Reviews

‘A story of love and discovery told with curiosity and care, Dosa honours her unique subjects — lending tenderness and poetry to the archive footage.’
★★★★
Ella Kemp, Empire Magazine

‘The way this lyrical documentary, operating in the intersection between science and poetry, tells it, the danger of the eruptions was part of the attraction.’
★★★★
Wendy Ide, The Observer

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!
