Open Weekend

Come and join in at The Riverfront’s Summer Open Weekend……..

The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe (PG)

Beautifully bringing to life C.S. Lewis’ well-loved book, this is the story of how four children first discover the magical world of Narnia.

Oliver Twist (PG)

Dickens’ vision of the horrors of Victorian slum life is perfectly balanced by superb performances and Lean’s fierce grip on the sprawling narrative.

The Passionate Friends [new print] (PG)

One of the least known films in Lean’s distinguished canon, this absorbing love story is a fascinating companion piece to Brief Encounter.

Joy Division (15)

This is not your usual cut-and-paste rock-doc but a visionary piece of filmmaking that charts the rise of England’s most influential post-punk band

Cassandra’s Dream (12A)

Woody Allen’s third London-set movie (though the second still awaits a UK release) stars Ewan McGregor and Colin Farrell as mismatched brothers on the lookout for money-making opportunities.

Peter Pan (U)

More classic Disney animation — the adventures of the boy who never grew up, in a land of crocodiles, Native Americans — and pirates!

Madeleine (U)

Set in Victorian Glasgow, Ann Todd (Lean’s then wife) plays a young woman who rebels against her overbearing father and falls for a penniless, exploitative French aristocrat who later dies of arsenic poisoning.

One-Man Star Wars™ Trilogy

Charles Ross single-handedly plays all the characters, sings the music, flies the ships, fights the battles and condenses the plots into just sixty minutes!

A Complete History of My Sexual Failures (18)

One man’s struggle with women. All women. What is it that persistently comes between filmmaker Chris Waitt and romantic bliss?
