Here - Sunday 24th November 5pm

This week's film Here is not the new Tom Hanks film of the same name but a much better received film from Belgian director Bas Devos. 

"[This] gentle, delicate and quietly beguiling movie, a prize winner last year in Berlin, is about love and fate. It crept up on me at its own measured walking pace" - Peter Bradshaw, Guardian.

Radical - Sunday 17th November 5pm

Winner of the Festival Favourite Award at the Sundance Film Festival, Radical is based on a genuine teacher, Sergio Juarez Correa, a teacher in the northeastern Mexican border town of Matamoros, whose story, by Joshua Davis, appeared on the cover of 'Wired' in 2013 and inspired this film. The school in question was known as 'the school of punishment'; it was impoverished, dominated by drug gangs and corrupt officials, all of which Sergio took on as a test to try out a new method - student-led learning.

"Brought to life by an electrifying cast fronted by Derbez and an ensemble of young actors already at the top of their game, while 'Radical' might feel like familiar territory, it is energized with so much heart and compassion that it feels almost impossible not to fall for its myriad charms." -  Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, AWFJ

Kneecap - Sunday 10th November 5pm

Based very loosely around the real Irish group Kneecap (who play themselves here), this follows three guys who start rapping in Irish Gaelic after the Good Friday agreement, and manage to get popular, despite (or maybe because) they make just about everyone angry, from the Government, the IRA and an anti-drug coalition the Radical Republicans Against Drugs (RRAD)

"This is the kind of bold filmmaking that has the potential to keep cinema alive." -Maria Lattila, Film Stories

The Outrun - Sunday 3rd November 5pm

The Outrun starts in London where we meet Rona who is spiralling to the bottom of her alcoholic life, pushing her loving partner Daynin away on her way downwards. She decides to run for cover to the place of her youth, Orkney. Not out of the woods yet - her family there cause her more heartaches - but she gradually finds peace and tranquility in the remote and windswept Scottish Islands

Rona is played by Saoirse Ronan in another potentially award winning performance:

"When it comes to disappearing into emotionally and physically demanding roles, there are a few actors out there as gifted and committed" - Tomris Laffly, Harper's Bazaar.

La Chimera - Sunday 27th October 5pm

Another Members' Choice this week with La Chimera. Josh O'Connor, who can do no wrong, stars in 'his best performance to date'; Alice Rohrwacher directs her 'best film to date'. How good can it get? The critics loved it.

"Not just great, but expansive: it shows new ways a movie can be." - Esmé Holden, Little White Lies
