See it early at our Movie Club Preview on Sunday 2 August at 1:15pm.

Thirty years after his passing, we look back on the films of a master director with KRZYSZTOF KIEŚLOWSKI: TWISTS OF FATE, presenting key works – including the Dekalog and Three Colors series – on Thursday nights, from 13 August to 29 October.

From early realist works in his native Poland to later metaphysical studies of the grand concepts at the core of Western civilisation, Kieślowski’s films provide a masterclass in the dramatisation of ideas, and the power of cinema as a tool for philosophical inquiry.

Tickets are on sale now. 3 & 6-film passes available.
