  • Familiar Touch - Sunday 20th September 5pm

    14 September 2026


    Whilst films about sufferers from dementia have become more frequent, nearly all have shown the problems more from the point of view of the relations and friends rather than the sufferer. Familiar Touch lets us travel along with Ruth on the journey from respected professional to patient, from living in a lovely home to supported living, showing her ups and downs, losses and gains, along the way.

    "The result is an auspicious first feature, and I'd see it if I were you." - Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune

  • Colours Of Time - Sunday 13th September 5pm

    7 September 2026


    Colours of Time, our opening film this season was chosen by the members...twice! First time round it was not available, but we finally have it.

    Four strangers have been gathered together by a development company who want to knock down a cottage, empty since 1944; unknowingly, they have inherited this from Adèle Meunier who disappeared back then looking for her own mother she had not seen for 20 years. The cottage turns out to be full of clues and memorabilia that set them off looking into Adèle's past; where did she go, who was she? Their search for her history is then comically interlaced with their own discovery of their future 
    "Genially inventive in messing with the codes of period cinema." - Jonathan Romney, Screen International

    The films are booked, the brochure has been printed and is waiting at the Alhambra (or can be downloaded as a PDF), tickets can be bought at the Alhambra and the season will begin on September 13th with Colours Of Time. 

    The season has several famous directors included -  Pedro Almodovar, Paolo Sorrentino, Marc Evans, Pawel Pawlikowski and László Nemes - which we hope you will approve of, plus an array of newer ones and even first-timers. We visit France, USA, India, Hungary, Spain, Canada, Italy, Greece, Sudan, Nigeria, Wales, Romania, Poland and China - not a bad selection of World Cinema, and we don't have a single one from England for once!
