When the Light Breaks15
As dawn breaks on a long summer’s day, young art student Una wakes with her heart full of love. But by sunset, everything has changed. What happens in between shatters her world and forces her to find the strength to hold herself together. Shot on luminous 16mm film, writer-director Rúnar Rúnarsson crafts a poignant and visually arresting elegy to love and loss.

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!
