Wed 6, 6pm
Dir. Farah Nabulsi, UK / Occupied Palestinian Territory, 118 mins. English and Arabic with English subtitles. Cast. Saleh Bakri, Muhammad Abed Elrahman, Nabil Al Raee, Mahmoud Bakri
Inspired by true events, this powerful West Bank-set drama centres on a grieving schoolteacher who is attempting to keep a student out of trouble whilst engaging in his own acts of political resistance. British-Palestinian Farah Nabulsi — who won a BAFTA for her short film The Present — returns to the West Bank for her powerful debut feature. Saleh Bakri (Wajib, The Blue Caftan) plays Basem, a teacher whose student Adam becomes bent on revenge. Whilst trying to keep Adam out of trouble with the help of volunteer worker Lisa (Imogen Poots), Basem is also engaged in a dangerous act of resistance. Nabulsi paints a portrait of the complex situation in the West Bank, showing that there are no easy answers.
Praised by critics, The Hollywood Reporter wrote, ‘Bakri’s performance is unpredictable from moment to moment…newcomer El Rahman brings youthful fervour to every aspect of Adam, and the transformation he embodies… is extraordinary. The Teacher deftly avoids neat, self-satisfied lessons’.

Dir. Justin Martin, 109 mins.
Jodie Comer’s (Killing Eve) Olivier and Tony Award-winning performance in Suzie Miller’s gripping one-woman play returns to cinemas. Tessa is a young, brilliant barrister. She has worked her way up from working class origins to be at the top of her game; defending; cross examining and winning. An unexpected event forces her to confront the lines where the patriarchal power of the law, burden of proof and morals diverge. Prima Facie takes us to the heart of where emotion and experience collide with the rules of the game.
Justin Martin directs this solo tour de force, captured live in 2022 during a sold out run at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London’s West End.

Dir. Pedro Almodóvar, Spain/US, 2024, 110 mins. Cast. Tilda Swinton, Julianne Moore, John Turturro.
Pedro Almodóvar’s first English-language feature film stars Tilda Swinton and Julianne Moore in a gorgeous, tender tale of a dying journalist trying to reconnect with an old friend. Ingrid (Moore) and Martha (Swinton) were close friends in their youth, when they worked together at the same magazine. Ingrid went on to become an auto-fiction novelist while Martha became a war reporter. The two were separated by the circumstances of life but, after years of being out of touch, they meet again in an extreme but strangely sweet situation.
After having swept up the Golden Lion at this year's Venice Film Festival, Almodóvar’s 23rd feature harks back to his thematically similar Pain & Glory with his typical stylish flair.
Clay and Bone
Saturday 9th November, 4.45pm
Dir. Brian McClave, UK, 2021, 79 mins. Narration written and performed by Will Self.
Clay & Bone is a feature length, experimental documentary film that uses the Crossrail Film Archive to illustrate a hypnotic prose poem about London, written and narrated by the writer Will Self.
Here is Will Self’s description of the film:
The Crossrail project is a new railway for London: 73 miles of track and 13 of tunnels beneath the storied capital. In Clay & Bone this vast new infrastructural project is both shown under construction, and hymned as a human endeavour that reveals us to ourselves even as we burrow beneath London’s infamously sticky clay.
Using footage shot throughout the seasons, day, night, and at scores of locations, Clay & Bone fuses this with interludes within which the archaeological remains exposed by the tunnelling are described.
This is a prose poem as much as a documentary film: a poem in which images and words stand proxy for one another. Will Self’s incantatory narration for the film proposes the Crossrail route as a voyage through time as much as space: a journey back to the very origins of the city in the oozing mud of the Thames estuary – and in telling the tale it duets with film sequences that accelerate time then slow it down; provide an encompassing vision of this vast project – then submits its elements to the closest scrutiny.
As much a philosophic meditation as a celebration of ambitious civil engineering, Clay & Bone shows us the skull beneath the shiny skin of 21st century urbanity.

