Bird15

Directed by Andrea Arnold | UK | 2024 | 1h 59m | Starring Nykiya Adams, Franz Rogowski, Barry Keoghan, Jasmine Jobson, James Nelson-Joyce

Teenager Bailey lives with her loving but chaotic single dad and wayward brother in a squat in Gravesend, North Kent. Craving attention and adventure, Bailey’s turbulent home life takes a turn when she meets a mysterious stranger on his own journey. In her return to fiction filmmaking, Oscar-winner Andrea Arnold (American Honey, Fish Tank) crafts a tender coming-of-age story that blends the magical with gritty social realism, starring Franz Rogowski and Barry Keoghan.

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 only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
