    The resounding audience pick of the 2025 Alliance Française French Film Festival, writer/director Emmanuel Courcol's wildly entertaining new comedy MY BROTHER'S BAND follows two siblings separated by fate and reunited by music. Thibaut (the exceptional Benjamin Lavernhe, ‘Delicious', 'C’est la vie!') is an internationally renowned orchestra conductor who travels the world. When a health crisis and subsequent DNA test inadvertently reveals that he was adopted as an infant, Thibaut discovers the existence of a younger brother, Jimmy (rising star Pierre Lottin), who lives in more modest circumstances; he works in a school cafeteria, cares for his mother and plays the trombone in a community brass band. The pair seem to have little else in common other than a love of performance, but sensing his sibling’s talent, Thibaut decides to remedy the injustice of fate and help nurture his brother’s gifts. An eruptive crowd favourite wherever it has premiered (notably receiving the highest audience score in the 51-year history of the San Sebastian Film Festival), MY BROTHER’S BAND is a rousing, feel-great trip to the cinema, expertly striking the perfect harmony between laughter and tears to celebrate family, community and the beauty and hope of collective spirit

Elegant, humane and quietly stirring, THE CHORAL is a film about resilience, shared purpose and the restorative power of music. As lives are fractured by conflict, the act of singing together becomes an assertion of hope and solidarity, offering a deeply affecting portrait of a community finding harmony amid the chaos of war.

    Release Date: Thursday 15th January

    Expanding upon the world created by Danny Boyle and Alex Garland in '28 Years Later', 28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE is a bold and unsettling new chapter, directed by Nia DaCosta, who takes a fearless and nuanced command of the genre. Taking the foundations of the franchise and turning them on their head, this follow-up deepens the mythology with a sharper psychological edge, pushing the series into darker and more morally complex territory. Here, infection is no longer the sole agent of decay - ideology and cult belief shape behaviour as violently as the virus itself. Continuing the epic story, Dr. Kelson (Ralph Fiennes) finds himself in a shocking new relationship with consequences that could change the world as it is known, while Spike (Alfie Williams) is drawn into a nightmare he cannot escape after an encounter with cult leader Jimmy Crystal (Jack O’Connell). Unnerving, provocative and relentlessly tense, 28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE reframes the franchise’s central horror. Under DaCosta’s masterful direction and Garland’s thematically ambitious screenplay, an apocalyptic vision unfolds that explores the extremes of human darkness, while never losing sight of what remains fragile and beautiful.

Rome, present day. Recently separated philosophy professor and father-of-one Piero (Breaking Up In Rome's Edoardo Leo) has arrived for dinner at the home of Lara (Pilar Fogliati), a talented furniture restorer. Lara has just ended her own relationship with a married man; indicative, she feels, of her tendency towards dead-end romances. As the two begin to get to know each other, they must also navigate their competing inner voices - whether instinctive, romantic, logical or impulsive - that guide their emotions and decisions. Over the course of the evening, Piero and Lara’s hidden desires and quirks gradually come to light, along with their hearts’ unmistakeable desire to find a perfect match. Their heads, however, may have other plans… Skilfully blending the same charm and comedic expertise that made Perfect Strangers one of the most internationally remade films in cinema history, SOMEBODY TO LOVE swept over 2.5 million moviegoers off their feet to become Italy’s #1 box office hit of 2025.

    Nominated for a Golden Globe for his mesmerising, tour de force performance, Ethan Hawke (Before trilogy) stars as Lorenz Hart in Oscar-nominated auteur Richard Linklater’s (Before trilogy, Boyhood) acclaimed biographical drama, BLUE MOON. Blending humour and pathos in classic Linklater fashion, BLUE MOON is a heartbreaking and humorous portrait of one crucial night in the turbulent life of the legendary Broadway lyricist.

As the evening unfolds, a newly sober Hart finds himself at a crossroad, unsure of his place in a world that is rapidly changing around him. Featuring a luminous ensemble cast including Scott, Margaret Qualley (The Substance), and Bobby Cannavale (The Irishman), and anchored by Hawke’s career-best turn, BLUE MOON is as richly melancholic and sharply written as one of Rodgers and Hart’s toe-tapping, heart-stirring compositions.

    Winner of the Palme d'Or at Cannes Film Festival and freshly nominated for four Golden Globes, IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT marks a powerful return from master filmmaker Jafar Panahi with a searing moral thriller that blends gripping suspense and dark humour with piercing political inquiry. The film follows Vahid (Vahid Mobasseri), an unassuming mechanic who has a chance encounter with Eghbal (Ebrahim Azizi), a man he strongly suspects to be his former sadistic jailhouse captor.

As the bickering group drives around Tehran with the captive, they must confront how far to take matters into their own hands with their presumed tormentor. What begins as a quest for truth becomes a harrowing and savagely comedic confrontation with conscience, forcing the group to reckon with the cost of vengeance and the possibility of mercy. With complex ideas about the fragility of facts and the weight of moral choice, Panahi turns his personal dissonance into a profound and galvanizing work of art.

Academy Award winner Daniel Day-Lewis, who co-wrote the script with his son Ronan, returns to acting for the first time in eight years. An enigmatic shared history marred by shocking violence and harsh religiosity has left brothers Ray (Daniel Day-Lewis) and Jem (Sean Bean) Stoker estranged for 20 years. Each brother has sought redemption in his own way: Ray lives a life of self-imposed exile, while Jem has taken refuge in his devout faith, and his devotion to partner Nessa (Samantha Morton) and their boy Brian (Samuel Bottomley). But a family crisis forces Jem to track Ray down and ask him to revisit some of the most troubling moments of his life. In Ray’s primitive cabin hidden deep in the woods of northern England, the brothers face the ghosts of the past, baring deep resentments, almost-forgotten grudges and untold tragedy. In his audacious first film, visionary painter Ronan Day-Lewis combines sweeping camerawork, striking visuals and darkly ethereal music with a decades-old mystery for a mythic portrait of two damaged men finally confronting their past.
