Jafar Panahi’s Palme d’Or-winning film is a powerful indictment of state-sponsored terror and a moving drama of individuals seeking to rebuild their lives after being subject to it.
A traffic accident involving a man who was once imprisoned and tortured by the Iranian authorities sparks a series of devastating events in Jafar Panahi’s audacious and defiant condemnation of his country’s regime. The filmmaker continues in highlighting and campaigning against the tyranny that occurs in broad daylight. This emotionally explicit work blends drama and satire to the brilliant cumulative effect of inviting scrutiny and condemnation of abuses of power.

This energetic, revealing documentary digs into one of pop’s most fascinating reinvention stories, following Paul McCartney as he tries to outrun the shadow of the Beatles and figure out who he is next.
Director Morgan Neville focuses on the turbulent 1970s, beginning with the band’s breakup and tracing McCartney’s uncertain early solo years through to the formation, rise and eventual fracturing of Wings. Newly unearthed archive footage places us inside a period of doubt and determination, from low-key family life with Linda and their children in rural Scotland to chaotic tours, shifting line-ups and unexpected chart triumphs. Along the way, McCartney reflects candidly on creative risk, bruised confidence and the challenge of stepping out from a once-democratic band into an unquestioned leadership role.
Hit-packed musical sequences are balanced with quieter, more vulnerable moments, letting McCartney’s own words shape the story. Former collaborators are given space to offer differing perspectives on Wings, not all of them flattering, which adds welcome texture. The film also approaches the death of John Lennon with sensitivity, thoughtfully contextualising McCartney’s famously misread reaction through fresh testimony.
Intimate without being reverent, it’s an engaging portrait of an artist starting over and finding new freedom along the way.
Event includes a bonus conversation with Paul McCartney & director Morgan Neville, only available in cinemas

Frederick Wiseman’s gastronomic dream of a film captures daily life in one of the world’s most prestigious restaurants.
A joyous portrait of the day-to-day life of one of the world’s finest restaurants. Frederick Wiseman’s most recent documentary offers an absorbing portrait of the esteemed French culinary family Troisgros and their restaurants, including Le Bois sans feuilles, holder of three Michelin stars for 55 years. As third generation restauranteur Michel Troisgros hands over responsibility for the cuisine to his son César, we step inside day-to-day life at one of the world’s best restaurants. From early morning market selection and menu planning, through preparation and service, we stand alongside chefs, suppliers and customers, witnessing in close detail the creation and presentation of food and drink of the highest quality. This process is paralleled by Wiseman’s own artistry and technique, employed here in the service of a subject he clearly relishes.

A bank heist turns into a life-or-death race-against-time in Vernon Sewell’s gripping British ‘B’ thriller, which has been hailed by Tarantino, Scorsese and Edgar Wright.
Taut as a drum, Vernon Sewell’s suspense thriller is an outstanding example of the lean British ‘B’ film. A carefully-planned bank heist goes awry when the robbers are interrupted by the unexpected arrival of two nattering cleaners. The gang lock the manager and his secretary in the airtight vault and make off with the cash, but soon realise that the pair will suffocate and they will face a murder rap if they can’t free them. With only 12 hours’ worth of air in the vault, the clock is ticking. Gripping to the end, the film is a real rediscovery.
Richard Linklater recreates the making of Jean-Luc Godard’s seminal feature debut, Au Bout de Souffle (screening on Wednesday 25th February at 7:30pm), penning a nostalgic love letter to the rebellious spirit of the French New Wave.
Cinephilia exudes from every frame of this delightful black-and-white homage, regaling how Au Bout de Souffle came to be. From Godard’s collaboration with Truffaut and Chabrol on the script to the chaotic shoot that drew exasperation from Jean Seberg and producer Georges de Beauregard, an impeccable cast and Linklater’s mastery over the medium capture the revolutionary alchemy that forever changed cinema.

There was before Breathless, and there was after Breathless.
Jean-Luc Godard burst onto the film scene in 1960 with this jazzy, free-form, and sexy homage to the American film genres that inspired him as a writer for Cahiers du cinéma. With its lack of polish, surplus of attitude, anything-goes crime narrative, and effervescent young stars Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg, he helped change the face of cinema.
Jean-Luc Godard, died on the 13th September at the age of 91, he was the filmmaker who changed everything. He directed “Breathless,” the 1960 landmark that helped to launch the French New Wave, employing a new, fast, leaping-ahead technique and style — the jump cut — that altered the DNA of how movies were made. In the ’60s, he took his camera out into the streets and into cafés, stores, offices, and apartments, so that a Godard film often seemed like a documentary about fictional characters. He drew many of those characters from Old Hollywood, a world he’d grown up on and remained obsessed with, but one that he always made seem a million miles away, like some black-and-white Garden of Eden the world had fallen from.
"In the wake of 'Breathless,' New Waves that sprang up across the planet, from Brazil to Czechoslovakia to Japan, owed a major debt to him, as did generations of American directors, including Scorsese, De Palma and Tarantino."

