40th Anniversary screening of The Never Ending Story

While hiding from school bullies, young Bastian (Barret Oliver) discovers the land of Fantasia within the pages of a magical book in this family fantasy from director Wolfgang Petersen (his rather surprising follow-up to WWII submarine drama Das Boot). Based on the novel by German author Michael Ende.

The book found by Bastian tells the tale of Atreyu, a young warrior who, with the help of a dragon named Falkor, must save Fantasia from the destruction of "The Nothing" - a void of darkness that consumes everything.

Made in Germany, The NeverEnding Story was the most expensive movie ever made outside the USA or USSR at the time. The film was disowned by Ende, who claims it deviated far from his source material.

Inside of his book, adventurous Harold (Zachary Levi) can make anything come to life simply by drawing it. After he grows up and draws himself off the book’s pages and into the physical world, Harold finds he has a lot to learn about real life—and that his trusty purple crayon may set off more hilarious hijinks than he thought possible. When the power of unlimited imagination falls into the wrong hands, it will take all of Harold and his friends’ creativity to save both the real world and his own. HAROLD AND THE PURPLE CRAYON is the first film adaptation of the beloved children’s classic that has captivated young readers for decades.

Directed by Carlos Saldanha and produced by John Davis, the live-action hybrid family adventure/comedy stars Zachary Levi, Lil Rel Howery, Benjamin Bottani, Jemaine Clement, Tanya Reynolds with Alfred Molina and Zooey Deschanel. The film’s screenplay is written by David Guion & Michael Handelman, based on the book by Crockett Johnson.

Co-starring the legendary and completely unrecognisable Nicolas Cage as the gruesome killer.

“Longlegs gets under your skin and stays there, immersing you so thoroughly in the repulsive, discomforting nature of evil through terrifying imagery and a tactile atmosphere that it’s unshakable.” – Meagan Navarro, Bloody Disgusting

The Commandant’s Shadow follows Hans Jürgen Höss, the 87-year-old son of Rudolf Höss, as he faces his father’s terrible legacy for the first time. His father was the Camp Commandant of Auschwitz and masterminded the murder of over a million Jews; the life of Höss and his family was recently fictionalised in the Academy Award-winning The Zone of Interest. Now, The Commandant’s Shadow tells the story of the real people who lived on site at Höss’s death camp.

While Hans Jurgen Höss enjoyed a happy childhood in the family villa at Auschwitz, Jewish prisoner Anita Lasker-Wallfisch was trying to survive the notorious concentration camp. At the heart of this film is the historic and inspiring moment – eight decades later – when the two come face-to-face. This is the first time the descendant of a major war criminal meets a survivor in such a private and intimate setting, Anita’s London living room. Together with their children, Kai Höss and Maya Lasker-Wallfisch, the four protagonists explore their very different hereditary burdens.

The film features original excerpts of Rudolf Höss’ long-forgotten autobiography, written shortly before his execution. His words are the ultimate proof of what really happened at Auschwitz, documented by the perpetrator himself, countering denial and ignorance of the Holocaust.

This once-in-a-lifetime feature-length documentary explores the relationships of a mother and her daughter, a father and his son, and the long shadows cast by the crimes that impact generations. It raises questions about love, guilt, and forgiveness, but is ultimately a much-needed story of hope, acceptance, and compassion.

Lia, a retired teacher from Georgia, learns from her young neighbour, Achi, that her long-lost transgender niece, Tekla, has crossed the border into Turkey. In search of Tekla, Lia travels to Istanbul with the unpredictable Achi, where they explore the hidden depths of the city.

What begins as a casual meeting between the two women swiftly turns to friendship and then to love.

Film Synopsis;

The classic, multi Oscar-winning, Broadway adaptation about egotistical linguist Professor Henry Higgins (Rex Harrison) who bets his friend, Colonel Hugh Pickering (Wilfrid Hyde-White), that he can transform Cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle (Audrey Hepburn) in time for an important society ball.

This alternate universe Logan isn't exactly a world-saving hero, but with limited options, Deadpool needs his help to save those he loves.

This gorgeous, poetic film from acclaimed director Tatiana Huezo (Tempestad, Prayers for the Stolen) is a documentary, but could easily be mistaken for drama. It’s set in El Eco (the echo), a remote village in the Mexico highlands, where Huezo embedded herself for 18 months to film three families going about their lives, and won her the 2023 Berlinale Documentary Award.

El Eco exists outside of time, the children care for the sheep and their elders. While the frost and drought punish the land, they learn to understand death, illness and love with each act, word, and silence of their parents. A story about the echo of what clings to the soul, about the certainty of shelter provided by those around us, about rebellion and vertigo in the face of life. About growing up.

Huezo’s camera lingers on their faces, and those of the women of the village in particular, focusing on the rhythms, hardships and communal joys that make up their lives. Beautifully shot by Ernesto Pardo, The Echo is a deeply immersive study of tough but tender realities.
