In a desperate effort to save the troops, more than 800 boats – from military ships to tiny civilian fishing boats – came to help with the evacuation that would become known as the Miracle of Dunkirk.  This dramatic depiction of the Dunkirk evacuation is helmed by Christopher Nolan, who has wowed audiences with Interstellar and the Dark Knight Trilogy, where he resurrected Batman for a new generation. Starring Tom Hardy as Farrier, One Direction's Harry Styles as Alex, and a host of other Hollywood A-listers– including Kenneth Branagh and Mark Rylance – Dunkirk promises to be the blockbuster of summer 2017.   Director: Christopher Nolan USA 2017 Cast: Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Mark Rylance, Kenneth Branagh, Aneurin Barnard, Harry Styles, James D'Arcy, Jack Lowden, Barry Keoghan, Tom Glynn-Carney Run time: 150 mins     The Hippopotamus (15) Oswestry Film Society Screening Tuesday 5th September 7:30pm Tickets: £6.00 Adult/£4.00 Under 16's *** Please note that tickets for Oswestry Film Society screenings cannot be booked through kinokulture.

The first Stephen Fry novel to be adapted to the big screen, this hilarious British comedy stars Olivier Award winner Roger Allam as washed-up, cantankerous poet Ted Wallace. Recently fired from his job as a newspaper critic, Wallace leaps at the chance to retreat to his old friend's country estate, where a series of unexplained miraculous healings have taken place. Ever the cynic, Wallace sets out to prove the 'miracles' as a hoax and save the supposed miracle worker, his godson David, from shameful embarrassment. "It's…a pleasure, and often a joy, to watch the star measuring out and savouring Fry's rich wordplay like fingers of scotch." The Guardian UK / 2017 / 89mins   In Focus: David Lynch - The  Art Of Life (15) Wednesday 6th September 7:30pm Tickets: £7.00 adult/£5.00 Under 16's Book online: www.ticketsource.co.uk/event/192882 Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 An exquisitely textured and reflective documentary about David Lynch's life as a visual artist, narrated by the idiosyncratic filmmaker.   Getting up close and personal with David Lynch as a visual artist. That's what this exquisitely textured and reflective documentary offers. Narrated by the man himself, speaking into a lovely vintage microphone from his painting studio in the hills above Hollywood, he takes us on an intimate journey through his youth. He talks about his childhood in a small-town America, his family, the awkward teenage years, his anxieties and fears. Life in general really, along with the people who helped him become who he is. Lynch recounts the influence his youth had on him as an artist and his subsequent move into filmmaking. Combining home movies, stock footage, moody artworks and observations of him working on his paintings and sculptures, David Lynch: The Art Life is both an immersive and compelling experience. He's an entrancing storyteller, delivering a few juicy anecdotes. And the soundtrack, as you'd expect, is deliciously strange, dark and beautiful. Laure Bonville - BFI "Narrated by the man himself, this intimate documentary about the left-field filmmaker is insightful, absorbing and wonderfully weird." **** Time Out   Directors: Jon Nguyen, Rick Barnes, Olivia Neergaard-Holm USA/Denmark 2016 Run time: 93 mins "This project is supported by Film Hub North West Central, proud to be a member of the BFI Film Audience Network"   John Le Carre - An Evening With George Smiley Thursday 7th September  7:45pm Tickets: 12.00 Adult/£10.00 Under 16's Book online: www.ticketsource.co.uk/event/184631 Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 Broadcast live from London's Royal Festival Hall, join us for a unique celebration of John le Carré's work as he discusses the full breadth of his career, and reflects on the continuing story of his most famous creation, the tubby, bespectacled spy, George Smiley.

