Witness how he became He-Man.

After being separated for 15 years, the Sword of Power leads Prince Adam back to Eternia, where he discovers his home shattered under the fiendish rule of Skeletor. To save his family and his world, Adam must join forces with his closest allies, Teela and Duncan/Man-At-Arms, and embrace his true destiny as He-Man — the most powerful man in the universe.

Peter Mullan gives a brilliant, bittersweet performance in Seán Dunn’s feature debut, a black comedy about ageing, identity and the grey area between history and fantasy.

Local historian and widower Kenneth (Mullan) works in Arberloch visitors’ centre as a tour guide, dressing up as the town’s most notable historical figure, Sir Douglas Weatherford, an 18th century philosopher and inventor who Kenneth proudly claims as his ancestor.

But when the village becomes the base of a big-budget fantasy TV show, ‘The White Stag of Emberfell’, the visitor centre is transformed into an Emberfell experience, and Weatherford becomes a triviality. With the show’s costumed fans descending on the town, Kenneth’s sanity crumbles as the traditions he holds dear are casually dismissed – and his crisis takes an even darker turn as he becomes fixated on the show’s handsome star, Oscar Sorenson.

Our performance on Wednesday July 8th will feature a post film Q&A with the films writer and producer, Justine Waddell. In collaboration with FORUM Books Corbridge. 

Based on Virginia Woolf’s funniest novel and filmed in the North-East, Night & Day is an un-romantic comedy about the passionate astronomer, Katharine Hilbery who does everything she can to avoid romantic love and marriage.

Fun and contemporary in tone, this refreshing film showcases an ensemble of humorous performances against the ravishing backdrop of London in 1910, advances in science and technology and crumbling Edwardian patriarchy.
