In May of 2020, a standoff between a small-town sheriff and mayor sparks a powder keg as neighbour is pitted against neighbour in Eddington, New Mexico. Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Austin Butler, and Emma Stone star in the new film from Ari Aster, the acclaimed writer-director of Hereditary, Midsommar, and Beau Is Afraid.

Elio, an underdog with an active imagination, finds himself inadvertently beamed up to the Communiverse, an interplanetary organization with representatives from galaxies far and wide. Mistakenly identified as Earth's ambassador to the rest of the universe, he starts to form new bonds with eccentric aliens while discovering who he's truly meant to be.

Something bad happened to Agnes. But life goes on… for everyone around her, at least.

#FOURTHSCREENING of Lucila’s Film Club - Saturday 30.08.25 at Genesis Cinema 21HRS.
Lucila’s Film Club presents “Girls of the Night” by Kinuyo Tanaka
Synopsis: In the wake of the 1956 Prostitution Prevention Law, a young woman recently released from one of Japan's new rehabilitation centers struggles to build a new life.
Lucila’s Film Club is a project presented by the brand Lucila Safdie—run by June and Lucila—that screens films by female directors that we love.

Edda, a young mouse and the daughter of fairground operator Erwin, dreams of becoming a race car driver. Ahead of the 50th anniversary of the European Grand Prix, Edda gets the opportunity to meet her idol, racing star Ed, and to help her father save his failing business. But to do so, she'll have to get behind the wheel herself.

In James Gunn’s reimagining of the iconic superhero, Superman follows a young Clark Kent (David Corenswet) as he navigates the challenges of balancing his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing in Smallville, Kansas. Now an up-and-coming reporter at the Daily Planet in Metropolis, Clark strives to embody truth, justice, and kindness in a world that increasingly views such ideals as outdated

In this legacy sequel to the beloved Naked Gun series, Liam Neeson stars as Lt. Frank Drebin Jr., the bumbling yet determined son of the original Frank Drebin (portrayed by Leslie Nielsen). Following in his father's footsteps, Frank Jr. joins the ranks of the Police Squad, bringing his own brand of inadvertent chaos to the force. When a high-profile bank heist threatens the city, Frank Jr. goes undercover in an unexpected disguise to thwart the criminals, leading to a series of hilarious misadventures.

Life seems easy for picture-perfect couple Ivy and Theo: successful careers, a loving marriage, great kids. But beneath the facade of their supposedly ideal life, a storm is brewing. As Theo's career nosedives while Ivy's own takes off, a tinderbox of fierce competition and hidden resentment ignites in a modern reimagining of The War Of The Roses, based on the novel by Warren Adler.

Meet the world's first superhero... from New Jersey! Winston Gooze is an ordinary worker, who after a shocking accident, transforms a downtrodden janitor into a mutant vigilante. Armed with his signature mop, the unlikely hero battles freaks, gangsters, and corrupt CEOs while trying to save his relationship with his son.

When all but one child from the same class mysteriously vanish on the same night at exactly the same time, a community is left questioning who or what is behind their disappearance.

We're going to need a bigger boat. Return to Amity Island and celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Steven Spielberg classic, Jaws. When a gigantic great white shark begins to menace the small island community of Amity, a police chief, a marine scientist, and grizzled fisherman set out to stop it.

Classic films back on the big screen in 35mm. Adventurous filmmaker Carl Denham sets out to produce a motion picture unlike anything the world has seen before. Alongside his leading lady Ann Darrow and his first mate Jack Driscoll, they arrive on an island and discover a legendary creature said to be neither beast nor man. Denham captures the monster to be displayed on Broadway as King Kong, the eighth wonder of the world.

The Sound Of What’s Left is a documentary celebrating London’s precious and few remaining grassroots gig venues.

The film centres around the communities of two legendary and beloved venues, The Windmill Brixton and The George Tavern. It was made in the DIY spirit of its subject and features important conversations which highlight why grassroots venues are needed now more than ever – and yet are under threat.

Produced after the worst year on record for the UK’s grassroots music venue sector, The Sound Of What’s Left serves as both a moving tribute and a call to action to protect vital hubs of culture and community.

Live music in the bar before and after the screening.

Something bad happened to Agnes. But life goes on… for everyone around her, at least.

Oscar-nominated Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl, Saltburn) is Jessica in the much-anticipated next play from the team behind Prima Facie.

Jessica Parks is a smart Crown Court Judge at the top of her career. Behind the robe, she is a karaoke fiend, a loving wife and a supportive parent. When an event threatens to throw her life completely off balance, can she hold her family upright?

Writer Suzie Miller and director Justin Martin reunite following their global phenomenon Prima Facie, with this searing examination of modern motherhood and masculinity.

In this legacy sequel to the beloved Naked Gun series, Liam Neeson stars as Lt. Frank Drebin Jr., the bumbling yet determined son of the original Frank Drebin (portrayed by Leslie Nielsen).

DIRTY BOY is a dark, atmospheric, and critically acclaimed folk horror that has been gaining serious momentum on the festival circuit. It has nominated for multiple awards at this year’s Raindance Film Festival (including Best UK Feature, Best Director and Best Actor for Graham McTavish) and was also named Best Feature at the 2025 Maverick Movie Awards.

