Welcome to our feature What's on at Watermans this week? rounding up the current cinema, theatre and gallery listings on at Brentford's riverside arts centre.

Living

Living is an adaptation based on Kurosawa's classic film, Ikiru'. It is set in 1953 London, still recovering from WWII. It follows the story of an ordinary man, Williams (Bill Nighy), a veteran civil servant reduced by years of oppressive office routine, to a shadow existence when a medical diagnosis forces him to take stock – and to try and grasp fulfilment in life before it all slips away.

Call Jane

Chicago, 1968. As a city and the nation are poised on the brink of violent political upheaval, suburban housewife Joy leads an ordinary life with her husband and daughter. When Joy's pregnancy leads to a life-threatening condition, she must navigate a medical establishment unwilling to help. Her journey to find a solution to an impossible situation leads her to the "Janes," a clandestine organisation of women who provide Joy with a safer alternative — and in the process, change her life.

Neptune Frost

Neptune Frost takes place in the hilltops of Burundi, where a group of escaped coltan miners form an anti-colonialist computer hacker collective. From their camp in an otherworldly e-waste dump, they attempt a takeover of the authoritarian regime exploiting the region's natural resources – and its people. When an intersex runaway and an escaped miner find each other through cosmic forces, their connection sparks glitches within the greater divine circuitry. 

Clifford The Big Red Dog

Family Cinema entertainment in Brentford this week is in the hands of a giant red dog. When Emily Elizabeth meets a magical animal rescuer who gives her a little red puppy, she never anticipated waking up to find a giant, 10-foot hound in her small New York City apartment.

With her single mother away on business, Emily and her fun but impulsive uncle set out on an adventure that takes a bite out of the Big Apple.

All That Breathes

Amidst the darkening backdrop of Delhi's apocalyptic air and escalating violence, two brothers devote their lives to protect one casualty of the turbulent times: the bird known as the Black Kite.

Environmental Magic

Be surprised and spellbound by Megan Swann's magic show Environmental Magic, a fantastic show part of Watermans Season For Change programme of artistic and cultural events to celebrate the environment and to inspire us to take action on climate change.
