"There’s a deliciously overripe, almost campy quality to much of “Private Life” that’s expertly balanced by the intense focus of Foster’s performance." Peter Debruge, Variety

Based on Virginia Woolf’s funniest novel, Night & Day is an un-romantic comedy about the

passionate astronomer, Katharine Hilbery who does everything she can to avoid romantic love

and marriage. Fun and contemporary in tone, this refreshing film showcases an ensemble of

humorous performances against the ravishing backdrop of London in 1910, advances in science and technology and crumbling Edwardian patriarchy.

"Brings wit, rebellion and reluctant romance to the big screen." Hey U Guys

Set on Vancouver Island in the late 1990s, Blue Heron follows eight year old Sasha and her Hungarian immigrant family as they attempt to build a new life, only to be destabilised by the increasingly dangerous behaviour of her older brother, Jeremy. Drawing on her own memories, filmmaker Sophy Romvari shapes a deeply personal portrait of childhood, family fractures, and the fragility of recollection.

Winner: Locarno Film Festival 2025 Swatch First Feature Award

Winner: Toronto International Film Festival 2025 Best Canadian Discovery

"It’s a film that seldom comes out and tells you exactly what’s happening, but its drama is so lucid that before any real tragedy unfolds (or is even hinted at), you feel it in your bones." Siddhant Adlakha, The Observer

Based on Gary Owen's much lauded and widely performed monodrama, Iphigenia in Splott, 'Effi o Blaenau' is director Marc Evans' cinematic interpretation set against the wide open landscapes of North Wales.  

The film follows Effi (Leisa Gwenllian), a young woman desperate to escape a town where the pubs are closed, the jobs have vanished and her grandmother works night shifts in the local chip shop just to get by. A chance encounter in a Llandudno nightclub with injured soldier Lee (Tom Rhys Harries) briefly opens a door to something better.

For a moment, Effi glimpses a life she never imagined. The reality that follows is far tougher.

"It is a tremendous performance from Gwenllian as Effi." Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

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

After serving fifteen years in prison, bank robber Anker (Nikolaj Lie Kaas) is determined to recover the stolen money his brother Manfred (Mads Mikkelsen) buried years earlier. There’s just one problem: Manfred, caught in an identity crisis and convinced he is John Lennon, can no longer remember where it is hidden. The brothers set off on an increasingly chaotic hunt for the missing fortune, digging up old family secrets on the way.

The 1993 festival. Unfiltered, unnarrated, and unlike anything else in British music film.

The year is 1993 — the last of the great old-school Glastonburys, before the BBC arrived, before phone masts, biometric tickets and wall-to-wall coverage. A hundred thousand people in a Somerset field, completely unobserved, completely themselves.

A group of young film-makers captured the whole thing in rich, glorious Cinemascope: not the headline acts on the Pyramid Stage, but the real festival — the stone circle at sunrise, the rave tents and wandering performers, the parachute games and the Krishna food queues. The Verve in their very first festival appearance. Spiritualized spending their entire fee on a fireworks display. Porno For Pyros. The Orb. The Lemonheads. The music, the magic, the midsummer madness.

No voiceover. No talking heads. No presenter telling you how to feel. Just Glastonbury, as it was.

Join us after the screening for a live panel discussion with director Robin Mahoney, actor and musician Charlie Creed-Miles, and actor and filmmaker Dexter Fletcher.

Please note: Prompt start as no ads/trailers

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. Will peacetime bring peace of mind, or will he be confronted by the consequence of his actions?

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.

"Bryan Cranston, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Paapa Essiedu and Hayley Squires achieve theatrical alchemy in Ivo van Hove’s superb production." Arifa Akbar, The Guardian

Approximate run time is 2 hours 30 mins with no interval.

Twenty years after making their iconic turns as Miranda, Andy, Emily and Nigel—Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci return to the fashionable streets of New York City and the sleek offices of Runway Magazine in 20th Century Studios’ “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” the eagerly awaited sequel to the 2006 phenomenon that defined a generation.

"Streep, of course, can sell the idea that Miranda has erased Andy from her mind with a single raised eyebrow. She’s staggeringly good here, spinning through Miranda’s Rolodex of stinging guilt trips and waspy put downs like she’s never been away." Philip De Semlyen, Time Out

Please note: The Devil Wears Prada 2 contains several sequences with flashing lights that may affect those who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy or have other photosensitivities.

With Iran and the world once again on the brink, COUP 53 feels less like history and more like a warning.

In 1953, a military coup led by British MI6 backed by the CIA overthrew Iran's democratically elected Prime Minister, Mohammad Mossadegh. His crime: nationalising the country's oil. The truth behind that original regime change for oil was buried for decades.

Iranian director Taghi Amirani spent ten years uncovering what really happened. Working with legendary editor Walter Murch (Apocalypse Now, The Conversation, The English Patient) and a gripping performance by Ralph Fiennes, the film unfolds like a John le Carré spy thriller — except every word is true.

"It is without question one of the greatest of all documentaries. Apart from its importance as a revelatory history lesson, it’s a masterpiece of humanity, thoroughness and consummate film craft." Mike Leigh - Winner of the Palme d'Or

We are delighted to be joined by Iranian director, Taghi Amirani for a post screening Q&A.

Prompt start at 5.30pm - No adverts or trailers.

Mother City is a deeply human, often heart-breaking and at times humorous look at the global politics of urbanism. Against the backdrop of a country celebrating three decades of democracy, Mother City exposes the deep fault lines that still exist in South Africa because successive governments since 1994 have not offered solutions to the most urgent and explosive issue of land and ownership, rendering generations of working class people homeless.

Cape Town, known as the Mother City, lies resplendent between the iconic Table Mountain and the icy Atlantic ocean.The story is told by Nkosikhona Swartbooi, RTC organiser and activist. For him the battle for housing is deeply personal. Raised by his grandmother in a shack in Khayelitsha, he saw the humiliation she faced as a domestic worker in Sea Point. Mother City documents, over six years, how he grows from a young activist to a father trying to balance his political work with family commitments. It is a classic David and Goliath battle as activists take on property power and politics in a city still disfigured by spatial apartheid.

The screening will be followed by a live Q&A with the filmmakers.

Please note: Prompt start as no ads or trailers.

A new Spoken Word show from Crouch End’s own million-selling author & Edinburgh Fringe performer Rohan Candappa. About how, in the 70s & 80s, songs about politics were often in the charts. Think Ted Talk with great music.

Great music like UB 40, Tom Robinson, Bob Marley and Rod Stewart. Yes, that Rod Stewart!
