THE ARTIST’S GARDEN: AMERICAN IMPRESSIONISM
Exhibition On Screen
Following the smash hit ‘Vermeer: The Greatest Exhibition’ we bring back two of the best Exhibition on Screen films of the last few years. This is based on the hugely popular exhibition ‘The Artist’s Garden: American Impressionism and the Garden Movement’ from the Florence Griswold Museum in Connecticut, widely considered a home of American Impressionism. American Impressionism took its lead from French artists like Renoir and Monet but followed its own path that over a thirty-year period reveals as much about America as a nation as it does about a much-loved artistic movement. The story of American Impressionism is closely tied to a love of gardens and a desire to preserve nature in a rapidly urbanizing nation. Travelling to studios, gardens and treasured locations throughout the Eastern United States, UK and France, this mesmerising film is a feast for the eyes. UK 2017 PHIL GRABSKY 90M

Back By Popular Demand The Unlikely Pilgrimage Of Harold Fry
Harold Fry is an ordinary man who has passed through life, living on the sidelines, until he goes to post a letter one day... and just keeps walking. Jim Broadbent and Penelope Wilton star.
Harold (Broadbent) discovers that a former friend and colleague of twenty years ago, Queenie Hennessy, has cancer and is in a hospice in Berwick-upon-Tweed. The doctors say there is nothing to be done for her. Instead of posting his feeble letter of condolence, Harold instead embarks on a 600-mile walk from Devon to Berwickupon-Tweed, believing that in some way his journey will help his friend to live. “Tell her I’m going to keep walking and she must keep living”, he says to the operator before embarking on his journey. Based on the 2013 Booker long-listed novel by Rachel Joyce, this is sentimental but not cloying and will no doubt have you rummaging for your tissues. Back after sell-out screenings in May.

Follows the life of beloved actor and advocate Michael J. Fox, exploring his personal and professional triumphs and travails, and what happens when an incurable optimist confronts an incurable disease.
Incorporating documentary, archival and scripted elements, we follow Fox’s extraordinary story in his own words - the improbable tale of an undersized kid from a Canadian army base who rose to the heights of stardom in 1980s Hollywood. The account of Fox’s public life, full of nostalgic thrills and cinematic gloss, will unspool alongside his never-before-seen private journey, including the years that followed his diagnosis, at 29, with Parkinson’s disease. Poignant and profound, this documentary explores what happens when an incurable optimist confronts an incurable disease. With a mix of adventure and romance, comedy and drama, watching the film will feel like... well, like a Michael J. Fox movie.

This intimate portrait of The Bookstore and the family at its heart offers a journey through good times, hard times, and the stories hidden on the shelves. Lovers of books, and especially bookstores, will be swept away by this real-life survival story.

Medusa Deluxe
A fun and extravagant murder mystery that shines a light on the beauty of hairdressing whilst leaving audiences guessing in this quick-witted whodunit.
This comedic murder mystery filmed in one-shot, surrounds a group of hairdressers at a regional hairdressing competition. Their work comes to a grinding halt after the discovery that the rumoured frontrunner has been killed - from here this fun film unfolds into a story of detective work, rivalry and artistic obsession. Visually stunning with skilful editing and cinematography, these two crafts complement each other perfectly here, with the most impressive being the way it looks due to the cinematography work of Director of Photography Robbie Ryan - Oscar nominated for ‘The Favourite’ and ‘Fish Tank’. ‘Medusa Deluxe’ leaves audiences guessing until the very end about not only who committed the crime but how exactly Hardiman was able to pull off such a visually delightful feature debut.

Benjamin Millepied’s complete reimagining of ‘Carmen’ tells a story through an experimental dreamscape featuring an original score and songs.
This is a gritty modern-day tale, with a majestic score by Nicholas Britell, and dream-like dance sequences that evoke magic realism. The story follows a young and fiercely independent woman who is forced to flee her home in the Mexican desert following the brutal murder of her mother. She heads for Los Angeles where her mother’s best friend owns a nightclub. Loosely based on Georges Bizet’s eponymous opera, this film revels in stylistic excesses that are always creative and often exhilarating. You’ll see lots of movies in 2023, and you’ll forget most of them. But ‘Carmen’ is so sincerely passionate and peculiar that you’re bound to remember it.

