His fantasy quickly turns into reality when the bandmates and former lovers accept his invitation to play a private show at his home on Wallis Island. Old tensions resurface as Charles desperately tries to salvage his dream gig.

 

Featuring the comedic genius of Tim Key and Tom Basden with the ever-luminous Carey Mulligan, THE BALLAD OF WALLIS ISLAND is irresistibly charming, laugh-out-loud funny and brimming with original music, including performances from the cast.

New German Cinema pioneer Wim Wenders brings his keen eye for landscape to the American Southwest in Paris, Texas, a profoundly moving character study written by Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright Sam Shepard. Paris, Texas follows the mysterious, nearly mute drifter Travis (a magnificent Harry Dean Stanton, whose face is a landscape all its own) as he tries to reconnect with his young son, living with his brother (Dean Stockwell) in Los Angeles, and his missing wife (Nastassja Kinski). From this simple setup, Wenders and Shepard produce a powerful statement on codes of masculinity and the myth of the American family, as well as an exquisite visual exploration of a vast, crumbling world of canyons and neon.

Our Gala Screening on 29th August celebrates the film's 50th Anniversary, our 50th Anniversary and the 50th birthday of our programmer, Dan. We're celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the film that defied all the odds - over budget and more than 100 days over-schedule, Jaws seemed like a box office disaster in waiting. But when it was released in June 1975 it became the most successful film ever made and won three Oscars including one for its now-legendary score by John Williams. We're honoured to share our 50th Anniversary with this milestone. When the seaside community of Amity finds itself under attack by a dangerous great white shark, the town's chief of police, a young marine biologist and a grizzled shark hunter embark on a desperate quest to destroy the beast before it strikes again.

Islands is a contemporary, intelligent thriller with noirish undertones and stylistic echoes of Alfred Hitchcock and Patricia Highsmith, stunningly shot against the sun-drenched volcanic landscapes of the Canary Islands.

Sam Riley delivers a career-best performance as a washed-up tennis coach caught up in a strange disappearance in this blisteringly hot noir thriller. A less-than-enthusiastic tennis coach for tourists at an all-inclusive resort in the Canary Islands, Tom spends his evenings drinking himself into abandon. Although his schedule is full for the week, he accepts the son of a sophisticated female guest and soon finds himself spending more time with the boy and his parents. But as peculiar tensions surface, Tom finds himself drawn deeper into their mysterious world. Jan-Ole Gerster’s seductive, slow-burn thriller gradually ramps-up the tension, while Dascha Dauenhauer’s moody score emphasises the film’s fever-dream mood and hints at the unease that threatens Tom’s world.

In association with Brighten The Corners. Followed by a 90s indie DJ set at The Church from 9pm. Entry to the DJ set is free and is restricted to 18+. 

From Alex Ross Perry, the acclaimed director of Her Smell and Listen Up Philip and a distinctive voice in post-mumblecore cinema, comes an irreverent, genre-bending portrait of the iconic '90s indie rock band Pavement. Premiering at the 2024 Venice Film Festival, Pavements blends authentic archival footage, contemporary documentary moments, an ironic jukebox musical, a satirical Hollywood biopic, and playful mockumentary sequences, brilliantly collapsing the boundaries between reality and fiction.

As Pavement prepare for their sold-out 2022 reunion tour, the film captures surreal behind-the-scenes preparations for a musical adaptation of their songs, a museum dedicated entirely to the band's legacy, and a knowingly clichéd Hollywood biopic starring Joe Keery as frontman Stephen Malkmus.

Interwoven with genuine archival footage and featuring the band members themselves alongside a cast of actors and comedians, Pavements humorously examines fan obsession, myth-making, and the cultural mechanics behind fame. This uniquely layered exploration challenges the traditional way stories about musicians are told with artistry, absurdity and humor, culminating in a refreshingly inventive and endearingly self-aware tribute to an unforgettable band.

Starring Joe Keery, Jason Schwartzman, Tim Heidecker, Kathryn Gallagher, Michael Esper, and Zoe Lister-Jones, and as themselves: Stephen Malkmus, Scott 'Spiral Stairs' Kannberg, Mark Ibold, Steve West, and Bob Nastanovich. Editing by non-fiction innovator Robert Greene (Procession).
