The Velvet Queen12A
High up on the Tibetan plateau amongst unexplored and inaccessible valleys lies one of the last sanctuaries of the wild world. One of the world’s most renowned photographers, Vincent Munier and writer Sylvain Tesson explore these valleys hoping to spot one of the rarest and most difficult big cats to record, the snow leopard. A breathtakingly beautiful documentary featuring an original score composed by musicians Warren Ellis and Nick Cave.
Reviews
‘Gorgeous, humbling, looking out-, up- and inward, the documentary is the rare nature film about not only beauty and beasts but also the very human urge to make sense of our place in it all.’
Robert Abele, The LA Times

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!
