Last Swim15

Directed by Sasha Nathwani | UK | 2025 | 1h 36m | Starring Deba Hekmat, Denzel Baidoo, Lydia Fleming, Solly McLeod, Jay Lycurgo

On a scorching A-Level results day in London, bright British-Iranian teen Ziba takes her friends on a whirlwind adventure across the city, leading up to a rare astronomical event. Amid the celebrations, she fights to hold onto her usual optimism while grappling with secrets she’s kept from those closest to her. Sasha Nathwani’s bold and free-spirited debut perfectly captures the restless energy of a group standing at the edge of adulthood.

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 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!
