Truth:
The story of The Killian Documents controversy (a.k.a. "Rathergate") in the days leading up to the 2004 presidential election.

April Film - 45 Years - First Screening, Monday, 11th April, 5.35pm

The second screening of the April film - 45 Years- will be Wednesday, 20th April at 7.20pm at the Belgrave Cinema.

Striking a very different note from our last film ...

Winners of Best Actor and Actress at the Berlin IFF, Tom Courtenay and Charlotte Rampling (also nominated for an Oscar) portray a long-married couple suddenly prompted to wonder how well they really know each other when a letter arrives which raises a ghost from the past.  A wry, witty, wonderfully true-to-life drama that leaves a very big impression.  One of the finest British films of recent years.

99 Homes is a powerful, intelligent film depicting the life of a family evicted from their foreclosed home in Florida when the father becomes unemployed.  Their move into a cheap motel prompts him to do whatever it takes to get their house back.  Tautly constructed, the film critiques the class divides in US society where everyone, even those living on the margins, wants to follow the American dream of having their own home.

FAR FROM MEN

Set during the Algerian rebellion against French rule in 1953, this highly-acclaimed, multi award-winning French drama is based on a short story by Albert Camus.  It stars Viggo Mortensen as Daru, a quiet, self-possessed colonial teacher, who accompanies Mohammed, a villager accused of murder, as they flee across the Atlas Mountains.  Solid, compassionate acting by Mortensen proves he is perfectly cast.

Season passes for the 2016/17 season (starting March 2016) will be available at the Belgrave Cinema from 8th February. Join us for another season of films such as 99 Homes (March), 45 Years (April),
