    Director: Danny Boyle

    The apocalypse is upon us… Oscar-winning director Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire) and Oscar-nominated writer Alex Garland (Civil War, Ex Machina) reunite for 28 YEARS LATER, a terrifying new “auteur horror” set in the same devastated world they created in post-apocalyptic horror, 28 Days Later. It’s been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected. One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily-defended causeway. When one member of the group (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders, and horrors that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors as well. The highly anticipated next instalment in the genre-defining zombie thriller franchise features an all-star lineup including Golden Globe winner Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Nosferatu), Emmy winner Jodie Comer (Prima Facie), Oscar nominee Ralph Fiennes (Conclave) and BAFTA rising star Jack O’Connell (Sinners), introducing Alfie Williams. Executive produced by OG 28 Days Later survivor, Cillian Murphy, 28 YEARS LATER is merely the first in a new planned trilogy of films from the brilliant minds of Boyle and Garland.

    One of the world’s greatest singers, Andrea Bocelli has a voice that transcends genres and generations. In this intimate portrait of the acclaimed Italian tenor, Bocelli, for the first time, tells his story in his own words. Documentarian Cosima Spender follows Bocelli with unprecedented access beyond the footlights to reveal an uncompromising artist and devoted family man with a fearless passion for living. Despite losing his sight at age 12, Bocelli dedicated his life to music and, after years spent entertaining customers in piano bars, caught the attention of the legendary Luciano Pavarotti, who heard Bocelli’s voice on a demo tape. Bocelli’s life changed dramatically with the worldwide smash hit “Time to Say Goodbye,” his astonishing duet with Sarah Brightman that catapulted him to superstardom. With hard-fought technical mastery of his voice and his decades-long love of opera — “music’s heaven” — Bocelli would go on to perform on the world’s most prestigious stages and with diverse singing partners such as Céline Dion, Jennifer Lopez, and Dua Lipa. Through interviews, archival performance footage, and informal gatherings with family and friends, Andrea Bocelli: Because I Believe celebrates the voice — and man — who continues to touch the hearts of millions of listeners around the world.

Dubbed by critics and audiences as ‘the funniest film of the year’, Robinson delivers his perfectly honed style of cringe-comedy alongside an effortlessly comedic Rudd, to discomfiting yet belly-laugh-inducing effect.

DeYoung’s surreal, satirical debut feature playfully pokes the beast that is the ‘male-loneliness epidemic’, creating an ideal playground for the side-splittingly funny duo of Rudd and Robinson to form the gleefully awkward and high key obsessive friendship we never knew we needed (no, but actually may this kind of friendship never find me).

Beneath the glossy Notting Hill facade, however, she’s an unpublished romance author battling writer’s block, living with her sister and nephew. More akin to Persuasion’s Anne, a perpetual wallflower, than Pride and Prejudice’s confident Elizabeth, Agathe struggles to find her voice. That all changes when Agathe is invited to a Jane Austen Residency in England. Spending two weeks in a manor full of creative nooks and wandering through forests and glades, Agathe struggles daily with imposter syndrome.

    Fifty years ago, terror swam onto the silver screen—and the world has never looked at the ocean the same way since.

Whether you're a longtime fan or experiencing it for the first time, prepare to relive the tension, the adventure, and the iconic lines that cemented Jaws as one of the greatest films of all time. Just remember—don't go into the water.

    A new era is born. This July, three years after the Jurassic World trilogy concluded, the enduring Jurassic series evolves in an ingenious new direction with Jurassic World Rebirth. Anchored by iconic action superstar Scarlett Johansson, Emmy and SAG nominee Jonathan Bailey and two-time Oscar® winner Mahershala Ali, this action-packed new chapter sees an extraction team race to the most dangerous place on Earth, an island research facility for the original Jurassic Park, inhabited by the worst of the worst that were left behind. Also starring acclaimed international stars Rupert Friend and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, the film is directed by dynamic visualist Gareth Edwards (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) from a script by original Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp. Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, the planet’s ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived. The three most colossal creatures across land, sea and air within that tropical biosphere hold, in their DNA, the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind. Academy Award® nominee Johansson plays skilled covert operations expert Zora Bennett, contracted to lead a skilled team on a top-secret mission to secure the genetic material. When Zora’s operation intersects with a civilian family whose boating expedition was capsized by marauding aquatic dinos, they all find themselves stranded on a forbidden island that had once housed an undisclosed research facility for Jurassic Park. There, in a terrain populated by dinosaurs of vastly different species, they come face-to-face with a sinister, shocking discovery that has been hidden from the world for decades. Ali is Duncan Kincaid, Zora’s most trusted team member; Critics Choice and Olivier Award winner Jonathan Bailey (Wicked, Bridgerton) plays paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis; Emmy nominee Rupert Friend (Homeland, Obi-Wan Kenobi) appears as Big Pharma representative Martin Krebs and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo (The Lincoln Lawyer, Murder on the Orient Express) plays Reuben Delgado, the father of the shipwrecked civilian family.

