After inexplicably surviving a mortal wound during a clan battle in the Scottish Highlands in 1536, Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) is accused of witchcraft and banished from his village. Years later, he meets Ramirez (Sean Connery), a swordsman who teaches MacLeod the truth about himself: he belongs to an immortal race who can only die when the head is cut from the body. MacLeod fights his way through the centuries until the time of The Gathering, when the few immortals who have survived the ages will come together to fight until just one remains.

OUR LAND dares to tread where few have trespassed before, asking the timely question of who has the right to roam in the English countryside? The UK is a wild and beautiful place, but the vast majority of it is off limits to the general public, with 92% of land and 97% of all rivers in England not legally accessible. At the same time, it is a landscape shaped by centuries of inheritance and tradition, with land held and cared for by families across multiple generations. OUR LAND takes us to the heart of the ‘Right to Roam’ movement as it embarks on a provocative trail of mass trespass, campaigning and education, while also exploring landowners’ concerns around environmental protection and the danger such widespread access could pose to a landscape already under threat. 

Please note: there are only 5 minutes of trailers playing with this film.

Set high in the majestic French Pyrenees, The Shepherd and the Bear explores a conflict provoked by the reintroduction of brown bears in the midst of a traditional shepherding community.

Wake In Fright (4K Restoration) (18)

Saturday 23 May 20267:30pm Book Now
Ted Kotcheff's Wake In Fright is an early-70s Australian masterpiece balanced on a knife-edge between social realism and existential horror. A middle-class schoolteacher, stuck in a government-enforced teaching post in an arid backwater, stops off in the mining town of Bundanyabba on his way home for the Christmas holidays. Discovering a local gambling craze that may grant him the financial independence to move back to Sydney for good, the opportunity proves irresistible. But the bad decisions are just beginning and a reliance on local standards of hospitality in “the Yabba” may take him on a path darker than ever expected. One of the many triumphs in director Ted Kotcheff’s career, Wake In Fright effortlessly sustains the quality of a sun-baked nightmare, with a relentless forward drive and outstanding performances by Donald Pleasance, Gary Bond, Sylvia Kay, and Chips Rafferty in his final role. A brutal, gripping dissection of the limits of masculinity and amorality to stand alongside Straw Dogs, A Clockwork Orange, and Deliverance, it remains a stunning entry in the envelope-pushing cinema of the early 1970s.
