Jackie (15) | Saturday 4th March February | 7pm
A portrait of one of the most important and tragic moments in American history, seen through the eyes of the iconic First Lady, then Jacqueline Kennedy. Known for her extraordinary dignity and poise, here we see the First Lady (Natalie Portman) as she fights to establish her husband’s legacy and the world of ‘Camelot’ that she created and loved so well.
Animal Farm (U) | Thursday 9th March | 7pm
If you successfully delude the masses into believing that a perfect society is just around the corner, the masses will redouble their efforts to achieve it while conveniently turning a blind eye to the excesses of the ruling elite. If the style has dated somewhat, the content certainly hasn’t.

Hacksaw Ridge is the extraordinary true story of army medic Desmond Doss whom, in Okinawa during the bloodiest battle of WWII, saved 75 men without firing or carrying a gun.
