However, the legacy of Ava’s previous relationship and Ali’s emotional turmoil at the breakdown of his marriage begins to overshadow their newfound passion.

This film is an endeavour to consider cows. To move us closer to them. To see both their beauty and the challenge of their lives. Not in a romantic way but in a real way. A film of one dairy cow’s reality, acknowledging her great service to us. Andrea Arnold’s British Independent Film Awards- and Cannes-nominated documentary refrains from making judgements about the dairy industry, but doesn’t hold back from showing us the reality of it.

Alexia is a young woman who suffers a terrible injury and has a titanium plate fitted into her head.

Will their bodies help them find a way to deal with their emotional problems?
Another fascinating slice of body horror from the maker of RAW, and winner of the 2021 Palme d’Or at Cannes.

When riverboat mogul ‘Steamboat Bill’ calls Bill Jr. (Keaton) home to help with the family business, he discovers to his immense displeasure that his son is dating the daughter of his arch rival in the riverboat business. Set in a painstakingly recreated Southern town – which Keaton spectacularly destroys in the final cyclone sequence – this Romeo-and-Juliet feel- good comedy is peppered with astonishing stunts and effects. This screening will be brought to life by pianist Jonny Best’s fantastic live improvised score.