Mother And Son Un Petit Fr Re
In the 80s, this lovely film sees Rose moves from the Ivory Coast to Paris with her two young sons. Over the next 20 years, their family is constructed and deconstructed.
A son remembers his single mother: her wayward passions, her boyfriends, her yearning unhappiness - which he can see now but couldn’t then. He and his brother experienced the toughest of upbringings with her, as immigrants from the Ivory Coast in 1990s France. It is a narrative that is to end with mother and son meeting as adults, although these two people will perhaps never be able to see each other as such; never be able to decide if this a grownup moment for forgiveness or accusation, or if the burden of silence imposed by love has finally lifted.

Starring Mark Rylance, ‘Inland’ is a modern fairy tale that explores the fractured identity of a young man after the mysterious disappearance of his mother.
A young man of Romani descent returns to his hometown of Gloucester where he is met by local garage mechanic, Dunleavy (Rylance). They embrace, smiling, but what past does the young man carry with him? What awaits him back amongst people he doesn’t really understand and who don’t understand him? And what lurks in the forest, watching, silent, old as the trees? ‘Inland’ is an impressionist experience that dips into folklore horror, while also putting as much emphasis on realism and the psychological effects of abandonment. Verging on the experimental, this is a daring dance with the form and traditional rules of storytelling.

Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny
Daredevil archaeologist Indiana Jones races against time to retrieve a legendary dial that can change the course of history. Finding himself in a new era, approaching retirement, Indy wrestles with fitting into a world that seems to have outgrown him. But as the tentacles of an all-too-familiar evil return in the form of an old rival, Indy must don his hat and pick up his whip once more to make sure an ancient and powerful artifact doesn’t fall into the wrong hands. The titular MacGuffin can alter history and now the Nazis are after it. It will have been 15 years since ‘Kingdom of the Crystal Skull’, and this time the stellar cast includes Phoebe Waller-Bridge as Indy’s goddaughter, Mads Mikkelsen in villainous mode, as well as John Rhys-Davies and Antonio Banderas. This is an exuberant action flick that is highlighted by the charm and charisma of Harrison Ford, and it contains lots of satisfying fan service. From old friends popping up, to familiar situations unfolding in different ways, to a nice little spin on the iconic scene from the first film where our intrepid archaeologist lies bruised and battered. His girlfriend commented on how many years he’s been doing the punishing gig, and Indy ad-libbed, “It’s not the years, honey. It’s the mileage”.

I, CLAUDE MONET
Exhibition On Screen
Following the smash hit ‘Vermeer: The Greatest Exhibition’ we bring back two of the best Exhibition on Screen films of the last few years. This second offering is from award-winning director Phil Grabsky, providing a fresh new look at arguably the world’s favourite artist - through his own words.
Using letters and other private writings ‘I, Claude Monet’ reveals new insight into the man who not only painted the picture that gave birth to Impressionism but who was perhaps the most influential and successful painter of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Despite this, and perhaps because of it, Monet’s life is a gripping tale about a man who, behind his sun-dazzled canvases, suffered from feelings of depression, loneliness, even suicide. Then, as his art developed and his love of gardening led to the glories of his garden at Giverney, his humour, insight and love of life is revealed. Shot on location in Paris, London, Normandy and Venice, ‘I, Claude Monet’ is a cinematic immersion into some of the most loved scenes in Western Art.

When ‘Fleabag’ was first released in 2019 it was a smash hit and rapidly became the highest grossing UK Event Cinema title of all time. It recently won ‘Event Cinema Release of the Decade’, so we are delighted to give audiences across the country another chance to watch Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s iconic one-woman show. Written and performed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge and directed by Vicky Jones, ‘Fleabag’ is a rip-roaring look at some sort of woman living her sort of life. Fleabag may seem oversexed, emotionally unfiltered and self-obsessed, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. With family and friendships under strain and a guinea pig café struggling to keep afloat, Fleabag suddenly finds herself with nothing to lose. Playing to sold-out audiences in New York and London, don’t miss your chance to see this “legitimately hilarious show” (New Yorker).
