Big films, live theatre, comedy and community events — there’s plenty happening at Pontio Arts and Innovation Centre this week.

Whether you’re after a night at the cinema, live music, or something a bit different, here’s what’s coming up.

Cinema

Toy Story 5 (PG)

Friday 26 June – Thursday 9 July

When Bonnie receives a Lilypad tablet as a gift and becomes obsessed, Buzz, Woody, Jessie and the rest of the gang’s jobs become exponentially harder when they have to go head to head with the all-new threat to playtime.

Madfabulous (12A)

Friday 5 – Thursday 18 June

In the 1890s, flamboyant Henry Paget arrives on Anglesey, North Wales, to claim his inheritance as the Fifth Marquess. Alongside his spirited cousin Lily and loyal butler Gelert, Henry’s theatrical eccentricities charm the locals but scandalise the elite. As he fights to carve out a unique identity, he must navigate stifling traditions, greedy relatives, and his late father’s cold legacy.

Effi o Blaenau (15)

Friday 19 June-Thursday 2 July

Based on Gary Owen’s acclaimed monodrama Iphigenia in Splott, Effi o Blaenau is Marc Evans’ cinematic adaptation set in Blaenau Ffestiniog. Effi, hoping to escape her struggling hometown, briefly glimpses a new future after meeting injured soldier Lee. When reality sets in, she faces life as a single, unemployed mother-to-be, and her story highlights the region’s social challenges.

PREVIEW: As well as the run of screenings between 19 June and 2 July, there will also be a special preview of the film and a Q&A session with the director Marc Evans on Thursday 18 June, 7pm.

Charlie the Wonderdog (PG)

Friday 19-Sunday 21 June

Timid 9-year-old Danny teams up with his beloved family dog Charlie, who gets abducted by aliens and returns with superpowers, to thwart a plan by the neighbour’s sinister cat Puddy to destroy humanity.

National Theatre Live: Les Liaisons Dangereuses (15)

Thursday 25 June, 7pm

Les Liaisons Dangereuses, Christopher Hampton’s adaptation of Laclos’ classic novel, is revived in a striking new production directed by Marianne Elliott.

Lesley Manville and Aidan Turner star as the Marquise de Merteuil and Vicomte de Valmont, masters of seduction who turn desire into a strategic weapon. When their partnership sours, their rivalry spirals into a destructive game of love and deceit. Filmed live at the National Theatre, the production explores power, pleasure, and the cost of manipulation.
