Father Mother Sister Brother (12A)

1 - 12 May 2026

Dir. Jim Jarmusch, 2026
Runtime: 110 mins

Winner of the Golden Lion Best Film prize at the 2025 Venice Film Festival, FATHER MOTHER SISTER BROTHER is the eagerly-awaited new film from iconic filmmaker Jim Jarmusch.

By turns funny, tender and astutely observed, this is an intimate exploration of the universal intricacies of family dynamics. Starring Tom Waits, Adam Driver, Mayim Bialik, Charlotte Rampling, Cate Blanchett, Vicky Krieps, Indya Moore and Luka Sabbat.

Told in the form of a triptych, the film is divided into three chapters, each concerning the relationship between adult children, their somewhat distant parent (or parents), and each other. Set in rural Northeast America, FATHER sees two adult siblings (Driver, Bialik) spend an awkward afternoon with their reclusive father (Waits), who they are visiting for the first time in years. In MOTHER, a reunion between a successful novelist (Rampling) and her two daughters (Blanchett, Krieps) for their carefully prepared annual tea party in Dublin becomes increasingly revealing and amusing. SISTER BROTHER sees twin siblings (Moore, Sabbat) meet in Paris to seek closure after the recent loss of their parents, making surprising discoveries in the process. By turns funny, poignant and resonant, Jarmusch’s latest elegantly blends remarkable performances from its ensemble cast with his typically wry and idiosyncratic observations of everyday life, serving as a timely reminder that you can choose your friends and your lovers, but you can’t choose your family.

The Stranger (15)

8 - 16 May 2026

Dir. François Ozon, 2026
Runtime: 122 mins

Francois Ozon has adapted a monumental work of literature – The Stranger (also known as The Outsider) by Albert Camus. In 1930s Algeria, the apathetic Meursault (Benjamin Voisin) shows total indifference to life. His emotional detachment leads to a murder, followed by a trial that scrutinises both the crime and his character. Ozon has said: ‘‘The themes in the book could hardly be more topical: an emotionally absent hero detached from the world, confronting our mortality, the individual’s quest for meaning in an increasingly alienating world.” Selected for the official competition at the Venice Film Festival and UK-premiered at the London Film Festival. Cast Benjamin Voisin, Rebecca Marder, Swann Arlaud, Pierre Lottin, Denis Lavant Director Francois Ozon

California Schemin’

8 - 10 May 2026

Dir. James McAvoy, 2026
Runtime: 107
Language: English

Based on an outrageous true story, this film is a wild ride through ambition, identity, and the high-stakes world of musical make-believe. In the early 2000’s, Dundee rappers Gavin Bain and Billy Boyd were talented, hungry, but dismissed for sounding “too Scottish” to make it in hip hop. So they hatched an audacious plan: fake American identities, re-record their tracks with Californian accents, and hustle their way into the heart of the UK music industry as “Silibil N’ Brains”—childhood friends of D12 and stars-in-the-making. To their shock, the plan works. Record deals, media buzz, and gigs with hip hop legends follow. But as their deception deepens, the pressure mounts and cracks begin to show. How long can you live the dream when it’s built on a lie? With bold humour, raw emotion, and a defiant spirit, California Schemin’ is a love letter to outsiders, underdogs, and the pursuit of fame—but asks, at what cost.

Rose of Nevada [TBC]

22 - 27 May 2026

Dir. Mark Jenkin, 2026
Runtime: 114 mins

‘A Cornish modern classic. Eerie, heart-breaking, wonderful.’ — Mark Kermode When a fishing boat, the Rose of Nevada, lost with all hands 30 years ago, mysteriously reappears in the old harbour of a forgotten Cornish village, for those who remember, it’s surely a sign. The boat must go out to sea again and maybe then the luck of the devastated village will turn. Young father Nick (George MacKay) and enigmatic newcomer Liam (Callum Turner) join captain Murgey (Francis Magee), and they head to sea. But when they return, satisfied with their haul, something is amiss — they’ve slipped back in time, and the villagers greet them as if they are the original crew. Rose of Nevada is Cornish filmmaker Mark Jenkin’s hotly anticipated and critically acclaimed follow-up to his BAFTA-award-winning first feature Bait (2019) and Enys Men (2022). Unique among British feature filmmakers for the analogue way in which he crafts his films, Jenkin once again serves as writer, director, director of photography, editor, sound designer and score composer.
