Ria (Juno Temple) wants out
of her town with her friend
Kaz and is trying to scrape
enough money to get away
to the coast. Joseph (Timothy
Spall) wants out of this life as
he struggles to come to terms
with the death of his wife. He
decides to head to Blackpool
to commit suicide, the place
where he and his wife spent
most of their time competing
in dancing competitions at
the Tower ballroom. Fate
brings these two lost souls
together in a story of love
and loss and of hope.
One of the best reviewed
films of the year, a brilliantly
subversive take on liberal
America masquerading as a
low budget horror flick. Chris,
a young African-American
man visits his Caucasian
girlfriend's mysterious
family estate. At first, he
reads the family's overly
accommodating behaviour
as nervous attempts to
deal with their daughter's
interracial relationship, but
as the weekend progresses,
a series of increasingly
disturbing discoveries lead
him to a truth that he never
could have imagined.
Drama based on the book by
Sebastian Barry and directed
by Jim Sheridan (‘My Left
Foot’) about a woman, Rose
Clear, convicted of infanticide
and placed in a mental
health facility where, years
later, Rose maintains she did
not kill her child. A heartbreaking
story of love, loss
and unspeakable truths the
film stars Vanessa Redgrave
and Rooney Mara as older
and younger versions of Rose.

Back By Popular Demand! 
Director Barras uses gorgeous stop-motion
animation to tackle difficult subject matter in
this delicately told story about a young boy,
nicknamed Courgette by his peers, sent to a
group home after the death of his alcoholic
mother, who finds comfort, acceptance and
hope with his equally troubled new companions.
In the world of political power-brokers,
Elizabeth Sloane (Jessica Chastain) is
the most sought after and formidable
lobbyist in D.C. Known equally for her
ruthless cunning and a track record of
success, she has always done anything
and everything to secure victory. When
she switches firms to work against a
powerful campaign to encourage gun
possession among women, she finds
that winning may come at too high a
price... John Madden's film, thick with
twists, brinkmanship and haunting
moral questions, is a sharply-scripted,
character-driven political thriller to
savour.
This magical collection of short
films from around the world
will delight children age 3+. A
colourful introduction to the cinema
experience.There’s a little mouse
quietly obsessed with cleanliness, a
thrilling high-speed chase through
the streets of a French port (on
tricycles!) and a reindeer faced
with endless avalanches that keep
burying his little cabin in the woods. 
At daybreak, three young surfers ride
the raging seas. On their way home,
a catastrophic road accident occurs.
Now on life-support in a hospital in
Le Havre, Simon's existence seems
little more than an illusion, leaving
his parents with the most torturous
decision of their lives. Meanwhile,
in Paris, a woman awaits the organ
transplant that will give her a new
lease on life...
Captain Jack Sparrow finds the
winds of ill-fortune blowing
even more strongly when deadly
ghost pirates led by his old
nemesis, the terrifying Captain
Salazar, escape from the Devil's
Triangle, determined to kill every
pirate at sea...including him.
Captain Jack's only hope of
survival lies in seeking out the
legendary Trident of Poseidon, a
powerful artefact that bestows
upon its possessor total control
over the seas. 
Back by popular
demand!
Aki Kaurismäki's superb
new film is a humane,
funny and compassionate
study of that most pressing
of global issues: the
plight of the refugee. With
trademark doleful wit, the
director focuses on the
unlikely alliance between
Wikstrom, a poker-playing
restauranteur, and Khaled,
a Syrian refugee, newly
arrived in Finland and
seeking asylum. 
Drama about a single man
Frank Adler (Chris Evans)
raising his spirited young
niece Mary in a coastal town
in Florida. Frank's plans for a
normal school life for Mary
are foiled when the sevenyear-
old's mathematical
abilities come to the attention
of Frank's formidable
mother Evelyn (Lindsay
Duncan) whose plans for her
granddaughter threaten to
separate Frank and Mary.
Documentary which observes
the life of the workers in a
gigantic textile factory in
Gujarat, India, that might be
the setting for a 21st century
Dante’s Inferno. Director Jain
lays bare the suffering and
the exhausting environment
the workers can hardly escape
from. With strong visual
language, memorable images
and interviews of the workers
themselves, the film tells a story
of inequality, oppression and the
huge divide between rich, poor
and the perspectives of both. 
Documentary about one of New
Zealand's most treasured sons
and the father of a cherished
motor racing empire. Born
in Auckland in 1937, Bruce
McLaren's determination to
make it to the summit of global
motor racing circles saw his name
become synonymous with the
sport. Revealing the challenges
and adversities faced along
the way, including a serious
childhood illness, ‘McLaren’ is the
story of one man's unfaltering
commitment to his vision, told
with incredible archive footage
and the memories of those who
knew him best. 
Comedy drama in
which an American
widow (Diane
Keaton) finds
unexpected love with
a man (played by
Brendan Gleason)
living wild on
Hampstead Heath
when they take on
the developers who
want to destroy his
home.
