It's a BRAND NEW DAY for Peter Parker. Fighting crime full-time as Spider-Man in a world that doesn’t remember him -- and the pressure of seeing his old friends move on without him -- sparks a change in Peter he may not have the power to control. But that transformation might also be the only thing that can stop a shocking new threat to the city and those he loves - a powerful villain no one can even see.
The world may have forgotten Peter Parker, but he hasn’t forgotten them.
We are pleased to take part in this years Nithraid, the annual sail and row boat race and festival held just outside the RBC each August, with a debut documentary screening by locally born filmmaker Glenda Rome.
The film delves into geopoetics, a philosophy developed by Scottish poet and thinker Kenneth White, which emphasizes a deep connection between the mind, language, and the living world.
Lecturer in Environmental Humanities at the University of Glasgow’s Dumfries Campus, David Borthwick, will lead an informal discussion following the screening, touching on Geopoetics and the ways in which the film depicts landscape and ecology.
About the Director: Glenda is a Scottish filmmaker, originally from Dumfriesshire, whose cinematic work bridges art, environmental and human connection. For over two decades she has worked internationally on documentaries and community projects — from collaborating with Indigenous communities in the Ecuadorian rainforest and Iñupiat people in Alaska, to helping young and under-represented voices tell their own stories through film.
Taika Waititi’s iconic film is back in 4K to celebrate its 10 year anniversary. This wonderful film is also showing in tribute to screen legend Sam Neill, who sadly passed away in July aged 78.

Andrei Tarkovsky’s unforgettably haunting film, his first to be made outside Russia, explores the melancholy of the expatriate through the film’s protagonist, Gorchakov, a Russian poet researching in Italy. Arriving at a Tuscan village spa with Eugenia, his beautiful Italian interpreter, Gorchakov is visited by memories of Russia and of his wife and children, and he encounters the local mystic who sets him a challenging task. ‘Nostalgia’ is filled with a series of mysterious and extraordinary images, all of which coalesce into a miraculous whole in the film’s final shot. As in all Tarkovsky’s films, nature, the elements of fire and water, music, painting and poetry all play a major role.

After a mysterious cosmic event rips Oak Street from suburbia and transports their neighbourhood to someplace unknown, the Platt family soon discovers that their very survival depends on them sticking together as they navigate their now unrecognizable surroundings.
"The End of Oak Street absolutely rocks. hilarious, perfectly paced, Ambliny but mean as hell, Anne Hathaway blasts a T-Rex with a shotgun… it delivers more fun in any 5-minute stretch than the entire Jurassic franchise has in total since the 90s. Biggest surprise of the summer" - David Ehrlich / IndieWire

The wrong conditions could devastate the largest ever seaborne invasion, while any delay risks German intelligence catching on.

Eisenhower (Brendan Fraser). With only hours to go, the fate of the war and the lives of millions hang in the balance.
