American Odysseys

To mark the release of Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of Homer’s The Odyssey, we’ve assembled a season of films that take to the road and aim to find, somewhere along it, the contours of the American soul. From the Kansas plains to the Pacific coast, from the antebellum South to the mythic West, these are journeys undertaken for every reason: to go home, to escape home, to recover the dead, to understand the living. What unites them is the conviction that the journey is never only about the destination.

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!