A rare opportunity for audiences to see this exceptional work again on the big screen.   Pride and Prejudice: 'One of the most delightful and heartwarming adaptations made from Austen or anybody else.' Roger Ebert 'A sumptuous screen adaptation of Jane Austen's 1813 novel that gathers you up on its white horse and gallops off into the sunset.' New York Times   Joe Wright's debut marks the first in a series of collaborations that would cement the star power of leading lady, Keira Knightley (Atonement, Anna Karenina). Wright's loose interpretation of Austen's classic brings an energy that should win over even the most loyal fans of the 1995 BBC miniseries. The classic tale of love and values unfolds in the class-conscious England of the late 18th century. The five Bennet sisters - including strong-willed Elizabeth (Knightley) - have all been raised by their mother with one purpose in life: finding a husband. When a wealthy bachelor, Mr Bingley and his friend Mr Darcy (Matthew MacFayden) arrive in the neighbourhood, opportunities for love and marriage arise.  Knightley 'gives a performance of beauty, delicacy, spirit and wit...her star quality will quite simply roll over you like a tank.'

Kedi explores the daily lives of seven street cats, each with their own distinct personality, and their connection to the city and people of Istanbul. Following the feline population, this remarkable film captures their unique experience through cat's-eye-view cinematography with joyous and captivating results. "Even a cat-skeptic can't help but swoon and laugh at these tender creatures and their human companions. This is the film the world needs right now." **** Little White Lies   Director: Ceyda Torun Turkey 2017 Run time: 79 mins David Gilmore Live at Pompeii (12A) Wednesday 13th 7:30pm Tickets: £10.00 Adult/£8.00 Under 16's Book online: www.ticketsource.co.uk/event/187624 Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 The legendary guitar and voice of Pink Floyd 45 years after Pink Floyd's David Gilmour filmed 'Live At Pompeii' in the legendary Roman Amphitheatre there, he returned for two spectacular shows, part of his year-long tour in support of his No.1 album 'Rattle That Lock'. The performances were the first-ever rock concerts for an audience in the stone Roman amphitheatre, and, for two nights only, the 2,600 strong crowd stood exactly where gladiators would have fought in the first century AD.   'David Gilmour Live At Pompeii' is an audio-visual spectacle, featuring lasers, pyrotechnics and a huge circular screen on which specially-created films complement selected songs, but paramount above all is the astonishing music and stellar performances from an all-star band. The show includes songs from throughout David's career, as well as many Pink Floyd classics, including 'One Of These Days', the only song that was also performed at the band's 1971 show. Both concerts also saw very special performances of 'The Great Gig In The Sky' from 'The Dark Side Of The Moon', which David rarely plays as a solo artist. This concert performance film includes highlights from both shows, filmed in 4k by director Gavin Elder . 'David Gilmour Live At Pompeii' shows an artist at the top of his artistic game, performing incredible material with his world-class band, in a unique setting, on one very special occasion.   Songs include the title tracks of his two most recent No. 1 solo albums: Rattle That Lock and On An Island, as well as other solo and Pink Floyd classics, including Wish You Were Here and Comfortably Numb. Run time: 2 hours (TBC) Doc Of The Month: Water And Sugar: Carlo Di Palma (PG) Thursday 14th September 7:30pm Tickets: £7.00 Adult/£5.00 Under 16's Book online:www.ticketsource.co.uk/event/194305 Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 A galaxy of cinema luminaries — from Ken Loach and Ettore Scola to Wim Wenders and Bernardo Bertolucci — pay tribute to the great Italian cinematographer Carlo di Palma, in this loving documentary that chronicles di Palma's extraordinary work for such directors as Elio Petri, Michelangelo Antonioni, and Woody Allen.   Directors and actors receive all the attention, but one of the key collaborators when making a film is the person behind the camera: the director of photography, or cinematographer. Over the history of cinema there have been some extraordinary cinematographers: Eduard Tisse, Gregg Toland, Gordon Willis, Sven Nykvist, Raoul Coutard, Kazuo Miyagawa, to name a few. Pre-eminent amongst these names is that of Carlo Di Palma. But, as this finely crafted tribute to Di Palma shows, his life and career ran even deeper than the extraordinary contributions he made to classics by Michelangelo Antonioni and Woody Allen. A child, so to speak, of the Second World War, Di Palma emerged from Rome's rubble as a 20-year-old in 1945, and found himself in the magical moment of Italian neorealist cinema. His father was a camera operator; his mother sold flowers on the Spanish Steps, which, in his own estimation, gave him a natural sense of colour. He cut his teeth as an assistant on some of the greatest films in cinema history: Visconti's Obsession, Rossellini's Rome, Open City and Paisan, De Sica's Shoeshineand Bicycle Thieves. Given a camera by De Sica, Di Palma took to it with full responsibility. His eye for black-and-white film was masterful, but it was his innovations in colour with Antonioni's Red Desert and Blow-Up, in the mid-1960s, that set him apart as a genius of the medium. In this loving documentary produced by Di Palma's long-time companion and wife, Adriana Chiesa, director Fariborz Kamkari threads together stunning excerpts from the films, and interviews a galaxy of luminaries, from Ken Loach and Ettore Scola to Wim Wenders and Bernardo Bertolucci. The result is a glorious celebration of a humanist and an engaged artist of uncommon talent.

