One Life (12A)  - Fri 12 - Thu 18 January (excl. Mon and Tue). See website for times. 

One Life tells the true story of Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton, a young London broker who, along with Trevor Chadwick and Doreen Warinner of the British Committee for Refugees in Czechoslovakia, rescued 669 children from the Nazis in the months leading up to World War II. 

Fifty years later, it’s 1988 and Nicky (played by Anthony Hopkins) lives haunted by the fate of the children he wasn’t able to bring to safety in England; always blaming himself for not doing more.  

Sweet Sue (15) - Fri 12 -Thu 18 January, (excl. Sun & Mon and Tue). See website for times

Fifty-something Sue (Maggie O’Neill) is now back on the dating scene. She meets a mysterious biker called Ron (Tony Pitts) at her brother's funeral and sparks fly.

But when she meets Ron’s social-media influencer son Anthony (Harry Trevaldwyn), Sue finds herself in an increasingly surreal battle of wills with this ambitious teenager who is convinced that his dance troupe ‘Electric Destiny’ is tipped for stardom. Will she find the purpose and imagination to bring this little unconventional family together for a chance at happiness?

The Lost Boys (12A) - Wed 10 & Thu 11 January. See website for times.

Joe is about to be released from a youth detention centre. Should the judge approve his discharge, he will be allowed to live on his own. But when a new detainee, William, arrives in his facility, Joe starts to question his desire for freedom.

Special Event Cinema:

French Impressions: Driving Madeleine (15) - Saturday 13 January, Film talk at 1pm; Film Screening at 2.30pm

In this heart-warming drama, a taxi driver Charles (Dany Boon) takes his passenger, 92-year-old Madeleine to a retirement home. This is where she will spend the rest of her days and so requests the scenic route across Paris. During their journey Charles hears the stories of Madeleine's life and forms a mutual respect and friendship for her.

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.
