The question of how love alters our identity lies at the heart of this debut from one of London’s best-loved drag queens. Amrou Al-Kadhi’s first feature considers the relationship between Palestinian-British drag performer Layla and their white, straightlaced new love interest, Max. Set against the backdrop of Feathers (a larger-than-life fictional queer space threatened by – the very real – spectre of gentrification), the pair meet when Layla performs an outrageous act at a drab corporate event. Thrown together by fate – and ready-meals – their curiosity gives way to full-blown attraction. But Layla wears a dress made of karate belts and Max lives in a stylish minimalist apartment – their enjoyment of each other is increasingly complicated by urgent questions of difference, forcing both to confront the bittersweet nature of attraction.

Screening collaboration with Suffolk Pride.

We know so little of the world beneath our feet. To most it is a place only of fear and darkness, though to a brave few it is one of knowledge and wonder to be found nowhere else. Based on the bestselling book by Robert Macfarlane, Underland is a cinematic documentary that voyages into worlds rarely glimpsed by human eyes. Beginning in the shallow soils beneath an old ash tree, the film follows several ‘astronauts of the underworld’ as they travel into ancient sacred caves, flooded storm drains, melting glaciers, underwater burial chambers and a deep underground laboratory built to solve the mysteries of the Universe. Narrated by Oscar-nominated Sandra Hüller, Underland is a deep dive into the Earth that ultimately presents a groundbreaking vision for rethinking our lives on this fragile surface.

A24’s next sci-fi horror comes from the deep dark dwells of internet forums, promising an eerie and haunting tale that'll likely linger and resurface every time you enter any particularly abandoned spaces.

With two Oscar nominees leading the cast, Sentimental Value’s Renate Reinsve and 12 Years a Slave’s Chiwetel Ejiofor, it's the upcoming horror film that everyone is talking about.

Facing the death of his country’s glaciers and the loss of his beloved grandparents, Icelandic writer Andri Snær Magnason turns his archives into a time capsule to hold what is slipping away — family, memory, time, and water. Tasked to write the eulogy for Okjökull, the first glacier to be declared dead due to climate change, Magnason reflects on how glaciers create an archive of deep time within their ice over millions of years. Likening this idea of the depth of time to intergenerational memory, he sets out to pass along the stories of his grandparents for future generations, before they too vanish. Drawing from an evocative mix of photographs, home movies, myths, songs, and folk tales, Time and Water is at once an elegy for what we've lost and an attempt at cinematic time travel to retain it.

With a standout, chaotic and unnerving lead performance from Navarette and an ingenious skewering of relationship dynamics, OBSESSION is a sharp, unnerving, and surprisingly funny descent into the dangers of wanting to be loved a little too much.

Jordan Peele's debut film is a brilliantly inventive horror that skewers the insecurities and injustices of modern America.

Ever since the days of Night of the Living Dead and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre it’s been a critical truism that the horror genre offers its own running commentary on the distressed state of modern America. With levels of onscreen carnage escalating over the years, however, it’s heartening to see a filmmaker opt not to deliver even more of the same, but instead return to the fantasy-inflected unease that made TV’s The Twilight Zone a pop-cultural barometer for the anxieties of an earlier American generation. Writer-director Jordan Peele’s remarkable debut feature is very much a product of our own Black Lives Matter era – provocatively so indeed – but one that purposefully uses Serling-esque surrealism as a fantastical container for a whole array of hot-button issues.

Screening as part of our PARANOIA AT THE RIVERSIDE season of films

Set on Vancouver Island in the late 1990s, Blue Heron follows eight-year-old Sasha as her Hungarian family begins life anew in an unfamiliar home. What first appears to be a hopeful transition unfurls to reveal an older brother with increasingly volatile behaviour, casting tension over daily life. Through Sasha’s quiet observations, unspoken fears and strained relationships come into focus. Elegantly shot and structurally assured, Romvari draws from her own experiences to craft a sensitive and atmospheric drama. Through an articulate examination of childhood perception, emotional estrangement and the difficulty of understanding those closest to us, Blue Heron presents a poignant reflection on family bonds and instability, and the fragile nature of memory.

“Guaranteed to be one of the best films you’ll see this year” - our manager, Neil.
