Supersonic is the word that truly sums up the phenomenal journey that took Oasis from releasing their first single in 1994, to record-breaking sell-out shows at Knebworth Park in 1996, where 2.6 million people applied for tickets. The band played to 125,000 fans per night – they could have played 20 nights. From award-winning filmmaker Mat Whitecross and Academy Award-winning producer James Gay Rees (Amy), alongside Fiona Neilson, Simon Halfon and Academy Award-winning executive producer Asif Kapadia, Supersonic documents the band's journey from the moment when Noel Gallagher joined his brother Liam's band – the two boys who shared a bedroom growing up, were now sharing a stage. From the release of 'Definitely Maybe' – which at that moment became the fastest-selling debut of all time – it was then less than two years before they played their historic shows at Knebworth Park. The details of the Livestream Q&A after the film are yet to be confirmed but it is expected that at least one of the Gallaghers will be participating.

UK/USA and others / 2016 / 98mins / Cert 12A Tom Hanks stars as Alan Clay; a businessman who having lost his marriage, house and fancy life style travels to Saudi Arabia in a last ditch attempt to save his failing business. Based on the bestselling novel by Dave Eggers, this fish out of water tale charts Clay's misadventures as he navigates indefinite delays, innumerable laws and customs of a foreign land in this Kafkaesque and at times surreal comedy drama. "There's a brash, wayward vigour about this film, and it features one of Hanks' best performances in a long time." The Big Issue | |  | In Focus: Innocence Of Memories (12A)

Or call the box Office: 01691 238167 We continue our second season of In Focus screenings with this stunning travelogue around Istanbul. Writing, memory and architecture flow together in this sensual nocturnal wandering through the streets of Istanbul, which becomes a vibrant archive of life lived. Acclaimed documentary filmmaker Grant Gee (Joy Division, Meeting People is Easy, Patience (After Sebald)) takes his cue from Nobel Prize-winning Turkish author Orhan Pamuk's 2008 novel The Museum of Innocence. In Pamuk's vision a museum is opened in Istanbul, a museum that's a fiction: its objects trace a tale of doomed love in the 1970s city between Kemal, heir to a wealthy fortune, and Fusun, a beautiful shop girl with whom he has a romantic affair days before his engagement to someone else. When Fusun disappears Kemal is unable to forget her and takes solace in everything she ever touched, from toothbrushes to cologne - items that go on display at The Museum of Innocence. In another literary travelogue following Patience (After Sebald), Gee's tour is the starting point for a trip through love stories, landscapes and the unique soul of Istanbul. "British film-maker Grant Gee has got together with Turkey's Nobel prize-winning novelist, and the result is a mesmerising, original meditation on love and the city" **** Andrew Pulver - The Guardian Director: Grant Gee UK 2015 Run time: 90 mins | |  | Chevalier (18)

Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 A hilariously deadpan Greek comedy in which six men vie for superiority in a series of tests. On a luxury yacht in the middle of the Aegean sea, six bored, mostly middle-aged men decide to play a game. In order to determine who is "the best in general", they agree to put themselves through a number of challenges. These range from straightforward cleaning contests and an IKEA flatpack assembly race to more intimate measurements of manliness. The winner will be awarded a Chevalier signet ring. As this testosterone-driven competition develops, tensions arise and cracks begin to appear in their macho facades. Athina Rachel Tsangari, who directed the memorably bizarre 'Attenberg', brings a deliciously satirical female perspective to this portrait of male rivalry, vanity and insecurity. She co-wrote the script with Efthymis Filippou - a regular collaborator with Yorgos Lanthimos, who gave us those classics of surreal modern Greek cinema 'Dogtooth' and 'The Lobster'. "Don't be surprised if you find yourself suddenly thinking about Chevalier at random moments over the hours, days and years to come." Kate Taylor BFI Winner of The Best Film at the London Film Festival 2015 Director: Athina Rachel Tsangari Cast: Panos Koronis, Efthymis Papadimitriou, Giorgos Pyrpassopoulos, Sakis Rouvas, Vangelis Mourikis, Giannis Drakopoulos Greek with English subtitles Run time: 105 mins This film is supported by the BFI FAN New Release Scheme | |  | Hell Or High Water (15)

