When kung fu prodigy Li Fong (Ben Wang) relocates to New York with his mother to attend a prestigious new school, he finds solace in a new friendship with a classmate and her father.

- Lilo & Stitch
A live-action reimagining of Disney's charming 2002 animated classic, Lilo & Stitch is the wildly funny and touching story of a lonely, rebellious Hawaiian girl, Lilo, and the blue, koala-like, fugitive alien Stitch who - counter to his training as a force of destruction - in fact helps mend her broken family.
Directed by Dean Fleischer Camp, known for his Oscar-nominated, critically adored 2021 animation Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, Lilo & Stitch promises to be a hilarious and poignant update of the beloved original film, featuring the voices of Hannah Waddingham, Courtney B. Vance and Zach Galifianakis.

- National Theatre Live: A Streetcar Named Desire
A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams, directed by Benedict Andrews.
Gillian Anderson (Sex Education), Vanessa Kirby (The Crown), and Ben Foster (Lone Survivor) lead the cast in Tennessee Williams' timeless masterpiece, returning to cinemas.
As Blanche's fragile world crumbles, she turns to her sister Stella for solace - but her downward spiral brings her face to face with the brutal, unforgiving Stanley Kowalski.
From visionary director Benedict Andrews, this acclaimed production was filmed live during a sold-out run at the Young Vic Theatre in 2014.
- The Royal Tenenbaums (2001)
The late Gene Hackman, Gwyneth Paltrow, Ben Stiller and Luke Wilson star in Wes Anderson's glorious story of family dysfunction - perhaps his most beloved film, and the one that formed a template for his witty, heartfelt, precisely styled tragicomedies.
Hackman is patriarch Royal Tenenbaum, whose children with his estranged wife Etheline (Angelica Huston) were all prodigies - Chas (Ben Stiller) a preternaturally gifted international financier, Margot (Gwyneth Paltrow) a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright in high school and Richie (Luke Wilson) a junior champion tennis player. But virtually all memory of their brilliance has been erased by decades of betrayal and disaster - most of which is generally considered to be Royal's fault. So the stage is set for their sudden, unexpected reunion one winter.
- Julie Keeps Quiet
An abuse scandal ripples through an elite tennis academy in Leonardo van Dijl’s coolly riveting debut, co-produced by the Dardenne brothers and executive produced by playwright and director Florian Zeller and tennis champion Naomi Osaka.
When demanding head coach Jeremy (Laurent Caron) is accused of misconduct, all eyes turn to his latest star pupil and private trainee, the ferociously talented and hardworking Julie (Tessa Van den Broeck). Julie may or may not have something to report, but rather than cooperate with the authorities – who may or may not welcome her honesty – this tenacious young athlete stays silent, processing the dramas unfolding around her on her own terms.
- Tummy Monster
When a narcissistic tattoo artist (LornMacdonald) gets an unexpected visit from a celebrity client (Orlando Norman), a seemingly innocent selfie request causes the night to spiral into a bizarre and devastating game of psychological warfare.

- How to Train Your Dragon
From the creative team behind DreamWorks’ acclaimed How to Train Your Dragon trilogy comes this stunning live-action reimagining of the film that launched the beloved animated franchise.
On the rugged isle of Berk, where Vikings and dragons have been enemies for generations, Hiccup (Mason Thames) stands apart. The inventive yet overlooked son of Chief Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler, reprising his voice role from the animated films), Hiccup defies centuries of tradition when he befriends Toothless, a feared Night Fury dragon. Their unlikely bond reveals the true nature of dragons, challenging the foundations of Viking society.
With fierce, ambitious Astrid (Nico Parker) and the village’s quirky blacksmith Gobber (Nick Frost) by his side, Hiccup confronts a world torn by fear and misunderstanding, and as an ancient threat emerges, Hiccup’s friendship with Toothless becomes the key to forging a new future.
- The Phoenician Scheme
The story of a family, and a family business.
Arch cinema stylist Wes Anderson (Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Asteroid City) returns with The Phoenician Scheme, starring Benicio del Toro and Mia Threapleton as an unlikely father-daughter duo in a dark but richly comedic tale of mid-century espionage.
Del Toro is Zsa-zsa Korda, one of the wealthiest men in Europe; Threapleton his daughter Liesl, an unimpressed nun; Michael Cera their hapless tutor Bjorn, alongside a gloriously star-studded wider ensemble that includes Riz Ahmed, Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, Mathieu Amalric, Richard Ayoade, Jeffrey Wright, Scarlett Johansson, Benedict Cumberbatch, Rupert Friend and Hope Davis.
- The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004)
Bill Murray plays a Jacques Cousteau-inspired oceanographer in Wes Anderson's wildly original journey into the deeps, co-written with Noah Baumbach.
Renowned oceanographer Steve Zissou (Bill Murray) has sworn vengeance upon the elusive, treacherous, possibly non-existent jaguar shark that devoured a member of his crew. Alongside his regular team, he's joined on his quest by Ned (Owen Wilson), a man who believes Zissou to be his father, and Jane (Cate Blanchett), a journalist pregnant by a married man. Together they quixotically travel the seas, running into pirates and, somewhat more traumatically, figures from Zissou's past, including his estranged wife Eleanor (Anjelica Huston). Pitched between heartbreak and hilarity, cynicism and earnestness, Anderson's elaborately designed, Cousteau-inspired tragicomedy riffs on both life's vicissitudes and its potential for joy.
- Lilo & Stitch
A live-action reimagining of Disney's charming 2002 animated classic, Lilo & Stitch is the wildly funny and touching story of a lonely, rebellious Hawaiian girl, Lilo, and the blue, koala-like, fugitive alien Stitch who - counter to his training as a force of destruction - in fact helps mend her broken family.

- A New Kind of Wilderness
In this tremendously affecting documentary, Englishman Nik and his Norwegian wife Maria attempt to forge a sustainable new life on a farm in her homeland’s lush woodlands. Their goal is to live sustainably, putting as little strain upon the planet as possible. But when their family suffers a tragedy, Nik’s resolve to continue this mission is challenged and the ‘normal’ world comes knocking. Can they maintain some version of this idyll or is it now out of reach?
Full of the complexities and inescapable truths of real life, A New Kind of Wilderness is not just a heartbreaking portrait of family endurance but also a breathtaking trip into the natural world. The kind of surprising, intimate and honest documentary portrait that can only emerge over years of hard-won access, it’s a story for anyone who wants to (re)discover the power of family and think about different ways of striding this Earth.
“Sad and beautiful… a deeply humane and literate piece of work” ★★★★★ The Guardian
- An Army of Women
Fewer than 1% of reported rape cases lead to felony convictions in America. In the face of this bleak reality, Julie Lunde Lillesæter’s vital film introduces us to Amy, Marina and Hanna, three women whose own rape cases were dismissed by the Austin, Texas police. They join forces with 12 other women in a ground-breaking federal class-action lawsuit – the first to argue that the reason sexual assault isn’t prosecuted is that it predominantly affects women.
A powerful documentary record of a landmark fight against institutional inequality and misogyny, An Army of Women is a compassionate portrait of the women confronting a broken system and a rally cry for activism wherever such situations exist. Showing the power and hope of collective action, it’s a film of resounding relevance worldwide.