    Roger Waters, founding member and creative force behind the legendary Pink Floyd, brings to the screen his live show, Roger Waters This Is Not A Drill: Live From Prague - The Movie. Directed by Sean Evans and Roger Waters, the film combines iconic songs from his Pink Floyd days with those from his solo career, encompassing a timespan of sixty years. The show is a stunning indictment of the corporate dystopia in which we all struggle to survive, and a call to action to love, protect and share our precious and precarious planet home. Dedicated to “our brothers and sisters all over the world who are engaged in the existential battle for the soul of humanity”, the movie is an extraordinary assault on the senses, not just musically and visually, but politically and philosophically as well. It captures performances of songs from some of the most influential albums of all time – The Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall, together with those from the most popular of Waters’ solo career, including Amused To Death and Is This The Life We Really Want? Brought together with his band and crew, the show is majestic, with performances that are powerful yet controlled. The sense of control is emphasised by the 360° stage. It provides intimacy and allows the performers to play to all sections of the audience “in the round”. With a rectangular centre with runways extending from each side, creating an elongated cross. Above it is a set of giant LED screens configured the same way. Made up of 12 surfaces, and totalling a huge 650 square meters, they project numerous images and messages that vividly and powerfully reinforce the meanings behind the songs. Because of the size and position of the screens, they can be seen throughout the arena and promote a high-energy production with maximum audience participation.

    Acclaimed director Erik Poppe (The King’s Choice) returns to wartime Norway with Quisling: The Final Days, a bold and fascinating historical drama about the country’s infamous – if not most controversial - autocratic leader. July 1945. Norway has been liberated following WWII, and the country’s head of state Vidkun Quisling (a towering Gard B. Eidsvold) is arrested and put on trial for high treason, accused of collaborating with the Nazis. While devoted wife Maria (Lisa Carlehed, The Emigrants) defiantly stands by her husband and does her utmost to save him, pastor Peder Olsen (Anders Danielsen Lie) begins a series of meetings that officials hope will extract a measure of contrition from the defiant politician.

Delving into the circumstances and motivations of Quisling – a man whose name has become a byword for traitor – this eloquent, thought-provoking film presents him not only as a figure of great complexity, but also one with a disconcerting abundance of contemporary counterparts.

Based on Warren Zanes' 2023 book and starring Golden Globe winner Jeremy Allen White (The Bear, The Iron Claw), the highly anticipated biopic follows Bruce Springsteen's journey crafting his hauntingly raw 1982 album “Nebraska”, which emerged as he recorded Born in the USA with the E Street Band. In the early 80s, Bruce Springsteen (Allen White) is a young musician on the cusp of global superstardom. As the E Street Band rides the high of The River tour, Bruce finds himself increasingly disillusioned by the expectations of stardom. Retreating into solitude in his modest New Jersey home with nothing but a four-track recorder and his guitar, he lays bare a collection of dark, deeply personal songs that will ultimately redefine his legacy. Told through a mix of intimate moments, flashbacks, and stark Americana visuals, SPRINGSTEEN: DELIVER ME FROM NOWHERE explores Bruce’s fraught relationship with his father, his lifelong struggle with mental health, and his refusal to conform to the commercial demands of the music industry. Peeling back the layers of a rock icon at a crossroad, the film sees Springsteen confront his own demons in pursuit of truth through music, leading to an album that is widely considered to be one of his most enduring works. Co-starring Oscar nominee Jeremy Strong (The Apprentice, Succession) as music critic Jon Landau, SPRINGSTEEN: DELIVER ME FROM NOWHERE is helmed by a crew of biopic familiars, creating a real and rare visionary wonder set to be as powerful as the work it is based on.

