Twiggy (15)

Thursday 3 Apr 20252:00pm7:45pm

In 1966, a young Lesley Hornby became the face of an era. Changing her name to Twiggy, she turned the modelling world upside down with her unique androgynous style and famed large eyes, becoming a defining figure of the swinging 60s London. Out of this success she built a multifaceted career. Director Sadie Frost charts Twiggy’s rise and her continued success in this fascinating documentary portrait.

The Paiva family are shattered when Ernesto is abducted by the military junta and Eunice (renowned Brazilian actor Fernanda Torres) must lead their family and fight for justice. Salles’ adaptation of Marcelo Rubens Paiva’s 2015 memoir is a profoundly moving portrait of resistance – the intelligent and humane kind of cinema we have come to expect from the director of Central Station and The Motorcycle Diaries.


Dawn of Impressionism

Dawn of Impressionism (U)

Sunday 6 Apr 20253:00pm

The Impressionists are the most popular group in art history - millions flock every year to marvel at their masterpieces. But, to begin with, they were scorned, penniless outsiders.


1874 was the year that changed everything; the first Impressionists, “hungry for independence”, broke the mould by holding their own exhibition outside official channels. Impressionism was born and the art world was changed forever.


What led to that first groundbreaking show 150 years ago? Who were the maverick personalities that wielded their brushes in such a radical and provocative way?


The spectacular Musée d’Orsay exhibition brings fresh eyes to this extraordinary tale of passion and rebellion. The story is told not by historians and curators but in the words of those who witnessed the dawn of Impressionism: the artists, press and people of Paris, 1874.


Made in close collaboration with the Musee d’Orsay and National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.

While girlfriend Candice is on the up and auditioning to star in a musical, teenage daughter Kenisha is struggling in school and her relationship with her mum is tense.

War Paint: Women at War

War Paint: Women at War (TBC)

Wednesday 16 Apr 20257:30pm
From the writer, director and producer of Eric Ravilious: Drawn to War comes War Paint: Women at War

Margy Kinmonth's film asks: When it's life or death, what do women see that men don't? 

Kinmonth’s latest feature documentary WAR PAINT shines a light on the trailblazing role of women war artists, championing the female perspective on conflict through art. Today wars are raging globally - contemporary artists punch through to create a unique artistic legacy alongside the daily media feed. Working on the front line, in the midst of the conflict zone and crucially in its aftermath, official and unofficial women war artists document and expose, inspire and provoke, memorialise and heal.

Traditionally a male domain, war art by women has been largely unrecognised and undervalued. Until now… Kinmonth assembles key artistic female witnesses and survivors of war, filming internationally with some of the world’s top contemporary artists - to tell the truth to power.  

An entirely female cast of artists and contributors make this film a unique undertaking - telling vital stories in turbulent times.

MacBeth (2025)

MacBeth (2025) (12A Live)

Wednesday 23 Apr 20257:30pm

David Tennant (Doctor Who, Broadchurch) and Cush Jumbo (The Good Wife, Criminal Record) lead a stellar cast in an ‘enthralling’ (★★★★★ Daily Telegraph) new production of Shakespeare’s MACBETH, filmed live at the Donmar Warehouse in London, especially for the big screen. Unsettling intimacy and brutal action combine at breakneck speed as Max Webster (Life of Pi, Henry V) directs this tragic tale of love, murder, and nature’s power of renewal. With staging ‘full of wolfish imagination and alarming surprise’ (★★★★★ The Guardian), the immersive 5.1 cinema surround sound places the audience inside the minds of the Macbeths, asking are we ever really responsible for our actions?
