What We Do In The Shadows15

Directed by Jemaine Clement & Taika Waititi | New Zealand | 2014 | 1h 25m | Starring Jemaine Clement, Taika Waititi, Rhys Darby, Jonny Brugh, Ben Fransham

Four vampires, one flat, and absolutely no idea how to work a washing machine. This razor-sharp mockumentary follows Wellington’s least competent creatures of the night as they navigate the very modern headaches of flatmate squabbles, nightclub bouncers, and the eternal question of whose turn it is to do the dishes. Things get complicated when flatmate Peter bites local hipster Nick and recruits him into the undead, leaving the group to shepherd a brand-new vampire through eternity, one awkward night at a time.

Our screening on Sunday 12th July will be introduced by award winning comedian Caitriona Dowden.

This screening is presented in partnership with The Oxford Festival Fringe Preview Comedy Festival – a month-long comedy festival happening throughout July created and curated by QED Comedy Lab.

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!
