Love Actually15

Everywhere you turn, love is causing trouble. From the newly appointed bachelor Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, who falls for the tea-delivery girl on his very first day at 10 Downing Street, to a hapless delivery guy who, believing he has no luck with women in the UK, ventures to Wisconsin in search of romance. From aging rock stars to a stern headmistress and a Portuguese housemaid who speaks no English, love takes on countless forms, shapes, and sizes. These ten distinct yet interwoven stories all build to a grand crescendo on Christmas Eve, proving that love is the common thread driving each of their lives.

One-off screening of this festive classic presented by the Oxford University Filmmaking Foundation (OUFF).

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!
