When Steve Bannon left his position as White House chief strategist less than a week after the Charlottesville ‘Unite the Right’ rally in August 2017, he was already a notorious figure in Trump’s inner circle, and for bringing a far-right ideology into the highest echelons of American politics. Unconstrained by an official post — though some say he still has a direct line to the White House — he became free to peddle influence as a perceived kingmaker, turning his controversial brand of nationalism into a global movement.
The Brink follows Bannon through the 2018 mid-term elections in the United States, shedding light on his efforts to mobilise and unify far-right parties in order to win seats in the May 2019 European Parliamentary elections. To maintain his power and influence, the former Goldman Sachs banker and media investor reinvents himself — as he has many times before — this time as the self-appointed leader of a global populist movement. Keen manipulator of the press and gifted self-promoter, Bannon continues to draw headlines and protests wherever he goes, feeding the powerful myth on which his survival relies.
In the sleepy small town of Centerville, something isn’t quite right. The moon hangs large and low in the sky, the hours of daylight are becoming unpredictable, and animals are acting strangely. No one quite knows why. News reports are scary and scientists are concerned. But no one foresees the strangest and most dangerous repercussion that will soon plague the townsfolk – the dead rising from their graves.
Bill Murray, Adam Driver and Chloë Sevigny star alongside a host of other Jarmusch regulars (including Tilda Swinton as a katana-wielding undertaker) in a droll, quirky tale of zombie uprising in Middle America, centring on a trio of cops leading the fight against the undead horde. Putting the dead into deadpan, it’s a raucous, rueful and satirical glimpse at human habits and desires at the end of the world.
A world of darkness unfurls in broad daylight in a bold, dread-soaked folk horror from Hereditary director Ari Aster. Dani (Florence Pugh) and Christian (Will Poulter) are on the verge of breaking up. But after a family tragedy keeps them together, a grieving Dani invites herself to join Christian and his friends on a trip to a unique midsummer festival in a remote Swedish village. What begins as a carefree holiday in a land of eternal sunlight takes a sinister turn, as the festivities of the insular locals render the pastoral paradise increasingly unnerving and viscerally disturbing.
In the aftermath of ENDGAME, Peter Parker (Holland) just wants things to return to some sort of normality after five years of chaos. So he plans to leave the heroics behind for a few weeks and go to Europe on vacation with his friends. But Nick Fury (Jackson) has other ideas, roping Parker into tackling the mystery of several elemental creature attacks across the continent. In the absence of Iron Man, the webslinger must step up and take on new threats in a world that has changed forever.
NASA’s vaults open for the first time to reveal exquisite audio and vivid film footage of its most celebrated mission: the one that first put men on the moon. The meandering cameras in Cape Canaveral capture a dreamy-eyed portrait of America as it steps into the future. From inside the Apollo 11 spacecraft, the amazingly jocular conversation of the astronauts punctuates each stage of the mission with lightness and charm. The crowds watching the rocket, however, are oblivious to the enormous pressure mission control is under to succeed.
Director Todd Miller takes you straight to the heart of this intense scientific and human endeavour, sharing the atmosphere and action from every stage of the mission. The footage is so clean and vibrant, it’s as if you’re there standing at the base of the rocket. Painstakingly crafted and realised, this jaw-dropping immersive experience offers a new look into one of humanity’s greatest achievements.

From Danny Boyle and Richard Curtis comes a British musical comedy about dreams of stardom and unexplained phenomena. Aspiring singer-songwriter Jack Malik (Patel) is struggling with his career. He’s just a man with big dreams and a guitar, loved and supported by his childhood best friend, Ellie (James); and he’s far from famous. Until one day, during a mysterious global blackout, a car hits him and he comes round to find that nobody remembers The Beatles – apart from him! Feeling obliged to bring the legendary melodies of the Fab Four back to life, and with a little help from his steely American agent (McKinnon), Jack rises to global stardom faster than you can say, ‘I believe in yesterday.’ But he may have taken on more than he can handle.

