Close - Due to very high demand extra tickets have been released - book now and don't miss out!
Directed by Lukas Dhont (Belgium, France, Netherlands | 104 min | 2022 | 15A)
The intense friendship between two 13-year-old boys Leo and Remi suddenly gets disrupted. Struggling to understand what has happened; Leo approaches Sophie, Remi’s mother. A beautiful and moving film about friendship and responsibility, Close won the Grand Prix at Cannes Film Festival in 2022.

Triangle of Sadness - Last few tickets left - don't miss out!
Directed by Ruben Östlund (Sweden, Germany, France, United Kingdom | 142 min | 2022)
An uninhibited satire where roles and class are inverted and the tawdry economic value of beauty is unveiled. Models Carl and Yaya are navigating the world of fashion while exploring the boundaries of their relationship. The couple are invited for a luxury cruise with a rogues’ gallery of super-rich passengers, a Russian oligarch, British arms dealers and an idiosyncratic, alcoholic, Marx-quoting captain. At first, all appears Instagrammable. But a storm is brewing, and the cruise ends catastrophically. Carl and Yaya find themselves marooned on a desert island with a group of billionaires and one of the ship’s cleaners. Hierarchy is suddenly flipped upside down, as the housekeeper is the only one who knows how to fish.

Directed by Emin Alper (Turkey, France, Germany, Netherlands, Greece, Croatia | 130 min | 2022)
Emre is a prosecutor, young, ambitious and dedicated. He is appointed to a position in a small, remote town, drastically hit by a water crisis and rife with political scandal. After an initially steady start and seemingly accepted into the community, Emre becomes inadvertently embroiled in an incident which could devastate his career. In this superbly crafted Turkish thriller, director Emin Alper expertly lets the tension bubble under the surface whilst gradually turning the thumbscrews and keeping the viewer guessing until the intense climax.
