The Christophers
Wednesday, 16th September at 7.30pm
Doors open at 7pm
A mainstay of the London art scene since his starry breakout in the creative explosion of the 1960’s, Julian Sklar (Ian McKellen) has drifted into a cluttered, self-imposed seclusion. His two estranged children enlist Lori (Michaela Coel), a young painter and sometime-forger, to pose as a prospective assistant and gain access to a fabled series of unfinished canvases Julian has buried deep in his home studio, in a deceptive bid to secure an inheritance for themselves.

My Mother's Wedding
16th December
My Mother’s Wedding follows three very different sisters reuniting in the English countryside for their twice-widowed mother’s third wedding, forcing them to confront family dynamics, unresolved grief, and personal insecurities amid colorful guests.
Kristin Scott Thomas’s directorial debut draws on her own life, offering heartfelt performances and rich scenery, though critics note uneven pacing and too many subplots. It’s a gentle, engaging watch for fans of warm, ensemble family dramas.
Except for National Theatre Live, all films are supplied by Moviola Ltd. which is a registered charity.