It’s back – the jewel in Pixar’s crown and the story that changed cinema forever. The adventures of Woody, Buzz and the gang continue in another rollercoaster of a movie, which promises to pull on the heartstrings and tickle the funny bones of kids and grown-ups alike.
Woody (Tom Hanks) has always been confident about his place in the world, and that his priority is taking care of his kid, whether that’s Andy or Bonnie. So when Bonnie’s prized but reluctant new toy, a disposable spork called Forky (Tony Hale), runs away during a family vacation, Woody and friends begin a quest to bring him back where he belongs. On their ensuing road-trip adventure alongside new faces and old friends, the charismatic pull-string cowboy learns just how big the world can be for a toy.

Having never won a major tournament, ailing football giant SSC Napoli had criminally underachieved. Their fanatical support was unequalled in both passion and size. None were more feared, but they longed for success.
On 5 July 1984, Diego Maradona arrived in Naples for a world-record fee, and for seven years all hell broke loose. It was a perfect match: the world’s most celebrated footballer, blessed on the field but cursed off it, and the most dysfunctional city in Europe.
The charismatic Argentine quickly led the club to their first-ever title. In the sprawling chaos of Naples, where the devil would have needed bodyguards, Maradona became bigger than God himself. But there was a price: Diego could do as he pleased while performing miracles on the pitch, but when the magic faded he became almost a prisoner of the city.
Made by the award-winning team behind SENNA and AMY, using over 500 hours of never-before-seen footage from Maradona’s personal archive, this is the wild and unforgettable story of God-given talent, glory, despair and betrayal, of corruption and ultimately redemption.
Contains infrequent strong language, nudity, bloody detail and drug references.

ROCKETMAN also stars Jamie Bell as John’s longtime lyricist and writing partner Bernie Taupin, Richard Madden as John’s first manager, John Reid, and Bryce Dallas Howard as John’s mother Sheila Farebrother. Dexter Fletcher, who took over directorial duties for the smash hit musical biopic BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY, is at the helm.

The Edge is a compelling, funny and emotional insight into a band of brothers’ rise to the top, their unmatched achievements and the huge toll it would take. One of the toughest sports on the planet, and psychologically perhaps the most challenging, The Edge explores the ruthless intensity of the game, the impact it can have on players’ mental health and the extreme price of success.
This is test cricket like you've never seen it before.
Between 2009 and 2013, the England Test cricket team rose from the depths of the rankings to become the first and only English side to reach world number one since ICC records began. Captain Andrew Strauss and coach Andy Flower took over a team including some of the true greats of the English game and transformed them into a phenomenal winning machine before the pressure and scrutiny began to fracture mind, body and soul.
The team helped redefine what success meant.
Featuring incredible unseen footage from the period and compelling new interviews from star players and coaching staff including: Andrew Strauss, Kevin Pietersen, Sir Alistair Cook, James Anderson, Stuart Broad, Graeme Swann, Jonathan Trott and Andy Flower, The Edge reveals the team’s intense and often hilarious pursuit of success.

Eye-poppingly realistic CGI brings to life Disney’s cherished animation about a lion cub’s brave journey from pride outcast to proud king. Jon Favreau’s immersive vision gathers a majestic cast on the African savannah to honour all the seminal moments and iconic songs of the original film. James Earl Jones reprises his role as the wise and just King Mufasa, while Donald Glover is Simba, the young prince who takes his royal destiny to heart. Chiwetel Ejiofor lends his voice to Scar, the king’s scheming brother, who forms his own plans to take the throne.

