TOAST
June 19th

6pm

Based on the bittersweet story of food writer Nigel Slater's childhood, TOAST is a delicious love letter to the tastes and smells that a young boy associates with his journey into adulthood.

"Beautifully done – poignant and sad, but with lightness and humour." — The Guardian

"A deliciously comic turn from Bonham-Carter as a semi-evil stepmother." — Variety

 

   

IN OUR NAME
June 19th

8pm

When Suzy returns home from a tour of duty in Iraq, her experiences begin to haunt her, driving her to erratic and paranoid behavior that endangers her own daughter. The first British film to deal with the aftermath of war from a female point of view.

"A deserving winner at the British Independent Film awards for (Froggatt’s) powerful performance."
- The Guardian

"4 stars" - Time Out London

   

AFRICA UNITED
June 26th

6pm

The extraordinary story of three Rwandan children who walk 3000 miles to South Africa, hoping to attend the Soccer World Cup. Their adventures lead through an Africa rarely seen, in a story of joy, laughter, hope and generosity.

"You have to admire the young actors’ spirited acting ...Especially fun and the landscapes are enticing." — Time Out
"Packed with action, handsomely photographed, and has enough realism and danger to keep sentimentality at bay." — The Observer

"A winning testimony to the power of positive thinking. An engaging debut from director Debs Gardner-Paterson." — Screen Daily

   

NEDS
June 26th

8pm

When studious John McGill starts secondary school, new friendships lead him to join a gang of NEDS, ‘Non-Educated Delinquents’. As John's rage spins him out of control, he's left with no future, until he's given one extraordinary chance of redemption. Set in 1970s Glasgow.

"4 STARS. Compelling." — The Guardian

"4 STARS. Shocking, powerful and utterly relevant." — Time Out

"4 STARS. Just when you thought British cinema was in danger of stalling in its default mode – along comes NEDs to give it a rude and vital kick up the rear!" — Daily Telegraph,

 

   

THIRD STAR
July 10th

6pm

James and his three closest lifelong friends go on an ill-advised trip - their last together - to the stunning coastal area of Barafundle Bay in West Wales to experience the joy of a group adventure and to resolve the latent tensions that affect the group. The results are touching and funny.

"A nicely crafted drama...Fine performances and impressive locations." — Screen Daily

"Impressively directed and sharply written. Powerfully emotional..with superb performances. Beautifully shot." — View London

"Great humor and warmth. A huge, sweeping film. A knockout central performance."
— The London Times

   

A BOY CALLED DAD
July 10th

8pm

When Robbie, who's been neglected by his own dad, becomes a father himself at the tender age of 14, he kick-starts a series of events that will catapult him into adulthood. Newcomer Kyle Ward gives a wonderfully assured and impressively mature central performance that belies his young age.

"Ian Hart is faultless as Liverpool painter and decorator Joe – feckless, funny, heart somewhere near the right place." — Time Out

"Hart and Ward impress as the warring father and son." — The Independent
