THE AERONAUTS
Thursday 16 January 2020 at 2.30pm (Subtitled) and 7.30pm

Felicity Jones, Eddie Redmayne, Himesh Patel

In 1862, daredevil balloon pilot Amelia Wren (Felicity Jones) teams up with pioneering meteorologist James Glaisher (Eddie Redmayne) to advance human knowledge of the weather and fly higher than anyone in history. While breaking records and advancing scientific discovery, their voyage to the very edge of existence helps the unlikely pair find their place in the world they have left far below them.

ON THE BASIS OF SEX (12A) – 2018 USA 120 mins

The 2.30pm screening is subtitled for people with hearing loss

Director: Mimi Leder
Stars: Felicity Jones, Armie Hammer, Justin Theroux, Kathy Bates

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has become an iconic figure, using formidable legal arguments to enshrine the rights of women and minority groups, with inspirational wit, style and charisma. In Leder’s dramatic retelling, Jones channels the balance of resilience, idealism and pragmatism that saw Ginsburg progress through a hostile Harvard Law School – where she both met her husband Marty (Hammer) and nursed him through illness – to secure groundbreaking legal reform in her first major case and change American public life forever.

“On the Basis of Sex” does a brisk, coherent job of articulating what Ginsburg accomplished and why it mattered” – A.O. Scott, The New York Times

Bullied at school and with little sympathy from his brusque, icy grandmother (Sigourney Weaver), Conor relies on his imagination to survive, confessing his deepest fears to the tree-shaped monster he has sketched in his notepad.

 

 

His torment mysteriously awakens an unlikely ally in the ancient yew tree, just beyond his bedroom window.

As Conor, MacDougall is remarkable in his first leading role, while Neeson delivers compelling vocal and motion capture performances as the monster.
