Milly Alcock (House of the Dragon) soars as Kara Zor-El (aka Supergirl) in SUPERGIRL, the electrifying second chapter in the newly launched DC Universe, spearheaded by visionary producer James Gunn following his 2025 global smash-hit, Superman. Directed by acclaimed Australian filmmaker Craig Gillespie (I, Tonya, Cruella), the film follows Kara's darker origin before she finally made her way to Earth. When an unexpected and ruthless adversary strikes too close to home, Kara Zor-El reluctantly joins forces with an unlikely companion on an epic, interstellar journey of vengeance and justice.

Be careful what you wish for. From writer-director Curry Barker, comes the chilling horror-thriller OBSESSION, a cynical and twisted love story that dives head deep into the horror of what being with someone by any means necessary could do to you. After breaking the mysterious "One Wish Willow" to win his crush Nikki's (Inde Navarrette) heart, Bear (Michael Johnston) a young hopeless romantic finds himself getting exactly what he asked for. When Nikki quickly becomes increasingly obsessed with him to a frightening and violent degree, Bear soon discovers that some desires come at a dark, sinister price. With a standout, chaotic and unnerving lead performance from Navarette and an ingenious skewering of relationship dynamics, OBSESSION is a sharp, unnerving, and surprisingly funny descent into the dangers of wanting to be loved a little too much.

The enchanting new comedy of manners from acclaimed writer/director Grégory Magne (whose debut Perfumes was a sleeper success in 2019), THE MUSICIANS stars Valérie Donzelli as a wealthy heiress whose plan to stage a landmark concert is derailed by the clashing egos of the virtuosos recruited for the performance. Astrid Thompson (Donzelli) is determined to honour her late industrialist father’s final wish: unite four priceless Stradivariusstringed instruments for the premiere recital of a new composition by his favourite artist, to be live-streamed for music lovers globally. With just six days to rehearse, a quartet is assembled, but the dream quickly unravels: the musicians are at odds, blinded by their differences and prejudices, and seemingly incapable of working together. With the deadline fast approaching, Astrid tries to coax the reclusive composer of the score, Charlie Beaumont (Frédéric Pierrot), out from creative seclusion in the desperate hope of salvaging the event… As the film crescendos to a tender, exhilarating finale where harmony is found not only in music but human connection, THE MUSICIANS celebrates both the chaos and beauty of collaboration. Set amidst the villas, vineyards, and chapels of the stunning Champagne region, with an exquisite original score by Grégoire Hetzel, this is sparkling entertainment for the heart (and ears).

Returning to the sci-fi genre over 40 years on from his critically acclaimed works, E.T the Extra-Terrestrial and Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Spielberg weaves a chilling story of control, knowledge and power in DISCLOSURE DAY, making audiences question if we are truly alone in this universe and what we would do if we found out we weren’t.

Set against the sweeping highlands of Scotland, Glenrothan is a heartfelt drama about roots, reconciliation, and the ties that refuse to be broken. The story follows two estranged brothers who return to their hometown after years apart, each carrying the weight of old conflicts and unspoken regrets. Drawn back by the passing of their father, they find themselves not only confronting family history but also rediscovering the power of community in a place where tradition runs deep. Shot with breathtaking cinematography that captures both the rugged beauty and quiet intimacy of rural life, Glenrothan is as much a love letter to the landscape as it is a stirring human story. The film blends warmth, humour, and poignancy, offering audiences a moving exploration of belonging and forgiveness. This is the directorial debut from Brian Cox, who stars alongside an outstanding ensemble including Alan Cumming, Shirley Henderson, Alexandra Shipp, and Siobhan Redmond.

It will never stop. A haunting and authentic directorial debut from Australian writer-director Adrian Chiarella, LEVITICUS delivers a new, poignant entry into the coming-of-age horror genre. An isolated Australian small town hosts the evils of religious fanaticism and its consequences for queer youth, creating an atmosphere that is both chilling and near-claustrophobic. Joe Bird (Talk to Me) and Stacy Clausen intimately embody Naim and Ryan, magnetically attracted teens coming into their sexuality, yet facing physical and spiritual violence at every turn. When their growing bond is discovered by their community, a ritual is performed on them, releasing a violent entity that takes the form of the victim’s purest desire, each other. At times sensual, and just as often thrilling, with a standout performance from the critically acclaimed Mia Wasikowska, LEVITICUS shines as an authentic reflection on what it means to love queerly despite the persistent dangers from within and without.

Everybody has one hidden talent. From Academy Award winner, director Daniel Roher (Navalny), comes his first narrative feature, TUNER, a gripping crime-drama that follows a piano tuner’s unexpected aptitude for cracking safes. Niki (Leo Woodall) a gifted young piano tuner who possesses a heightened sense of hearing, draws the attention of criminals who see his talents as useful for opening safes as well as for tuning Steinways.

When Niki's safecracking begins to pull him into increasingly dangerous territory, his budding romance with Ruthie starts to become threatened and he must soon decide whether to dive deeper into the criminal world or forge his own path.

A darker reimagining of a legend long defined by heroism, A24’s THE DEATH OF ROBIN HOOD recasts its outlaw as a battle-worn figure shaped as much by regret as by myth. From director Michael Sarnoski (A Quiet Place: Day One), THE DEATH OF ROBIN HOOD brings together award-winning Hugh Jackman alongside Jodie Comer (28 Years Later) and Bill Skargård (Nosferatu). Gravely injured after a battle he thought would be his last, Robin (Jackman) is pulled from the brink by a mysterious woman (Comer), forcing him into a fragile state where survival depends on trust rather than legend. Grappling with his past after a life of crime and murder, he is confronted with the reality of the man behind the myth, far removed from the folklore that once defined him. As memory and time begin to shift, what unfolds is a slow, unravelling reckoning shaped by violence, regret and uneasy alliances. Somber, atmospheric and stripped of romanticism, THE DEATH OF ROBIN HOOD lingers on the cost of survival, where redemption, if exists at all, feels uncertain and hard-won.