    Inspired by remarkable true events, acclaimed writer/director Pascal Bonitzer’s sharp and hugely engrossing new dramedy THE STOLEN PAINTING follows a self-assured auctioneer whose professional and personal integrity is challenged by the discovery of a long-lost masterpiece. Paris, present day. Brash 40-something André Masson (César Award-winner Alex Lutz), a hotshot modern art appraiser at prestigious high-end auction house Scottie’s, receives word that a painting by Egon Schiele may have been found in a young factory worker’s home in the Alsatian city of Mulhouse. Though highly sceptical, André travels to view the canvas with his ex-partner Bettina (the superb Léa Drucker, Custody) who is also an expert valuator, only to be convinced of its authenticity as a masterwork long assumed destroyed by Nazi officials during WWII. For André, the ramifications of this once-in-a-lifetime find for his career and for his contentious relationship with his less-than-reliable intern Aurore (Louise Chevillotte), will prove both unexpected and transformative. Skilfully brought to life by an array of endearing and duplicitous characters, THE STOLEN PAINTING is a thrilling exploration of the often-cynical world of art dealing and collecting, where the jaw-dropping prices aren't always related to the rarity of the object or the desire of potential customers.

    One of the year’s finest and most vital French films, and the winner of three prestigious awards at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, writer/director Boris Lojkine’s vivid and compassionate new drama follows a young courier as he races across Paris whilst preparing for a life-changing residency interview. Food delivery workers have become an indispensable part of city life, especially since the pandemic. Among them is Souleymane (Abou Sangaré, in a commanding debut), who criss-crosses the frenetic Parisian streets morning to night, in a constant race against the clock. He, like many around him, is working without permission, ‘renting’ his identity from a friend with legal status. But in just two days, Souleymane will learn whether his own asylum application will be approved or not. So whilst striving to meet his delivery platform’s demands, he nervously practices for his interview, trying to keep his growing anxiety at bay… A social-realist thriller as humanist as it is propulsive, former philosophy professor Lojkine’s masterfully-crafted drama echoes not only Bicycle Thievesand the best films of the Dardennes, but also edge-of-your-seat thrillers such as Uncut Gems and Full Time. Only adding to the film’s immense power is the real-life situation of its remarkable lead, who has already been denied citizenship by French authorities. Three times. A major word of mouth hit at the French box office that became a national talking point, THE STORY OF SOULEYMANE is essential viewing.

    One of France’s most beloved and awarded actors, the remarkable Daniel Auteuil is also an accomplished writer and director in his own right, and the engrossing new legal thriller THE THREAD finds him once again in top form. Auteuil stars as Jean Monier, a well-past his prime defence lawyer who – ever since discovering he was responsible for a killer being exonerated – now prefers to work as a prosecutor. But one evening Jean agrees to help his over-committed wife and fellow counsel Annie (Sidse Babett Knudsen) by meeting with Nicolas Milik (Grégory Gadebois), a shell-shocked father of five who has just been arrested for the murder of his troubled wife. Milik’s predicament inexplicably touches Jean; the more he pieces together the events of the night in question, the more he becomes convinced of Milik’s innocence. Soon Jean rediscovers his passion for his vocation, and becomes obsessed with exposing the killer. Characterised by typically first-rate performances from its stellar cast, this pulled-from-the-headlines drama - based on true events and adapted from the memoirs of lawyer-turned-bestselling author Jean-Yves Moyart - is a gripping exploration of guilt, conceit and the slippery nature of justice. A major word of mouth hit at the French box office in late 2024, THE THREAD packs a genuine punch, with a conclusion that lingers long after the credits have rolled.

    YUNGBLUD. ARE YOU READY, BOY? is a new feature-length documentary from Emmy® and BAFTA winning director Paul Dugdale that follows musician and songwriter Yungblud at a pivotal moment in his career. Ahead of releasing his most personal album to date, and before anyone had heard a note, Yungblud and his touring family travelled to Berlin, where he would perform and record these brand new songs live for the very first time. There would be no audience and no artifice. Nobody telling him what to do, how to sound or who to be. Cameras would roll constantly in the name of truth and trust. And there, at the legendary Hansa Studios building – where Bowie wrote and recorded ‘Heroes’ and U2 created ‘One’ – Yungblud understood that things would never be the same again. This was exactly where he needed to be, to realise where he’s going. Raw, real and ready for what comes next. Shot entirely on location and featuring 12 brand new performances from ‘Idols’, his 4th album, this is Yungblud on film like he’s never been seen before. A personal journey of change, confidence and rock-and-roll chaos, set against a city that has always celebrated counterculture and creativity, YUNGBLUD. ARE YOU READY, BOY? is a revealing and uncompromising documentary about a generational artist finding his own voice.
