Try our Monday Night 
In 1892, Sasha, a teenage girl from a Russian aristocrat family, has always been fascinated with her grandfather’s life as an explorer. When her grandfather goes missing she embarks on an epic adventure to find out what happened to him and save her family’s reputation in this wonderfully animated tale.
‘Deshantori’ (meaning “The Migrant”) is a Bangladeshi film which brings to life the circumstances in developing nations that forces young people towards illegal migration. It develops around the re-construction of a shockingly painful journey of 26 young Bangladeshis who tried to migrate to Spain illegally through the Sahara Desert and the Mediterranean Sea (in which they were forced to resort to cannibalism to stay alive). The film explores how a lack of social justice and economic opportunities can force people to take such drastic measures.
Relocating the story to New York and based on the best-selling novel by Paula Hawkins ‘The Girl On The Train’ follows Rachel Watson's life post-divorce. Rachel (Emily Blunt) takes the train to work every day and spends her commute fantasizing about a young couple living down the street from her ex-husband. One morning, she sees something shocking and finds herself entangled in a mystery that promises to forever alter the lives of everyone involved.
Andrea Arnold’s latest film is a sprawling road movie about a teenage girl, Star (Sasha Lane), with nothing to lose who joins a travelling magazine sales crew.
Directed by Sergei Eisenstein with music by Sergei Prokofiev. The first of Eisenstein’s sound films, this is an inspired collaboration between director and composer, with some of the film shot to Prokofiev’s music and some of the music composed to Eisenstein’s footage. The climactic set piece of the Battle on the Ice has served as a model for epic movie battles ever since. Black and white.
Ken Loach won the 2016 Palme D’Or prize for the second time for ‘I, Daniel Blake’.
In this vivacious comedy, shy 14-year-old Benoît moves to Paris and a new high school, where he’s rejected by his cooler classmates and reluctantly sidelined into a precarious friendship with the ‘freaks and geeks’.
