The Happy Prince (15)
Friday 20th July at 7.30pm Dir. Rupert Everett| 2018 Ger/Belg/UK/Italy 105 mins | Cast Rupert Everett, Colin Firth, Emily Watson, Colin Morgan Under the microscope of death Oscar Wilde reviews the failed attempt to reconcile with his long suffering wife Constance, the ensuing reprisal of his fatal love affair with Lord Alfred Douglas and the warmth and devotion of Robbie Ross who tried and failed to save him from himself.

The Bookshop (PG)
Saturday 28th July at 7.30pm Dir. Isabel Coixet |2018 Sp/UK/Ger 113 mins | Cast Emily Mortimer, Bill Nighy, Patricia Clarkson, Hunter Tremayne Florence Green risks everything to open a bookshop. By exposing the local townsfolk to the best literature of the day, she opens their eyes. Her activities bring her a kindred spirit and ally, Mr Brundish who is sick of the town’s stale atmosphere. This mini social revolution soon brings her fierce enemies: she invites the hostility of the town’s less prosperous shopkeepers and Mrs. Gamart.
Swimming With Men (12A)
Saturday 4th August at 7.30pm Dir. Oliver Parker|2018 UK 97 mins|Cast Rob Brydon, Charlotte Riley, Daniel Mays, Jane Horrocks Faced with a full-blown mid-life crisis, accountant Eric joins an all-male group of synchronised swimmers, discovering that making patterns in a pool can, for a couple of hours at least, smooth out the bumps in his work and marriage. Initially keeping their personal lives in the locker, the ramshackle squad and coach Susan slowly learn to reveal their inner lives. But can they get their lives and routines in sync as they embark on an unlikely journey to compete in the World Championship?
Whitney (15)
Saturday 11th August at 7.30pm Dir. Kevin Macdonald|2018 UK | USA 120 mins This haunting, richly contextualised documentary portrait celebrates the pop supernova who became a one-woman hit factory in the 1980s and ‘90s. But it delves more deeply into the troubled persona behind the prodigiously talented star. Houston was beset by issues of image and identity, sexuality and childhood trauma that became more combustible under the pressures of a bad marriage, a drug habit and a stinging betrayal by the father she idolised.
