The estranged children of a once-famous artist hire a forger to complete his unfinished works so they can be "discovered" and sold after his death.

Directed by Steven Soderbergh (Black Bag, Oceans Trilogy), starring the legendary Ian Mckellen and award winning Michaela Coel, this black comedy explores the nature of fame, the responsibility of critics, the arrogance of genius and the danger of gatekeeping.

“McKellen and Coel (...) are a fascinating and perfect mismatch in energy.”

" Simple pleasures like these are why movies were created."

After a brilliant sold out preview screening as part of our Tyne Valley Film Festival, we are pleased to bring back the breathtaking hiking drama, The North for a full run of shows.

Having taken the same 350-mile walk in their youth, former best friends and roommates Chris and Lluis meet up after a decade to hike Scotland’s West Highland Way and Cape Wrath Trail. The pair hope to rekindle their once-strong friendship by spending 30 days together in the majestic, raw beauty of the Scottish Highlands.

Shot entirely on the route of the walk, and in chronological order, The North is a beautiful ode to friendship and the healing power of nature.  It’s not only a poignant and powerful drama, but also perhaps the definitive hiking film, allowing us to take in the stunning majesty of the Highlands shoulder-to-shoulder with Lluis and Chris as they reconnect with each other and with nature.
