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.

💖PAST LIVES (12A) - Fri 29 Sept - Thu 5 Oct
🎫Tickets from £4

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Might be 2023’s best movie" - The Guardian

A beautiful, aching story about love, connections, memories of past lives and questions about the life not lived.

Nora and Hae Sung, two deeply connected childhood friends, are torn apart when Nora's family emigrates from South Korea to Canada. Twenty years later, they are reunited in New York for one fateful week as they confront notions of love and destiny. Director Celine Song's debut feature is a melancholic look at love in its different forms that separate and come together across time and distance. It's a beautiful, aching story about love, connections, memories of past lives and questions about the life not lived.

Tickets from £4 - can you afford not to go?!

My Extinction is a revealingly honest account of how to feel your feelings, act on your privilege, and get active when threatened with extinction.

In this funny, relatable portrait, a concerned yet ineffectual dad finds the first step is letting those unbearable feelings of climate anxiety in, instead of pushing them aside.

L'INNOCENT (15)
Fri 15th - Thu 21st September

✨ Budget Friendly Tickets from £4.

Fizzing with a cracking chemistry, and a banter à la française, The Innocent is part family farce, part heist thriller but above all a heart-warming romantic entertainer.

AND THEN COME THE NIGHTJARS, reviewed by Cathryn Macey

"Society is finally encouraging men to turn their back on toxic masculinity i.e., the need to always be strong and not show any signs of emotional, or physical, weakness. And Then Come the Nightjars captures the essence of today’s important conversations about male mental health. Jeffrey needs Mike and Mike needs Jeffrey."

THE WILD WILD WESTCOUNTRY #TheBoxShorts celebrate

THE WILD WILD WESTCOUNTRY

#TheBoxShorts celebrates the West Country in all its weird and wild glory. Pagan type celebrations and barrel rollings await in this specially curated short.

From lumberjacks to villagers claiming the ancient rights of collecting wood, barrel rolling competitions to hobby horses and folk dancers at village fetes, this film is a snapshot into the West Country in all its Wildness, through the lens of archive film.

Cornish “spriggans” or Pixies come out of the caves during midsummer to imprison the local church bellringers. Members of the Cornish Gorsedh process, dance and orate. Enjoy: It’s the Wild Wild West Country!

Working with archivists @theboxplymouth, expanded cinema practitioners @compasspresents have spliced and diced a series of short archive films that will feature before all screenings of AND THEN COME THE NIGHTJARS from Saturday 9th - Thursday 14th September https://plymouthartscinema.org/whats-on/and-then-come-the-nightjars-15/

2023 was a season of mixed fortune weather-wise for Open Air Cinema at @tinsidelido but we did manage a couple of beautiful balmy evenings by the sea. Here are some pictures taken by photographer Amber Amare (@amberfilms_) at the screening of Roman Holiday.

We are grateful for the support of our sponsors for our 2023 Open Air Cinema programme:

Our staff member Manon was at her parents’ the week before Barbie was released and dug out her old Barbies out of the attic (what better excuse?), it was a really fun (and very pink!) trip down memory lane.

1. Ryan Gosling is not the only Ken with a fur coat!

2. Road trip!

3. Barbie goes camping. Love the pale pink suitcase and the sleeping bag (it folds into a neat little backpack).

4. Would you like some pink cake after that pink cheese?

5. Barbie can do everything. But maybe she shouldn’t cut hair?

6. Fashion photoshoot! The 80s (yes, that’s a cape!)

7. Cute outfit. Late 80s / early 90s?

8. The 90s in all their denim glory

9. Barbie goes to Hollywood

10. And for the photoshoot big finale: a wedding party!
