In this Oscar winning animation, a cat finds a community among other animals on an epic survival journey.
There are traces of human inhabitants, but they are now nowhere to be seen as water begins to flood the landscape. The story begins following a small, solitary cat as the shoreline rises and the home where it once lived is submerged underwater. Forced to flee, he happens upon a refuge boat containing a calm and unperturbed Cabybarre who seems amenable to his presence, and the two begin a journey on the water towards higher ground. Along the way they cross paths with a lemur, obsessed with collecting shiny objects, a boisterous and excitable dog and a stoic, mysterious secretary bird. Together, as they traverse the landscape on their fable-like quest, the ragtag team of animals must learn to trust each other and work together to survive.
Flow pushes the boundaries of animation, immersing audiences in a world before unseen.

Visionary filmmaker Raoul Peck chronicles the life and work of Ernest Cole, one of the first Black freelance photographers in South Africa, whose early pictures revealed to the world Black life under apartheid. When Cole fled South Africa in 1966, he lived in exile in the U.S., extensively photographing New York City and the American South, fascinated by the ways the country could be at times vastly different, and at others eerily similar, to his segregated homeland. After his death, more than 60,000 of his 35mm film negatives were rediscovered. Through Cole’s own writings, the recollections of those closest to him, and the lens of his uncompromising work, Peck reintroduces Ernest Cole as a pivotal artist to a new generation. With Lakeith Stanfield as the voice of Cole.

50th Anniversary Re-release
Slade in Flame both confounded and delighted audiences when it was originally released, at the height of the legendary glam-rock band's fame, following their incredible six No.1 UK singles from 1971-1973. A fictional tale but based on true experiences and starring the band themselves as the members of Flame – this was a music film like no other. Charting the rise and fall of a pop group at the end of the 1960s – from bold beginnings in seedy clubs to booze-addled endings in spectacular stadiums – this darkly cynical, warts-and-all portrait of a band in freefall amidst the music-industry suits who want a piece of the pie was not what anybody was expecting.

The spectacular sculptures and paintings of Michelangelo seem so familiar to us, but what do we really know about this Renaissance giant? Michelangelo’s genius is evident in everything he touched. Beautiful and diverse works such as the towering statue of David, the moving Pietà in the Papal Basilica of St. Peter and his tour-de-force, the Sistine Chapel ceiling, still leave us breathless today.
Spanning his 88 years, Michelangelo - Love and Death takes a cinematic journey through the print and drawing rooms of Europe through the great chapels and museums of Florence, Rome and the Vatican to seek out a deeper understanding of this legendary figure’s tempestuous life, his relationship with his contemporaries and his incredible legacy.
Through expert commentary, stunning visuals and Michelangelo’s own words, this film takes a fresh look at a master artist whose life and genius are celebrated in every mark he made. Returning to cinemas in 2025 to celebrate this iconic artist’s 550th birthday.
Sculptor, painter, architect, poet, genius - discover why Michelangelo is without a doubt one of the greatest artists of all time.
