The Fabelmans (12A)

Until Thu 23 February. See website for dates and times

A deeply personal portrait of a 20th century American childhood, Steven Spielberg's The Fabelmans is a cinematic memory of the forces, and family, that shaped the filmmaker's life and career. A universal coming-of-age story about an isolated young man's pursuit of his dreams, the film is an exploration of love, artistic ambition, sacrifice and the moments of discovery that allow us to see the truth about ourselves, and our parents, with clarity and compassion.

Saint Omer (12A)

Fri 17 February - Thu 23 February. See website for dates and times.

With Saint Omer, acclaimed filmmaker Alice Diop delivers a riveting and utterly unmissable courtroom drama. The film follows novelist Rama who attends the trial of Laurence Coly, a young woman accused of killing her 15-month-old daughter. As the legal proceedings move forward, the words of the accused along with witness testimonies begin to shake Rama's convictions and call into question both her judgement and that of the viewer. Featuring an array of outstanding performances, this film will keep you gripped to the final moments.

Please note: The 'safe seating' screening is on Friday 17 February at 6.15pm.

EO (15)

Fri 17 February - Thu 23 February. See website for dates and times.

EO, a grey donkey with melancholic eyes and a curious spirit, begins his life as a circus performer before escaping on a trek across the Polish and Italian countryside. During his travels, he encounters an eclectic cast of characters, including a countess, a young Italian priest and a riotous Polish football team. EO's journey speaks to the world around us, an equine hero boldly pointing out societal ills, and serving as warning to the dangers of neglect and inaction, all while on a quest for freedom.

Please note: This film is also showing on Sunday 19 February as part of the Polish Film Talk at 1pm

The Parent and Baby screening is on Wednesday 22 February at 11.30am

Special Event Screenings:

Othello (12A) – National Theatre Live

Thurs 23 February, 7:00pm

An extraordinary new production of Shakespeare's most enduring tragedy, directed by Clint Dyer with a cast that includes Giles Terera (Hamilton), Rosy McEwean (The Alienist) and Paul Hilton (The Inheritance).

The Museum of Dating (VALENTINA PERI)

Until Sunday 23 April 2023, FREE.

Online dating has only recently become a culturally and socially acceptable phenomenon, but the use of technology to match singles has a long history. In the 1960s, computerized dating systems appeared in the Anglo-American world, which worked through questionnaires and customized algorithms. The aim of the exhibition "The Museum of Dating" is to place the contemporary phenomenon of online dating within a spectrum of older technologies, practices, narratives, cultural and media artifacts.

Friday Nights Live:

The Pepper Pot: Hosted by Andrew Pepper

17 March, 8:30pm

Brace yourselves, Brentford! ANDREW PEPPER is flying for one night only. And you'd better be hungry 'cos he's bringing a cabaret feast.

Dale will be raiding her silly stable to bring you a manicured handful of barmy, bonkers and frankly baffling characters for your very own delectation. With ALEX MAYNARD on piano, and TRISTAN BUTLER thrashing it out on the drums, get ready to kick off the weekend in style.