Dir. Emmanuel Courcol, France, 2024, 103 mins. Cast Benjamin Lavernhe, Pierre Lottin, Sarah Suco Director. In French with English subtitles. Recommended age: 12+
This French spin on Mark Herman’s Brassed Off (the British comedy-drama about colliery bands) has a beating emotional pulse of its own. Thibaut (Benjamin Lavernhe) is an internationally renowned conductor of the Lille Symphony Orchestra who travels the world. He discovers he was adopted - then also finds out he has a younger brother, Jimmy (Pierre Lottin), who works in a school cafeteria and plays the trombone in a school marching band. While they seem to be worlds apart, their unwavering love of music unites them in difficult circumstances.
The third feature film by screenwriter, actor and director Emmanuel Courcol emerges as an immensely touching and melodious work, bringing relationships and music to the fore.
Even the most austere observer would be hard pushed not to shed a tear or two. Eye for Film

Fri 15, 6pm

Wed 20, 8.30pm
Dir. Stephanie Jones, US, 2024, 95 mins. English and Portuguese with English subtitles.
Filmmaker Stephanie Jones’ thrilling documentary follows world-champion Brazilian surfer Maya Gabeira, who after a brush with death, battles against monster waves as well as chauvinism in the field of competitive surfing.
This feature length documentary tells the extraordinary story of Maya Gabeira, the first woman to surf the giant wave in Nazaré, Portugal. She nearly drowns – and is ridiculed by the male big wave surfers who dominate the sport. Three spine surgeries and five years later, she surfs the biggest wave a woman has ever surfed. When her accomplishment is disregarded, Maya enlists the help of her fans to fight for recognition – and becomes the first female surfer honoured with a Guinness World Record in big wave surfing.
Maya draws strength from her mother, the fashion designer Yamê Reis, and her father, Fernando Gabeira, whose life in radical politics was depicted in the Oscar-nominated film Four Days in September. With thrilling (and terrifying) surf footage the aquatic landscapes of Maya and the Wave are a cinematic experience.

When Johnny traces the gang to a specific surf-spot, he has to learn to keep his head above water and feet fixed on his board.

Dir. Steve McQueen, UK, 2024, 120 mins. Cast. Saoirse Ronan, Paul Weller, Harris Dickinson, Benjamin Clémentine.
In the face of nightly air raids, East End mum Rita grows increasingly worried about her son George’s safety. Under the counsel of her father, Gerald, she makes the heart-wrenching decision to send him to the countryside. But a few hours into his journey, George alights the train, determined to return to Stepney Green and his family. Friends and foes stalk London’s streets, but each encounter populates George’s map of his world, giving him an understanding of how his fellow citizens are affected by these tumultuous times.
McQueen’s incredible ensemble cast inhabits a war-torn London that’s impeccably realised but the film’s trump card is newcomer Elliott Heffernan, who captures George’s emotional strength, impish humour and sense of loyalty to his family with a wisdom beyond his years. Through him, McQueen’s Blitz represents one of the finest portrayals of life in a moment of crisis, perseverance and renewal.
Silent Men (tbc) + Intro from Andy’s Man Club
Tuesday 19th November, 6pm
Dir. Duncan Cowles, UK, 2024, 88 mins.
Why do so many men struggle to show their feelings? Part therapy, part road trip, BAFTA award winning filmmaker Duncan Cowles asks men how they open up in order to directly address his own difficulties in being intimate and open with his loved ones. With profound honesty and deadpan wit, Silent Men intertwines awkward conversations and the filmmaking process, asking what makes men tick, and more importantly, how to come to terms with all aspects of health, both physical and mental. Exploring aspects of masculinity that all too often are little discussed, this film opens the door for other ways of being, communicating and healing, as well as attempting to define masculinity.
Please be aware that this film contains sensitive content related to suicide and mental health. If you or someone you know is struggling with the issues covered in this film, you can find more information at silentmenfilm.com

#ClimateScam? Who's Shaping the Climate Debate?
As the world faces increasingly devastating climate-related disasters, why do so many people believe that the climate crisis is nothing more than a hoax?
In this eye-opening documentary, Jaz, a young mobile hairdresser and social media-savvy member of the TikTok generation, embarks on a journey to uncover the truth.
In home visits with leading climate scientists, activists and sceptics, she starts to unravel a web of misinformation and conspiracy theories that should worry us all.
With social media algorithms increasingly funnelling us into polarised views of 'reality', Jaz discovers who stands to gain from the conflict and falsehoods that could undermine our ability to confront the greatest challenge humanity has ever faced.
The latest documentary produced by Cornwall Climate Care.

