Inspired by the greatest love story of all time.

A passionate, tumultuous love story set against the backdrop of the Yorkshire moors, Wuthering Heights explores the intense and destructive relationship between the tempestuous Catherine Earnshaw (Margot Robbie) and her tortured counterpart, Heathcliff (Jacob Elordi).

Artist Petra Szemán presents a rare screening of Makoto Shinkai’s 2007 anime alongside a selection of their own video work. A Tyne Valley Film Festival screening at Star and Shadow Cinema, Newcastle.

Petra Szemán is a moving image artist working with animation and game-like landscapes. Using a virtual version of themself as a protagonist journeying through animatic realms, they explore liminal spaces and threshold situations, looking to dissect the ways our memories and selves are constructed within a landscape oversaturated with fiction (both on- and off-screen).

In 5 Centimetres per Second, director Makoto Shinkai (Your Name, Weathering With You) tells the tale of two close friends separated by chance and reunited by determination. A journey into three interconnected tales of love and lost innocence that span the minutes and months of their lives.

Please note this screening takes place at Star and Shadow Cinema, please arrive to the venue in good time.

Set against the sun-bleached grit of Los Angeles, Crime 101 weaves the tale of an elusive jewel thief (Chris Hemsworth) whose string of heists along the 101 freeway have mystified police. When he eyes the score of a lifetime, his path crosses that of a disillusioned insurance broker (Halle Berry) who is facing her own crossroads. Convinced he has found a pattern, a relentless detective (Mark Ruffalo) is closing in, raising the stakes even higher. As the heist approaches, the line between hunter and hunted begins to blur, and all three are faced with life-defining choices–and the realisation that there can be no turning back.

Adapted from Don Winslow’s acclaimed novella of the same name, the film is written and directed by Bart Layton (American Animals, The Imposter). Barry Keoghan, Monica Barbaro, Corey Hawkins, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Nick Nolte round out the cast.

Celebrating the 250th anniversary of their births, this unmissable new documentary explores Turner and Constable’s intertwined lives and legacies alongside the groundbreaking Tate exhibition.

Two of Britain’s greatest painters, J.M.W. Turner and John Constable were also the greatest of rivals. Born within a year of each other, both used landscape painting to reflect the changing world around them. Tate Britain is bringing these two greats together for a groundbreaking exhibition, in London from November 2025 to April 2026, and Exhibition on Screen once again has exclusive and privileged access to bring their extraordinary art and remarkable stories to the big screen in February so that you can enjoy both film and exhibition together. Discover unexpected sides to both artists with intimate views of sketchbooks and personal items and insights from leading experts.

Turner’s blazing sunsets and sublime scenes from his travels and Constable’s idealised depictions of beloved places from home whipped the public of the time into a frenzy of enthusiasm. Constable represents the very best of the old school of realism and pastoral nostalgia; Turner, an exciting new way of depicting emotion and dreamlike impressions. Critics compared their starkly different styles to a clash of ‘fire and water’. Don’t miss this opportunity to see these greats side-by-side, as they so often were in life, on the big screen for the first time.

Hinter: An Apocalypse is a film rooted in the history, both recent and ancient, of the area surrounding Hadrian’s Wall in Northumberland, the northernmost county in England. Questioning the nature of enclosure and land ownership, the piece traces a common thread of self-destruction from the colonial project, stretching back to the Roman Empire, to the acts of ecological vandalism which take place on both large and small scales in the present day.

Seeking to encapsulate this quiet landscape that is at the same time a teeming repository of stories, violence, politics, and existential lessons, Hinter functions as both an elegy for an ancient tree and a protest against human rapaciousness and abuse of power.

A film by Matthew Burdis, written by Rachel Chanter, narrated by Claire Rodgerson (The Old Oak) with an original score by Barry Hyde (The Futureheads).

Tickets to this screening are just £3 or free when booked with Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.

This sweet and uplifting Irish road movie from filmmaker Michael Head packs in the laughs as it follows Dermot and Elvis, two music lovers who run a struggling record shop in Omagh, Northern Ireland.

Facing an unpaid rent bill and their vicious landlord Sadie (Derry Girls’ Tara Lynne O’Neill), who’s eager to get them out of her building, the pair stumble across a deal too good to be true: rare, vintage records of blues legend Robert Johnson for sale in Cork at a knock-down price. If they can make it to the other end of Ireland in time, then maybe they could get the rare vinyl, and save the shop.