The film stars Graham McTavish (The Hobbit, The Witcher, Outlander, House of the Dragon), Susie Porter (Wentworth, Gold), and rising newcomer Stan Steinbichler. It was shot in Styria, Austria, the iconic landscape of The Sound of Music, reimagined here as the chilling backdrop for something far more disturbing.

Tonally, DIRTY BOY blends the rural horror of Midsommar with the conspiratorial dread of Rosemary’s Baby, the twisted brutality of Kill List and the bleak, satirical edge of Joker. It’s an elevated genre piece with strong audience appeal, particularly among fans of intelligent horror, arthouse thrillers, and Graham’s substantial fanbase across genre TV and film.

Charming, wistful, heartbreaking, hopeful and urgent. Palestine’s official entry to the 2025 Academy Awards, “From Ground Zero”, brings dozens of emerging Palestinian artists to the fore in an urgent cry for humanity from a people under siege.

Each film, ranging in length from 3 to 6 minutes, presents a unique perspective on the current reality in Gaza. The project, masterminded by legendary Palestinian filmmaker Rashid Masharawi and Exec Produced by Michael Moore, captures the diverse experiences of life in the Palestinian enclave, including the challenges, tragedies and moments of resilience faced by its people. Using a mix of genres including fiction, documentary, docu-fiction, animation and experimental cinema, From Ground Zero presents a rich diversity of stories that reflect the sorrow, joy and hope inherent in Gazan life.

These are only a snapshot of the stories shared. Chronicling the lives of people too often discussed in reference to numbers and refugee camps, From Ground Zero is an extraordinary time capsule, an urgent response to an ongoing catastrophe, and an artist’s call to bear witness to a crime scene. It is a reminder that despite sustained efforts to silence them - the film stricken from the 2024 Cannes lineup on political grounds after initially being accepted - the voice of the Palestinian people is louder than ever through art and film.

Classic films back on the big screen in 35mm. Newspaper magnate Charles Foster Kane is taken from his mother as a boy and made the ward of a rich industrialist. As a result, every well-meaning, tyrannical or self-destructive move he makes for the rest of his life appears in some way to be a reaction to that deeply wounding event.

Relationships are messy. This programme serves up unvarnished snapshots of queer love and sex in all their complicated glory — from intimate reflections on touch and taste to transmasc pregnancy panics, sleepless nights beside strangers to tender goodbyes in the park. No fairy tale endings here, just the raw, honest moments that make us human.

Outside of corporate self-care marketing tactics, what actually works to bring relief? Because it’s probably not the gold leaf snail mucus face mask, babe. It’s us. Bringing themes of companionship, solidarity and self-love together this programming explores healing within queer community. Sometimes we just need advice, a friend to talk through our problems, or sometimes we need to give ourselves permission to transform. We’re reminded in the process, the personal is always political.

A Life In Tandem is a feature documentary, telling the extraordinary true story of Luke, who was diagnosed with incurable stage 4 cancer aged 24. Given months to live, he sets off on a 20,000 mile cycle from Bristol to Beijing - on a tandem.

He leaves his old life crumbling behind him as he cycles with over 800 people across the world - from the Indian schoolboy who'd had cancer as a child to the Ukrainian pastor in the last days of peace in Mariupol. During this journey Luke rebuilds his strained relationship with his mum and shows the world that even with cancer, anything is possible.

With a mix of experimental, narrative & non-fiction forms, these films explore how queers are finding ways to disrupt the fascist systems and technologies that perpetuate violence, incarcerate us and prevent us from building international queer solidarity.

A group of scientists are sent on a mission to destroy unstable planets. Twenty years into their mission, they have to battle their alien mascot as well as a "sensitive" and intelligent bombing device that starts to question the meaning of its existence.

Presented by Cult Classic Collective the screening is followed by a panel discussion with Nick Walker.

Dust off your VHS players and pull out your neon leotards for these retro (not hetero) sci-fi superpower shorts that will zap you into a library love story and zoom you into a colonial philosopher’s kinks. Let’s be real, not everything was better in the 80s but the decade gave us the best in campy lo-fi special effects and these shorts take us back to that vibe and take us forwards into a superpowered superqueered superfuture. If there’s one thing we know it’s that, whether it’s ocean-hopping cannibals, crime-fighting trans witches in 2050s Rio or a camp for kung fu masters, everything looks better with some neon and a few overworked smoke machines.

In 2011 Chris McGlade’s father was murdered. Instead of blaming and desiring vengeance against his father’s killer, he soon after decided to forgive the killer. As a Catharsis to get through his grief, Chris wrote a poem “Blood Beneath your Nails” which led to his creation of a one man comedy show that has changed the lives of ordinary working class people in a profound way. Ask yourself, Could you forgive your father’s murderer? and then be prepared to  be blown away.

In a country where eligible men greatly outnumber women, three perpetual bachelors join an intensive seven-day dating camp led by one of China's most sought-after dating coaches in what may be their last-ditch effort to find love.

When does practice become protest? Or protest, poetry?

