International Women’s Day is celebrated on March 8 every year. It is a focal point in the movement for women’s rights, born of the international Socialist Women’s Conference of 1910, combined with women’s suffrage celebrations in the Soviet Union in 1917, and finally adopted by the United Nations in 1975. This year we chose to celebrate one of the UK's finest film-makers, Joanna Hogg. Joanna made her directorial and screenwriting feature film debut in 2007 with Unrelated while the first film of hers that we showed here was Archipelago in 2010, in which deep fractures within a family dynamic begin to surface during a getaway to the Isles of Scilly. Two of her films, The Souvenir (2019) and The Souvenir Part II (2021), topped the Sight & Sound annual poll for best film in their respective years.

One of the most anticipated releases of the year, Kenneth Branagh's Belfast is a personal and joyful story about the power of memory. It's a semi-autobiographical film which chronicles the life of a working-class family and their young son's childhood during the tumult of the late 1960s in the Northern Ireland capital.
The latest film from Palme d’Or winning director Apichatpong Weerasethakul (Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives) stars Tilda Swinton as a Scottish woman, who, after hearing a loud ‘bang’ at daybreak, begins experiencing a mysterious sensory syndrome while traversing the jungles of Colombia.
Inspired by the original 1957 musical, West Side Story brings the classic romance ‘Romeo and Juliet’ to the harsh and gritty streets of Upper West Side, New York. During a tense gang rivalry between the Jets and the Sharks, Tony finds himself falling in love with his rival’s sister, Maria. As the turf war between the two gangs grows more violent by the day, their love blossoms and threatens to rip apart the neighbourhood.
Licorice Pizza is the story of Alana Kane and Gary Valentine growing up, running around, and falling in love in the San Fernando Valley, 1973. Written and Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, the film tracks the treacherous navigation of first love.
