Mufasa: The Lion King (PG)
Friday 3 – Thursday 16 January
Rafiki relays the legend of Mufasa to lion cub Kiara, daughter of Simba and Nala. Told in flashbacks, the story introduces Mufasa as an orphaned cub, lost and alone until he meets a sympathetic lion named Taka—the heir to a royal bloodline. The chance meeting sets in motion a journey of misfits searching for their destiny and working together to evade a threatening and deadly foe.
‘Pictiwrs a Pram’ screening for parents/carers with babies under 12 months on Thursday, 16 January. Click here for information and to book tickets.
Nightbitch (15)
Monday 6 – Thursday 9 January
A woman, thrown into the stay-at-home routine of raising a toddler, slowly embraces the feral power deeply rooted in motherhood, as she becomes increasingly aware of the undeniable signs that she may be turning into a dog.
Queer (18)
10, 11, 13, 14 January
Queer stars a transformative Daniel Craig, who flourishes after his time in the tuxedo and drinking martinis. He plays Lee, who recounts his life in Mexico City among expatriate American students. He pursues a young man named Allerton, a US Navy serviceman recently discharged from Jacksonville, Florida.
Queer is a very poignant experience that channels a lot of emotions. It explores loneliness and that search for longing in the most abstract and dreamlike way. Guadagnino pays tribute to Burroughs’s work and life and one of Daniel Craig’s most memorable performances
