All Quiet on the Western Front tells the gripping story of a young German soldier on the Western Front of World War I. Paul and his comrades experience first-hand how the initial euphoria of war turns into desperation and fear as they fight for their lives, and each other, in the trenches.

Kicking off phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Super-Hero partners Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) and Hope Van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) return to continue their adventures as Ant-Man and the Wasp.

Together, with Hope’s parents Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) and Janet Van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer), the family finds themselves exploring the Quantum Realm, interacting with strange new creatures and embarking on an adventure that will push them beyond the limits of what they thought was possible. Jonathan Majors joins the adventure as the time-travelling supervillian, Kang.

Both showings of Creature will open with a short film by regional choreographer and dance artist, Beth Veitch.

Beth will join us on March 28th to introduce her film Waiting for a Hug. Tickets to this show are FREE TO ALL FRIENDS OF THE FORUM.

Based on the acclaimed English National Ballet production, choreographed by Akram Khan and directed by Academy Award-winning director Asif Kapadia (Senna, Amy), Creature is a genre-busting collaboration that fuses film and contemporary dance.

In a dilapidated former Arctic research station, Creature is unknowingly enlisted by a military brigade into an experimental programme. Creature meets and falls in love with Marie, a cleaner who shows him kindness and compassion; together they dream of escape.

This vivid cinematic experience is a beautiful, tragic tale of an outsider’s search for belonging, the insatiable desires of the powerful, and the enduring hope found in human connection and compassion.

After a cargo ship sinks in the middle of the vast Pacific Ocean, a 16-year-old boy named Pi is stranded on a lifeboat with four other survivors – a hyena, a zebra, an orangutan and a Royal Bengal tiger. Time is against them, nature is harsh, who will survive?

Filmed live in London’s West End and featuring state-of-the-art visuals, the epic journey of endurance and hope is bought to life in a breath-taking new way for cinemas screens.

The Afterlight exists as a single 35mm film print. Further eroding every time it screens, the film is a living document of its life in circulation. Eventually it will disappear entirely.

Fragments of hundreds of films from around the world bring together an ensemble cast of actors with one thing in common: each is no longer alive. Together, they contend with a fragile existence lived solely through these traces of their work.

The Afterlight will be screened from it's original (and only) 35mm print.

For this special screening we are offering all Friends of the Forum a complimentary plus one ticket.

To redeem this offer simply book for more than one ticket using your Friends of the Forum membership online, over the phone or at the cinema - making sure to apply your member benefits to both tickets when prompted.
