1.Fallen Leaves (12A)  

About:  Winner of the Jury Prize at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. 

Award-winning filmmaker Aki Kaurismäki (Le Havre, The Other Side of Hope) makes a masterful return with Fallen Leaves, a timeless, hopeful and ultimately satisfying love story about two lonely souls’ path to happiness – and the numerous hurdles they encounter along the way.

Set in contemporary Helsinki, and shot through with Kaurismäki’s typically playful, idiosyncratic style and deadpan humour, this tender romantic tragicomedy is a timely reminder of the potency of movie-going from one of cinema’s living legends.

2. A Christmas Carol

About: Charles Dickens' classic Christmas tale comes to the beautiful Boston Manor House this December, presented by The Arts Centre Hounslow, reimagined as a live radio play.

It's Christmas Eve, and Ebenezer Scrooge is alone in his room, dreaming of money. Except... he's not alone. As the night draws on, spirits come to him; spirits of his past, his present, and his future.

With each toll of the clock, Scrooge is forced to confront the idea that there is more to life than money... but can he change his ways before it is too late?

When: Thur, 7 Dec - Sun 24 Dec. See website for times.

Where: Boston Manor House, TW8 9JX.

3. The Pixie & The Pudding - Christmas Show 2023

About: It's Christmas Eve on the farm, and the chickens, pigs and cows are fast asleep. Inside the farmhouse, the fire is roaring and a delicious, steaming pudding is left out on the windowsill.

When Charlie and her dad move to the farm from the city, everything seems to go wrong. Dolly the cow's in a grump, there's not an egg to be found, and even the cockerel has stopped crowing! If only they'd paid attention to the mysterious note left on their windowsill about a curious pixie and the pudding she likes to eat on Christmas Eve…

This enchanting musical brings a tale from Scandinavian folklore to life with puppetry, original music and a sprinkling of pixie magic.

When: Sat, 9 Dec, 1:30pm and Sun, 10 Dec, 4:30pm

Where: 40 High St, Brentford TW8 0DS