Toby (Chris Pine, Star Trek) is a divorced father who only wants a better life for his kids. With both him and his ex-convict brother, Tanner (Ben Foster, 3:10 to Yuma) facing the foreclosure of their mother's West Texas farm, they decide to take justice into their own hands by robbing the bank they believe robbed them. But after the robbery they find they have two West Texas rangers (Gil Birmingham and Jeff Bridges) on their trail... This modern Western is directed by British director David Mackenzie (Starred Up) and has been lovebombed by American critics. Variety called it "a thrillingly good movie – a crackerjack drama of crime, fear, and brotherly love set in a sun-roasted, deceptively sleepy West Texas that feels completely exotic for being so authentic," while The Playlist described it as "if No Country for Old Men were remade as a heist movie." "Jeff Bridges shares top billing with the Texas landscape in a heist thriller shot through with acidic humour" **** The Guardian Director: David Mackenzie Cast: Jeff Bridges, Chris Pine, Ben Foster, Gil Birmingham Run time: 102 mins | |  | Arts Alive Present: Box Tale Soup - A Midsummer Night's Dream (6+)

Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 This screening will be followed by a live satellite Q&A with Louis Theroux. Louis Theroux's first theatrical feature documentary, from the Oscar TM winning producer of Searching for Sugarman and Man on Wire, sees the renowned filmmaker delve into the world of Scientology, one of the worlds most mysterious and powerful religions, in what he regards as 'the Holy Grail of Stories'. With a lifetime of experience dealing with eccentric, unpalatable and unexpected human behaviour, the unassuming Theroux won't take no for an answer when his request to enter the Church of Scientology headquarters is turned down. Inspired by the Church's alleged techniques, and aided by former Scientology members-turned-whistleblowers, Theroux uses actors to recreate incidents people claim to have experienced as members in an attempt to better understand the way it operates. However, in a bizarre twist, it becomes clear that Louis is not the only one making a documentary… Suffused with a good dose of humour and moments worthy of a Hollywood script, My Scientology Movie is as outlandish as it is revealing.

At the end of the 1970s, Gary Numan found himself to be one of the world's biggest-selling artists, Are 'Friends' Electric? and Cars were huge hits, no-one had heard, or seen, anyone like him. Asperger's syndrome helped forge Numan's ambition, his music and image, but it brought problems. At a time when the public knew little about the condition, the press labeled him a freak, one paper suggested his parents should have been doctored for giving birth to him. Depression, near bankruptcy and a period in the wilderness followed. Then Numan fell in love with his biggest fan, and married her… "A portrait of an intelligent, idiosyncratic and really rather admirable musical personality." **** The Guardian "Honest and intriguing and one for music lovers across the genres." *** The Hollywood News Directors: Steve Read, Rob Alexander Featuring: Gary Numan UK 2016 Run time: 85 mins | | | | RSC Live: King Lear (12A)

Or call the box Office: 01691 238167 Cillian Murphy and Jamie Dornan star in a gripping true-life WWII espionage thriller. In 1942, the Allies launch the bold and daring Operation Anthropoid in occupied Czechoslovakia. Josef Gabcik (Cillian Murphy) and Jan Kubis (Jamie Dornan) are among seven men parachuted behind enemy lines on a mission to assassinate Reinhard Heydrich. Infamous as the 'Butcher of Prague', Heydrich is one of the chief architects of the Holocaust and third in command in the Nazi hierarchy after Hitler and Himmler. The duo join forces with the depleted local resistance led by Jan Zelenka-Hajsky (Toby Jones) and set about planning this seemingly impossible task in a city under lockdown. This thrilling and powerful drama is based on an extraordinary, little-known true story that changed the course of WWII in Europe. Sean Ellis, the British writer/director of 'Cashback', avoids gung-ho heroics as he builds tension towards a historically authentic, bullet-ridden climax that will linger long in the memory. "It takes Sean Ellis's World War II thriller "Anthropoid" a while to build steam, but once it does, hang on."

