Viewing Archived Events
Wurlitza: The Kid + One Week
We are delighted to welcome back Wurlitza for a live performance and screening of two rare gems, Charlie Chaplin’s The Kid and Buster Keaton’s One Week.
Holy Spider (18)
With blistering intent, Abbasi reconfigures the tropes of the serial-killer genre, creating a film that not only grapples with the attempt to bring a criminal to justice but examines what really stands for ‘justice’ in this world.
Alcarràs (15)
The first Catalan-language film to win the Berlinale’s Golden Bear award, Carla Simón’s second feature following her debut Summer 1993 is a gorgeously shot, immersive and naturalistic ode to living and landscape.
Relaxed Screening: A Love Song (PG)
Everyone is welcome to Relaxed screenings, but we have made them especially suitable to those with Dementia, Autism, and anyone who finds standard screenings overwhelming.
Empire of Light (15)
Hilary (Olivia Colman) manages a seafront picture palace in Margate. Once an opulent multiscreen cinema with a dance hall overlooking the sea, now only one screen remains open. A stirring ode to the cinema as a space for collective experience.
Bringing In Baby: Empire of Light
Sociable screening for parents, grandparents and carers of babies under 12 months. Breastfeeding friendly, access to warm water and changing facilities, and no need to worry if baby makes a noise!
Aftersun (12A)
The stunning debut from Scottish writer-director Charlotte Wells, Aftersun juxtaposes a hopeful coming-of-age story with a poignant, intimate family portrait that leaves an indelible impression.

Thank you so much to everybody who donated to our Crowdfunder campaign!
We’ll be in touch with donors by email before the end of January with details about rewards.
We exceeded our target of £10,000 to raise £11,745, and were blown away by all the kind comments of love and support.
Thanks to Plymouth City Council who donated £5000 to the campaign from the City Change Fund.
Big thanks to the our brilliant suppliers and cultural partners across Plymouth who donated rewards: Salcombe Dairy, Summerskills Brewery, Canton Tea, Tolchards, Ocean Studios, Plymouth Gin.
As the cost of living crisis bites, we don’t want people to break the habit of coming to the cinema because it’s something they can no longer afford. There’s no better way to watch a film than to make an event of it and see it on the big screen, with an audience. You won’t be asked any questions if you choose this price point, just choose the Budget Ticket option when you book.
