For more than six decades, the Up series has captured the lives of ordinary Britons and become one of the most influential documentaries ever made.

“Give me a child at seven and I will show you the man.” What began with those words in 1964 became one of the most ambitious and beloved documentary projects ever created. For more than 60 years, the Up series has followed the lives of fourteen children from across Britain, chronicling their extraordinary yet ordinary lives as they grew older on screen. It captured the hopes, struggles, relationships and changing realities that shaped generations.

Now, the story reaches its extraordinary final chapter. As the participants turn 70, the team behind 70 Up, with multi-award-winning director Asif Kapadia at the helm, reflect on the emotional and creative challenge of bringing this landmark series to a close, and why the films continue to resonate so deeply with audiences around the world.

Pedro Almodóvar is back with his unique brand of storytelling, setting the stage for the tale of a filmmaker who begins to be a little too heavily inspired by the real lives of those around him.

Raúl (Leonardo Sbaraglia) is a cult filmmaker in the midst of a creative crisis. When tragedy strikes one of his closest collaborators, he draws inspiration from it to write his next film. Little by little, he imagines Elsa (Bárbara Lennie), a filmmaker in the midst of writing a script, whose journey begins to mirror his own.

The two filmmakers become two sides of the same character, in a game of mirrors where the raw honesty of autofiction reveals as much as it destroys. But how far can one go to tell a story?

Raised on a remote Scottish island, oddball siblings Isla (Rankin) and Sandy (O’Rourke) spend their days hunting, squabbling and telling stories. But when nervy council official Daniel (Gleeson) arrives on the island intent on moving them along, the pair must wrestle with the threat and exciting possibilities of the mainland. Crammed with intriguingly strange characters and performed with aplomb by a wonderful cast, this terrific comedy debut from director Louis Paxton fuses surreal humour, warmth and pathos. Winner of the NEXT Innovator Award at the Sundance Film Festival, this is a delightful and moving comedy about loneliness, connection and the unknown.

Narrated by the band’s own Jarvis Cocker and directed by their longtime collaborator Garth Jennings, the feature combines footage from their arena tour behind last year’s reunion album, More, with archival film tracing the band’s rise from tenacious Sheffield outsiders to unlikely cultural icons. Featuring twenty songs spanning the course of their career, PULP: What Do You Do For An Encore? is a tribute to a band of misfits whose sharp social commentary, sarcastic yet sincere wit, and enduring empathy with their audience continue to resonate across generations.

Expected to capture the spirit of the classic Talking Heads 1984 concert film Stop Making Sense, Pulp’s new film will blend the “brilliantly choreographed stage spectacle” that the band had on their most recent arena tour – celebrating the release of ‘More’, their first album in 24 years – along with four decades of “colourful, never-seen-before archival material.”

In an era of great change and great beauty emerged the character of James McNeill Whistler. Considered by some to be one of the great innovators of 19th century art, he was a contemporary of the Impressionists, much admired by Van Gogh and Manet. Boldly experimental and famously witty, Whistler disrupted the strict conventions of Victorian society in pursuit of a new cult of beauty, creating “art for art’s sake” and earning himself a place in the history of great art. He found a parallel between painting and music, and entitled many of his paintings “arrangements”, “harmonies” and “nocturnes”, emphasizing the importance of tonal harmony in his work.

His most famous painting, Arrangement in Grey and Black No. 1 (1871), commonly known as Whistler’s Mother, is a revered and often parodied portrait of motherhood. It is arguably one of the most famous paintings in history and this film will unveil the artist behind the art.

Tate Britain is now holding the first major retrospective of Whistler in three decades. This blockbuster exhibition promises to reawaken the world to just how important Whistler is to art history, uniting world-famous masterpieces with rarely seen works. Exhibition on Screen will bring these stunning works and the incredible story behind them to cinemas around the world while the exhibition is still running, bringing this truly global artist to a global audience. This will be an unmissable chance to get to know this visually spectacular artist and the influence he has had on those who followed.

Made in close collaboration with Tate Britain.

Starring: Hugh Jackman, Jodie Comer, Bill Skarsgård, Murray Barrlett, Noah Jupe

Alice, a brilliant novelist, despises the hollow contemporary mantras of kindness and respect. But the bolder she becomes in speaking out, the more colleagues avoid her, and the more her personal relationships begin to fracture.

As she challenges fashionable ideas and lends her voice to causes others are afraid to touch, she faces intense criticism and backlash. Alice will soon learn the price she must pay as an artist and as a woman for daring to speak her mind.

"This is a serious film in the best sense of the term, a thoughtful film about people facing the direst problems with honor, intelligence, and courage that goes beyond the physical to include fearlessness about pursuing the truth."

Saoirse Ronan delivers a career-best performance as Maria, a desperate teacher in an underfunded school, in this jet-black comedy.

Newly single, scraping by in a run-down house and constantly undermined by her colleagues, schoolteacher Maria is rapidly approaching breaking point. When an unruly pupil continues to push boundaries – and her patience – a split-second decision sparks a chain of events that raises uncomfortable questions about responsibility, authority and the limits of patience. German director Jonatan Etzler holds a mirror up to the contemporary British school system, hilariously cutting through issues around care and discipline with a some surprising and shocking twists. Bad Apples seamlessly blends satire, suspense and social commentary to ask how far any school would go to maintain an outstanding score from Ofsted.

Five young mothers living in a shelter strive for a better future for themselves and kids amidst challenging upbringings, directed by the Dardennes.

Five adolescent mothers live together in a maternal support home in Belgium, in this poignant slice of social realism directed by the Dardennes brothers. Facing challenges such as drug addiction, potential adoption, precarious living situations and complex family relations, the women deal with their situations individually, but the home provides the tools, support and the community they need.

Drawing on extensive research at state-run facilities and consultation with local social workers, this richly moving and empathetic film won a screenplay award at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, and – like much of the brothers’ work – displays the poignancy and compassion seen in the work of Andrea Arnold and Ken Loach.

This is the fully authorised, soulful, and wry story of James, the iconic-yet-unlikely Manchester band that survived a chaotic decade of missteps and dysfunction to achieve massive success.

Take It Or Leave It, originally released in 1981, is the highly entertaining and brilliantly nostalgic story of how Madness, one of the most successful and enduring British bands of all time, originally got together.

Filmed after Madness enjoyed a bunch of Top 10 singles, endearing themselves to the British public with the humour of their iconic music videos, the film travels back in time, chronicling how seven mates living in 1970s Camden Town formed a band. It details the jobs they left behind, the line-up changes, the rows, the laughs, and how their distinctive ska-pop ‘Nutty Sound’ evolved.

Featuring classic songs including One Step Beyond, Night Boat to Cairo and Embarrassment, the release will be supported by the band, alongside a brand-new trailer, a new quad poster and paid-for campaign.
