Jim Jarmusch’s Venice Golden Lion-winning comedy navigates the sometimes tender, sometimes awkward interactions between the bohemian generation and their adult children.

A return to the interlinked stories and international panorama format of Night on Earth, Jarmusch’s drama features a series of stories that concern familial relationships marked by emotional detachment. An engaging character study whose connecting motifs subtly reveal themselves, it’s beautifully shot by Frederick Elmes and Yorick le Saux, and features a fine cast, including the director’s lucky charm, Tom Waits, along with Charlotte Rampling, Vicky Krieps and Indya Moore.

A happily engaged couple is put to the test when an unexpected turn sends their wedding week off the rails.

Starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson

In Hasan Hadi’s engrossing debut, a young girl is faced with the challenge of baking a cake for her school’s celebration of Saddam Hussein’s birthday.

Though considered a great honour, nine-year-old Lamia’s task feels impossible, as she and her grandmother Bibi already struggle to get by. But armed with a shopping list and her pet rooster, Lamia remains determined as she sets off to find ingredients. A child’s eye view of a dictatorship, The President’s Cake skilfully navigates between the comic and the tragic.

Prolific shapeshifter Josh O’Connor (La Chimera, Challengers, The Mastermind, Wake Up Dead Man) plays a reserved father searching for a way back after catastrophe in Max Walker-Silverman’s (A Love Song) soulful story of the American West.

Rebuilding follows Dusty (O’Connor), a stoic cowboy whose ranch was destroyed in a devastating wildfire. Now based in a trailer community on a government-run campsite, Dusty finds solace with his new neighbours, quietly reassembles his life, and strengthens his bonds with his ex-wife Ruby (The White Lotus’s Meghann Fahy) and their young daughter Callie-Rose (Lily LaTorre). Shot against the majestic landscapes of southern Colorado, Rebuilding is a sensitive portrait of resilience, the increasing precarity of the natural world and the struggle to regain hope and trust after traumatic loss.

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.

Soon after the Thompson family’s arrival in the countryside, the three children – Joe, Beth, and Fran – discover a magical tree and its extraordinary and eccentric residents, including Moonface, Silky, Dame Washalot, and Saucepan Man. At the top of the tree, they’re transported to spectacular and fantastical lands and, through the joys and challenges of their adventures, the Thompsons learn to reconnect and value each other for the first time in years.

Based on the Enid Blyton classic children’s story, the cast also includes British stars Lenny Henry, Jennifer Saunders, Michael Palin, Rebecca Ferguson, Mark Heap and Simon Russell-Beale.

Retired detective Scottie Ferguson (James Stewart), who quit the force after developing a fear of heights, thinks he's pursuing a regular lead when he is hired to follow Madeline (Kim Novak), the beautiful wife of a friend. As he begins to fall in love with her, his whole world is shattered when his vertigo prevents him from saving her from an apparent suicide. Devastated, Scottie begins to shut himself off entirely but when he later glimpses Madeline's perfect double in the sun-soaked San Francisco streets, his feelings of obsession and paranoia begin to spiral out of control.

This tense thriller from director Alfred Hitchcock - often spoken of as one of the greatest films of all time - is a fascinating marriage of psychology and cinema.

Screening in conjunction with the new documentary film, KIM NOVAK'S VERTIGO, which is on later this day at 6pm

Alexandre O. Philippe’s latest film essay is a conversation with cinema icon and mental health activist Kim Novak about Hollywood, ghosts and finding herself as an artist.

It’s in her painting studio that Novak, 92, welcomes Philippe (78/52, Lynch/Oz) for an intimate conversation. Generously illustrated with film clips, Hitchcock’s Vertigo unsurprisingly takes centre-stage, but it is also a film whose troubling themes cast a powerful shadow over her career. Novak is an excellent conversationalist and the film is a welcome portrait of one of Hollywood’s most enigmatic stars.

Screening earlier this afternoon at 3pm is Hitchcock's VERTIGO

It is 1985 in the run-up to Christmas in a small town in County Wexford, Ireland.

Based on the acclaimed novel of the same name by Claire Keegan.

Following her acclaimed 2024 company debut in Puccini’s Madama Butterfly, soprano Asmik Grigorian returns to the Met as Tatiana, the lovestruck young heroine in this ardent operatic adaptation of Pushkin. Baritone Igor Golovatenko reprises his portrayal of the urbane Onegin, who realizes his affection for her all too late.

The life and legacy of one of the most influential artists the world has ever known is brought thrillingly to the screen.

The director of Training Day, Olympus Has Fallen and the The Equalizer films adopts a very different tack with his biographical portrait of the King of Pop. Written by John Logan (Gladiator, The Last Samurai, Hugo), the film delves into the early years of Michael Jackson, portraying his home life and success with the Jackson 5, through to his ascension as arguably the greatest star of the pop firmament. The singer is played by his real-life nephew, with an all-star cast filling out the remaining ensemble of family members, friends and witnesses.

The 2026 multiscreen concert film of two massive live shows by John Lennon and Yoko Ono at Madison Square Garden, New York.

The film is newly restored, re-edited and remixed by the Lennons' seven-time GRAMMY®-Award winning team. John & Yoko/Plastic Ono Band with Elephant's Memory and Special Guests performed these now-legendary sold-out One To One concerts to a combined audience of 40,000 people, raising over $1.5M (equivalent to $11.5M in 2026) for children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. They were the only full-length concerts John Lennon (with Yoko Ono) performed after leaving The Beatles.

