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 late 2025 A Dairy Story won Best Documentary at the IndieCork Film Festival and the Audience Award at the Central Scotland Documentary Festival in Stirling. 

A bold and original imagining of one of the greatest love stories of all time, Emerald Fennell’s “WUTHERING HEIGHTS” stars Margot Robbie as Cathy and Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff, whose forbidden passion for one another turns from romantic to intoxicating in an epic tale of lust, love and madness.

From a teenager’s suburban bedroom to the boardrooms of Silicon Valley, Molly Vs the Machines is the story of a heartbroken father’s quest to uncover the truth behind his daughter's death and his fightback against how the most powerful corporations of the modern age operate.

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.

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. Not bad for a country that almost ceased to exist in the 20th century after famine, civil war and invasion. What explains their incredible transformation?

Lesley Riddoch will be present for the post film Q&A.

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! Largely unavailable to western audiences for the last 30 years, HARD BOILED is a stone cold classic, which mixes balletic actions sequences, emotional resonance with a dash of doves in slow motion! 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.
