, Fish Tank), BIRD is a tender, striking and extraordinarily surprising coming-of-age fable about marginalised life in the fringes of contemporary society. 12-year-old Bailey (astounding newcomer Nykiya Adams) lives with her devoted but chaotic single dad Bug (Barry Keoghan, Saltburn) and wayward brother Hunter in a squat in Gravesend, north Kent.


Approaching puberty and seeking attention and adventure, Bailey’s fractured home life is transformed when she encounters Bird (Franz Rogowski, Passages), a mysterious stranger on a journey of his own. A wondrous portrait of the transition from childhood to adolescence that remains grounded in her typically empathetic social realism, Arnold’s latest strides to the wildly poetic rhythm of her own drum.


"If ever a film puts its arm round a kid and says: ‘Don’t worry, I’ve got you’, that’s "Bird" and Bailey. She’s a character you feel Arnold would lie on railtracks to protect – and that’s a powerful, moving instinct to share." Dave Calhoun, Time Out

Anora (18)

Anora (Mikey Madison) a young sex worker from Brooklyn, gets her chance at a Cinderella story when she meets and impulsively marries the son of an oligarch. Once the news reaches Russia, her fairytale is threatened as his parents set out for New York to get the marriage annulled.


"It is a terrific performance from Madison, who owns the screen, and Eydelshteyn’s turn as the shiftless Vanya is also very watchable. Baker’s film-making is muscular and fluent." Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat (12A)

United Nations, 1960: the Global South ignites a political earthquake, jazz musicians Abbey Lincoln and Max Roach crash the Security Council, Nikita Khrushchev bangs his shoe, and the U.S. State Department swings into action, sending jazz ambassador Louis Armstrong to Congo to deflect attention from the CIA-backed coup.


Director Johan Grimonprez captures the moment when African politics and American jazz collided in this magnificent essay film, a riveting historical rollercoaster that illuminates the political machinations behind the 1961 assassination of Congo’s leader Patrice Lumumba.


Richly illustrated by eyewitness accounts, official government memos, testimonies from mercenaries and CIA operatives, speeches from Lumumba himself, and a veritable canon of jazz icons, Soundtrack to a Coup d’Etat interrogates colonial history to tell an urgent and timely story of precedent that resonates more than ever in today’s geopolitical climate.


"It’s a remarkable film – exhaustive, informative and rigorously researched, but also crackling with energy , ideas and formal daring." Wendy Ide, Screen International

The Divided Island (15)

As the 20th of July marked the 50th anniversary of the partition of Cyprus, the feature documentary THE DIVIDED ISLAND brings the ‘Cyprus problem’ back into focus, revealing untold stories and unravelling the intricate history that still reverberates today. Amidst the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, the world has largely forgotten the frozen divide that has left Nicosia as Europe’s last divided capital city. As a result of the conflict in 1974, the North remains largely inhabited by Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cypriots in the South, separated by a ‘no-go zone’ area governed and patrolled by UN soldiers. After 50 years of failed negotiations the issue remains today on whether the Island will ever become re-united.


THE DIVIDED ISLAND challenges the often hostility-driven narratives perpetuated by mainstream media, offering instead a pursuit of truth through deeply personal interviews - from those whose lives, homes, and country were torn apart, to the new generation of Cypriots yearning for peaceful reconciliation.


All screenings will be followed by a recorded Q&A.with director, Cey Sesiguzel, and co-producer, Andreas Tokkallos. On Saturday 23rd and Tuesday 26th November, Cey and Andreas will host a Live Q&A.

Layla (15)

Layla is a struggling Arab drag queen whose confident façade hides their desperate desire for love. When their performance at a belittling corporate Pride event turns into a transgressive takedown, they are surprised to catch the eye of marketing executive Max, whose attentions sweep Layla off their feet. The two start an intoxicating romance, but as Layla starts to alter who they are in order to keep Max’s interest, they both have to face uncomfortable truths.


"A Sundance-friendly indie romance rich with specificity and led by what could, and by all rights should, be a breakout role for Bilal Hasna." William Bibbiani, TheWrap

Point Break (15)

After a string of bizarre bank robberies in Southern California, with the crooks donning masks of various former presidents, a federal agent, Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves), infiltrates the suspected gang. But this is no ordinary group of robbers. They're surfers -- led by the charismatic Bodhi (Patrick Swayze) -- who are addicted to the rush of thievery. But when Utah falls in love with a female surfer, Tyler (Lori Petty), who is close to the gang, it complicates his sense of duty.


