Daphne (15)

Fri 24 - Thu 30 NovemberDir. Peter Mackie Burns, UK, 2017, 90 mins. Cast. Emily Beecham, Geraldine James, Tom Vaughan-Lawler.

This striking drama, which wowed the Edinburgh Film Festival, follows the life of an early-thirties Londoner who goes off the rails after witnessing a random act of violence. Daphne does a brilliant job of capturing the subtle emotions of this most complex of women - and the world around her.

Mother! (18)

Fri 3 - Thu 9 NovemberDir. Darren Aronofsky, US, 2017, 121 mins.Cast. Jennifer Lawrence, Javier Bardem, Ed Harris, Michelle Pfeiffer.

A couple’s relationship is tested when uninvited guests arrive at their home, disrupting their tranquil existence. A potent psychological thriller about love, devotion and sacrifice. This is your chance to make your mind up about a film that has divided critics and audiences.

The Party (15)

Fri 17 - Thu 23 NovemberDir. Sally Potter, UK, 2017, 71 mins. Cast. Timothy Spall, Kristen Scott Thomas, Patricia Clarkson, Bruno Ganz.

Janet (Scott Thomas) has just been appointed Shadow Heath Secretary and she decides to celebrate by hosting a party for a few close friends. Gleefully nasty, Potter’s dark comedy is an anti-Brexit state-ment about a ‘broken England’, and a savage satire of British middle-class convictions using both insight and killer wit.

Metropolis (PG)

Fri 10 - Thu 16 NovemberDir. Fritz Lang, Germany, 1927, 99 mins, silent with subtitles. Cast. Alfred Abel, Gustav Frohlich, Brigitte Helm, Rudolf Klein-Rogge.

The mother of all sci-fi cinema, Fritz Lang’s silent masterpiece celebrates its 90th Anniversary. Its dizzying depiction of a futuristic cityscape and female robot, is an influence on Blade Runner and countless other films. We will screen the newly restored 150 minute version at 5pm on Sat 11 Nov and 2.30pm on Wed 15 Nov.

Vanishing Sail + SWFTA Short Film (U) Tue 14 - Wed 15 NovemberDir. Alexis Andrews, 2015, 88mins.

On the island of Carriacou, West Indies, the last wooden sailboat builder dreams of saving a great tradition passed down the generations from Scottish settlers that sailed there centuries ago. Stories of the old Caribbean - trading by sail and smuggling contraband interweave a tribute to the independent spirit of a small island community.

It’s a Wonderful Life (U)

Thu 21 - Sat 23 DecemberDir. Frank Capra, US, 1946, 130 mins. Cast. James Stewart, Donna Reed, Lionel Barrymore, Henry Travers, Gloria Grahame.

We make no apologies for screening this perennial Christmas classic again. James Stewart is George Bailey, a compassionate but frustrated everyman whose life seems to be coming apart. But when Clarence, an angel with one chance to prove his mettle, arrives on earth he teaches George just how much life is worth living.

Call Me by Your Name (15) Fri 1 - Wed 6 DecemberDir. Luca Guadagnino, Italy/France/Brazil, 2017, 130 mins. Cast. Armie Hammer, Timothee Chalamet, Michael Stuhlbarg.

This gorgeous and moving film by Luca Guadagnino (I Am Love, A Bigger Splash), is a sun-kissed queer love story about the relationship between a 17-year-old and an older man. This sublime summertime romance casts a very special spell that is bound to be one of the main contenders come Oscar® season...

The Florida Project (15)

Fri 15 - Wed 20 December Dir. Sean Baker, US, 2017, 115 mins. Cast. Willem Defoe, Brooklynn Kimberly Prince, Bria Vinaite.

A story of childhood, set against the backdrop of America’s failed economy. Six-year-old Moonee lives with her mother in a candy-floss-coloured motel in Orlando. Narrated from a child’s-eye view, this is a marvellous world of play and possibility. But adult viewers witnessing this life will suspect what’s coming for Moonee.

Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool (TBC)

Wed 27 Dec - Thu 4 JanDir. Paul McGuigan, UK, 2017, 105 mins. Cast. Annette Bening, Jamie Bell, Julie Walters, Kenneth Cranham.

The Death of Stalin (15) Fri 24 - Thu 30 NovemberDir. Armando Iannucci, France/UK, 2017, 107 mins. Cast. Richard Brake, Olga Kurylenko, Andrea Riseborough, Steve Buscemi, Michael Palin, Jason Isaacs.

Acerbic send-up of the Soviet dictator and the battle for power after his sudden demise. A timely allegory about venal, unfit leaders and corrupt governance - it’s the kind of comedy that has become Iannucci’s (The Thick of It, In the Loop) specialty. Brilliant!

The Killing of a Sacred Deer (tbc)

Fri 8 - Thu 14 DecemberDir. Yorgos Lanthimos, UK/Ireland, 2017, 121 mins. Cast. Colin Farrell, Nicole Kidman, Barry Keoghan, Alicia Silverstone.

Interlacing elements of Greek tragedy, surrealism and absurdist horror, Yorgos Lanthimos’ follow-up to The Lobster is a deliciously twisted and slyly macabre morality tale.

The Princess Bride (PG)

Thu 21 - Thu 28 DecemberDir. Rob Reiner, US, 1987, 98 mins. Cast. Cary Elwes, Robin Wright, Mandy Patinkin.

Journey to a land of giant rodents and Spanish swordsmen with a sparkling new print of a family classic that is as good as you remember it. With quotable lines and plenty of swashes to be buckled this will get everyone in the Christmas mood.

Loving Vincent (12A)

Fri 17 - Thu 23 NovemberDir. Dorota Kobiela, Hugh Welchman, UK/Poland, 2017, 91 mins. Cast. Jerome Flynn, Saoirse Ronan, Aiden Turner.

In a Lonely Place (PG)

Fri 29 Dec - Wed 3 JanDir. Nicholas Ray, US, 1950, 93 mins. Cast. Humphrey Bogart, Gloria Grahame, Frank Lovejoy, Martha Stewart.

When a gifted but washed-up screenwriter with a hair-trigger temper (Bogart, in a revelatory, vulnerable performance) becomes the prime suspect in a brutal Tinseltown murder, the only person who can supply an alibi for him is a seductive neighbour (Grahame) with her own troubled past.

Officer K (Gosling), a new blade runner for the Los Angeles Police Department, unearths a long-buried secret that has the potential to plunge what’s left of society into chaos. One of the most eagerly-anticipated films of 2017 makes it to the big screen and we can’t wait!

Breathe (12A)

Fri 1 - Thu 7 DecemberDir. Andy Serkis, UK, 2017, 114 mins. Cast. Andrew Garfield, Claire Foy, Hugh Bonneville, Tom Hollander.

Breathe is an inspirational love story about two indomitable people who defy the odds and pave the way for change. When Robin Cavendish meets Diana at a cricket match, a whirlwind romance ensues. Based on a true story, the film is emotionally and socially resonant.
