After a diving accident leaves him quadriplegic at 25, a former ship mechanic and poet Ramón Sampedro spends 30 years fighting for the right to end his life with dignity. Based on a true story, The Sea Inside is a moving, Oscar-winning film from Alejandro Amenábar, starring Javier Bardem in a powerful lead performance.

Join us for an evening of film and conversation in our annual Ethics in Film event. The film will be followed by a discussion on the ethics of end-of-life care and how we navigate healthcare policy when disagreements occur, led by an expert panel.

Reviews

‘The more intimate scenes are almost unbearably poignant…A downbeat subject, but a remarkably delicate and affecting picture – with some deeply impressive acting.’
★★★★

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road. We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We don’t show adverts, just a couple of trailers, so don't be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
