  • Palestine 36 - Sunday 1st February 5pm

    26 January 2026

    Set in 1936 as the British Mandate is fading in Palestine and German Jews are beginning to flee to the area in larger and larger numbers, Palestine 36 attempts to show us some of the origins of today's troubles. This was all the more timely as filming was set to start soon after Hamas raided Israel and set off the present fighting.

    “At its best it cuts between historical footage and new material and achieves the awed emotional resonance of connecting history with the present.” - Marcel Steinbauer-Lewis, Little White Lies

  • Dragonfly - Sunday 25th January 5pm

    19 January 2026


    Another Members Choice this week with Dragonfly which continues our accidental mini-strand of 'great acting duos', we have Brenda Blethyn and Andrea Riseborough, both Oscar nominees and now sharing the Best Performance award at the Tribeca Film Festival, where this film was released. 

    When this is mixed with the talents of Paul Andrew Williams who has already made some biting social-realist films (viz 'London to Brighton' and 'Bull') you will already be getting a good feeling about Dragonfly; and with good reason. 
    “For a study of human connection at its most honest and affecting, with two remarkable lead performances, Dragonfly is a powerfully striking experience.” - Philip De Semlyen, Time Out


  • Die My Love - Sunday 18th January 5pm

    12 January 2026

     "Scorsese, it’s reported, was convinced that no other actor could do justice to the complex character. He may well be correct: Lawrence is thrillingly uninhibited and physically impulsive." - Wendy Ide, Observer

    5 January 2026

    Souleymane's Story is the winner of festival awards around the world, including the coveted 'Un Certain Regard' Jury prize at Cannes last year, get ready to follow the routes of Souleymane Sangaré as he frantically tries to keep up a gruelling schedule delivering food on his bicycle round the streets of Paris.