The crown jewel of Her Majesty's Secret Intelligence Service, Agent Lorraine Broughton (Theron) is equal parts spycraft, sensuality and savagery, willing to deploy any of her skills to stay alive on her impossible mission.  Sent alone into Berlin to deliver a priceless dossier out of the destabilized city, she partners with embedded station chief David Percival (James McAvoy) to navigate her way through the deadliest game of spies. Atomic Blonde is a blistering blend of sleek action, gritty sexuality, and dazzling style. "Without a doubt one of the greatest action stars of today, Atomic Blonde offers a spectacular platform for Charlize Theron's skills." **** Independent   "sexy and stylish and shot by filmmakers who actually value action. It's cool without being too cool. David Leitch is going to be making action movies for a long time…and hopefully Charlize Theron will star in a few more of them." 8 out of 10 SlashFilm   Director: David Leitch Cast: Charlize Theron, James McAvoy, John Goodman, Til Schweiger, Eddie Marsan, Sofia Boutella, Toby Jones Run time: 115 mins The Zookeepers Wife (12A) Oswestry Film Society Screening Tuesday 19th September 7:30pm Tickets: £6.00 Adult/£4.00 Under 16's *** Please note that tickets for Oswestry Film Society screenings cannot be booked through kinokulture.

Tales of bravery and heroism during the Second World War never cease to amaze and inspire and this true story of Warsaw zookeepers Jan and Antonina Zabinski is no exception. In 1939 as the Nazis invaded and began their persecution of the Jewish population, the Zabinski's used the zoo to hide hundreds of Jews, putting themselves and their children in great danger. This gripping drama stars the ever talented Jessica Chastain (Zero Dark Thirty, Miss Sloane) as Antonina and Daniel Bruhl as the Reich's newly appointed chief zoologist, Lutz Heck. "An amazing story and movie that would not be believable if it were not based on true events." Huffington Post   Royal Opera House Live - The Magic Flute Wednesday 20th September 7:15pm Tickets: £15.00 Adult/£10.00 Under 16's Book online: www.ticketsource.co.uk/event/197734 Or call the box Office: 01691 238167 JULIA JONES CONDUCTS THE ROYAL OPERA'S SPELLBINDING PRODUCTION OF MOZART'S THE MAGIC FLUTE WITH A WONDERFUL CAST INCLUDING RODERICK WILLIAMS AS PAPAGENO   Mozart's glorious opera The Magic Flute is brought enchantingly to life in David McVicar's production with beautiful sets by John Macfarlane. Prince Tamino promises the Queen of the Night that he will rescue her daughter Pamina from the enchanter Sarastro. He begins his quest, accompanied by the bird-catcher Papageno – but all is not as it seems... David McVicar's classic production embraces both the seriousness and comedy of Mozart's work. The audience is transported to a fantastical world of dancing animals, flying machines and dazzlingly starry skies. The setting provides a wonderful backdrop for Mozart's kaleidoscopic score, from the Queen of the Night's coloratura fireworks to Tamino and Pamina's lyrical love duets and Papageno's hearty, folksong-like arias. As well as being a comedy The Magic Flute is an expression of Mozart's profound spiritual beliefs: Enlightenment concerns with the search for wisdom and virtue are at the heart of this enchanting tale. The Magic Flute was an instant success with audiences and Mozart's supposed rival Salieri described it as an 'operone' – a great opera.   MUSIC WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART LIBRETTO LORENZO DA PONTE DIRECTOR DAVID MCVICAR CONDUCTOR JULIA JONES TAMINO: MAURO PETER  PAMINA: SIOBHAN STAGG PAPAGENO: RODERICK WILLIAMS   APPROXIMATE RUNNING TIME: 3 HOURS 10 MINUTES, INCLUDING ONE INTERVAL  SUNG IN GERMAN WITH ENGLISH SURTITLES   BAFTA Debut: Red Road (18) Tickets: £7.00 Adult/£5.00 Under 16's Book online: www.ticketsource.co.uk/event/197350 Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 As part our British Cinema Season we are pleased to present a selection of films  which celebrate the work of British directors who have won the BAFTA Award for Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer. A rare opportunity for audiences to see this exceptional work again on the big screen.   