A mainstay of the London art scene since his starry breakout in the creative

explosion of the 1960’s, Julian Sklar (Ian McKellen) has drifted into a cluttered, selfimposed seclusion. His two estranged children (James Corden, Jessica Gunning)

enlist Lori (Michaela Coel), a young painter and sometime-forger, to pose as a

prospective assistant and gain access to a fabled series of unfinished canvases Julian

has buried deep in his home studio, in a deceptive bid to secure an inheritance for

themselves.

A film by Steven Soderbergh.

Starring Ian McKellen & Michaela Coel.

"Terrifically exhilarating and funny, as bracing as a large vodka and tonic before lunch: fast, literate and funny with a key plot progression elliptically and unsentimentally managed." Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

Following the sudden death of her mother, young Alysia is uprooted by her father, Steve, in the search of a fresh start. Landing in 1970s San Francisco, Steve flourishes with the freedom to develop his writing and date other men. However, his bohemian lifestyle clashes with the expectations of parenting. As Alysia grows into a young woman on the cusp of adulthood, their bonds are tested in surprising ways.

Based on Alysia Abbott’s best-selling memoir and produced by Academy Award winner Sofia Coppola, this stunning coming-of-age tale stars BAFTA nominee Emilia Jones (CODA, The Running Man), Scoot McNairy (A Complete Unknown, C’mon C’mon), Cody Fern (American Horror Story), music icon Adam Lambert, Oscar nominee Maria Bakalova (Borat 2, The Apprentice) and Oscar winner Geena Davis (Thelma & Louise, Blink Twice).

"The emotion and intention behind the story, as well as McNairy’s career-best performance, make “Fairyland” an astonishingly moving film and touching remembrance." Katie Walsh, TheWrap

In Tuner, Academy Award-winning director Daniel Roher’s first narrative feature, Leo Woodall

stars as a gifted young piano tuner whose heightened sense of hearing draws the attention of

criminals, who see his talents as useful for opening safes as for tuning Steinways.

With his once-promising musical career over, he works across New York with his mentor Harry Horowitz (Academy Award-winner Dustin Hoffman), encountering a range of characters, including composition student Ruthie (Havana Rose Liu), with whom he forges an unexpected connection. Niki’s safecracking work threatens his budding romance with Ruthie and pulls him into increasingly dangerous territory.

Blending romance, drama, and the taut suspense of a heist thriller, TUNER also features performances from Tony Award-winner Tovah Feldshuh, Jean Reno, and Lior Raz.

"Writer-director Daniel Roher’s “Tuner” confirms that Leo Woodall is one of our most charismatic young stars." Kyle Smith, Wall Street Journal

In times of rising fascism and needless war, artists turn to cinema as a weapon of self‑expression, community, and resistance. Ours is not the first generation to seek healing through film, but we hope it will be the last that must. This programme honours the L.A. Rebellion, the group of African‑American filmmakers who rejected Hollywood’s constraints during an era of uprising and instead built a cinematic language rooted in liberation and

community care.

We bring together two films, L.A. Rebellion: A Cinematic Movement (2025, 56m) and Don’t Be Long, Little Bird (2025, 23m), to illuminate the lineage between the original L.A.Rebellion artists and contemporary Palestinian filmmaker Reem Jubran, who continues that legacy today. Together, these works create a dialogue across generations, geographies, and liberation movements.

The screenings will be followed by a panel discussion with director, Reem Jubran and guests.

Kapodistrias is a historical film set in the early 19th century and tells the true story of Greece’s greatest politician and first Governor, Ioannis Kapodistrias, after the country’s liberation from the Ottoman Empire.

With courage, kindness, and dignity, he defends every person’s freedom, sacrificing even the great love of his life, and does not hesitate to confront the forces of evil—giving up wealth, glory, and international recognition.

When Greece gains its freedom, Kapodistrias is called to assume office as its first Governor. Although he senses he will be assassinated, he accepts his fate without complaint and sacrifices himself, serving his homeland with faith and devotion. This sacrifice leads him to true freedom.

Directed and produced by internationally acclaimed filmmaker Yannis Smaragdis.

Expect beloved Minogue anthems reimagined through a Weimar lens—shadowy, provocative, and deeply theatrical.

Accompanied by the virtuosic piano arrangements of Karen Newby.

You may not know it yet, but you have already been Minogued. And you may ask yourself: Wait! What is this? A cult? Well…
