Catch the new releases including:

Enys Men (15)

Until Thu 9 February (excl. Sun). See website for dates and times.

Enys Men is a mind-bending Cornish folk horror set in 1973 that unfolds on an uninhabited island off the Cornish coast. A wildlife volunteer's daily observations of a rare flower take a dark turn into the strange and metaphysical, forcing both her and viewers to question what is real and what is nightmare. Is the landscape not only alive but sentient?

Tár (15)

Fri 3 February - Thu 9 February. See website for dates and times.

The screening on Friday 3 February at 5.30pm is a 'Safe Seating'

Tár, set in the international world of classical music, centres on Lydia Tár, widely considered one of the greatest living composer/conductors and first-ever female chief conductor of a major German orchestra.

Holy Spider (18)

Sat 4 February - Wed 8 February (excl. Sun). See website for dates and times

Denmark's Official Submission to the 2023 Academy Awards, Holy Spider is a gripping and darkly atmospheric crime thriller inspired by the true story of Iran's most notorious serial killer. Set in the holy city of Mashhad, Ali Abbasi's haunting latest feature follows journalist Rahimi (Zar Amir Ebrahimi), as she investigates the murders of several sex workers by the 'Spider Killer', who believes he is on a divine mission to cleanse the city of sinners.

In the gallery see the latest new media exhibition:

A Date With Destiny (NIKLAS GOLDBACH) until 5 FEBRUARY 2023.
