Viewing Archived Events: Film
A Year in a Field (12A)
BAFTA-winning documentarian Christopher Morris invites us to slow down, as he films an ancient stone monolith for a year in a West Cornwall field. Filmed from Winter Solstice 2020 to Winter Solstice 2021.
Maestro (15)
Bradley Cooper proves that his directorial debut (A Star is Born) was no fluke with this glorious symphony of a film that focuses on iconic American composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein (West Side Story, On The Town).
The Peasants (15)
From the creators of the Oscar®-nominated Loving Vincent comes an animated rendering of Władysław Reymont’s Nobel Prize-winning tale. DK and Hugh Welchman’s latest film evokes a world of breathtaking beauty and brutality.
The Red Shoes (PG)
In Powell and Pressburger’s visually ravishing masterpiece, a young ballerina is torn between the demands of love and art. The film has proved an inspiration to filmmakers and dancers alike.
The Eternal Daughter (12A)
An artist and her elderly mother confront long-buried secrets when they return to a former family home, now a hotel haunted by its mysterious past. Starring Tilda Swinton in a dual role that transcends gimmickry and achieves powerful resonance.
Powell and Pressburger
Cinema Unbound: The Creative Worlds of Powell and Pressburger is a major UK-wide celebration of one of the greatest and most enduring filmmaking partnerships.
I Know Where I’m Going! (PG) Introduced by Judith Noble
Powell and Pressburger weave their course of true love through flashes of surrealism, a life-threatening whirlpool and an ancient curse, disarming and enchanting in equal measure.
May December (15)
From the outside, Gracie and Joe are the perfect suburban couple. That is, if you don’t take into account the fact that their relationship was a tabloid sensation 20 years ago...
Bringing in Baby: Dream Scenario (15)
Join us for a festive Bringing in Baby with free mince pies! All tickets £4. Sociable screenings for parents, grandparents and carers of babies under 12 months.

Please be part of our Crowdfunder to raise £10,000 for the Future of Plymouth Arts Cinema. We need your help to make our cinema a sustainable and affordable venue for our whole community.
As the cost of living crisis bites, we don’t want people to break the habit of coming to the cinema because it’s something they can no longer afford. There’s no better way to watch a film than to make an event of it and see it on the big screen, with an audience. You won’t be asked any questions if you choose this price point, just choose the Budget Ticket option when you book.
