Capturing a year in the life of a rural, lakeside community in Ireland in the 1970’s, That They May Face The Rising Sun is an adaptation of the final novel from John McGahern, one of Ireland’s greatest novelists. Joe and Kate Ruttledge have returned from London to live and work among the small, close-knit community near to where Joe grew up. Now deeply embedded in life around the lake, the drama of a year in their lives and those of the memorable characters around them unfolds through the rituals of work, play and the passing seasons as this enclosed world becomes an everywhere.

The film has captured the emotion of the farewell concert, immortalising the legacy of the most successful Celtic rock band of all time, and celebrating the end of an era together with their fans. Runrig devotees from over 20 countries arrived in Stirling to sing and dance the night away. Every note and chord resonated in the hearts of everyone at the gig. Runrig signed off with an incredible acapella version of “Heart Of Olden Glory”, rejoicing with their fans at the emotional ending of a remarkable 45-year career.
The film is the definitive Runrig experience and illustrates the importance of the band in Scottish culture and what it means to be a Runrig fan. The Last Dance is a concert to remain forever in the heart and minds of music-lovers around the world.
Big Banana Feet is a rarity. A documentary centring on a tour of Ireland by Scottish performer Billy Connolly, which took place in 1975. A raw, edgy fly-on-the-wall documentary which follows the comedian, on the cusp of fame, around a volatile landscape. The film was made in 1975 at the height of the Troubles in Northern Ireland.
The film had a limited release in cinemas in the UK, followed by a small video release, then the distributor went bust and the film went missing. Thanks to the tenacity of film archivist Douglas Weir, who works at the British Film Institute, the BFI has secured the film's future.

Our aim for the Tween Film Club is to inspire a love of film in young people and an enthusiasm for discovery in an exciting, safe and comfortable environment. There are no ads or trailers with this film and it will start promptly at 2.00pm.
After witnessing a Mafia murder, slick saxophone player Joe (Tony Curtis) and his long-suffering buddy, Jerry (Jack Lemmon), improvise a quick plan to escape from Chicago with their lives. Disguising themselves as women, they join an all-female jazz band and hop a train bound for sunny Florida. While Joe pretends to be a millionaire to win the band's sexy singer, Sugar (Marilyn Monroe), Jerry finds himself pursued by a real millionaire (Joe E. Brown) as things heat up and the mobsters close in.
The film contains mild comic sex references and some brief and undetailed violence which are unlikely to upset even young children (BBFC).
Andrew Scott (Fleabag) brings multiple characters to life in Simon Stephens’ (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time) radical new one-man version of Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya.
Filmed live during its sold-out run in London’s West End.
