Scott Cooper’s drama -- starring The Bear star Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen -- chronicles the making of Springsteen's 1982 "Nebraska" album. Recorded on a 4-track recorder in Springsteen's New Jersey bedroom, the album marked a pivotal time in his life and is considered one of his most enduring works--a raw, haunted acoustic record populated by lost souls searching for a reason to believe.
1916. As war rages on the Western Front, the Choral Society in Ramsden, Yorkshire has lost most of its men to the army. The Choral’s ambitious committee, determined to press ahead, decides to recruit local young males to swell their ranks. They must also engage a new chorus master, and despite their suspicions that he has something to hide, their best bet seems to be Dr. Henry Guthrie (Ralph Fiennes) – driven, uncompromising, and recently returned from a career in Germany. As conscription papers start to arrive, the whole community discovers that the best response to the chaos that is laying waste to their lives is to make music together.

Celebrated filmmaker Kelly Reichardt (First Cow, Showing Up) directs an unforgettable Josh O'Connor in The Mastermind, her latest Cannes triumph. In a sedate Massachusetts suburb circa 1970, unemployed family man and amateur art thief J.B Mooney sets out on his first heist. With the museum cased and accomplices recruited, he has an airtight plan. Or so he thinks. A brilliant look at the folly of man, The Mastermind also features Alana Haim, Gaby Hoffmann, John Magaro, Hope Davis and Bill Camp. Rich in textured detail, this sly depiction of an era subverts long-held illusions and confronts disillusionment.
Contemporary cinema’s favourite detective Benoit Blanc returns in Rian Johnson’s sharply penned and devilishly fun reinvention of the classic whodunit.
Benoit Blanc returns for his most dangerous case yet. After a sudden and seemingly impossible murder rocks the town, the lack of an obvious suspect prompts local police chief Geraldine Scott (Mila Kunis) to join forces with renowned detective Benoit Blanc to unravel a mystery that defies all logic.
Part existential road movie, part apocalyptic sci-fi, Sirât mixes a bit of Zabriskie Point and Mad Max: Fury Road and shakes them up. Some of its images are indelible, in the same way Antonioni’s were in 1970, but French-Spanish director Óliver Laxe’s major weapon here is his sound design, a weaponised barrage of techno with sub-bass that hits like an earthquake and rumbles in the gut. Shared jury prize at 2025 Cannes Film Festival. Cast - Sergi Lopez, Bruno Núñez Arjona, Jade Oukid, Tonin Janvier, Richard Bellamy, Stefania Gadda. In French and Spanish with English subtitles.
Screening as part of French Film Festival 2025.
Join us for the theatrical premiere of A Dairy Story, an award-winning documentary, screening first in cinemas in region it was filmed in.
Best known locally as the former Cream o’ Galloway ‘ice cream farm’, David and Wilma Finlay transformed Rainton Farm near Gatehouse-of-Fleet from a conventional family dairy farm to organic, regenerative, and now a pioneering cow-with-calf dairy system.
Filmed over two years, A Dairy Story shows how changing a farming system changes everything; from the lives of the animals to the wellbeing of the farmers, and perhaps even the future of dairy farming itself.
In the past two months the film has already won Best Documentary at the IndieCork Film Festival and the Audience Award at the Central Scotland Documentary Festival in Stirling.
The screening will be followed by an optional Q&A with David Finlay and Charles Ellett of Rainton Farm, with complimentary hot drinks.
Jafar Panahi's award-winning drama follows a group of former Iranian political prisoners who face the question of whether to exact revenge on their tormentor.
“Rip-roaring. A powerful moral thriller." – The New Yorker
"The way Panahi blends suspense with dark humor is a skill we haven’t seen displayed so skillfully since perhaps the best days of Alfred Hitchcock." - The Movie Cricket

THE MARBLES is a compelling new documentary examining one of history's most controversial cultural disputes—the removal of the Parthenon Marbles—and the ongoing campaign to return them to Greece. From imperial acquisition to modern-day advocacy, this is the story of heritage, identity, and justice.
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 respected 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, filmed over five years starting on the 200th anniversary of Greek independence, reveals the complexities of museum ethics, cultural policy, and the competing claims surrounding ancient artefacts. From Athens to London, it’s a tale of empire, resistance, and redemption—with Scotland emerging as an unlikely hero.
The debate continues to evolve, raising fundamental questions about the rightful ownership of ancient treasures. The question isn't just about marble sculptures—it's about how we value and preserve cultural heritage in a post-colonial world.
