One of the most anticipated films of 2026 - Emerald Fennell, the Oscar-winning creator of Saltburn and Promising Young Woman, now takes on her biggest project yet: an adaptation of Emily Brontë’s classic novel, with Margot Robbie as Catherine Earnshaw and Jacob Elordi as the smouldering, saturnine alpha hero himself, Heathcliff.

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.

Creed and Black Panther director Ryan Coogler teams up once again with star Michael B. Jordan in this highly anticipated supernatural thriller set in the 1930s Jim Crow-era South. The actor plays twin brothers who are desperate to leave their troubled lives behind. They return to their hometown, only to discover a great evil awaiting them. Coogler wrenches every last drop of suspense out of his original story, while Jordan impresses in a dual role.

Directed by Tony Award-winner Tom Morris OBE (War Horse, Dr Semmelweis, The Grinning Man) with music by PJ Harvey, this epic story of manipulation, jealousy and toxic masculinity explores the darker side of power, rage and desire.

This brand-new production, directed by Tom Morris with music by PJ Harvey, has been hotly anticipated in the press as one of the top plays to see this year.

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.”

Few details have been made available regarding Anderson’s highly anticipated drama. It is believed to be a loose adaptation of Thomas Pynchon’s Vineland (the author behind Anderson’s 2014 satire Inherent Vice), and it features DiCaprio and an all-star cast in a tale about freedom fighters who resurface in US society to battle an old foe.

From visionary filmmaker Josh Safdie (of Uncut Gems fame) comes Marty Supreme, a bold, genre-blending sports comedy-drama that plunges into the wild world of 1950s American ping-pong. Starring Timothée Chalamet, and it's one of the most talked-about releases in recent times. Chalamet plays Marty Mauser, a ruthless, charismatic and unconventional ping-pong prodigy who stakes everything on a dream no one else respects. Inspired by real-life table-tennis icon Marty Reisman but not a strict biopic, the film follows Marty as he rises from the gritty New York streets to the spotlight. In his journey, he crosses paths with glowing stars like Gwyneth Paltrow (as an older film-star love interest), and a cast of eccentric, risk-taking characters: Tyler Okonma (aka Tyler, the Creator), Kevin O’Leary, Abel Ferrara and Fran Drescher.

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.

This special screening is to celebrate David Bowie’s legacy as a wonderful artist along with the anniversary of this beloved film.

Jim Henson’s cult fantasy fairy tale stars Jennifer Connelly as Sophie, whose baby brother has been kidnapped by David Bowie’s menacing Goblin King. The infant has been placed in the centre of a fiendishly challenging maze populated by fantastic creatures of all shapes and sizes, leaving Sophie to use all her wits to bring her sibling home. With its great soundtrack and fabulous imagery, it’s a wonderful cinematic fairytale and the perfect way to celebrate the life of David Bowie.

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.

Tate Britain is bringing these two greats together for a groundbreaking exhibition, in London from November 2025 to April 2026, and Exhibition on Screen once again has exclusive and privileged access to bring their extraordinary art and remarkable stories to the big screen in March 2026 so that both can be enjoyed together. Don’t miss this opportunity to see these greats side-by-side, as they so often were in life, on the big screen for the first time.

Turner’s blazing sunsets and sublime scenes from his travels and Constable’s idealised depictions of beloved places from home whipped the public of the time into a frenzy of enthusiasm. 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. Discover unexpected sides to both artists with intimate views of sketchbooks and personal items and insights from leading experts. This is not to be missed.

IT’S NEVER OVER: JEFF BUCKLEY, directed by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Amy Berg (DELIVER US FROM EVIL, JANIS: LITTLE GIRL BLUE, WEST OF MEMPHIS), covers the life of the rising young star with an otherworldly voice and boundary-pushing artistry, who left the '90s music world reeling when he died suddenly, at age 30, after the release of his critically acclaimed debut album “Grace.”

Told through never-before-seen footage from Buckley’s archives and intimate accounts from his mother Mary Guibert, former partners Rebecca Moore and Joan Wasser, Jeff’s former bandmates, including Michael Tighe and Parker Kindred, and luminaries like Ben Harper and Aimee Mann, IT’S NEVER OVER, JEFF BUCKLEY illuminates one of modern music’s most influential and enigmatic figures.

A new British comedy-drama from the team behind Finding Your Feet and Fisherman’s Friends.

Directed by Nick Moorcroft, the film is set in a struggling local pub at the heart of a divided community that starts brewing its own beer and enters the Great British Beer Awards.

The cast includes Martin Clunes, Mark Addy, James Buckley, Miles Jupp, Josie Lawrence, Emily Lloyd-Saini, Jonno Davies, Gabriella Wilde, Luke Treadaway, Stephen Leask  and Karl Collins.

In this twisty, stylish crime thriller, Davis (Chris Hemsworth) is an elusive thief whose high-stakes heists have mystified police. He’s planning his biggest ever score — hoping it’ll be his last — when his path collides with Sharon (Halle Berry), a disillusioned insurance executive whom he’s forced to work with, and Orman (Barry Keoghan), a rival thief with far more disturbing methods than Davis's.

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.

Oliver Laxe’s Cannes winner distils a cinematic reverence for the sacred through a landscape simultaneously scarred and sustained by sound.

Laxe’s hallucinatory journey drifts between road movie, political parable and ritual. Passing through ambiguous, borderless geographies, its hypnotic rhythm reorients our senses. Performances shine, from non-professional nomadic ravers to Sergi López’s grieving father. Both highly tactile and metaphysical, with meaning pulsating beneath its surface, Sirât invites us to trace our own path through the desert mirage.

A lonely Frankenstein (Bale) travels to 1930s Chicago to ask groundbreaking scientist Dr. Euphronious (five-time Oscar nominee Annette Bening) to create a companion for him. The two revive a murdered young woman and The Bride (Buckley) is born. What ensues is beyond what either of them imagined: Murder! Possession! A wild and radical cultural movement! And outlaw lovers in a wild and combustible romance!

Also starring Penélope Cruz and Peter Sarsgaard.

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.

One January afternoon in 2024, the Palestine Red Crescent Society receives a call. On the other end of the phone is a six-year-old girl, surrounded by dead bodies. Audible gunfire punctuates her pleas for help, as she hides from encroaching Israeli tanks. From their offices 50 miles away, volunteers fight against red-tape and internal tensions to deliver a rescue ambulance, distress mounting as time marches on. Blending documentary and fiction in service of undeniable truth, audio recordings of Hind’s final hours are woven seamlessly into this recreation of the mission to save her. Oscar-nominated filmmaker Kaouther Ben Hania balances hope and helplessness on a tightrope, while honouring both the victims of violence and those who fight to protect them. This is essential filmmaking that cuts through the noise, capturing the human devastation at the heart of war.
