Wind, Tide and Oar

Wind, Tide and Oar (PG)

Saturday 17 May 20252:30pm

Wind, Tide & Oar is a compelling exploration of engineless sailing, shot on 16mm film over three years. The film delves into the experiences of those who travel solely by harnessing the natural elements alone, following a diverse array of traditional boats and uncovering the unique rhythms and motivations of engineless navigation.


Journeying through rivers, coastlines, and open seas, spanning the UK, the Netherlands, and France, Wind, Tide & Oar creates a contemplative space, addressing themes of ecology, heritage, traditional skills, and maritime history. Using a 1960s hand-wound camera, Wahl offers a poetic and intimate perspective on a millennia-old craft, upended by the invention of mechanised power.


Through the film’s reveries, sailing becomes a means to explore our interaction with and responsibility to the environment. It invites deep reflection on our relationship with nature, our understanding of and commitment to sustainability, and our care for the world around us.


The film is shot around Suffolk, Cornwall and Essex.



Die Walkure ROH 2025

Die Walkure ROH 2025 (12A Live)

Sunday 18 May 20252:00pm

Love and death, gods and mortals, heroes and villains: it’s all here, in the thunderous second chapter of the Ring cycle. Following the glittering triumph of Das Rheingold in 2023, Barrie Kosky and Antonio Pappano plunge back into Wagner’s mythic universe. Christopher Maltman’s Wotan returns alongside an international cast including Elisabet Strid as Brünnhilde, Lise Davidsen as Sieglinde and Stanislas de Barbeyrac as Siegmund.


It has become the most performed opera of the cycle, loved and admired for its nuanced and intelligent exploration of complex family entanglements, expressed through music of astonishing power – perhaps nowhere more so than in the glorious music for the incestuous lovers Siegmund and Sieglinde.

The Last Musician of Auschwitz

The Last Musician of Auschwitz (12A)

Monday 19 May 20257:30pm

How can there be music in the worst place in the world?


Told through the words of victims of Auschwitz who played and created music during the terrors of the Holocaust, this film shows how, in the most brutal and dehumanizing situations, music could be a lifeline, a way to give testimony, and even a way to resist. Woven throughout are new interpretations of musical works written by victims of the camp, mainly filmed at resonant locations in the environs of Auschwitz. Between them, they touch on themes of loss, longing, and cultural memory, and address head-on the barbaric and murderous regime at Auschwitz.