Award-winning documentary filmmaker Fiona Cunningham-Reid presents an intimate portrait of internationally acclaimed artists Heather Ackroyd and Dan Harvey, who work at the intersection of art, activism, biology and ecology.Uncompromisingly preoccupied with the climate and ecological crisis, Ackroyd & Harvey's work has become a rallying cry for the environmental movement, winning them international acclaim and a global following.

With some of their pieces standing in prestigious galleries and others embedded in nature, their work not only references the natural world, but also regularly employs it.

The film offers singular access into the lives, work and partnership of the artists, and their quest to shake humanity into action on climate catastrophe - whatever the personal cost - including their collaboration with Extinction Rebellion, and co-founding the movement Culture Declares Emergency.

Meticulous and thoughtful, this careful study of a lifelong creative partnership asks questions of where art and hope - and love - stand in our very uncertain world.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Fiona Cunningham-Reid.

Silents Synced pairs classic silent movies with epic rock music to bring audiences a unique big screen experience. This reimagining of the iconic Nosferatu (1922) features Radiohead’s Kid A (2000) and Amnesiac (2001) albums. An unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Nosferatu (1922) is the quintessential silent vampire film, crafted by legendary German director F. W. Murnau. Rather than depicting Dracula as a shape-shifting monster or debonair gentleman, Murnau’s Graf Orlok (as portrayed by Max Schreck) is a nightmarish, spidery creature of bulbous head and taloned claws — perhaps the most genuinely disturbing incarnation of vampirism yet envisioned. Don’t miss out on the chance to experience this imaginative new take on an iconic horror classic!

Classic films back on the big screen in 35mm. Truffaut's superb feature debut remains an influential landmark in the history of the cinema. Antoine Doinel (Jean-Pierre Laud), a 13-year-old is constantly in trouble - justifiably or otherwise - with his parents and teachers. Drifting into truancy and petty theft, he soon finds himself at odds with still less sympathetic figures of adult authority. Shot on the streets of Paris, the film exudes an emotional authenticity born of the semi-autobiographical story, and displays real compassion as it charts a seemingly unstoppable progress towards delinquency. Great credit goes to Léaud, whose engaging but entirely uningratiating performance is a miracle of naturalism. Truffaut managed to gather many talents, on both sides of the camera, who would prove crucial to the development of the nouvelle vague. Marvellous stuff.

“If this ever gets weird, promise me we can just stop, as nothing is more important than loving you.”
These were the words of Omar Rodríguez-López to his childhood friend Cedric Bixler-Zavala in January 2000, on the eve of recording a breakthrough album that would change their lives forever. For a decade they stayed true to this pact, until it was spectacularly broken in a haze of deception, Scientology, death and betrayal. The friends then spent the following ten years trying to heal those wounds. This is a documentary film about the artistic and personal relationship between Omar Rodríguez-López and Cedric Bixler-Zavala (At the Drive-In / The Mars Volta). It is also the story of two immigrant outsiders and their desire to create their own place in the world. Told almost entirely through a selection culled from hundreds of hours of intimate footage filmed by Rodríguez-López over the last 40 years, the documentary charts the duo’s intense and profound journey of friendship, brotherhood, love, fame, self-discovery, and sacrifice. A story like no other, the film unflinchingly tackles the greater themes of success, addiction, death, grief, tragedy, betrayal, forgiveness, and redemption head on. An intimate portrait of a lifelong friendship and a look at the world through a whole new creative prism.

D(e)ad is a film written by Izzy Roland, directed by Claudia Lonow (her mom!) and starring her family and Dropout favorites Brennan Lee Mulligan, Vic Michaelis, and more! About D(e)ad: Tillie (Isabella Roland), a floundering young woman and her charismatic, alcoholic father (Craig Bierko), struggle to resolve their fractured relationship in the weirdest possible way: after he dies, his ghost appears in mirrors to haunt everyone in the family but Tillie. Tillie’s sister, Violet (Vic Michaelis), mother (Claudia Lonow), grandparents (Mark Lonow and Joanne Astrow), stepfather (Jonathan Schmock), and even Violet’s free-spirited baby daddy (Nick Marini), must do everything they can to make Tillie see her father… even employing a very reform rabbi (Eddie Peppitone) to exorcize him… or else they will be plagued by this ghost forever.

Presented by Cult Classic Collective the screening is followed by a panel discussion with Nick Walker. An unfaithful wife encounters the zombie of her dead lover; demons are pursuing him after he escaped their sadomasochistic underworld.

Under The Open Sky is a beautifully-crafted observational documentary that offers a rare, intimate portrait of a nomadic camel-herding family in the desert lands of Western India. Spanning five years, the film follows Ahmed and his family, as they face an existential dilemma: to continue their traditional way of life or to adapt to a rapidly modernising world. The film traces their quiet but powerful struggle to hold onto their ancestral way of life as they are increasingly displaced by industrialisation, climate shifts, and economic pressures.

Drawing on 20 years of home videos, this blend of fact and fiction follows three horror-obsessed friends on an ecstatic journey into their personal and supernatural fears when they find themselves embroiled in a real-life scary movie.
