George Orwell was one of the most visionary authors of the 20th Century, whose novels 1984 and Animal Farm foretold a chilling, all-to-believable authoritarian future.

Acclaimed director Raoul Peck (Academy Award-nominated I Am Not Your Negro), working in collaboration with the Orwell Estate, seamlessly interweaves historical clips, readings from Orwell's diary, cinematic references, and dynamic modern day footage to craft not only a definitive portrait of the writer himself, but an entirely fresh take on how remarkably relevant and prophetic his work has become. Peck doesn't just present the information but shows new ways of seeing it, drawing patterns and connections we might not otherwise realise, championing Orwell as a man from the past who just might hold the key to the world's future.

"The writer became inspired to counteract his complicity in a corrupt system. The film inspires you to do the same." David Fear, Rolling Stone

Longtime retired couple Stella (Lesley Manville) and Gerry (Ciarán Hinds) realise that their relationship has reached a crossroads while on holiday in Amsterdam. After so much time and so many memories, long-held promises and deeply concealed wounds threaten to come to light and force them to confront their future.

"There is often something soft and fuzzy and depressing in the wrong way about these films’ lenient sunset-sentimentalism -- but not so with Polly Findlay’s fiercely sad, spiky and wonderfully acted film." Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

"Unkovski’s coming-of-age comedy finds much to smile about in a North Macedonian village where conservative traditions clash with modern times." Peter Howell, Toronto Star

From Iain Forsyth & Jane Pollard — the BAFTA nominated directors of the Sundance award winning 20,000 Days on Earth — comes Broken English, a bold documentary portrait of the inimitable singer, songwriter and icon: Marianne Faithfull. A survivor, provocateur, and true original, Marianne has spent more than six decades defying expectations — releasing over 35 albums while constantly reinventing herself.

Made with her full involvement, Broken English is an intimate and unflinching exploration of a

fractured yet unbreakable life shaped by fame, creativity and relentless public scrutiny. The film unfolds within The Ministry of Not Forgetting — an imagined, cinematic institution where memory and mythology collide.

Featuring a cast led by Tilda Swinton and George MacKay, with powerful, intimate

performances from friends and collaborators including Nick Cave & Warren Ellis, Courtney Love and Suki Waterhouse.

Broken English is a genre-defying act of resilience and rebellion. Marianne Faithfull’s final

fearless declaration — her defiant swan song.

"Broken English is not just a documentary about Faithfull, it’s a film which is fully infused with her distinctive spirit – it is free, candid and rebellious to the core." Wendy Ide, Screen International

From Academy and BAFTA Award–winning filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino, LA GRAZIA is a sweeping exploration of love, duty, and personal freedom.

Toni Servillo – winner of the Best Actor Award at the 2025 Venice Film Festival – stars as Italy’s outgoing president, Mariano De Santis, navigating moral and personal crossroads with the help of his confidante and daughter, Dorotea (Anna Ferzetti). With Sorrentino’s signature poetic vision and an evocative soundtrack, this heartfelt masterwork is an intimate meditation on fatherhood, conscience, and the enduring question: who owns our days?

"Ultimately, it is about the radical possibility of solutions, acceptance and going gentle into that good night." John Bleasdale, Sight & Sound

A feature length documentary about a historical, once in a lifetime concert which took place in Black Star Square in Accra on March 6th 1971 where some of the greatest Afro-American musicians of the time performed in front of 100,000 people as part of the 15th anniversary of the country's independence celebrations.

The original concert actually lasted for 14 hours - an hour for each year since Ghana had become the first African country to gain independence from Britain. Features live performances by Ike & Tina Turner, Roberta Flack, Carlos Santana, Wilson Pickett and Willie Bobo.

Featuring powerhouse performances from Stephen Graham and Andrea Riseborough, THE GOOD BOY is a razor-sharp psychological thriller that will keep you guessing until the final frame.

