The Summer Book follows an intergenerational family spending a transformative summer at their rustic vacation home on an unspoiled, remote island in the Gulf of Finland. Adapted from Tove Jansson’s beloved novel, the film explores grief, nature, and the delicate bonds between a young girl, her wise grandmother (Glenn Close), and her grieving father (Anders Danielsen Lie).

"Attentive to characterful details of accent and posture, Close plays this tender-tough old bird beautifully, resisting twinkly sentimentality while maintaining a palpably affectionate rapport with Matthews." Guy Lodge, Variety

Lady is an off-beat comedy about a lonely, narcissistic aristocrat (Sian Clifford) who dupes a struggling, opportunistic director into filming her every move. But her obsession with the spotlight takes a surreal turn when she starts becoming… invisible.

Blending mockumentary and magical realism, Lady satirises our desperate need to feel seen.

"Unpredictable, unique, hilarious (thanks in large part to Clifford) and mostly successful with its heartfelt moments." Daniel Allen, Loud and Clear Reviews

After years of slapdash sequels and waning fandom, the Camp Miasma slasher franchise is handed over to an enthusiastic young director for resurrection. But when she visits the original's star, a now-reclusive actress shrouded in mystery, the two women fall into a blood-soaked world of desire, fear, and delirium.

"Everything is a remake of a remake, Schoenbrun tells us, but Miasma is an utterly unique, exhilaratingly entertaining vision, both blood-drenched and beautiful." Laura Venning, Empire Magazine

Starring Gillian Anderson, Hannah Einbinder, Patrick Fischler, Zach Cherry, Jack Haven

Directed by Jane Schoenbrun

A 19-year-old Anthony Bourdain travels to Provincetown and stumbles into the chaotic world of a restaurant kitchen, setting off a summer that will shape the course of his life.

"With Banderas particularly touching as Bourdain’s unlikely father figure, Tony immerses us in this sleepy Massachusetts community and the character’s gradual artistic awakening." Tim Grierson, Screen International

Starring Dominic Sessa, Antonio Banderas, Emilia Jones, Leo Woodall, Stavros Halkias.

Directed by Matt Johnson

Joe and Angela’s marriage is on thin ice. When they invite their enigmatic upstairs neighbours for a dinner party, the night spirals into unexpected places. Have they reignited the spark or lit the match that burns it all down?

From director Olivia Wilde and starring Seth Rogen, Olivia Wilde, Penélope Cruz and Edward Norton

"Wilde’s latest slots into a rich lineage of hilariously awkward sex comedies. With a stellar cast finding alchemy in their contrasting styles, it’s daringly close to the bone and frequently fall-off-your-chair funny." Philip De Semlyen, Time Out

I WANT YOUR SEX tells the story of Elliot (Cooper Hoffman), a kind-hearted if unmotivated twentysomething whose fantasies quickly come true when he lands a job with renowned artist and provocateur Erika Tracy (Olivia Wilde).

When Erika breaks down office boundaries and takes Elliot on as her sexual muse and subordinate, their sexually charged relationship makes him question his own desires, boundaries, and relationships with his uptight girlfriend (Charli XCX) and repressed roommate (Chase Sui Wonders). As the stakes heighten and power dynamics shift, the film mixes satire, romantic comedy, mystery, and murder through the colourful and edgy visual language for which Araki is best known.

"Mr. Hoffman is proving to be an invaluable performer with a predilection for piquant-to-risky material. He and Ms. Wilde work off each other brilliantly, his naivete getting crushed by her sophistication." Kyle Smith, Wall Street Journal

Sundance Award winning comedy, THE INCOMER is a modern folk fairy tale set on a remote Scottish island, where two siblings survive by hunting seabirds, retelling the stories of their ancestors, and defending the isle from dreaded 'Incomers'. Their world is upended with the arrival of an awkward council worker (Domhnall Gleeson) who has come to uproot them from their homeland on behalf of the government.

"Writer-director Louis Paxton’s debut has the keenest of wits, and Rankin and O’Rourke deliver two of the funniest comic turns we’ve seen in a long time." David Fear, Rolling Stone

BAFTA Award-winner Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread) joins Aidan Turner (Rivals) in a striking new staging of Christopher Hampton’s celebrated adaptation of the classic novel, where among the glittering salons of the super-rich, one misstep can mean ruin.

Marquise de Merteuil is a master in the art of survival. Alongside the magnetic Vicomte de Valmont, they turn seduction into strategy and weaponise desire. But when their alliance collapses into rivalry, the battle between them threatens to destroy everyone in their path.

Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Marianne Elliott (Angels in America) directs this thrilling game of love, lies, and social warfare.

By Christopher Hampton

Based on the novel by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos

Directed by Marianne Elliott

Approximate run time is 3 hours with a 15 minute interval.

Hersh Dagmarr returns to the Arthouse and this time, it’s all French.

Paris, as Dagmarr remembers it, was eternal. The smoky cellars of Montmartre, the gaslights of Le Chat Noir, and the songs that made you feel the most romantic city in the world was invented purely for you.

Why did he leave though? Why did he move to Berlin and never come back? What exactly happened to him somewhere between the last century and this one? Tonight, he intends to finally tell all… Or most of it.

Paris When It Sizzles is an evening of French song — Edith Piaf mostly but also Serge Gainsbourg, Juliette Nourredine, Les Rita Mitsouko, George Bizet — and even some Frenchified numbers by The Pet Shop Boys and Kylie Minogue. With the brilliant George Webster on piano.

Convinced he is preparing his long-awaited comeback, Dagmarr conjures a Paris frozen at the moment he left it, in tribute to a life he refuses to admit is long gone.

Stories, songs, sequins, romanticism, and a dramatic phantom in deep denial. What more could a hot September Friday night ask for?

Please note: The Show will consist of two 40 minute sets with a 15 minute interval. Prompt start as no ads/trailers.

Award-winner Sandra Oh (Killing Eve) plays the title role in this razor-sharp reimagining of Molière’s classic dark comedy.

Telling the truth isn’t always that simple. Alice, a brilliant novelist, despises the carefully constructed lies of modern society. But the more she challenges those around her, the fiercer the backlash becomes. Soon, she must confront the price of speaking her truth in a world that would rather silence her.

Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Indhu Rubasingham directs Martin Crimp’s (Cyrano de Bergerac) highly anticipated play.

Cast: Sandra Oh, Paul Chahidi, Tom Mison, Jemima Rooper, Abigail Cruttenden, Poppy Townsend White, Teddy Holton-Frances, Gabby Wong, Francesca Fullilove, Imogen Elliott
