Viewing Archived Events
French Film Festival
We’re delighted to welcome the French Film Festival UK for a selection of screenings featuring previews of some of the finest new French cinema from some of the country’s most exciting filmmaking talent both in front of and behind the camera.
Dany/Mon Ket (15) – French Film Festival
Dany is serving a long-term prison sentence, which he intends to cut short when he hears his teenage son Sullivan is seeking legal emancipation.
Woman Up! (15) – French Film Festival
Emmanuelle Devos plays an ambitious corporate manager who aspires to be the first woman CEO of a major French company.
Suspiria (18)
Guadagnino (Call Me by Your Name) pays homage to Dario Argento’s 1977 horror classic with this delicious, dark - and feminist - reimagining.
Everybody’s Talking About Jamie (12A)
Encore Screening from the Apollo Theatre London. Inspired by a true story, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie is the new award-winning five star hit musical for today.
Stan and Ollie (PG)
In 1953, several years after their last film and with their celebrity on the wane, Stan and Ollie embark on a tour of British seaside towns and music halls.
9 to 5 (15)
Forget everything you think you know about this film. It is, in fact, a classic feminist comedy that was decades ahead of its time.
The Marvellous Mabel Normand (U)
Everyone knows Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, but where are the women in silent film comedy? The trailblazing Mabel Normand who starred in 167 shorts and 23 features gets her long-overdue moment in the spotlight in the BFI Comedy Genius tour.
Wildlife (12A)
Actor Paul Dano makes an impressive directorial debut with this elegant 1960s-set melodrama. Housewife Jeanette and golf assistant Jerry want nothing more than to be a picture-book happy American family.

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.