On a quest to find his real family, Gonzo discovers – through his breakfast cereal, no less – that his long-lost relatives are actually aliens from another planet. After announcing his findings to the world on UFOMania, Miss Piggy’s talk show, Gonzo becomes the target of paranoid government operative K. Edgar Singer (Jeffrey Tambor). With the help of Kermit and the gang, he must escape from Singer’s compound and get to the rendezvous point in time to meet his alien family.
Going to school for the first time is one of the biggest things you'll do in your life. You're away from home, fitting in with routines and learning so many new things ... whilst also getting along with a class full of new friends. It's exciting, but a massive change!
SCHOOL OF ROARS helps children prepare for school life by exploring a child's first year through the relationships and experiences of our mini monsters.
Because they're monsters, our little heroes go to school at night, led by teacher Miss Grizzlesniff. The class learn lessons on how to be monsters, like counting the legs on spiders in maths, how to howl at the moon in music, or making delicious Blushberry Blob Cakes in cookery. Our monsters experience life-lessons through their adventures such as caring, sharing, friendship and fun, mirroring the social and emotional behaviour and group dynamics of our audience who are starting school.
We are delighted to feature the following episodes:
I WANT THE HUMAN
Wufflebump really wants to take Brian ‘the class toy human’ home. He thinks the only way to achieve his goal is by being the best at everything. But with each lesson, a fellow classmate gets into trouble and Wufflebump steps in to rescue them, sacrificing his chance for victory… or has he?
DRESSING UP
The monsters delve into Miss Grizzlesniff’s dressing up chest. Wufflebump dresses up as a super monster, Icklewoo as a pirate, Wingston as an alien and Yummble as a cupcake but poor Meepa can’t find a costume to fit her four monster arms. Can her friends use their imagination and a little bit of spider magic to help?
MONSTER ASSEMBLY
It’s the day of the class assembly and shy Icklewoo is suffering from stage fright.
While the monsters act out ‘The Tale of Yeti”, their performance suffers a set back. Will Icklewoo be brave enough to step in and save the show?
DRAGON BRIGADE
At film club the monsters decide to make a pretend movie about the dragon brigade. But, when Miss Grizzlesniff gets in a pickle with her popcorn machine, the real dragon brigade rush to her rescue and the monsters capture the action on camera.
GROWLING UP
Yummble isn’t looking forward to having a new baby brother or sister. He wants his mummy all to himself, so Mrs Grizzlesniff comes up with an idea to make him change his mind. Can the monsters convince him it’s much better to be a monster-mazing big brother rather than a little scrumble Yummble?

Between 2009 and 2013, the England Test cricket team rose from the depths of the rankings to become the first and only English side to reach world number one since ICC records began. Captain Andrew Strauss and coach Andy Flower took over a team including some of the true greats of the English game and transformed them into a phenomenal winning machine before the pressure and scrutiny began to fracture mind, body and soul.
The team helped redefine what success meant.
Featuring incredible unseen footage from the period and compelling new interviews from star players and coaching staff including: Andrew Strauss, Kevin Pietersen, Sir Alistair Cook, James Anderson, Stuart Broad, Graeme Swann, Jonathan Trott and Andy Flower, The Edge reveals the team’s intense and often hilarious pursuit of success.

Eye-poppingly realistic CGI brings to life Disney’s cherished animation about a lion cub’s brave journey from pride outcast to proud king. Jon Favreau’s immersive vision gathers a majestic cast on the African savannah to honour all the seminal moments and iconic songs of the original film. James Earl Jones reprises his role as the wise and just King Mufasa, while Donald Glover is Simba, the young prince who takes his royal destiny to heart. Chiwetel Ejiofor lends his voice to Scar, the king’s scheming brother, who forms his own plans to take the throne.
In the sleepy small town of Centerville, something isn’t quite right. The moon hangs large and low in the sky, the hours of daylight are becoming unpredictable, and animals are acting strangely. No one quite knows why. News reports are scary and scientists are concerned. But no one foresees the strangest and most dangerous repercussion that will soon plague the townsfolk – the dead rising from their graves.
Bill Murray, Adam Driver and Chloë Sevigny star alongside a host of other Jarmusch regulars (including Tilda Swinton as a katana-wielding undertaker) in a droll, quirky tale of zombie uprising in Middle America, centring on a trio of cops leading the fight against the undead horde. Putting the dead into deadpan, it’s a raucous, rueful and satirical glimpse at human habits and desires at the end of the world.

