Acclaimed director Pablo Larrain (Spencer, Jackie) once again turns his focus to the fame and misfortune of a woman in the spotlight.

Paris, 1977. Her health in decline, opera star Maria Callas recounts pivotal moments from her life and career to a television journalist. As the two wander the city, flashbacks detail Calla’s legendary stage performances, her harsh upbringing in wartime Greece, and her turbulent affair with the shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis.

Starring Angelina Jolie in a comeback tour-de-force central performance, Maria is an account of the final days of the world’s greatest opera singer.

Join us for a special charity screening of Rocks, a life-enhancing film directed by Sarah Gavron and featuring a standout cast of young actors, with two of the film’s stars winning BAFTAs for their performances! This heartfelt film explores themes of family, friendship, and resilience, making it a powerful experience for all ages.

The screening has been specially selected by the Forum’s volunteer director, who is retiring in March after many years as part of the community cinema team and has chosen this screening to raise funds for a local cause during his last few months in the role.

Not only will you enjoy a fantastic film, but your ticket will also support Tynedale Hospice at Home as the chosen charity. All proceeds from the screening will go towards the vital care services we offer that provide essential support to our local community.

Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to enjoy a brilliant film while supporting your local Hospice.