Kathryn Bigelow's 1990s cult classic is rarely seen on the big screen, so join Bodhi and Johnny Utah once again in the search for the ultimate ride. It’s a visually dazzling (especially in the new 4K restoration) and heady ride. Don't miss this 4K restoration - it'll take you to the edge!


"The film tries to show that surfers can be feral and violent in their own way, defending their turf, but even this is a different kind of brutality. It is such a strange generic welding, and is part of what has made the film such an enduring cult gem." Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

Doc'n Roll FF - Pauline Black: A 2-Tone Story (TBC)

Pauline Black, lead singer of 2-Tone hit band The Selecter, tells her extraordinary life story in the same frank manner that helped shape her as an iconic, era-defining female musician. Pauline had a difficult upbringing and joining the 2-Tone music movement in 1979 was the perfect catalyst; enabling her to explore and express all sides of herself.


Looking back at her own ground-breaking experience in this feature documentary, Pauline traces how her legacy came about and how it is relevant to the world today, especially where society pushes the boundaries of gender, politics, race and identity.


Pauline, of mixed Nigerian and Jewish heritage, was adopted into a white family in Essex in the 50’s. Her upbringing was defined by casual racism from within her own family. Pauline went on to find her own identity in the Coventry 2-Tone music scene and The Selecter was a reflection of working-class life in Thatcher's Britain, their music as social reportage and with an ethos of anti-racism and anti-sexism.


This is a cinematic and visceral documentary mixing intimate actuality, archive and interviews and a storming soundtrack. Contributors include Arthur ‘Gaps’ Hendrickson, Don Letts, Skin, Damon Albarn, Rhoda Dakar, Lynval Golding, Mykaell Riley, Sonia Boyce and Jools Holland.


On Friday 22nd November, we are delighted to welcome Pauline Black and director, Jane Mingay, for a post screening Q&A. The Q&A will be hosted by Indra Ové.

Cyborg: A Documentary (12A)

Artist Neil Harbisson wants to convince the world that technological enhancement of our senses is a force for good.


Born only being able to see in black and white, Neil yearned from a young age to experience how others feel the emotive power of colour. When he was 21 he had an ‘eyeborg’ antenna, that translates colour waves into sound frequencies, permanently implanted in his skull.


Together with childhood friend, choreographer and cyborg collaborator, Moon Ribas, Neil went on to establish the Cyborg Foundation and the Transpecies Society. These aim to promote the creation of new technological senses, give a voice to non-human identities and defend the freedom of self-design.


We are delighted to welcome director, Carey Born, for a post screening Q&A. This will be hosted by Jordan Kaltz.

In Mumbai, thoughtful Nurse Prabha’s routine is upset when she receives an unexpected gift from her estranged husband. Her younger, flightier and rebellious roommate, Anu, tries in vain to find a spot in the city to be intimate with her secret boyfriend.

The Zone Of Interest (12A)

THE ZONE OF INTEREST has been nominated for five Oscars, including Best Picture.


1943. Set in an austere, elegant villa whose garden shares a wall with the extermination camp at Auschwitz, the film focuses on a family of strivers, led by the commandant of Auschwitz (Christian Friedel), who see his position and the luxuries it provides them as a sign of their well-earned rise in society. The commandant’s wife (a chilling Sandra Hüller) understands full well how her privilege has been obtained, and she will fight any effort that would deny her access to the life she now enjoys. The Zone of Interest is a visceral indictment of our ability to ignore the evils from which we benefit.


Adapted from Martin Amis’s novel of the same name and written and directed by Jonathan Glazer


"The film is so well-made, so deliberately cautious about showing actual atrocities, that the imagination works overtime." Rex Reed, The Observer

American Fiction (15)

AMERICAN FICTION has been nominated for five Oscars, including Best Picture.