Red Road:   'A talented, risk-taking filmmaker discovering her power.' New York Times Already an Oscar-winner for her short film work, Andrea Arnold began her feature filmmaking career with this unremittingly tense thriller set in the housing estates of Glasgow. As with her later work in Fish Tank, Wuthering Heights and American Honey, Arnold injects an authentic story of female isolation with striking visuals that breathe life into the familiar.  Hiding from life behind a bank of screens, CCTV operator Jackie (Kate Dickie) surveys the minutia of day to day life on the now demolished Red Road Flats in Glasgow. Emotionally numb after a traumatic loss, Jackie passes her time watching other people's lives flicker across her CCTV monitors.  Her own life seemingly on hold, nothing penetrates her state of inertia until, electrified, she spots Clyde (Tony Curran) who has recently been released from prison. Haunted by this figure from her past, whom Jackie believes has no right to freedom, she plots her revenge on him for a crime we only fully understand in the last minutes of the film.   With one of the most strikingly audacious sex scenes in recent cinema, for once told from a female perspective, Red Road pulls off the elusive task of telling a human story which manages to simultaneously be both uncompromising and heartbreakingly sensitive, while never lapsing into sentimentality.   Director: Andrea Arnold UK/Denmark 2006 Run time: 113 mins   "With the support of the BFI, awarding funds from The National Lottery, the Heritage Lottery Fund, Independent Cinema Office and Into Film."   "This project is supported by Film Hub North West Central, proud to be a member of the BFI Film Audience Network"    Maudie (12A) Friday 22nd September  7:30pm Saturday 23rd September  7:30pm Wednesday 27th September 1:30pm Tickets: £7.00 Adult/£5.00 Under 16's Book online: www.ticketsource.co.uk/event/197445 Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 Sally Hawkins and Ethan Hawke star in Aisling Walsh's hotly tipped drama, a biopic of Maud Lewis, who despite suffering from juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, became one of Canada's most celebrated outsider artists. Nova Scotia, 1937: Maud Dowley (Hawkins) is living with her unsympathetic aunt until she sees local fish peddler Everett Lewis's (Hawke) ad for a housekeeper and, two social outcasts together, they form a bond. But her artistic talents are still largely unrecognised by the wider world until a visitor arrives from New York and, seeing one of Maudie's paintings, commissions one: beginning Maudie's ascent to a career and a fame that would eventually see one of her artworks hanging in the White House.  Eliciting performances of tremendous complexity and physicality from her leads (especially Hawkins, who appears in nearly every scene and delivers a really exquisite character study) and enriched by gorgeous imagery of Nova Scotia's coastline by cinematographer Guy Godfree, Walsh's film is a profoundly inspiring story of a woman who transcended both her disability and the social mores of her time through her art, as well as a moving exploration of the human heart. "The only fireworks here are of the indoor kind, but this sensitive, beautifully acted film lingers long after the final frame. And the Newfoundland locations are breathtaking." **** Empire Magazine "Aisling Walsh knows how to balance the comedy and the pathos as she takes us through her subject's life and chronicles her unlikely emergence as an artist." **** Independent   Director: Aisling Walsh Ireland/Canada 2017 Cast: Sally Hawkins, Ethan Hawke Run time: 115 mins Exhibition On Screen - Canaletto And The Art Of Venice  Tuesday 22nd August  7:00pm Tickets: £12.00 Adult/£10.00 Under 16's Book online: www.ticketsource.co.uk/event/193276 Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 EXHIBITION ON SCREEN open its fifth season with