OUR NEXT FILM SCREENINGS:
MONDAY 19TH MAY - 'SAVE THE CINEMA' 12 - 2022 - RUN TIME 2 HOURS
The film stars Samantha Morton, Jonathan Pryce and Tom Felton. In 1993, a hairdresser in Carmarthen, Wales, begins a campaign to save the Lyric theatre from closure. Alongside the mayor, they enlist the help of filmmaker Steven Spielberg to host a special premier at the theatre.
This is a feel-good film based on a true story
MONDAY 16TH JUNE - 'A COMPLETE UNKNOWN' 15 - 2025 - RUN TIME 2 HRS 9 MINS.
New York, 1961. Against the backdrop of a vibrant music scene and tumultuous cultural upheaval, an unknown 19-year-old named Bob Dylan (Timothée Chalamet), from Minnesota, arrives in Greenwich Village with his guitar and revolutionary talent, destined to change the course of American music. As he forms his most intimate relationships during his rise to fame, he grows restless with the folk movement, refusing to be defined, making a controversial choice that culturally reverberates worldwide.
A 'Complete Unknown' replaces our previously advertised film, 'Lee', the story of American photographer Lee Miller, (Kate Winslet), a fashion model who became an acclaimed war correspondent for Vogue magazine during World War II. We hope to be able to screen 'Lee' later in the year.
MONDAY 21ST JULY - 'CONCLAVE' 12A - 2024 - RUN TIME 2 HOURS
Starring Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci and John Lithgow. Cardinal Lawrence organises a conclave for one of the world's most secretive and ancient events, participating in the selection of a new pope. Surrounded by powerful religious leaders in the halls of the Vatican, he soon uncovers a trail of deep secrets that could shake the very foundation of the Roman Catholic Church.
MONDAY 18TH AUGUST - 'MR BURTON' 12A - 2025 - RUN TIME 2 HRS 4 MINS.
Stars Toby Jones, Harry Lawtey, Aimmee-Ffion Edwards and Lesley Manville. The story of the wild school boy Rich Jenkins, son of a boozy miner and an English teacher who recognised his talent, Philip Burton. A moving, untold story of how Rich Jenkins became Richard Burton, the biggest star Wales has ever produced.