Returning to cinemas for the first time in over a decade, Helen Mirren plays Queen Elizabeth II in the Olivier and Tony Award® -winning hit production, directed by Stephen Daldry.
For 60 years, Queen Elizabeth II met with each of her 12 prime ministers in a private weekly meeting. This meeting is known as The Audience. From Winston Churchill to Margaret Thatcher and David Cameron, the Queen advised her prime ministers on matters both public and personal. Through these private audiences, we see glimpses of the woman behind the crown and witness the moments that shaped a monarch.
Peter Morgan’s Netflix phenomenon The Crown was based on this hit play that was captured live from London’s West End in 2013 and went on to become one of the most-watched NT Live productions.

The lives of three women intersect and overlap in a haunting drama that sees the city of Mumbai play a central role. Prabha, Anu and Parvaty are employees at a hospital in Mumbai. They grapple daily with the opportunities and hardships of existence in the city. Balancing an immersive verité style with a touch of the surreal, Payal Kapadia’s Cannes Grand Prix-winning drama captures the many shades of working-class life in Mumbai.

Wracked with guilt, Albrecht visits Giselle’s grave, where he must face the Wilis – and Giselle’s ghost.
Peter Wright’s 1985 production of this quintessential Romantic ballet is a classic of The Royal Ballet repertory.

Academy Award-winning director Chloé Zhao’s adaptation of Maggie O’Farrell’s bestselling novel features mesmerising performances by Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal.
Agnes, the wife of William Shakespeare, struggles to come to terms with the loss of their only son, Hamnet – the grief driving a wedge between the couple. Shakespeare channels the tragedy and his sorrow into his work, creating Hamlet. Zhao (Nomadland, The Rider) brings a rawness and honesty to this profound portrait of love, grief and the power of storytelling.
Funny, heartfelt and emphatically moving, I Swear dramatises the true story of Tourette syndrome campaigner John Davidson and his quest to live normally in a world that insisted on calling him different.
Diagnosed aged 15, John’s Tourette’s made him the target of huge misunderstanding in 1980s Britain, and he faced hostility, bullying and occasionally outright violence for much of his youth. Aged 16, he was the subject of BBC TV documentary John’s Not Mad (a Q.E.D. episode that’s still ranked one of the 50 best British docs in national polls) and subsequently became one of the UK’s most passionate advocates for greater awareness and acceptance of Tourette’s, for which work he received an MBE in 2019.

Set in London across the late 19th and early 20th century, the film focuses on a turning point of the Suffragette campaign for the vote for women, from peaceful protest to aggressive demonstrations. Seen through the eyes of working-class factory worker Maud, newly recruited to the movement despite her husband's disapproval, she is drawn into the underground workings of the organisation as it develops more radical means of protest. Mirrored by government pressure on police to increase surveillance and punishment of the Suffragettes, Maud's faith in the movement is tested to the limits in this breathtaking fictionalisation of true events that changed the course of history.
The film is being screened to honour International Women’s Day. Sarah Gavron, director of 'Suffragette', stated: “International Women’s Day celebrates the achievements of women throughout the world and I am overjoyed that my film can be part of that celebration. The story of the ordinary British women who were willing to sacrifice everything in their fight for the right to vote is an inspiration to all of us in our ongoing fight for equality.”

But when she declines, he turns his attention to a rising Hollywood actress (Elle Fanning) instead. Suddenly, the two sisters must navigate their complicated paternal relationship, and deal with an American starlet dropped right into the middle of their complex family dynamics.

Two of Britain’s greatest painters, J.M.W. Turner and John Constable were also the greatest of rivals. Born within a year of each other, both used landscape painting to reflect the changing world around them.

Critics compared their starkly different styles to a clash of ‘fire and water’. Marking 250 years since their births, this unmissable new documentary explores Turner and Constable’s intertwined lives and legacies alongside the groundbreaking Tate exhibition.

