Seventy-five years before Bob Fosse’s Broadway musical, the true story of jazz-loving murderess Roxie Hart was brought to the screen by Cecil B. DeMille.
After murdering her lover, Roxie Hart teams up with an unscrupulous lawyer, Billy Flynn, and fellow murderess Velma Kelly, to milk her trial for publicity and become famous. A cracking satire on fame and the media, Cecil B. DeMille’s film is as sensational as the real-life scandal on which it’s based.
Chicago is accompanied by a four-piece band playing a specially created 1920s-style musical score.
Brighten your weekend with three fantastic Laurel and Hardy silent film comedies, brought to life with live piano. In Duck Soup they pose as aristocrats and squat in a stately mansion. In Two Tars they’re sailors on shore leave, and in Big Business they try selling Christmas trees in sunny Los Angeles. Whatever these two get up to, they make a mess of it!

As the investigation into the murder begins, rumours quickly spread, while some competitors continue to work on their artistic creations to prove themselves despite the event’s cancellation. A fun, quick-witted whodunit, skilfully told in a one-shot format, sees extravagance and excess collide in this feature debut from writer/director Thomas Hardiman.

During the last desperate days of WWII, a solitary prospector crosses paths with Nazis on a scorched-earth retreat in northern Finland. When the Nazis steal his gold, they quickly discover they have just tangled with no ordinary miner. No matter what the Nazis throw at him, this one-man death squad will go to outrageous lengths to regain his gold. This deliriously gory grindhouse pastiche sets about its task with inventive, messy, cartoonish and hugely satisfying abandon.

Amanda is 24, lives alone and has never had any close friends. Her family barely tolerates her self-absorbed neediness. Achingly lonely and angry at childhood events that she believes have robbed her of connection with the wider world, she is fixated on the past. When she learns that she once had a friend, Rebecca, as a toddler, she embarks on a quest to reignite that relationship. A quirky, unconventional and deadpan funny study of offbeat female friendship.
