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.

Oliver Hermanus chronicles a decades-spanning romance centered around the power of music, starring an electric Paul Mescal and Josh O’Connor.

Lionel and David meet at Boston Conservatory, where they bond over their love of American folk music. Years later, after David serves in the First World War, the pair reunite and travel across the US to record their beloved music. It’s a journey that irrevocably changes their lives. There’s a palpable chemistry between Mescal and O’Connor in this melancholic love story from the director of Living and Shirley Adams.

After years apart, Nora (Renate Reinsve) and Agnes (Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas) are reunited with their father, Gustav (Stellan Skarsgård), a once-renowned film director. Gustav is planning a comeback with a script based on their family, and offers Nora, a successful stage actress, the lead role. 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.

Winner of the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival, Sentimental Value is an intimate and moving exploration of family, memories, and the reconciliatory power of art, from Academy Award-nominee Joachim Trier (The Worst Person In The World).

Trying to escape her past, Millie (Sydney Sweeney) accepts a job as a live-in housemaid for the wealthy Nina (Amanda Seyfried) and Andrew Winchester (Brandon Sklenar).

But what begins as a dream job quickly unravels into something far more dangerous — a sexy, seductive game of secrets, scandal, and power. Behind the Winchesters’ closed doors lies a world of shocking twists that will leave you guessing until the very end.

A wildly entertaining thriller based on the best-selling book, THE HOUSEMAID plunges audiences into a twisted world where perfection is an illusion, and nothing is as it seems.

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.