The film follows Tommy, a volatile 19-year-old who revels in drugs, parties and violence. After getting separated from his friends on a drunken bender, he is abducted by a shadowy figure. He wakes to find himself imprisoned in the basement of a remote Yorkshire house, inhabited by a very strange family. But what unfolds is not what he – or the audience – could possibly expect...

Part nightmare, part black comedy and part family drama – but always pure cinema – THE GOOD BOY is being hailed as A Clockwork Orange for the 21st century: a film that must be seen to be truly believed.

"This is a curious, unsettling picture, with parallels to A Clockwork Orange: in this meeting of monsters, Chris is every bit as repellent and inhuman as Tommy at his rampaging worst." Wendy Ide, The Observer

A happily engaged couple is put to the test when an unexpected turn sends their wedding week off the rails.

We know so little of the world beneath our feet. To most it is a place only of fear and darkness, though to a brave few it is one of knowledge and wonder to be found nowhere else.

Based on the bestselling book by Robert Macfarlane, UNDERLAND is a cinematic documentary that voyages into worlds rarely glimpsed by human eyes. Beginning in the shallow soils beneath an old ash tree, the film follows several ‘astronauts of the underworld’ as they travel into ancient sacred caves, flooded storm drains, melting glaciers, underwater burial chambers and a deep underground laboratory built to solve the mysteries of the Universe.

Narrated by Oscar-nominated Sandra Hüller, and with a uniquely poetic approach, UNDERLAND is a deep dive into the Earth that ultimately presents a groundbreaking vision for rethinking our lives on this fragile surface.

"Despite its scant 79-minute runtime, Robert Petit’s thrilling, unnerving documentary Underland plays like a sprawling epic about the scope of human existence." Siddhant Adlakha, The Observer

Please note: The screenings on Saturday 4th and Monday 6th April include a pre-recorded post-screening Q&A with the film's director Rob Petit and author Robert Macfarlane. The Q&A is approximately 23 minutes.

Winner of the Golden Lion Best Film prize at the 2025 Venice Film Festival, FATHER MOTHER SISTER BROTHER is the eagerly-awaited new film from Jim Jarmusch. Funny, tender and astutely observed, this is an intimate exploration of the universal intricacies of family dynamics. Starring Tom Waits, Adam Driver, Mayim Bialik, Charlotte Rampling, Cate Blanchett, Vicky Krieps, Indya Moore and Luka Sabbat.

Told in the form of a triptych divided into chapters set in New Jersey, Dublin and Paris, each story concerns the relationships between adult children, their somewhat distant parent (or parents), and each other. Blending remarkable performances from its ensemble cast with Jarmusch’s wry and idiosyncratic observations of everyday life, the iconic indie director’s latest serves as a timely reminder that you can choose your friends and your lovers, but you can’t choose your family.

"FATHER MOTHER SISTER BROTHER offers the familiar family hang — one that's authentically awkward, funny, and tragic." Kristy Puchko, Mashable

Based on the outrageous true story, CALIFORNIA SCHEMIN’ follows two aspiring Scottish MCs who devise an audacious scheme to achieve their dream of a record deal, by posing as Californian hip hop artists. As fame beckons and the lies pile up, their friendship is put to the test.

"It’s the oldest story in the book, but it’s made all the more crushing in “California Schemin'” because Gavin and Billy are so very convinced they’re the ones pulling one over on the brass." Kate Erbland, IndieWire

One family, the heart of the American dream. When wartime delivers profits for Joe, it comes at a price when his partner is charged with criminal manufacturing deals, and his eldest son goes missing in action.

Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) and Marianne Jean-Baptiste (Hard Truths) feature in this five-star, triumphantly acclaimed new production of Arthur Miller’s classic play, from visionary director Ivo Van Hove (A View from the Bridge).

Filmed live from the West End, Paapa Essiedu (I May Destroy You), Tom Glynn-Carney (House of the Dragon), and Hayley Squires (I, Daniel Blake) also feature in this disturbingly prescient play.
