From acclaimed director Alexander Payne (Sideways), Paul Giamatti plays a history teacher at a prestigious American school, who is forced to remain on campus during Christmas break to babysit the handful of students with nowhere to go.

Eventually he forms an unlikely bond with one of them and with the school’s head cook, who has just lost a son in Vietnam.

Winner of two Golden Globe Awards and with seven BAFTA and five Academy nominations. 

One Life (12A) - Fri 2 - Thu 8 February (excl. Mon and Tue). See website for times. 

One Life tells the true story of Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton, a young London broker who, along with Trevor Chadwick and Doreen Warinner of the British Committee for Refugees in Czechoslovakia, rescued 669 children from the Nazis in the months leading up to World War II. 

Fifty years later, it’s 1988 and Nicky (played by Anthony Hopkins) lives haunted by the fate of the children he wasn’t able to bring to safety in England; always blaming himself for not doing more.  

The Boy and the Heron (12A) - Fri 2 - Thu 8 February (excl. Mon and Tue). See website for times. 

The new masterpiece from director Hayao Miyazaki. A young boy named Mahito yearning for his mother, ventures into a world shared by the living and the dead.

There, death comes to an end, and life finds a new beginning. Winner of the Golden Globe Award for Best Animation Feature with BAFTA and Academy Award nominations in the same category. 

Special Event Cinema:

Manon – ROH Live (cert 12A TBC) 

The Royal Ballet - Wed 7 February, 7.15pm 

Torn between her desire of a life of splendour and riches and her devotion to her true love Des Grieux, the feckless and capricious Manon pays the ultimate price.

This adaptation of Abbé Prévost’s novel embodies Kenneth MacMillan at his best, his acute insight into human psychology and his mastery of narrative choreography finding full expression in the impassioned duets of the central couple. 

In the gallery see the latest new media exhibition:

Tenderly Towards the Tipping Point - Until Sun 14 Jan (Excl. Mon & Tues), FREE - Kaushal Sapre, Mohit Shelare, Sonam Chaturvedi, Aasma Tulika, Bazik Thlana.

How can an exhibition occupy time? Watermans presents a group of leading contemporary artists from India with a radical approach to the use of a wide variety of media in their art.

Tenderly Towards the Tipping Point brings together a multitude of artistic responses to time and the imposition of time.