As the multi-million dollar heist approaches, relentless detective Lt. Lubesnik (Mark Ruffalo) closes in on the operation, raising the stakes even higher, and the line between hunter and hunted starts to blur. Each of them is soon forced to confront the cost of their respective choices — and the realisation that there's no turning back.

SOUL TO SOUL is 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 14th 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. Thankfully, SOUL TO SOUL runs for approx 96 minutes.
The concert features Ike & Tina Turner, Wilson Picket, The Staples Singers, Les McCann and Eddie Harris, Santana and Voices Of East Harlem and local performers too creating some of the ground-breaking music that inspired Afro beat and Afrocentricism in America.
Also for those musicians, who were welcomed as royalty, this was cathartic experience - many visiting Africa for the first time. The film follows them as they spend few days in Ghana, visiting local villages and places before they actually performed the concert - an eye-opening experience for Ike & Tina Turner as they visit a local village or hear the sorrow in Mavis Staples' voice when she visits an old slave castle.

And outlaw lovers in a wild and combustible romance!

Baz Luhrmann’s extraordinary documentary may be the most poignant account of Elvis Presley’s life and career to date, featuring long-lost footage from his epochal 1970s residency in Las Vegas.
Baz Luhrmann returns to the subject of his most audacious film — 2022’s Elvis — with the extraordinary EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert. Free of contemporary interviews with experts, critics or other stakeholders, the film is propelled by recently discovered archival footage shot at the beginning of the famed performer’s Las Vegas residency. Originally intended to last a few weeks at the International Hotel, the 1969 engagement was shockingly lucrative, and stretched on for over seven years.
Brilliantly compiled with an aficionado’s enthusiasm and sensitivity, the film shifts skilfully between rehearsals, where Presley is cheerful, hard-working, even goofy, and live performances that vary from powerful and grandiose to rushed. There are moments where he can’t keep up with the breakneck arrangements and loses his breath. (He was booked to do at least two shows most days.) Among the standouts are “Polk Salad Annie” and “Burning Love,” a chart-topper he cut in early 1972. There are also cutaways to an army of excited celebrities attending the shows and a nod to Presley’s journey from scandalous hip-shaker to showbiz icon.
Luhrmann’s previous feature stressed Presley manager Colonel Tom Parker’s disastrous impact on his client’s artistic growth and ability to tour internationally. Here, the focus lands on Presley’s musicianship and his interactions with band members and singers. What’s revealed is his deep knowledge of gospel, blues, and country traditions, and his instinctive feel for finding the best arrangements and pace for his songs. This is perhaps the most poignant account of Presley to date.

Kleber Mendonça Filho delivers a stinging portrait of life for an academic on the run in 1970s dictator-ruled Brazil.
Kleber Mendonça Filho navigates Brazil’s painful past to paint a loving portrayal of a place and its people, in this slow burning and hugely entertaining political thriller. It’s Carnival week, 1977, in dictatorship-ruled Brazil. Marcelo, a widower on the run arrives in Recife, hoping to reunite with his young son and flee the country. He finds refuge in a resistance commune run by a charismatic 70-year-old woman, but chaos soon catches up with him. Corrupt forces from his previous life are on his tail and he faces further duplicity in the city – his escape trickier with each turn. Combining political statement with light-hearted sentiment, Bacurau and Aquarius writer-director Kleber Mendonça Filho’s novelistic feature revels in playful genre-bending detours – including a gleefully deranged B-movie inspired sequence – and soulful emotions to deliver a sweaty, sun-drenched and masterfully acted ride that is always grounded in love: for Brazil and for cinema.

The impressive directorial feature debut of Laura Carreira is a powerful account of the gig economy and the loneliness of working-class immigrants caught up in it. Portuguese worker Aurora is employed by a Scottish fulfilment warehouse, endlessly pacing down aisles and pulling items from shelves to be shipped out to online shoppers. While her shifts are long and her productivity is constantly monitored, her wages are minimal and she can barely afford to eat. Her gruelling days are punctuated by a few precious moments of connection, especially when her busy lodgings welcomes a new Polish flatmate. Carreira’s skilfully directed and heartbreaking portrait of an isolated woman on the cusp of unravelling is gripping. With shades of Chantal Akerman’s Jeanne Dielman and the indelible spirit of Ken Loach, On Falling is a rage against the capitalist machine, and a very worthy winner of the Sutherland Award for Best First Feature at the 2024 BFI London Film Festival.
