Girl From The North Country
Written and directed by celebrated playwright Conor McPherson and featuring Tony Award-winning orchestrations by Simon Hale, Girl From The North Country reimagines 20 legendary songs of Bob Dylan as they’ve never been heard before, including “Forever Young,” “All Along The Watchtower,” “Hurricane,” and “Like A Rolling Stone.”
It’s 1934 in Duluth, Minnesota. We meet a group of wayward travellers whose lives intersect in a guesthouse filled with music, life and hope.
Experience this “profoundly beautiful” Broadway production (The New York Times) brought to vivid life by an extraordinary company of actors and musicians.
Wilding
Knepp is a beacon of hope for England’s wildlife. When Isabella and her husband inherited the estate to farm, they recognised how sick the land was. But a groundbreaking radical experiment has been nothing short of transformative. Now it’s a place where mussel-diving pigs, storks and butterflies find sanctuary, and where thriving flora and a vast array of animals have taken back the land. This is a charming, hopeful and necessary story of ecological regeneration, based on the bestselling book: Wilding —The Return of Nature to a British Farm, which sold 350k+ copies across the UK and has been translated into 16 languages.
Here
Here follows Stefan, a Romanian construction worker living in Brussels who is about to return home to visit his mother, and maybe stay... longer. Using the leftovers from his fridge, he cooks up a big pot of soup and begins handing it out as farewell gifts to friends and family. But while waiting for his car to be fixed, he meets Shuxiu, a Belgian-Chinese woman preparing a doctorate on mosses. Her attention to the near-invisible stops him in his tracks. On the heels of Ghost Tropic (2019), Bas Devos offers another Brussels city symphony. With a quiet grace that's becoming a trademark, he and his team capture both the longing of contemporary urban life and the potential for enchantment that still exists in spaces shared by strangers from different worlds.
Van Gogh: Poets and Lovers
200 years after its opening and a century after acquiring its first Van Gogh works, the National Gallery is hosting the UK’s biggest ever Van Gogh exhibition. Van Gogh is not only one of the most beloved artists of all time, but perhaps the most misunderstood.
This film is a chance to reexamine and better understand this iconic artist. Focusing on his unique creative process, Van Gogh: Poets & Lovers explores the artist’s years in the south of France, where he revolutionised his style. Van Gogh became consumed with a passion for storytelling in his art, turning the world around him into vibrant, idealised spaces and symbolic characters.
Poets and lovers filled his imagination; everything he did in the south of France served this new obsession. In part, this is what caused his notorious breakdown, but it didn’t hold back his creativity as he created masterpiece after masterpiece. Explore one of art history’s most pivotal periods in this once-in-a-century show. Made in close collaboration with the National Gallery
Movie Masperpieces Through The Ages: Masterpieces of Italian Cinema
In the twenty years from 1943-'63, Rome vied with Hollywood for the title of the Most Glamorous place on earth in which to be silver-screen-famous. And yet, in 1946, only 7% of the Italian population had running water, electricity or flushing loos. Within five years, Italian cinema would be exuding grace, charm, style and elegance, proposing a way of life towards which the world raced with open arms. At the forefront of this change, was Italian cinema.
In this talk, illustrated by clips from Rome, Open City, The Bicycle Thieves, The Gospel According to St Matthew, Otto E Mezzo, La Dolce Vita, I Vitelloni and other masterworks, Max Newsom will seek to illuminate one of the most stunning and transformative chapters in the evolution of

At the same time, a Syrian family fleeing the civil war and their Afghan teacher, not knowing that they are tools of political fraud by the Belarusian authorities, are trying to get to the borders of the European Union. In Poland, fate will bring them together with Julia and the young border guard Jan (Tomasz Wlosok). The events taking place around them will force them all to ask themselves anew the question - what is humanity?
