Mother's Instinct (PG) - Fri 5 – Thu 11 April (excl. Mon & Tue). See website for times.

Starring Academy Award winners Jessica Chastain and Anne Hathaway, Mothers' Instinct is an unnerving psychological thriller about two best friends and neighbours, Alice and Celine, whose perfect lives in '60s suburbia are shattered by a tragic accident involving one of their children.

Marking the directorial debut of acclaimed cinematographer Benoit Delhomme, we follow Alice and Celine as their familial bonds are gradually undermined by guilt and paranoia and a gripping battle of wills develops, revealing the darker side of maternal love.

Special Event Cinema:

French Impressions – Red Island (12A) - Sat 6 April, 1pm (Talk) 2.30pm (Film)

At the beginning of the 70s, in Madagascar, a few armed forces and their families live in one of the last French military bases abroad, a relic of the ending French colonial empire.

A very personal story of family life in Madagascar seen through the eyes of adults, but just as acutely the children, as colonial French rule comes to an end.

French cinema expert, Jon Davies will look at films set in the French colonies reflecting that history.  

Royal Opera House Live: MacMillan Celebrated (12A, Cert TBC) - Sat 30 March, 2pm 

Danses Concertantes, was MacMillan's first major work. An early sign of the incredible artistic output that would follow.

It is accompanied by Different Drummer, MacMillan's complex and haunting balletic interpretation of Woyzeck, Georg Büchner's play about a soldier's descent into madness.

The mixed programme concludes with Requiem, his 1976 work for Stuttgart Ballet, created in memory of its late artistic director. 

Easter Family Cinema: 

Robot Dreams (PG) - Fri 5 - Thu 11 April (excl. Sun, Mon & Tue). See website for dates and times.

Nominated for Best Animated Film at this year's Academy Awards, bittersweet buddy comedy, Robot Dreams follows Dog, who is lonely, whiling away long evenings in his Manhattan studio apartment.

Tired of his solitary life, he decides to purchase a friend, Robot, a fun-loving companion. After an idyllic day on the beach, they soon become separated.

Devastated at the loss of his friend, Dog does everything in his power to get Robot back.