Canaletto & the Art of Venice, an immersive journey into the life and art of Venice's famous view-painter. No artist better captures the essence and allure of Venice than Giovanni Antonio Canal, better known as Canaletto. Despite Canaletto's close relationship with the city in which he lived and died, the world's largest collection of his works resides not in his native Italy, but in Britain as part of the Royal Collection. In 1762, George III purchased almost the entire collection amassed by Joseph Smith, British Consul in Venice and Canaletto's principal agent. EXHIBITION ON SCREEN's latest release will grant unique access to the Royal Collection's exceptional holdings of Canaletto's work, much of which is on display as part of the exhibition Canaletto & the Art of Venice at The Queen's Gallery (19 May – 12 November). The remarkable group of over 200 paintings, drawings and prints on display offer unparalleled insight into the artistry of Canaletto and his contemporaries, and the city he became a master at capturing. The film also offers the chance to step inside two official royal residences – Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle – to learn more about the artist, and Joseph Smith, the man who introduced Canaletto to Britain. From London, Canaletto & the Art of Venice will travel to the great Italian city to explore the origins of Canaletto's art. Whilst appearing to be faithful representations of the city, Canaletto's skill came from his manipulation of reality. He moved buildings around or opened up vistas to create the perfect composition, and his paintings of Venice were highly sought after by Grand Tourists. His playful imagination extended into a new genre in which he excelled. The 'capriccio' combined real and fantasy architecture into imagined views. In this sense, Canaletto is more than a topographical artist – he is a master storyteller.   Cinema-goers will embark on their very own 21st century Grand Tour, visiting the sites enjoyed by their 18th century counterparts and immortalised in Canaletto's views – from the Rialto Bridge to the Piazza San Marco, and the Palazzo Ducale to the Church of Santi Giovanni e Paolo. Guided by Royal Collection Trust curators and the world's leading experts in Venetian history, the film is not only a wonderful way to see the exhibition, but an opportunity to get closer to Canaletto and the city that inspired him.   Run time: 85 mins   BAFTA Debut: The Warrior (15) Wednesday 27th September  7:30pm Tickets: £7.00 Adult/£5.00 Under 16's Book online: www.ticketsource.co.uk/event/197449 Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 As part our British Cinema Season we are pleased to present a selection of films  which celebrate the work of British directors who have won the BAFTA Award for Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer. A rare opportunity for audiences to see this exceptional work again on the big screen.   The Warrior:   'Breathtaking beauty.' Roger Ebert 'A terrifically confident piece of film-making, a movie which hits such an exhilarating stride from the outset it is difficult to credit that this is Kapadia's first full-length venture.' The Guardian   The Warrior is the debut of documentary master Asif Kapadia. Before Senna and the Oscar-winning Amy, there was this sumptuous epic starring Bollywood royalty Irffan Khan (who also starred in The Lunchbox and The Life of Pi). Gripped by a vision, Khan plays Lafcadia, a man torn between the path of peace and the path of war. From the deserts of Rajasthan to the snowy Himalayas, this is an astonishingly ambitious terrifically confident' (Guardian) debut feature that deserves to be discovered on the big screen in this new DCP transfer.  Lafcadia (Khan) is the leader of a group of warriors hired by a local lord to enforce his rule among the people. When he is ordered to punish a village that has failed to pay tribute, Lafcadia renounces his violent ways and sets off on a journey to the mountain village in which he was born. The lord then dispatches Biswas (Aino Annuddin), Lafcadia's second-in-command, to track-down the former warrior and punish his betrayal with death.   