Sanatorium15

Directed by Gar O’Rourke | France/Ukraine | 2025 | 1h 31m | Ukrainian with English subtitles

At a crumbling Soviet-era health resort near Odesa, visitors pursue wellness through unconventional treatments, from ‘black gold’ mud baths to electric therapy. Their fragile peace is soon broken by air raid sirens and smoke rising from nearby Russian attacks. Gar O’Rourke’s documentary offers a compassionate and thoughtful portrait of Ukrainians striving to preserve their freedom amid war.

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!