From acclaimed director Steven Soderbergh, THE CHRISTOPHERS is a sharp, darkly comic exploration of art, legacy and deception, led by Golden Globe winner Ian McKellen and Emmy winner Michaela Coel. At its centre is Julian Sklar (McKellen), a once celebrated painter now living in reclusion, whose unfinished works become the focus of a covert scheme orchestrated by his estranged children. Hoping to secure their inheritance, they enlist Lori (Coel), a skilled art restorer, to quietly complete the paintings in his distinctive style, blurring the line between preservation and imitation. What begins as an act of forgery gradually unfolds into something more intricate, as Julian and Lori enter a shifting battle of intellect and influence. As their dynamic deepens, questions of authorship, authenticity and ownership come to the fore, revealing the uneasy relationship between artistic creation and commercial value. Wry, intimate and layered, THE CHRISTOPHERS offers a fascinating meditation on how art is created, valued and ultimately claimed, where legacy is as contested as the work itself.

In 18th century Venice, 20-year-old violin virtuoso Cecilia lives at the Pièta orphanage, where, despite her talent, she remains confined, knowing that marriage is the only way out.

In this bittersweet portrait of a vanishing rural way of life, 28-year-old Dalia leaves London to check up on her ageing grandfather Igor, an expert truffle hunter in the picturesque but isolated Italian region of Piedmont. At first Igor can barely hide his resentment towards Dalia’s intrusion, and the two struggle to find common ground about anything other than Igor’s adorable truffle-hunting dog, Birba. This is until Dalia discovers that Igor is behind on his mortgage payments and sets out into the woods with Birba in tow to find a rare and valuable truffle in the hopes of saving the family home. What ensues is a visually spectacular journey into the rarely seen Piedmont forest, where Dalia and Birba have to contend with rival truffle hunters, the dangers of the forest, and the shady agricultural industry in order to find the legendary lightning-struck truffle. A touching story about intergenerational connection and the passing down of traditions and knowledge, with a scene-stealing performance from Birba the dog (who made its big screen debut in The Truffle Hunters), Gabriele Fabbro’s second feature film is a must for lovers of Italy, food, and dogs.

The horror franchise that skewered a generation returns, with Anna Faris (Cindy), Regina Hall (Brenda), Marlon Wayans (Shorty) and Shawn Wayans (Ray) reuniting twenty-six years after first outrunning a suspiciously familiar masked killer. This time, the targets are firmly set on modern horror, taking aim at reboots, sequels, elevated horror and every “final chapter” that somehow refuses to stay buried. As Cindy, Brenda, Shorty and Ray are dragged back into another increasingly ridiculous nightmare, nothing is off limits. Reuniting the Wayans brothers with the series that redefined parody cinema, SCARY MOVIE returns to its gloriously unfiltered humour and rapid-fire pop culture satire, where no trope survives, every line gets crossed and absolutely nothing is sacred. Gleefully outrageous and knowingly absurd, it revives the spirit that made the original a cultural phenomenon.

As the virus spreads, the order begins to mutate. Straight from the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, horror master, writer-director Yeon Sang-ho’s (Train to Busan) latest horror COLONY, is a gore-filled zombie thriller that dives head deep into the anxiety of surveillance and the trauma of contagion. Biotech professor Se-jeong (Jun Ji-hyun) is attending a conference for intelligence and information exchange when she is thrust into a bloody nightmare when a disgruntled former employee, scientist Suh Young-cheol (Koo Kyo-hwan), unleashes a potent and rapidly mutating virus, leaving the infected learning collectively and evolving in minutes. In the multi-purpose building, home to a conference centre, restaurants and retail stores, a ragtag group of the uninfected band together and try to stave off the growing horde of zombies. On the outside, politicians and emergency personnel gather, questioning whether the infected should be treated as patients to be cured or monsters to be destroyed. Featuring standout performances from supporting cast, Ji Chang-Wook, Kim Sin-Rok and Shin Hyun-hee, COLONY is a fascinating exploration of the dangers of rapid communication, showcasing through the collective mind of the zombies that its ability to rapidly relay information is a tool of psychological threat rather than a safety net. Sang-ho brilliantly exposes the complexities of human nature, revealing how quickly one will become a predator when faced with becoming prey.

Chaoshan grandmother Ye Shurou has always lived a quiet, ordinary life, content in her old age. Little does she know that her grandson Xiaowei, burdened by debt and hiding it from his family, has secretly traveled to Thailand in search of his grandfather Zheng Musheng — rumored to have become a billionaire there. However, the news Xiaowei brings shatters the family's peace. The husband she thought had found another lover in Thailand, Zheng Musheng, had in fact passed away many years ago. Even more shocking is that an unknown woman, through remittance letters known as Qiaopi, had quietly shouldered the responsibility of supporting the family in Musheng's name for decades. As a yellowed, faded Qiaopi unfolds, the truth buried for decades gradually comes to light. Across the long river of time, the bonds among these three figures — transcending borders, fate, and the cruelty of their era — have transformed into the most moving "love letter" that Ye Shurou has ever received.
