WICKER (2026) Advance Screening: Wed 4 Nov 7:30pm -🏅Best wicker accessory (basket, hat, bag etc) to win an amazing ‘glow up’ care package from 𝐂𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐒 🧺 Candle - The Woody One + Bush Honey + Bonne Nuit Room Spray + Brightening Face Oil.

On the outskirts of a village by the sea, lives a Fisherwoman; smelly, single and perpetually ridiculed. One day, fed up with her stuffy, small-minded neighbours, she commissions herself a husband to be made from wicker. In an otherwise conservative town, this unconventional romance sparks outrage, jealousy and chaos.

“Brought to life by yet another astounding performance by Olivia Colman and exquisitely shot and designed, Wicker’s treasure is in its hopeless romanticism that insists that pure love and adamant individuality can create irrevocable progress through osmosis.” - Screen Rant

ESCAPE FROM ALCATRAZ (1979): Thursday 15 October 7:30pm -Dirty Harry director Don Siegel reunited with Clint Eastwood for this taut 1979 thriller about real-life bank robber Frank Morris, who led the one possibly successful (bodies were never found) escape attempt from the notorious maximum-security prison on San Francisco’s Alcatraz Island.
“Screenwriter Richard Tuggle and director Don Siegel provide a model of super-efficient filmmaking. From the moment Clint Eastwood walks onto The Rock to the final title card explaining the three escapees were never heard from again, Escape from Alcatraz is relentless in establishing a mood and pace of unrelieved tension”VARIETY

Come see his moody, atmospheric take on BODY SNATCHERS, which feels more timely than ever, then plunge into the grime of his early punk horror shocker THE DRILLER KILLER—with Ferrara himself in the starring role.

DRESSED TO KILL (1980): Thursday 22 October 7:30pm - Brian De Palma ascended to the highest ranks of American suspense filmmaking with this virtuoso, explicit erotic thriller. At once tongue-in-cheek and scary as hell, DRESSED TO KILL revolves around the grisly murder of a woman in Manhattan and how her psychiatrist, her brainiac teenage son, and the pr******te who witnessed the crime try to piece together what happened while the killer remains at large. With its masterfully executed scenes of horror, voluptuous camera work, and passionate score, DRESSED TO KILL is a veritable symphony of terror, enhonced by vivid performances by Angie Dickinson, Michael Caine, ond Nancy Allen.

“One of the most sheerly enjoyable films of recent years, this sophisticated horror comedy, written and directed by Brian De Palma, is permeated with the distilled essence of impure thoughts.” Pauline Kael New Yorker

LA BOLA NEGRA (2026): Sunday 18 October, 3pm - “Love leaves a legacy.” A q***r epic spanning 85 years of Spanish history, inspired by an unfinished work by poet Federico García Lorca and brought to the screen with breathtaking ambition — The Black Ball left Cannes audiences on their feet for 16 minutes, and it’s easy to understand why.

“Nearly every shot is a carefully composed wonder, either an eye-popping still-life tableau or a breathtaking bit of camera movement, all done up in lush, expensive-looking period detail. It is high time we had a gay war epic of this scope and soulfulness and invention.” - Hollywood Reporter
