Summer/Autumn 2024 Season

Wednesday 18th September -WILDING (2023) PG
(DOCUMENTARY)

Wilding is based on Isabella Tree’s 2018 memoir of how she and her husband Charlie
Burrell completely overhauled the 1400-acre Knepp estate he had inherited in Sussex.
The first thing they were told when they took over the land was that they would never
make a go of farming it, as the soil had been impoverished by over-intensive cultivation,
so the couple decided to experiment with returning it to the wild. They introduced wild
ponies from Dartmoor, let deer wander, and allowed herds of pigs to roam freely (to
the disapproval of their neighbours). All their cows and sheep live outdoors all year
round with little husbandry. Click here for the Trailer

Wednesday 16th October – VINDICATION SWIM (2024) PG
(BIOGRAPHY/DRAMA)

The inspirational story of Mercedes Gleitze, the first British woman to swim the
English Channel, and her battle against both the cold waters of the Channel and
the oppressive society of 1920s England. When a rival claims to have performed
the same feat and is shown to be lying, Mercedes’s own achievement is called into
question, forcing her into a repeat performance, the “vindication swim” of the
title. Click here for the Trailer

Jodie Comer’s (Killing Eve) Olivier and Tony Award-winning performance in Suzie Miller’s gripping one-woman play returns to cinemas.

Tessa is a young, brilliant barrister. She has worked her way up from working class origins to be at the top of her game; defending; cross examining and winning. An unexpected event forces her to confront the lines where the patriarchal power of the law, burden of proof and morals diverge.

Prima Facie takes us to the heart of where emotion and experience collide with the rules of the game.
