THE HOUSEMAID is a wildly entertaining thriller starring Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried, based on the best-selling book by Freida McFadden. From director Paul Feig, the film plunges audiences into a twisted world where perfection is an illusion, and nothing is as it seems.
Trying to escape her past, Millie (Sweeney) accepts a job as a live-in housemaid for the wealthy Nina (Seyfried) and Andrew Winchester (Brandon Sklenar). But what begins as a dream job quickly unravels into something far more dangerous — a sexy, seductive game of secrets, scandal, and power. Behind the Winchesters’ closed doors lies a world of shocking twists that will leave you guessing until the very end.
Documentary examining the removal of the Parthenon Marbles and the ongoing campaign to return them to Greece.
In 1801, Lord Elgin controversially removed half the Parthenon's sculptures, sparking a backlash from his contemporaries that continues today. What followed was a 200-year diplomatic battle between Greece and Britain over cultural patrimony. When actress and politician Melina Mercouri challenged the British Museum in 1983, she transformed the issue into an international cause that redefined how we think about cultural ownership.
This thoughtful documentary reveals the complexities of museum ethics, cultural policy, and the competing claims surrounding ancient artefacts. Introduced by Judith Hewitt, Museums Curator, Dumfries and Galloway Council, who will explore this debate in the local context of Dumfries and Galloway Council Museums.

A young man with a dream no one respects, Marty goes to hell and back in pursuit of greatness.
