The Fabelmans (12A)

Friday 10 until Thu 16 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.

Babylon (18)

Fri 10 February - Thu 16 February. See website for dates and times.

From Damien Chazelle, Babylon is an original epic set in 1920s Los Angeles led by Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie and Diego Calva, with an ensemble cast including Jean Smart, Jovan Adepo and Li Jun Li. A tale of outsized ambition and outrageous excess, it traces the rise and fall of multiple characters during an era of unbridled decadence and depravity in early Hollywood.

Royal Opera House Cinema Screening:

The Barber of Seville (12A)

Wed 15 February, 7pm. See website for dates and times

With vocal fireworks, scheming lovers and one very busy barber, Rossini's comic opera is packed with fun and mischief. When Rosina falls in love with a mysterious young suitor who calls himself Lindoro, she must use all her cunning – and a little help from her local barber – to outwit her calculating guardian Dr Bartolo.

National Theatre Screening:

The Crucible (12A) - Encore

Sunday 12 February, 2:30pm

A witch hunt is beginning in Arthur Miller's captivating parable of power with Erin Doherty (The Crown) and Brendan Cowell(Yerma).

Raised to be seen but not heard, a group of young women in Salem suddenly find their words have an almighty power. As a climate of fear, vendetta and accusation spreads through the community, no one is safe from trial.

In the gallery see the latest new media exhibition:

The Museum of Dating (VALENTINA PERI)

Fri 10 February until Sunday 23 April 2023.

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.
