SPECIAL EVENT – Saturday 5pm

We’re thrilled to screen the new movie BREAKWATER this Saturday at 5pm, and to welcome its director Max Morgan and cast members Daniel McNamee and Agnes Halladay for a Q&A session after the film.

Shot in Aldeburgh and Oxford, Breakwater follows the growing relationship between university student, Otto, and retired angler, John. Their lives fuse irreversibly over the shared trauma of losing a loved one, however, their relationship darkens when the past exhumes itself in the form of guilt, grief, and ghosts.

See the BBC’s article about the movie and our screening here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cpvxpvpw0j2o

Breakwater is the first feature film to be made by students at the University of Oxford in forty years, since Privileged in 1982, which starred Hugh Grant and Imogen Stubbs amongst other iconic Oxford alumni in the film industry.

Breakwater was the most-nominated at Raindance Film Festival, the UK's largest independent film festival, and won Best Feature Awards at the London Independent Film Festival and North East International Film Festival in 2025.

Calling all cinephiles..!

Today at 6pm, the incomparable HUGO MAX joins us for an unforgettable screening of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1927 masterwork THE LODGER: A STORY OF THE LONDON FOG, with a live score composed and performed by Hugo himself.

Our audience raved about our 2025 event where Hugo provided live accompaniment to F.W. Murnau’s NOSFERATU, and tonight promises to be equally unmissable.

Hugo joins us as part of his 2026 UK-wide tour. He regularly soundtracks screenings at London’s Prince Charles Cinema and Picturehouse Cinemas and has presented nationwide tours focussing on silent horror, expressionism and the films of F. W. Murnau.
