‘Ben Hania takes the building blocks of filmmaking and constructs from them something cathartic, affecting and original.’

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!
