Ten years, several awards, a superb cast of staff and volunteers, numerous stellar Q&As and over 340,000 visitors later, we are excited to celebrate our 10th birthday with you, our wonderful audience. See the next page for some of our achievements from the last 10 years. We are thrilled to bring you a preview screening of Whit Stillman’s highly entertaining Jane Austen adaptation Love & Friendship for our gala birthday celebration; join us on Saturday 21st May (a week before the film comes out) for fizz, cake and a witty and elegant film. We want to celebrate with our younger audience too, so we have planned a Teddy Bears’ Picnic with a screening of Paddington for earlier in the day. Our staff and volunteers have selected some of their favourite films from our last ten years – and those which definitely deserve to be seen again on the big screen – which will be shown across the programme at the prices we charged in 2006: £5 for adults, £3.50 for youngsters. Look out for the Staff Pick icon and join us for a celebration of the last ten years. We are thrilled to be working with the Town Team and Saffron Walden Town Council for Cinema in the Square on Saturday 28th May – a FREE screening of John Waters‘ Hairspray in Saffron Walden’s Market Square, followed by music and dancing. 10 YeArs We will be announcing further celebrations of our 10th birthday across the summer – see our website or social media for further announcements.

Encouraged by his rebellious and charismatic coach (Jackman), he took on the establishment and won the hearts of sports fans when he competed at the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics. A very British film, full of warmth and wit, about the ultimate underdog. (2016 UK/USA/Ger 106 mins) 5pm screening followed by a Q&A with actor Jo Hartley. The peArL BUTTon (el botón de nácar) (12A) Mon 2 8pm direCTor Patricio Guzmán sCreen TesT This lyrical documentary offers a rich reflection on landscape, history and culture in Chile. Guzmán takes us on a journey into the waters of Southern Chile, considering the fate of the Patagonian indigenous people, the first English sailors and more recent political prisoners and the ‘disappeared’. Poetic and haunting.

Banished by the church, a Puritan English family moves to an isolated plot by an ominous forest. Strange and unsettling things happen: the animals turn malevolent, the crops fail and the baby disappears. A disturbing and atmospheric examination of the age-old concepts of witchcraft, black magic and possession, stunningly written, acted and directed. Beautiful, bleak and deeply unnerving.

Two sisters escape from a bungled lorry theft and wind up pretending to be ‘beat poets’ at a camping retreat in the Black Mountains of Wales. Here they make a mess of putting up tents, hear lots of bad poetry and fall for the charms of the same man. Guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

A self-obsessed motivational speaker finds escape from the mundanity of his life through a chance meeting with the unassuming Lisa. A gorgeously odd film about love, pain, solitude and humanity. (2015 USA 90 mins) hiGh-rise (15) Fri 13th & sat 14th 8pm direCTor Ben Wheatley CAsT Tom Hiddleston, Sienna Miller, Jeremy Irons, Elisabeth Moss sCreen TesT Wheatley’s adaptation of JG Ballard’s 1975 dystopian satire is a heady cocktail of shmoozing, sex and excess set against a backdrop of class warfare. Dr Robert Laing (Hiddleston) moves into a brutalist high-rise tower of luxury apartments, a building that operates as a microcosm of the society outside its walls and which slowly unravels into savage chaos. Boldly funny and true to Ballard’s anarchic vision.

In classic comic book fashion the two giants clash on an epic scale until a greater danger threatens Metropolis, demanding their combined efforts. Dark and dramatic, see this as much for Wonder Woman’s silver screen debut as for the superhero showdown.

As the mission escalates, a young girl enters the kill zone, triggering an international dispute over the implications of modern warfare. A polished and nail-biting drama.

Set in the opulent drawing rooms of 18th-century English society, this deliciously sharp comedy follows the matchmaking pursuits of beautiful young widow Lady Susan Vernon (Beckinsale).

As father and son go on the run, an intense chase ensues as they are hunted down by a mysterious cult and a clandestine government agency – the outcome of which could bring about a world-changing event. A genre-defying thriller redolent of early Spielberg.

Cheadle gives a brilliant performance, full of attitude, as he explores both the man and the myth, facing his heroin addiction and violence against women as well as his pioneering brilliance. Using flashbacks and a loose, improvisatory style (akin to jazz itself), the film effortlessly evokes the period as well as Davis’ proud swagger and turbulent life.

Completely inexperienced and unprepared, she was dropped in the middle of a war zone and yet quickly grew to love the adrenaline-paced work.

The BrAnd neW TesTAMenT (Le tout nouveau testament) (15) Mon 13th 8pm direCTor Jaco Van Dormael CAsT Pili Groyne, Benoît Poelvoorde, Catherine Deneuve, Yolande Moreau sCreen TesT This inventive, fantastical black comedy situates God in a drab flat in modern-day Brussels. Petty and vindictive, he giggles as he thinks up new ways to irritate mankind. His daughter Ea has had enough and devises a plan to escape, acquire six new disciples and create a brand new testament. Flamboyant and defiantly outré, this is a vastly entertaining religious satire, but one with room for humanity and optimism.

Laughs come thick and fast as she fulfills her dream of playing Carnegie Hall, thus becoming the worst opera singer of all time. But behind the comedy is a touching story as those who love her protect her from painful reality and the power of her dream shines through.

Bird Island is a paradise populated by happy, flightless birds until a boatload of mysterious green piggy interlopers arrives. It’s up to three unlikely outcasts – bad-tempered Red, speedy Chuck and volatile Bomb – to figure out what the pigs are up to. Terrific animation and ludicrously funny.

The film follows the quartet’s lives over the course of changing seasons and draws a subtle portrait of a family learning to cope with the past by creating their own future. An exquisite film, full of quiet joys and simple pleasures.

Chronicling the period from his marriage in 1944 to his untimely death in 1953, the film follows the singer’s rise from local radio performer to best-selling country superstar and its tragic effect on his health and personal life.
