30 years ago, the Rose of Nevada was lost at sea with all hands. When it suddenly reappears in the harbour of a rundown Cornish fishing village, it feels like a sign: if the Rose sets sail again, perhaps the village’s luck will turn. Nick (George MacKay) takes a job aboard, joined by newly arrived drifter Liam (Callum Turner). The boat and its new voyage are symbols of hope, but when Nick and Liam return from the sea, something strange has happened – instead of moving into the future, they have re-entered the past.
Bait and Enys Men director Mark Jenkin’s time-travelling odyssey is a mysterious and unconventional story of identity, grief and the vagaries of time, of people who are attuned to the present and those who are fixed in the past. Like Bait, it’s shot in 16mm (though this time in bold colour) and delights in distinctive texture and composition, with painterly touches that make it feel like a found object, a film by and of Cornwall and the sea.
Winner of the Golden Lion Best Film prize at the 2025 Venice Film Festival, FATHER MOTHER SISTER BROTHER is the eagerly-awaited new film from Jim Jarmusch. Funny, tender and astutely observed, this is an intimate exploration of the universal intricacies of family dynamics.
Told in the form of a triptych divided into chapters set in New Jersey, Dublin and Paris, each story concerns the relationships between adult children, their somewhat distant parent (or parents), and each other. Blending remarkable performances from its ensemble cast with Jarmusch’s wry and idiosyncratic observations of everyday life, the iconic indie director’s latest serves as a timely reminder that you can choose your friends and your lovers, but you can’t choose your family.

Highlighting both his life off-stage and some of the most iconic performances from his early solo career, the film gives audiences a front-row seat to Michael Jackson as never before. This is where his story begins.