Hits performed include John Lennon's 'New York City', 'Instant Karma! (We All Shine On)', 'Imagine' and 'Mother', plus Yoko Ono's 'Don't Worry Kyoko' and 'Open Your Box', as well as rousing renditions of 'Come Together' and 'Hound Dog' and an incredible stage-filled encore of 'Give Peace a Chance’, featuring special guests Stevie Wonder, Sha Na Na, Melanie Safka-Schekeryk and many others

Originally filmed by multi-camera director Steve Gebhardt in 1972, this 2026 version of the concert film is directed by Simon Hilton, edited by Ben Wainwright-Pearce and produced by Peter Worsley and Sean Ono Lennon.

A heartbreaking, but ultimately hopeful, account of the epilepsy of Louis Petit as documented by his parents, filmmakers Christopher Petit and Emma Matthews.

This deeply personal essay film about Louis Petit, whose severe epilepsy erased nearly all memories of his childhood, employs intimate family footage as it traces the emotional and practical consequences of living with memory loss, as well as the fragile process of reconstructing a sense of self. Moving between the personal and the political, it navigates the labyrinth of medical bureaucracy while reflecting on cinema’s power to preserve, distort and reimagine memory. As it unfolds, D is for Distance expands into a broader meditation on technology, capitalism and the systems that shape our bodies and minds. A quietly powerful portrait of resilience, Petit and Matthews’ film reveals how identity survives and adapts when memory disappears.

Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) struggles against Emily Charlton (Emily Blunt), her former assistant turned rival executive, as they compete for advertising revenue amidst declining print media while Miranda nears retirement.

Twenty years after making their iconic turns as Miranda, Andy, Emily and Nigel- Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci return to the fashionable streets of New York City and the sleek offices of Runway Magazine in 20th Century Studios’ “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” the eagerly awaited sequel to the 2006 phenomenon that defined a generation.

The film reunites the original main cast with director David Frankel and writer Aline Brosh McKenna, and introduces an all-new runway of characters including Kenneth Branagh, Simone Ashley, Justin Theroux, Lucy Liu, Patrick Brammall, Caleb Hearon, Helen J. Shen, Pauline Chalamet, B.J. Novak and Conrad Ricamora. Tracie Thoms and Tibor Feldman also reprise their roles as “Lily” and “Irv” from the first film.

A heart-pounding combination of action, music and incredible aerial photography helped make Top Gun the blockbuster hit of 1986.

Top Gun takes a look at the danger and excitement that awaits every pilot at the Navy's prestigious fighter weapons school. Tom Cruise is superb as Lt. Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, a daring young flyer who's out to become the best. And Kelly McGillis sizzles as the civilian instructor who teaches Maverick a few things you can't learn in a classroom.

Screening to honour its 40th Birthday with TOP GUN: MAVERICK to follow !

After more than 30 years of service as one of the Navy's top aviators, Pete "Maverick" Mitchell is where he belongs, pushing the envelope as a courageous test pilot and dodging the advancement in rank that would ground him. Training a detachment of graduates for a special assignment, Maverick must confront the ghosts of his past and his deepest fears, culminating in a mission that demands the ultimate sacrifice from those who choose to fly it.

Schrijver’s acclaimed drama follows former best friends and roommates Chris and Lluis, who meet up after a decade to hike Scotland’s West Highland Way and Cape Wrath Trail. Having taken the same 350-mile walk in their youth, the pair hope to rekindle their once-strong friendship by spending 30 days together in the majestic, raw beauty of the Scottish Highlands. But while Chris remains preoccupied with work and life back at home, Lluis is determined to finish the trail to prove he can still do it. Amidst the sweeping landscapes, harsh weather and chance encounters with other hikers, the solitude and silence of the trek force the pair to confront truths about themselves and their friendship – and find out what it truly means to stand still and listen.

Shot entirely on the route of the walk, and in chronological order, The North is a beautiful ode to friendship and the healing power of nature. It’s not only a poignant and powerful drama, but also perhaps the definitive hiking film, allowing us to take in the stunning majesty of the Highlands shoulder-to-shoulder with Lluis and Chris as they reconnect with each other and with nature.

Lori (Coel) divides her time between freelance art restoration and work in a food truck. Her lacklustre fortunes change when she’s approached by the estranged heirs (Gunning, Corden) of brilliant painter Julian Sklar (McKellen) with an exciting proposition: Lori will steal a series of long-abandoned paintings (‘The Christophers’) from Sklar’s London home, complete them and reap a third of the profits once the paintings are sold after Sklar’s imminent death. What could possibly go wrong?

Brilliantly scripted by Ed Solomon, blisteringly performed by an acerbic McKellen and a cagey Coel, The Christophers is a witty, exhilarating and complex new offering from Soderbergh that serves up thorny truths about youth and old age, artistic integrity and legacy.

After the Super Mario Bros. Movie landed on our screens in 2023 we can’t wait for the brothers’ return. Get ready for new worlds and new friends as Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach and Toad are joined by long-awaited favourites Yoshi and Rosalina on an outer-space adventure to face off against Bowser Jr., venturing into space, exploring cosmic worlds and tackling galactic challenges far from the familiar Mushroom Kingdom.

Gaming and Super Mario Bros. has been a beloved pastime for many generations since the original Nintendo game of the same name launched in 1985, and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is suited for both younger audiences and the young at heart, as well as the slightly nostalgic

This thoughtful documentary examines issues around public access to land in England.

92% of the English countryside is without legal public access. Through organised “mass trespass” events, Right to Roam seeks to extend this, but often clashes with landowners. This documentary gives voice to both sides: prominent land authors, Nick Hayes and Guy Shrubsole, as well as landowners defending their custodianship. It examines complex issues of access, conservation, and longstanding property rights that have shaped the English landscape for over a thousand years.

Ultimately, it asks the provocative question: who truly has the right to roam?
