Celebrating the 250th anniversary of their births, this unmissable new documentary explores Turner and Constable’s intertwined lives and legacies alongside the groundbreaking Tate exhibition.
Two of Britain’s greatest painters, J.M.W. Turner and John Constable were also the greatest of rivals. Born within a year of each other, both used landscape painting to reflect the changing world around them. Tate Britain is bringing these two greats together for a groundbreaking exhibition, in London from November 2025 to April 2026, and Exhibition on Screen once again has exclusive and privileged access to bring their extraordinary art and remarkable stories to the big screen in February so that you can enjoy both film and exhibition together.
Finland – this sub-arctic state with a Scotland-sized population has snow, Santa, trees and a precarious land border with Russia. It’s also been the worlds happiest country for eight years running, with the best education system, food security and levels of trust in government and in one another. Helsinki folk were more likely to hand in a dropped wallet than folk in any other world capital.

John Woo’s genre defining film HARD BOILED has been beautifully restored in 4K from the original negative and coming to the RBC on 14th March 2026!

With a death count in the triple figures, more firepower you can shake an Uzi at and action sequences that most Hollywood directors would be jealous of, HARD BOILED is John Woo's masterpiece. In Cantonese and English with English subtitles.
