Catch the new releases including: 

The Holdovers (15) - Fri 1 – Thu 7 March (excl. Mon and Tues). See website for times 

From acclaimed director Alexander Payne, The Holdovers follow a curmudgeonly instructor (Paul Giamatti) at a prestigious American school who is forced to remain on campus during Christmas break to babysit the handful of students with nowhere to go.

Eventually he forms an unlikely bond with one of them -- a damaged, brainy troublemaker (newcomer Dominic Sessa) -- and with the school's head cook, who has just lost a son in Vietnam (Da'Vine Joy Randolph).

The Settlers (PG) - Fri 1 – Thu 7 March (excl. Mon and Tues). See website for times

From BAFTA nominated writer and director, Nikolaj Arcel (A Royal Affair, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), comes a powerful Nordic epic starring Mads Mikkelsen (The Hunt, Another Round).

In 1755, the impoverished Captain Ludvig Kahlen sets out to conquer the uninhabitable Danish heath in the name of the King.  

American Fiction (15) - Fri 1 - Thu 7 March. See website for times.

Cord Jefferson's hilarious directorial debut, which confronts our culture's obsession with reducing people to outrageous stereotypes.

Jeffrey Wright stars as Monk, a frustrated novelist who is fed up with the establishment profiting from "Black" entertainment that relies on tired and offensive tropes.

To prove his point, Monk uses a pen name to write an outlandish "Black" book of his own, a book that propels him to the heart of hypocrisy and the madness he claims to disdain.

Special Event Cinema:

Exhibitions on Screen: Painting the Modern Garden – Monet to Matisse (Cert TBC) - Sat 2 March, 2pm

Claude Monet was an avid horticulturist and arguably the most important painter of gardens in the history of art, but he was not alone.

Great artists like Van Gogh, Bonnard, Sorolla, Sargent, Pissarro and Matisse all saw the garden as a powerful subject for their art.

These great artists, along with many other famous names, feature in an innovative and extensive exhibition from the Royal Academy of Art, London. 

In the gallery see the latest new media exhibition:

Tenderly Towards the Tipping Point - Until Sun 14 Jan (Excl. Mon & Tues), FREE - Kaushal Sapre, Mohit Shelare, Sonam Chaturvedi, Aasma Tulika, Bazik Thlana.

How can an exhibition occupy time? Watermans presents a group of leading contemporary artists from India with a radical approach to the use of a wide variety of media in their art.

Tenderly Towards the Tipping Point brings together a multitude of artistic responses to time and the imposition of time.