'Told with uncommon precision and depth.' New York Times   Director: Asif Kapadia UK/France/Germany/India 2001 Run time: 86 mins   "With the support of the BFI, awarding funds from The National Lottery, the Heritage Lottery Fund, Independent Cinema Office and Into Film."   "This project is supported by Film Hub North West Central, proud to be a member of the BFI Film Audience Network"    Afternoon Classics: The Seven Year Itch (PG) Thursday 28th September  1:30pm Tickets: £7.00 Adult/£5.00 Under 16's Book online: www.ticketsource.co.uk/event/197452 Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 While his wife is away, middle-aged New Yorker Tom Ewell finds his eye drawn to the single, blonde bombshell living upstairs.

On 4th February, 2017, the band took to the stage in Birmingham, the city where it all began, to play the 81st and final gig of The End tour - bringing down the curtain on a career that spanned almost half a century. The sold out show marked the culmination of a tour that had seen them play to well over a million fans in arenas across the globe. Since their beginnings in 1968, they created a sound that would form the basis of heavy metal, going on to influence bands all over the world – an influence which is still felt to this day.   The End of The End is the story of that final, emotionally-charged concert. Fans are taken into the heart of the action, up close and personal with the band on stage as they perform genre-defining hits, from Iron Man to Paranoid to War Pigs, amongst others. Sabbath also took the opportunity to spend some time in the studio, delivering a unique performance of some of their favourite songs. This film gives fans an intimate glimpse into the band's relationships and their banter with each other, with both individual and group recollections from Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler. The band's loyal following spans generations and this is the opportunity for fans, young and old, to come together and see the boys from Birmingham doing what they do best, almost 50 years after they started. This is the final word from the greatest metal band of all time.   Logan Lucky (12A) Friday 29th September 7:30pm Saturday 30th September 7:30pm Monday 2nd October 7:30pm with subtitles for the HOH Tickets: £7.00 Adult/£5.00 Under 16's Book online: www.ticketsource.co.uk/event/197453 Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 *** Please note that the screening on Monday 2nd October will be subtitled for The Hard Of Hearing   Three siblings and two crooks plan a heist at one of the busiest, most popular NASCAR events on the calendar.   Meet the Logans. They're a family who struggle in life, being known in their home state of West Virginia for being unlucky – a reputation they've sustained for some 90 years. Jimmy Logan (Channing Tatum) has his mind set on changing that, however. He and his siblings – Mellie (Riley Keough) and Clyde (Adam Driver) – hatch a plan to forever consign their luckless legend to the history books. The Logan siblings enlist their friends, the Redneck Robbers, to pull off a daring heist at the Coca-Cola 600 – one of the country's most popular NASCAR events of the season.   If they can come together to successfully complete the heist at the Charlotte Motor Speedway, the Logans can pocket a cool $14 million dollars to share among themselves.   Featuring Channing Tatum (The Lego Batman Movie) as ringleader Jimmy, Logan Lucky sees the Magic Mike star team up with Adam Driver (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) and Riley Keough (Mad Max: Fury Road) as the trio of Logan siblings, while the film also features the acting talents of Daniel Craig (Spectre) as Joe Bang and Seth MacFarlane (A Million Ways to Die in the West) as Max Chilblain.   The production shot at Charlotte Motor Speedway during the actual NASCAR Coca-Cola 600 and the Bank of America 500, as well as at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
