Fairyland15
Set against the vibrant cultural landscape of San Francisco in the 1970s and 1980s, this moving drama traces the evolving relationship between a father and daughter through years shaped by bohemian excess and profound social change. As the optimism of the era gives way to the devastating impact of the AIDS crisis, their bond is tested by loss and the realities of growing up within an unconventional family. Adapted from Fairyland: A Memoir of My Father by Alysia Abbott, the film is a tender and deeply personal coming-of-age story about love and resilience.
Reviews
‘This is an honest, real movie about people living big lives during tumultuous times, and coming through it damaged but wiser.’
★★★★
Matt Zoller Seitz, RogerEbert.com
‘This moving film’s sense of hometown pride is subtle but apt.’
Glenn Kelly, The New York Times

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!
