★★★★ – Guardian. With an incredible cast and wry observational wit, Jarmusch paints three Carveresque portraits of families from around the world.

"a funny, soulful anthology" – Time Out

★★★★ – Guardian

Jim Jarmusch (Paterson, Only Lovers Left Alive) returns with a comedic triptych on family estrangement which picked up Best Film at the Venice Film Festival.

With an incredible cast and wry observational wit, Jarmusch paints three Carveresque portraits of families from around the world: a widowed father (Waits) and his children confront money-troubles in wintry Pennsylvania; a famous writer (Charlotte Rampling) struggles to connect with her daughters over tea in Dublin; and a brother and sister uncover family secrets in Paris. Honest, humane and charming cinema from a modern master.

Based on Robert Macfarlane's bestseller, Underland is a cinematic voyage beneath the surface of the earth.

Based on the bestselling book by Robert Macfarlane, Underland is a cinematic documentary that voyages into worlds rarely glimpsed by human eyes. Beginning in the shallow soils beneath an old ash tree, the film follows several ‘astronauts of the underworld’ as they travel into ancient sacred caves, flooded storm drains, melting glaciers, underwater burial chambers and a deep underground laboratory built to solve the mysteries of the Universe.

★★★★ – Radio Times

★★★★ – Telegraph

A pitch-black absurdist tale from Academy award-winning Ukrainian director Sergei Loznitsa (Donbass), based on a novella by political activist Gregory Demidov.

1937, at the height of Stalin’s Great Terror. A young prosecutor attempts to seek justice for a prisoner trying to expose corruption within the regime’s secret police, only to embark on a Kafka-esque odyssey that increases the threat to his liberty with every step he takes. Loznitsa’s claustrophobic and austere drama is a chilling portrayal of life under totalitarianism.

★★★★ – Eye for Film

James McAvoy’s directorial debut is the gobsmacking true story of two lads from Dundee who hoodwinked the music industry into rap stardom.

After being rejected by music executives because of their accents, desperate duo Silibil N’ Brains adopt fake personas and reinvent themselves as hard-partying Californian rappers. The ruse soon finds them landing a major record deal, an MTV breakout success and a tour with Eminem. But can their friendship survive the dizzying highs of the hip-hop high life – and the lie that made it all possible?

★★★★ – The Times

"An urgent, indispensable film for our times" – Deadline

"Brilliant and exhilarating" – Time Magazine

An exhilarating documentary from firebrand filmmaker Raoul Peck (I Am Not Your Negro) explores the legacy of writer George Orwell. A powerful montage of contemporary newsreels, photographs, film and archive footage, Peck charts the sinister reverberations of authoritarianism that echo through the 20th century to our present day - from Myanmar and Gaza, to Russia, the Donbass and Trump’s America. This is vital, angry and galvanising filmmaking for our times.

Join us for this one-day course looking at how contemporary cinema constructs, critiques, and reimagines masculinity.

Join us for this one-day course looking at how contemporary cinema constructs, critiques, and reimagines masculinity. Through case studies including American Psycho, Top Gun: Maverick, and Brokeback Mountain, we’ll examine toxic, traditional, queer, and progressive masculinities on screen, combining film analysis with gender theory to discuss how modern films challenge or reinforce cultural ideas about manhood.

This course offers an accessible exploration of masculinity in contemporary cinema, analysing how films represent, question, and redefine ideas of manhood. Through a blend of film theory, gender studies, and practical analysis, participants will investigate how toxic masculinity, traditional versions of ‘manliness’, and emerging progressive identities are communicated through narrative, character, and film technique.

Case studies - including American Psycho, No Country for Old Men, The Expendables, Top Gun: Maverick, and Brokeback Mountain - provide a diverse foundation for understanding the complexities of masculine identity on screen in modern times.

Across the course, learners will engage with discussions around power, vulnerability, queerness, performance, and cultural change, gaining insight into how cinema both reflects and shapes gender politics.

This 4-week course examines the heady, formative decades of Leicester’s cinemas in terms of the films, the neighbourhood and City Centre picturehouses, following the historical links that lead to Phoenix Cinema today.

