NT Live: The Misanthrope (15)

Dir. Indhu Rubasingham Runtime: 120min Award-winner Sandra Oh (Killing Eve) plays the title role in this razor-sharp reimagining of Molière’s classic dark comedy. Telling the truth isn’t always that simple. Alice, a brilliant novelist, despises the carefully constructed lies of modern society. But the more she challenges those around her, the fiercer the backlash becomes. Soon, she must confront the price of speaking her truth in a world that would rather silence her. Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Indhu Rubasingham directs Martin Crimp’s (Cyrano de Bergerac) highly anticipated play. Screening Saturday 26 September, 7.00pm Wednesday 30 September, 2.00pm Tuesday 20 October, 7.00pm

Song of the Suburbs (BFI Archive) + Q&A

Dir. Graham Williamson (2025) Runtime: 66 mins Screening + Q+A with filmmaker Graham Williamson and John Grindrod

The suburbs are often portrayed as dull, conformist and hermetic. But with over 80% of the UK population calling these areas home, this playful yet empathetic compilation challenges enduring stereotypes by centring the experiences and eccentricities of their numerous residents. The development of these spaces, and the narratives surrounding them, has been captured over the past 100 years by early filmmakers, citizen journalists, amateur documentarians and, most recently, a growing charge of online moving image creators – all brought together here to reveal the multiple identities and realities underneath the cultural image.
