In Bitter Christmas Spanish maestro Pedro Almodóvar presents two alternating stories, one starring Elsa, an advertising director, in 2004, during a long weekend in December. The second takes place in 2026 and stars Raúl, a screenwriter and director who is writing a script that we soon discover is the story of Elsa, her boyfriend Bonifacio, and her friends Patricia and Natalia.

The film narrates the close relationship between reality and fiction, between inspiration and life, exploring the limits of autofiction and stories within stories.  

Tired from decades of being blown up by explosive ACME products whilst in pursuit of the uncatchable Road Runner, Wile E. Coyote teams up with lawyer Kevin Avery (Will Forte) to fight back in COYOTE vs. ACME.

But ACME has its own powerhouse defence attorney in Kevin’s slick nemesis Buddy Crane (John Cena), who is determined to silence Wile E. and Kevin. What unfolds is a wild quest for justice that’s as thrilling and physics-defying as Wile E.’s lifelong chase for the ever-speedy Road Runner.

The first chapter of Antonin Baudry’s two-part historical epic.

A powerful account of Charles de Gaulle's journey during World War II, from his rise as a military leader to his emergence in French politics between 1940-1945.

Award-winner Sandra Oh (Killing Eve) plays the title role in this razor-sharp reimagining of Moliere’s classic dark comedy.

Telling the truth isn’t always that simple. Alice, a brilliant novelist, despises the carefully constructed lies of modern society. But the more she challenges those around her, the fiercer the backlash becomes. Soon, she must confront the price of speaking her truth in a world that would rather silence her.

Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Indhu Rubasingham directs Martin Crimp’s (Cyrana de Bergerac) highly anticipated play.

In the 72 hours leading up to D-Day, all the pieces are in place except for one key element – the British weather. Britain’s chief meteorological officer James Stagg (Andrew Scott) is called upon to deliver the most consequential forecast in history, locking him into a tense standoff with the entire Allied leadership. The wrong conditions could devastate the largest ever seaborne invasion, while any delay risks German intelligence catching on.

With only his trusted aide Captain Kay Summersby (Kerry Condon) to confide in, and haunted by a catastrophic D-Day rehearsal, the final decision rests with Supreme Allied Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower (Brendan Fraser). With only hours to go, the fate of the war and the lives of millions hang in the balance.

From the director of Blue Jean (filmed in Hexham!) comes an irresistible new take on Jane Austen’s iconic Sense and Sensibility: a charming, witty, and deeply relatable story of love and sisterhood starring Daisy Edgar-Jones, Esmé Creed-Miles and George MacKay.

A record of one of the greatest survival stories in the history of exploration, now considered the world’s first documentary feature, screening as part of Hexham Abbey Festival of Music & Arts.

In 1914, the Endurance sailed from Buenos Aires taking British explorer Ernest Shackleton and his 28-man crew to land on then cross Antarctica via the South Pole. Disaster struck and Endurance, trapped in pack ice, drifted northward throughout a long, dark Antarctic winter, the ship slowly being crushed by the ice. Onboard, pioneering photographer/film maker, Frank Hurley, captured sensational footage of the Antarctic, the ship and crew (who all survived) giving cinema audiences the first moving images of the staggering beauty of this remote and alien continent. This was as astounding then as seeing images of distant planets is to us today. The film, painstakingly restored to wonderful quality by The BFI National Archive, was a sensation and continues to be an astonishing feat of film-making telling of an astonishing feat of endurance.

With live music from Jonny Best, one of the UK's leading improvising silent film pianists and the founding artistic director of Northern Silents, this is an unmissable and memorable movie matinee experience.