The first decades of the 20th Century saw a burgeoning popular and alternative cinema and arts scene in Leicester. The Leicester Film Society, inaugurated in 1932, acted as a focus for alternative, international and independent cinema, attracting luminaries such as Roger Manvell, Anthony Asquith, John Grierson and Richard Attenborough.

The first permanent cinemas arrived in Leicester around 1910 and developed apace until the end of the 1930s. Fifteen years after the first public screenings of the Lumiere Brothers’ Cinématographe, cinema transformed from touring fairground attraction into the Electric Palaces of the early 1910s.

This 4-week course will examine these heady and formative decades of Leicester’s cinema and cinema-going in terms of the films screened, the neighbourhood and City Centre cinemas and the personalities who ran them, exploring how ultimately these provide a link to Leicester’s Phoenix Cinema today.

COURSE BREAKDOWN

Week 1: 1900-1920 from fairground novelty to electric palaces - The beginnings of cinema in Leicester

Week 2: The 1920s silent films & orchestras until the arrival of the talkies in 1929.

3000 Lesbians Go To York tells the extraordinary true story of how a lesbian bookseller created the largest gathering of LGBTQ+ women in the UK, when the quietly conservative city of York became the unlikely centre of all things lesbian!

We are delighted that we will be joined by Jane Traies - historian, presenter, and author of 3000 Lesbians Go to York - for a Q&A following the screening.

3000 Lesbians Go To York tells the extraordinary true story of how a lesbian bookseller (who also happened to be trans) created the largest gathering of LGBTQ+ women in the UK, and how from 1998 to 2008, the quietly conservative city of York became the unlikely centre of all things lesbian!

For one thrilling decade, thousands of women flocked to the York Lesbian Arts Festival (YLAF) each autumn, to meet their favourite authors, buy books, hear top female artists live on stage and dance the night away at the ‘disco of a thousand lesbians.’

Featuring interviews with world famous writers Val McDermid, Sarah Waters and Jackie Kay, and the legendary singer Horse, 3000 Lesbians Go To York is a real celebration of the historical significance of this iconic festival!

The Vimala Rowe Quartet bring Find Your World to Phoenix as part of Leicester Jazz House's 2026 summer season.

The Vimala Rowe Quartet: Find Your World traces singer Vimala’s remarkable journey, shaped by the experience of having multiple “mothers” before her adoption by white academic parents, both lecturers at Leicester University. The music, poetry, and voices that guided her through both joyful and turbulent moments are woven into the show – from Billie Holiday to William Blake – forming its emotional and artistic backbone.

Vimala’s original music draws on a rich tapestry of influences: jazz and blues, African and Indian folk traditions, UK indie, and soul. Her story spans nine years living in Bangkok, where she became part of Thailand’s first rap band, followed by a year studying North Indian classical vocals in Maharashtra. Returning to England, she spent a period in reflective retreat before emerging as a striking new voice on the jazz scene, where she is now widely celebrated.

“A singer of quite astonishing versatility and adaptability” – London Jazz News

“One of the most distinctive singers to come along in some time” – The Sunday Times

Line-up:

Vimala Rowe – Vocals

Charlie Flint – Piano

Mikele MonTilli – Bass

Darren Beckett – Drums

The season comes to a close with a live transmission of American composer Gabriela Lena Frank’s first opera, a magical-realist portrait of Mexico’s painterly power couple Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera.

On May 30, the Metropolitan Opera’s 2025-26 Live season comes to a close with a live transmission of American composer Gabriela Lena Frank’s first opera, a magical-realist portrait of Mexico’s painterly power couple Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, with libretto by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Nilo Cruz.

Fashioned as a reversal of the Orpheus and Euridice myth, the story depicts Frida, sung by leading mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard, leaving the underworld on the Day of the Dead and reuniting with Diego, portrayed by baritone Carlos Álvarez. The famously feuding pair briefly relive their tumultuous love, embracing both the passion and the pain before bidding the land of the living a final farewell.

Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts the Met-premiere staging of Frank’s opera, a “confident, richly imagined score” (The New Yorker) that “bursts with color and fresh individuality” (Los Angeles Times). The vibrant new production, taking enthusiastic inspiration from Frida and Diego’s paintings, is directed and choreographed by Deborah Colker.
