After two busy screenings last year, we’re delighted to offer Dumfries audiences another chance to see ‘Nae Pasaran’. Charting the incredible true story of the Scots who managed to ground half of Chile’s Air Force from the other side of the world, this documentary celebrates the longest single act of solidarity against Pinochet’s brutal dictatorship.
Based on the book “The Shadow World”, this documentary is an investigation into the multi-billion dollar international arms trade.
The dashing and debonair actor from ‘The Artist’, Jean Dujardin, lights up the screen as a swashbuckling lothario-turned-faux-hero Captain Neuville in a bawdy new comedy from writerdirector Laurent Tirard (‘Little Nicholas’). 1809, France, Captain Neuville is called to the front, leaving his future bride heartbroken. Her sister decides to write letters on his behalf to cheer her up. But it all goes south when Neuville reappears.
Early C18th. England is at war with the French. Nevertheless, duck racing and pineapple eating are thriving. A frail Queen Anne (a superb Olivia Colman) occupies the throne, and her close friend Lady Sarah (Rachel Weisz) governs the country in her stead while tending to Anne's ill health and mercurial temper. When a new servant Abigail (Emma Stone) arrives, her charm endears her to Sarah. Sarah takes Abigail under her wing, and Abigail sees a chance to return to her aristocratic roots.

Starring Steve Coogan and John C. Reilly as legendary movie icons Laurel & Hardy, ‘Stan & Ollie’ is the heartwarming story of what would become the pair’s triumphant farewell tour.
Based on a true story, ‘Welcome to Marwen’ is a surreal drama about a man using art and creativity to piece his history back together. Mark Hogancamp (Steve Carell), a WWII illustrator, is brutally attacked. He survives, but in addition to his injuries, all of his memories are gone. As he goes through intensive physical and emotional therapy, he also creates a world populated by dolls, who tell his story.
Love and friendship triumph in Carlos Acosta’s vibrant production of this dazzling ballet. Broadcast live from the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London.
Christmas Island is famous for one of the largest annual land migrations – that of forty million red crabs scurrying to the sea. It also houses a high-security detention facility, in which those seeking asylum in Australia are detained indefinitely. Contrasting lush nature with enforced isolation, this documentary follows trauma counsellor Poh Lin as she attempts to support detainees and explores the island’s terrain, its violent past and its inescapable present.
Join us for a big screen outing of three of the very best short films starring Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. In ‘Laughing Gravy’ the pair try to keep their pet dog Laughing Gravy hidden from their landlord, mostly without success. In the superb ‘Towed In The Hole’ Stan convinces Ollie that they should become fishermen, but making a boat seaworthy is not an easy task. In ‘Dirty Work’ Stan accidentally knocks Ollie into a mad professor's rejuvenation formula.
Queen of France at 16 and widowed at 18, Mary Stuart (Saoirse Ronan) defies pressure to remarry. Instead, she returns to her native Scotland to reclaim her rightful throne.

Carefree metalhead Jacek is engaged to beautiful Dagmara and working construction on what is supposed to be the world’s tallest statue of Jesus when a shocking accident completely changes his life. Małgorzata Szumowska provides a powerful indictment of provincial Poland’s hypocrisy, prejudice and fear of difference in this tragicomedy, as Jacek’s face transplant brings out the worst in his small-town neighbours.
The hit Rodgers& Hammerstein musical starring Deborah Kerr as widowed Welsh mother Anna Loenowens, who becomes a governess and English tutor to the wives and many children of the stubborn King Mongkut of Siam (Yul Brynner).
