THE HELLSTROM CHRONICLE (1971): Sunday 14 June 4pm* Perhaps one of the strangest films to ever win the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature, portraying in stunning detail, a war we did not know we were fighting: the struggle between humankind and the insects that are determined to take over the planet. Director Walon Green and his team of cinematographers macro-photographed the vicious insect world with microscopic and telescopic lenses, and sometimes in stop-motion ... Stringing this parade of violence, seduction, and survival together is Dr. Nils Hellstrom, a fictitious entomologist played by Lawrence Pressman.

🎵 HIGH FIDELITY (2000): Saturday 6 June 6:30pm - Record store manager and list-compiler-extrordinaire Rob Gordon’s (John Cusack) girlfriend has left him, sending him on a mission to find out what went wrong, and what were his all time, top five, most painful breakups ever.

“Few films capture the cultural zeitgeist of Generation X quite like High Fidelity (2000). Adapted from Nick Hornby’s novel, it is a time capsule of a world when physical media reigned supreme, music snobs debated endlessly in record stores, and flannel-clad cynicism was the fashion of the day.” - In Session Film

ALL THAT JAZZ (1979): Friday 5 June 8pm - This fascinating, imaginative and intimate biographical musical drama is a startlingly candid testament from the late Bob Fosse, gifted dancer, brilliant choreographer and Oscar-winning director of Cabaret. Sensational dancing and eye-popping production numbers punctuate the confessional reminiscences of arrogant, satirical theatrical eminence Joe Gideon as he flirts with Death. Starring Roy Scheider.

DJANGO UNCHAINED (2012): Saturday 6 June 3pm - The “D” is silent, though the name of “Django Unchained‘s” eponymous gunslinger sounds like a retaliatory whip across the face of white slaveholders, offering an immensely satisfying taste of antebellum empowerment packaged as spaghetti-Western homage. Directed by Quentin Tarantino.

“Django Unchained doesn’t merely hit its marks; it blows them to bloody chunks. It’s manna for mayhem mavens.” - New York Magazine

POWER BALLAD (2026): Thursday 4 June 7:30pm - Writer-director John Carney (Sing Street, Once), offers “a sharp, hopeful crowdpleaser that strikes the right notes” a feel-good story about music, self-respect, friendship, and the price of ambition starring Paul Rudd & Nick Jonas.

“Power Ballad continues Carney’s long run of success with yet another charmer. Of course, it’s easy to charm when you have Paul Rudd as your center.” - Screen Rant