A world of darkness unfurls in broad daylight in a bold, dread-soaked folk horror from Hereditary director Ari Aster. Dani (Florence Pugh) and Christian (Will Poulter) are on the verge of breaking up. But after a family tragedy keeps them together, a grieving Dani invites herself to join Christian and his friends on a trip to a unique midsummer festival in a remote Swedish village. What begins as a carefree holiday in a land of eternal sunlight takes a sinister turn, as the festivities of the insular locals render the pastoral paradise increasingly unnerving and viscerally disturbing.
In the aftermath of ENDGAME, Peter Parker (Holland) just wants things to return to some sort of normality after five years of chaos. So he plans to leave the heroics behind for a few weeks and go to Europe on vacation with his friends. But Nick Fury (Jackson) has other ideas, roping Parker into tackling the mystery of several elemental creature attacks across the continent. In the absence of Iron Man, the webslinger must step up and take on new threats in a world that has changed forever.
NASA’s vaults open for the first time to reveal exquisite audio and vivid film footage of its most celebrated mission: the one that first put men on the moon. The meandering cameras in Cape Canaveral capture a dreamy-eyed portrait of America as it steps into the future. From inside the Apollo 11 spacecraft, the amazingly jocular conversation of the astronauts punctuates each stage of the mission with lightness and charm. The crowds watching the rocket, however, are oblivious to the enormous pressure mission control is under to succeed.
Director Todd Miller takes you straight to the heart of this intense scientific and human endeavour, sharing the atmosphere and action from every stage of the mission. The footage is so clean and vibrant, it’s as if you’re there standing at the base of the rocket. Painstakingly crafted and realised, this jaw-dropping immersive experience offers a new look into one of humanity’s greatest achievements.

From Danny Boyle and Richard Curtis comes a British musical comedy about dreams of stardom and unexplained phenomena. Aspiring singer-songwriter Jack Malik (Patel) is struggling with his career. He’s just a man with big dreams and a guitar, loved and supported by his childhood best friend, Ellie (James); and he’s far from famous. Until one day, during a mysterious global blackout, a car hits him and he comes round to find that nobody remembers The Beatles – apart from him! Feeling obliged to bring the legendary melodies of the Fab Four back to life, and with a little help from his steely American agent (McKinnon), Jack rises to global stardom faster than you can say, ‘I believe in yesterday.’ But he may have taken on more than he can handle.
It’s back – the jewel in Pixar’s crown and the story that changed cinema forever. The adventures of Woody, Buzz and the gang continue in another rollercoaster of a movie, which promises to pull on the heartstrings and tickle the funny bones of kids and grown-ups alike.
Woody (Tom Hanks) has always been confident about his place in the world, and that his priority is taking care of his kid, whether that’s Andy or Bonnie. So when Bonnie’s prized but reluctant new toy, a disposable spork called Forky (Tony Hale), runs away during a family vacation, Woody and friends begin a quest to bring him back where he belongs. On their ensuing road-trip adventure alongside new faces and old friends, the charismatic pull-string cowboy learns just how big the world can be for a toy.

Having never won a major tournament, ailing football giant SSC Napoli had criminally underachieved. Their fanatical support was unequalled in both passion and size. None were more feared, but they longed for success.
On 5 July 1984, Diego Maradona arrived in Naples for a world-record fee, and for seven years all hell broke loose. It was a perfect match: the world’s most celebrated footballer, blessed on the field but cursed off it, and the most dysfunctional city in Europe.
The charismatic Argentine quickly led the club to their first-ever title. In the sprawling chaos of Naples, where the devil would have needed bodyguards, Maradona became bigger than God himself. But there was a price: Diego could do as he pleased while performing miracles on the pitch, but when the magic faded he became almost a prisoner of the city.
Made by the award-winning team behind SENNA and AMY, using over 500 hours of never-before-seen footage from Maradona’s personal archive, this is the wild and unforgettable story of God-given talent, glory, despair and betrayal, of corruption and ultimately redemption.
Contains infrequent strong language, nudity, bloody detail and drug references.

