Didi15

Directed by Sean Wang | USA | 2024 | 1h 34m | Starring Izaac Wang, Joan Chen, Shirley Chen, Zhang Li Hua, Raul Dial

In the late summer of 2008 in California, a 13-year-old Taiwanese American boy discovers what his relatives can’t teach him: how to skate, how to flirt, and how to cherish his family. Winner of the Audience Award at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, Sean Wang’s touching semi-autobiographical film captures the joy and chaos of being a first-generation teenager.

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!