American Fiction is Cord Jefferson's hilarious directorial debut, which confronts our culture’s obsession with reducing people to outrageous stereotypes. Jeffrey Wright stars as Monk, a frustrated novelist who’s fed up with the establishment profiting from “Black” entertainment that relies on tired and offensive tropes. To prove his point, Monk uses a pen name to write an outlandish “Black” book of his own, a book that propels him to the heart of hypocrisy and the madness he claims to disdain.


"Elegantly walking a line between absurdist satire and family drama, this is a clever send-up of how the broadness of Black culture gets reduced to cliché." Kambole Campbell, Empire Magazine

Perfect Days (PG)

PERFECT DAYS has been nominated for an Oscar for Best international feature.


A highly anticipated return to fiction feature filmmaking from Wim Wenders (Paris, Texas, Wings of Desire), PERFECT DAYS takes the writer-director to Tokyo to tell a story celebrating the hidden joys and minutiae of Japanese culture. Winner of the Best Actor award at Cannes 2023, Koji Yakusho (Babel, 13 Assassins) stars as Hirayama, a contemplative middle-aged man who lives a life of modesty and serenity, spending his days balancing his job as a dutiful caretaker of Tokyo’s numerous public toilets with his passion for music, literature and photography. As we join him on his structured daily routine, a series of unexpected encounters gradually begin to reveal a hidden past that lies behind his otherwise content and harmonious life.


Combining a refreshingly unstereotypical depiction of the Japanese capital with a soundtrack comprised of iconic hits from the 60s and 80s, this is a subtle, shimmering and ultimately life-affirming reflection on finding beauty in the everyday world around us. Nominated for the Best International Film award at the 96th Academy Awards®.


"Sincere and unassuming, and owns its sentimentality with good humour." Guy Lodge, Variety

The Holdovers (15)

THE HOLDOVERS has been nominated for five Oscars, including Best Picture.


From acclaimed director Alexander Payne, THE HOLDOVERS follows a curmudgeonly instructor (Paul Giamatti) at a prestigious American school who is forced to remain on campus during Christmas break to babysit the handful of students with nowhere to go. Eventually he forms an unlikely bond with one of them - a damaged, brainy troublemaker (newcomer Dominic Sessa) - and with the school’s head cook, who has just lost a son in Vietnam (Da’Vine Joy Randolph).


"Paul Giamatti is a grinchy teacher in Alexander Payne’s loveable answer to The Breakfast Club." Philip De Semlyen, Time Out

La Chimera (15)

An enchanting romantic adventure, an ethereal spiritual journey and a ripping heist movie like no other, the captivating new fable of lost love from Alice Rohrwacher ('Happy As Lazzaro', 'The Wonders') – the best received of her career to date - follows a young British archaeologist who gets caught up in an international network dealing in stolen Italian artefacts.


Tuscany, early 1980s. Arthur (a revelatory Josh O’Connor, 'The Crown') has just been released from a short stint in prison. During his earlier studies in the region, he fell in love with Beniamina, the daughter of an aging local aristocrat (Isabella Rossellini), but she’s now gone. Arthur has fallen in with the Tombaroli, a rowdy crew of twenty-somethings who pretend to make their living as farmers and entertainers, but instead pilfer the area’s ancient Etruscan tombs for earthenware and ornaments to sell on the black market, hoping to one day strike it rich…


Premiering to major success at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, Rohrwacher’s rule-breaking, magical film uncovers a world of wonders just below the surface. LA CHIMERA is a mesmerising ode to the fragility of the beautiful things in life, and a cautionary tale about how easily they can be lost.

Poor Things (18)

POOR THINGS has been nominated for 11 Oscars, including Best Picture.


From filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos and producer Emma Stone comes the tale of the fantastical evolution of Bella Baxter (Stone), a young woman brought back to life by the brilliant and unorthodox scientist Dr. Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe). Under Baxter’s protection, Bella is eager to learn. Hungry for the worldliness she is lacking, Bella runs off with Duncan Wedderburn (Mark Ruffalo), a slick and debauched lawyer, on a whirlwind adventure across the continents. Free from the prejudices of her times, Bella grows steadfast in her purpose to stand for equality and liberation.


"Poor Things itself is an equally – and brilliantly – surprising hybrid: a feminist coming-of-age story, monster movie and bawdy, foul-mouthed sex romp that the Greek alchemist has somehow forged into a masterpiece." Philip De Semlyen, Time Out