In the 1930s, Bronx-born Bobby Dorfman (Jesse Eisenberg) is lured by the glamour of Hollywood. His name-dropping bigshot movie star agent uncle Phil (Steve Carell) sets up the gauche young man with a low-level job and assigns secretary Vonnie (Kristen Stewart) to show him around. Bobby soon falls for Vonnie, but she cools his ardour by telling him that she already has a boyfriend. Back in New York, broken-hearted Bobby is put in charge of a swanky nightclub by his ruthless gangster brother Ben (Corey Stoll). But fate still has another twist in store for him.
Woody Allen's bittersweet, warmly nostalgic Hollywood golden age comedy is beautifully photographed by the great Italian cinematographer Vitrorio Storaro. Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart contribute poignant and funny performances to this handsomely staged film that sees the veteran director with a real spring in his step. "Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart give excellent performances as an on-the-make New Yorker and the woman he falls in love with in Allen's likable romance" *** The Guardian "Café Society is also one of the richest and most poignant of Allen's late movies; fans will relish it and enjoy the many echoes of the director's earlier movies." **** The Independent Director:Woody Allen Cast:Jesse Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart, Steve Carell, Blake Lively, Parker Posey, Jeannie Berlin, Corey Stoll, Ken Stott Run time: 96 mins | |  | Just Jim (15)

Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 Viggo Mortensen stars in an enthralling, award-winning drama about a father who raises his children in isolation. Idealistic counter-culturalists Ben (Viggo Mortensent) and Leslie (Trin Miller) have raised their six children off-grid, as far from civilisation as they can get. In the wilds of the Pacific Northwest, the brood learn survival skills and explore radical politics in the absence of computers and television. But their lives change dramatically in the wake of a family tragedy. Embarking on the long journey to New Mexico for a funeral, Ben and his kids are forced to engage with the wider world for the first time. Matt Ross's provocative, moving, non-judgemental and often very funny Cannes Festival award-winning culture shock drama raises important questions about parenthood.

Graham Greene's original screenplay is an astonishing tale of friendship, mystery and deception. American author Holly Martins (Joseph Cotton) arrives in post-WWII Vienna to learn that his friend Harry Lime (Orson Welles) has recently been killed. After conversations with some of Lime's associates in the city however, he grows increasingly suspicious. Martins embarks on a mission to uncover the truth surrounding Lime's demise, being dragged through ever-murkier waters toward a conclusion that he could have never foreseen. Beautifully shot, scripted and scored, The Third Man is an intensely gripping thriller that the BFI rated as the best British film of the twentieth century.

But when she gives them permission to camp on a remote island, the quartet find themselves at the centre of a fantastic summer adventure.

Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 The fortysomething Bridget Jones (Renée Zellweger) had it all worked out: a comfortable job as a top news producer and married to the wonderful Mark Darcy (Colin Firth). However, her 'happily ever after' is short-lived. Following a break-up with her beloved Mark, Bridget finds herself living the single life once again. But she's been here before – Bridget knows how to be single better than any other, and plans to surround herself with friends both old and new, while focusing on her career. Feeling in control of her life once again and coping with the break-up, what could possibly go wrong? A baby. That's what. But whose is it? Could it belong to long-time lover, Mark, or newcomer, Jack Qwant (Patrick Dempsey)? Even Bridget's not sure… In fact, neither the cast nor the audience can be certain, with three separate endings being filmed and the true version only set to be revealed at the premiere. Zellweger (Monsters vs. Aliens) and Firth (The King's Speech) reprise their roles as Bridget Jones and Mark Darcy, while the film welcomes back a host of actors from the original 2001 adaptation of Helen Fielding's novel, including Jim Broadbent (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) as Bridget's Dad. Grey's Anatomy's Patrick Dempsey also joins the cast as love interest Jack Qwant. Director: Sharon Maguire Cast: Colin Firth, Renee Zellweger Run time: 121 mins *** The screening on Monday 31st October will be subtitled for the Hard Of Hearing.
