James McNeill Whistler

James McNeill Whistler (TBC)

Sunday 20 Sep 20263:00pm

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.

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.

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.

Sandra Oh takes the title role in a razor-sharp reimagining of Molière’s classic

PRESSURE is based on the acclaimed play, the true story of the 72 hours leading up to D-Day. The largest amphibious assault ever has been assembled and any delays risk German intelligence catching on. Britain's chief meteorological officer James Stagg (Andrew Scott) must convince the entire Allied operations led by American General ‘Ike’ Eisenhower (Brendan Fraser) to trust his unconventional methods and alter their deployment plans. The lives of millions and the fate of the war hangs in the balance of these few short days.


"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.
