Based on the novel of the same name by Andrew Michael Hurley, Starve Acre, like many films before it is set in God's Own Country of Yorkshire.

Matt Smith (Dr Who, Last Night in Soho) and Morfydd Clark (St Maud) excel in their roles of a grieving couple stretched to breaking point by an unspeakable tragedy. On the remote family farm of Starve Acre, an archaeologist becomes increasingly fascinated by a local myth that the ancient oak tree that once stood on their land holds the dark powers and the secret to 'Dandelion Jack', whilst his wife Juliette turns to her sister and the local community to find some kind of peace. But sinister forces are unwittingly allowed into their home, offering a disturbing possibility of reconnection

One of the world’s biggest and most successful cults, the Rajneesh movement, had communes in more than 30 countries in the 70s and 80s and was immortalised in the Netflix series ‘Wild Wild Country’. But until now, a central truth about the organisation has remained hidden. Filmmaker Maroesja Perizonius, herself brought up in the Rajneesh communes, has connected with other former commune children and together, they’ve decided to change that. This film tells the barely believable story of the treatment of children within the cult. The organisation still thrives today, profiting from Bhagwan’s teachings, yet no one has yet been called to account for the harm caused to children in its communes across the world. In the course of her unflinching investigation Maroesja unmasks perpetrators and demands answers from the closest members of the Cult’s inner circle.

A section of the film focuses on a commune here in Suffolk called Medina Rajneesh which was operational during the early 1980's.

Following numerous requests from customers we are delighted to be partnering with Aldeburgh Cinema for this special screening of Gary Hustwit’s new documentary, ENO, on Woodbridge-born musician and music producer, Brian Eno.

For the past five decades, visionary musician, producer & artist Brian Eno has been at the forefront of artistic innovation and technology. Eno reveals his creative processes in this groundbreaking new documentary, a film that’s different every time it’s shown.

Filmmaker Gary Hustwit and digital artist Brendan Dawes have developed a bespoke generative software that dynamically combines original interviews with Eno’s rich archive of unreleased footage and music. The result? Each screening is unique, presenting different scenes, order & music. Therefore the version you see at Aldeburgh Cinema on the 8th October will not be the same version you will see at The Riverside on the 10th October!

The infinite quality of Eno resonates with the artist’s own creative practice and methods of using technology to compose music & his endless deep dive into the mercurial essence of creativity.

Because of the unique nature of the film, it would be too costly to bring multiple versions to our respective cinemas.

So the most practical solution was to collaborate in a way that served both our audiences and provide the option of an alternative version.

All tickets £10 with membership list suspended.
