5th September: One Life (cert 12)
An incredible true story of bravery and heroism - ONE LIFE features Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton, a young London broker who, in the months leading up to the Second World War, rescued 669 children from the Nazis. Nicky visited Prague in December 1938 and found families who had fled the rise of the Nazis in Germany and Austria, living in desperate conditions with little or no shelter and food, and under threat of Nazi invasion. He immediately realised it was a race against time. How many children could he and the team rescue before the borders closed? Starring Anthony Hopkins and Helena Bonham Carter
3rd October: Wicked Little Letters (cert 15)
A 1920s English seaside town bears witness to a dark, absurd scandal in this riotous mystery comedy. Based on a stranger-than-fiction true story, "Wicked Little Letters" follows two neighbours: deeply-conservative local Edith Swan (Olivia Colman) and rowdy Irish migrant Rose Gooding (Jessie Buckley). When Edith and fellow residents start to receive wicked letters full of unintentionally hilarious profanities, foul-mouthed Rose is charged with the crime. The anonymous letters prompt a national uproar, and a trial ensues. However, as the town's women, led by Police Officer Gladys Moss (Anjana Vasan), begin to investigate the crime themselves, they suspect that something is amiss and Rose might not be the culprit after all.
If you don't mind a bit of bad language, this tale is a complete hoot.
7th November: Fremont (cert 12A)
Beautiful and troubled 20-something Donya, an Afghan translator who used to work with the U.S. government, has trouble sleeping. She lives by herself in Fremont, California, in a building with other Afghan immigrants and often dines alone at a local restaurant watching soap operas. Her routine changes when she's promoted to writing the fortunes at her job at a fortune cookie factory in the city. As her fortunes are read by strangers throughout the Bay, Donya's smoldering longing drives her to send a message out to the world, unsure where it will lead. “Utterly delightful” The Guardian
22nd November: Bonfire Radicals in Concert
A vibrant feast of dynamic, contemporary folk music. The electrifying sound of Bonfire Radicals is intensely creative and irresistibly fun. Their live set is a burst of energy, capturing the adventurous breadth of their musical imaginations which emerge from a melting pot of original and traditional folk tunes and songs from the British Isles to the Balkans. Rhythmic grooves, instrumental fireworks, rich vocal harmonies and delicate a cappella all collide and explode into a "crashing rollercoaster of sound...alive with possibility and thrills" - Folk Radio.
"Supreme musicianship and a fantastic meld of folk/jazz/world influences... you were magnificent and really livened up our village" - audience member
5th December: The Holdovers (cert 15)
A curmudgeonly instructor at a New England prep school remains on campus during Christmas break to babysit a handful of students with nowhere to go. He soon forms an unlikely bond with a brainy but damaged troublemaker, and with the school's head cook, a woman who just lost a son in the Vietnam War. Golden Globe 2024 winner of the Best Actor, and BAFTA 2024 winner of Best Supporting Actress and Best Casting.
2nd January: Wonka (cert PG)
A feel good start to the new year, this film focuses on a young Willy Wonka, prior to the events of Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. WONKA tells the wondrous story of how the world's greatest inventor, magician and chocolate-maker became the beloved Willy Wonka we know today. A beautifully made film with amazing special effects