After surviving a bullet in the head on her wedding day, The Bride, aka Black Mamba (Uma Thurman), a former assassin, emerges from a coma and swears revenge on her old boss and his deadly squad of trained killers (played by Lucy Liu, Daryl Hannah, Vivica A Fox and Tarantino regular Michael Madsen).
Tarantino’s first feature for six years after JACKIE BROWN, KILL BILL marked a welcome return from one of American cinema’s most visually inventive and zeitgeist-attuned filmmakers. Married to the director’s love of the minutiae of popular culture (there are a number of neat gags revolving around Charlie Brown, cereal and the hippest brands of trainers) is an indulgence of his love of the samurai genre, incorporating some stunning martial arts set pieces featuring choreography courtesy of the CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON team. In her Bruce Lee tracksuit, Thurman (for whom Tarantino wrote the part) makes a feisty heroine with Liu perhaps her most notable foil.
In KILL BILL: VOL. 2, as The Bride continues her vengeful assault on the four assassins who left her for dead, she inches ever closer to her ultimate goal of laying waste to her former employer – and the man who ordered the hit on her – Bill (David Carradine). Bringing some of the peripheral characters from the first instalment to the fore, KILL BILL: VOL. 2 is another bravura, adrenalin-inducing exercise in genre filmmaking.

When Steve Bannon left his position as White House chief strategist less than a week after the Charlottesville ‘Unite the Right’ rally in August 2017, he was already a notorious figure in Trump’s inner circle, and for bringing a far-right ideology into the highest echelons of American politics. Unconstrained by an official post — though some say he still has a direct line to the White House — he became free to peddle influence as a perceived kingmaker, turning his controversial brand of nationalism into a global movement.
The Brink follows Bannon through the 2018 mid-term elections in the United States, shedding light on his efforts to mobilise and unify far-right parties in order to win seats in the May 2019 European Parliamentary elections. To maintain his power and influence, the former Goldman Sachs banker and media investor reinvents himself — as he has many times before — this time as the self-appointed leader of a global populist movement. Keen manipulator of the press and gifted self-promoter, Bannon continues to draw headlines and protests wherever he goes, feeding the powerful myth on which his survival relies.

Having never won a major tournament, ailing football giant SSC Napoli had criminally underachieved. Their fanatical support was unequalled in both passion and size. None were more feared, but they longed for success.
On 5 July 1984, Diego Maradona arrived in Naples for a world-record fee, and for seven years all hell broke loose. It was a perfect match: the world’s most celebrated footballer, blessed on the field but cursed off it, and the most dysfunctional city in Europe.
The charismatic Argentine quickly led the club to their first-ever title. In the sprawling chaos of Naples, where the devil would have needed bodyguards, Maradona became bigger than God himself. But there was a price: Diego could do as he pleased while performing miracles on the pitch, but when the magic faded he became almost a prisoner of the city.
Made by the award-winning team behind SENNA and AMY, using over 500 hours of never-before-seen footage from Maradona’s personal archive, this is the wild and unforgettable story of God-given talent, glory, despair and betrayal, of corruption and ultimately redemption.
Contains infrequent strong language, nudity, bloody detail and drug references.

This unmissable event – the first to go global – features the previously unreleased full concert from 17 June 1991 at Giants Stadium.

Mixed by Jeffrey Norman in glorious surround sound with video from the multi-camera live edit, this will be the first time the Bruce Hornsby and Vince Welnick line-up has ever appeared on the big screen.
Starting with a shocking ‘Eyes Of The World’, the Dead were firing on all cylinders from the opening notes of the show, mixing classics like ‘Truckin’’ and ‘Uncle John’s Band’ with rarities including ‘Saint Of Circumstance’, ‘Might As Well’, ‘New Speedway Boogie’ and ‘China Doll’. But the real standout was the recurrence of ‘Dark Star’, which wove in and out of the setlist, making no less than six distinct appearances and teases during the show. The Dead capped off the spectacular night with a perfect song to send the crowd on its way – The Band’s ‘The Weight’.
As a special treat, this extraordinary screening will also feature a reveal of the Grateful Dead’s 2019 box set, featuring the Dead’s legacy manager, archivist and producer David Lemieux.

“Brown leaves analysis of the surf-cult mystique to seagoing sociologists, but demonstrates quite spiritedly that some of the brave souls mistaken for beachniks are, in fact, converts to a difficult, dangerous and dazzling sport” (Time Magazine)