Can you help shape our understanding about attitudes to climate change and climate action?
We will be running a focus group alongside the screening of #ClimateScam? to gather important information about how public attitudes to climate change are evolving.
If you are willing to take part in this you'll be entered into a prize draw with a chance to win a wide range of great rewards, from a free surf session to a Riverford veg box, or vouchers for wonderful attractions such as the Cornish Seal Sanctuary, National Marine Aquarium... or Plymouth Arts Cinema!
All you will need to do is turn up about 20 minutes earlier for the film session to take part in a pre-screening survey - and then answer a few more questions after the film. There will also be a short follow-up survey three months later.
We would like to hear from everyone, but are also very keen to hear from people who would never normally watch a film about climate change and/ or who are dubious in any way about climate issues - be that in terms of the science itself, our ability to actually do anything about climate change, or the proposed solutions to it. If you are of a sceptical mindset, or if you have a friend or relative who is, we would love to hear from you!
If you are interested in taking part, please email Cornwall Climate Care's net zero intern Gypsie Berry on berrygypsie@gmail.com for more details about how to take part.

Dir. Andrea Arnold, UK, 2024, 119 mins. Cast. Franz Rogowski, Barry Keoghan, Jason Buda.
A 12-year-old girl’s fractured home life is transformed when she encounters a mysterious stranger seeking out his own family in Andrea Arnold’s striking tale.
Young Bailey feels caged in her Gravesend squat home. Reckless, wannabe drug dealer dad Bug plans to marry his new girlfriend. Older brother Hunter plots to elope with his underage partner. Meanwhile, across town, Bailey’s near-feral younger siblings are menaced by her mum’s new and violent lover. Small wonder she’s intrigued by the enigmatic Bird, a flighty free spirit searching for his own roots.
Arnold (Fish Tank, American Honey) once again displays her wondrous ability to infuse coming-of-age stories focused on marginalised lives with uncompromising grit and a sensual connection to nature. The pulsating soundtrack and lived-in performances (newcomer Adams is a standout) are perhaps expected. But Bird also sees Arnold pushing in new directions, incorporating not just social, but magical realism – an unexpectedly transformative addition that helps her wild, shapeshifting film soar.

F-Rated
Friday 22nd November, 8.30pm

Join us for this special screening of Polite Society, presented by the Film Critic and Girls On Film podcast host, Anna Smith as part of the BFI’s Art of Action season. This genre-blending British feature debut weaves action and comedy into a spirited tale of a young martial artist who makes an elaborate attempt to prevent her sister’s wedding.
16-year-old Ria K is an aspiring stuntwoman living with her family. Loyal to her older sister Lena, she’s aghast when Lena becomes engaged to surgeon Salim – the charming, wealthy scion of the prominent Shah family – and announces their imminent move to Singapore. Is it sibling envy, or is something genuinely awry? After enlisting the help of her friends, Ria attempts to pull off the most ambitious of all wedding heists in the name of independence, sisterhood and all stuntwomen, alive and dead.
This dynamic, energetic and wickedly funny film tells an Austen-esque tale of two sisters via anarchic genre shifts that take in action comedy, martial arts, Bollywood and social horror. Beautifully designed, fantastically choreographed and boasting a tremendously witty, punchy script, it’s the ultimate action smash-up which sets new levels for a genre which borrows and blends from the best.

Dir. Mati Diop, France/ Senegal, 2024, 68 mins. In French and English with English subtitles. With. Gildas Adannou, Habib Ahandessi, Joséa Guedje.
From acclaimed filmmaker Mati Diop (Atlantics), Dahomey is a poetic and immersive work of art that delves into real perspectives on far-reaching issues surrounding appropriation, self-determination and restitution. Set in November 2021, the documentary charts 26 royal treasures from the Kingdom of Dahomey that are due to leave Paris and return to their country of origin: the present-day Republic of Benin. Using multiple perspectives Diop questions how these artefacts should be received in a country that has reinvented itself in their absence. Winner of the coveted Golden Bear prize at the 2024 Berlinale, Dahomey is an affecting though altogether singular conversation piece that is as spellbinding as it is essential.

Sean Baker (Florida Project, Red Rocket) presents a modern-day Cinderella story about Ani, a young sex worker from Brooklyn, meeting Vanya, the spoiled son of a Russian oligarch, who offers her a glamorous new life of possibility and incredible wealth.
Ani’s wild ride and fairytale is soon threatened when news of their whirlwind marriage gets back to Russia, resulting in Vanya’s parents flying to New York to manage the situation.
Both wildly entertaining and heartbreaking, Anora takes audiences on a freewheeling, rambunctious adventure that escalates to dizzying levels. Drawing comparisons to Pretty Woman, it constantly plays with genre and audience expectations. But what shines through most, as it does in all of his films, is Baker’s love for and unwillingness to judge his characters.

The men of the family must do seasonal work in the French Alps or fight in colonial and world wars, while the women and children work in the fields. When the Fascists come to power in Italy, the Ughettos decide to emigrate to the neighbouring country.
