THE SALT PATH is the profound true story of husband and wife, Raynor (Gillian Anderson) and Moth Winn’s (Jason Isaacs) 630-mile trek along the beautiful but rugged Cornish, Devon and Dorset coastline.

After being forcibly removed from their home, they make the desperate decision to walk in the hope that, in nature, they will find solace and a sense of acceptance. With depleted resources, only a tent and some essentials between them, every step along the path is a testament to their growing strength and determination. THE SALT PATH is a journey that is exhilarating, challenging, and liberating in equal measure - a portrayal of home, how it can be lost and rediscovered in the most unexpected ways.

"With understated performances from Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs, as well as immersive land and soundscapes that enhance the thematic pull, this portrait of loss, humanity and rebirth makes it worth the emotional investment." Courtney Howard, Variety

Academy Award®-winning director Danny Boyle and Academy Award®-nominated writer Alex Garland reunite for 28 Years Later, a terrifying new story set in the world created by 28 Days Later.

It’s been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected. One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily-defended causeway. When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders, and horrors that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors as well.

Starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jack O'Connell, Ralph Fiennes, Jodie Comer, Alfie Williams, Erin Kellyman, Edvin Ryding

Agathe, hopelessly clumsy yet charming, and full of contradictions, dreams of experiencing

love akin to a Jane Austen novel. Instead she finds herself stuck in desperate singlehood,

spending her days working in the legendary British bookshop, Shakespeare & Co in Paris,

rather than pursuing her own ambitions of becoming a novelist. But when an unexpected

invitation to the Jane Austen Writers' Residency in England lands in her lap, Agathe is in for

an eye-opening and life-changing experience.

Encouraged to confront her insecurities and explore her true romantic, sexual and creative nature, in part thanks to her eccentric co-residents, Agathe realises it’s time to stop wasting her sentimental life and take control - over both her writing aspirations, and her very own love story.

Starring Camille Rutherford (Anatomy of a Fall), Pablo Pauly (The French Dispatch) and

Charlie Anson (Death on the Nile), Jane Austen Wrecked My Life is an uplifting and heart-

warming throwback to classic romance, with a modern sensibility, marking the directorial

debut of acclaimed screenwriter Laura Piani.

Old tensions resurface as Charles tries desperately to salvage his dream gig.

"Tim Key, Tom Basden and Carey Mulligan are a disarmingly delightful trio in a quirky and music-filled comedy set on picturesque Welsh shores." Tomris Laffly, Variety

Georges, a well-known literary talk show host, shrugs off the mysterious messages, but Anne grows increasingly distressed and fearful for their teenage son. She grows to suspect that an incident in Georges' past is behind the increasing torment.

Based on a true story, WORDS OF WAR follows world-renowned journalist and human rights activist Anna Politkovskaya (Maxine Peake) on her brave crusade, fighting to be an independent voice of truth for the Russian people, putting her own life in jeopardy despite numerous acts of intimidation and violence. While Anna was ultimately silenced, her legacy lives on and her story serves as a reminder of the dangers that journalists face and the importance of protecting their right to report the news without fear of death or reprisal.

"Peake is a force to be reckoned with as late Russian journalist Politkovskaya in this powerful biographical drama." Kat Halstead, Common Sense Media

Follow ecologist Matty Hannon on an extraordinary solo expedition as he leaves the trappings of city life behind to embrace the raw beauty of the Americas. Surfing his way along the west coast, Matty’s daring voyage takes him from the icy wilderness of Alaska to the rugged tip of Patagonia. However, just as the dangers of isolation begin to take their toll, fate intervenes. Matty meets Heather Hillier, a spirited permaculture farmer, who dares to abandon her own comforts to join him on his 50,000km odyssey.

Riding south on motorbike and horseback, their adventure transforms into something far greater. From encounters with Zapatista rebels and Amazonian shamans to Mapuche leaders whose powerful words challenge their cultural perceptions, the couple’s journey becomes a raw and moving reflection on human connection, environmental stewardship, and self-discovery.

"This film is part of a growing movement for the rights of nature, animal and non-animal." Stephen Romei, The Australian

Using their social status and harsh punishments, a baron (Ulrich Tukur), a doctor (Rainer Bock) and a pastor (Burghart Klaussner) rule over a small German village. One day, the doctor falls off his horse after it trips over a wire strung between two trees. More pranks follow, seemingly without reason, all directed at the village's upper class and growing increasingly more brutal with time. There are no suspects, but a local schoolteacher (Christian Friedel) has his suspicions.

"It's [Haneke's] least aggressive and most mature film - a masterpiece from a director who is increasingly making a habit of them." Dave Calhounn, Time Out

The directorial debut from award-winning screenwriter Rebecca Lenkiewicz (Ida, Disobedience), HOT MILK is an intimate exploration of self-discovery, desire, and the complex bonds that shape us.

Set against the sun-drenched Spanish coast, a young woman discovers that the people in her life - her ailing mother, and a mysterious lover - may not be exactly who she thought they were. Secrets, lies, and revelations lead her to doors that might be best left unopened.

Based on the acclaimed novel by Deborah Levy and featuring compelling performances from Emma Mackey, Fiona Shaw and Vicky Krieps, this is a vivid and evocative look at liberation and longing.

"Rarely has maternal trauma been so well-dramatised on the big screen with zest, humour, and genuine appreciation of the ambivalence baked into these relationships." Savina Petkova, The Film Stage

Inspired by an incredible true story set against the backdrop of a country torn by conflict, FROM HILDE, WITH LOVE is a powerful tale of love and resistance.

Code Unknown is one of the films we're showing as part of COMPLICIT: A MICHAEL HANEKE RETROSPECTIVE

CineBooth returns to The Arthouse with six bold and brilliant shorts from across the globe. Grief, absurdity, control and superstition sit side by side in this rich new volume, including one award-winning animation.

We open with Echo (Belgium), written and directed by Charly Delporte. A woman wanders through a landscape haunted by memory, piecing together fragments of a past that keeps slipping away. Quietly devastating, it is a haunting portrait of grief and disconnection.

Next is Side by Side (Iran) by Amir Raisian. A poor man tries to bury his father in another city, but the locals refuse, suspicious of his father’s past. Left with no options, he lays him to rest in a refrigerator box. A surreal and tragic debut with quiet political weight.

Third is The Farm (Brazil and UK) by Leo Villares. An English couple arrive at a remote Brazilian retreat to fix their relationship, only to discover it is an experimental therapy centre run by an eccentric guru. What begins as healing becomes a warped power struggle. Funny, tense and sun-soaked in all the wrong ways.

We break here. Grab a drink, stretch your legs, meet someone new. No ads. No filler. Just time to breathe.

The second half opens with Blue River (China) by Jia Zitong. Young Miaomiao discovers her classmate Geng Hao can bring the dead back to life. She asks him to revive her mother, unknowingly triggering a plan he has kept hidden deep inside. Strange, quiet and full of sorrow.

Then comes Jus d’orange (France) by Alexandre Athané. Toni loves his oranges. They are his treasure. Until one day, cargo ships arrive carrying green oranges. Absurd, hand-crafted and completely singular, this award-winning animation is a surreal fable of nature, change and quiet rebellion.

We close the night with Visitation (Germany) by Christian Skibinski. A woman takes shelter in a remote house deep in the woods, but something else is already there. Bleak, brutal and beautifully paced, it is a slow descent into psychological horror.

This is one of CineBooth’s most international lineups to date, with voices from Belgium, Iran, Brazil, China, France and Germany.

The full programme runs 1 hour and 13 minutes, including a short interval.
