Sam Clements talks to filmmakers Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui about thier new film Super/Man: A Christopher Reeve Story, in cinemas now.
The story of Christopher Reeve is an astonishing rise from unknown actor to iconic movie star, and his definitive portrayal of Clark Kent/Superman set the benchmark for the superhero cinematic universes that dominate cinema today.
Reeve portrayed the Man of Steel in four Superman films and played dozens of other roles that displayed his talent and range as an actor, before being injured in a near-fatal horse-riding accident in 1995 that left him paralyzed from the neck down.
After becoming a quadriplegic, he became a charismatic leader and activist in the quest to find a cure for spinal cord injuries, as well as a passionate advocate for disability rights and care - all while continuing his career in cinema in front of and behind the camera and dedicating himself to his beloved family.
From the directors of McQueen, Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui, this film includes never-before-seen intimate home movies and an extraordinary trove of personal archive material, as well as the first extended interviews ever filmed with Reeve’s three children about their father, and interviews with the A-list Hollywood actors who were Reeve’s colleagues and friends.
The film is a moving and vivid cinematic telling of Reeve’s remarkable story.

Lara Peters talks to actor Julianne Moore about her new film, The Room Next Door, in cinemas now.
Ingrid (Julianne Moore) and Martha (Tilda Swinton) were friends in their youth, going on to creative success – Ingrid as a novelist, and Martha as a war reporter – but separated by the circumstances of life.
After years of being out of touch, the pair reunite and rekindle their companionship in an extreme but strangely sweet situation, where Martha asks Ingrid to assist her with a complicated, deeply personal request.
Pedro Almodóvar makes his English-language feature debut with The Room Next Door, adapting Sigrid Nunez’s acclaimed novel ‘What Are You Going Through’.

Felicity Beckett talks to director Pablo D'Ambrosi about his new film Food For Profit.
Food For Profit is the first feature documentary that exposes the links between the meat industry, lobbying, and the corridors of power. A five-year investigation that denounced how Europe is transferring hundreds of billions of taxpayers’ money into the hands of intensive farms, which mistreat animals, pollute the environment, and pose a potential danger for future pandemics. Directors Giulia Innocenzi and Pablo D’Ambrosi, along with their team of investigators, take us on an enlightening but shocking journey across Europe, where they confront farmers, corporations, and politicians.
Travelling across Europe, they infiltrate farms across Europe, exposing the truth behind the perceived excellence of European dairy and meat production whilst also infiltrating high level powers in Brussels and gaining shocking information.
Green Screen is a community-led space to discuss the environmental issues raised in the films we show. Everyone is invited to continue the conversation after the film in the cinema's bar or cafe – enjoy a free tea or filter coffee when you bring a keep cup!

Friday Oct 11, 2024
Lucy Fenwick Elliott speaks to Alice Lowe, the writer, director and star of Timestalker, as well as the film's leading men, Nick Frost and Aneurin Barnard.
Timestalker is a bawdy reincarnation rom-com romp that will take you back to the past, and then into the future.
From the creative team behind Prevenge comes a romantic comedy about the eternal humiliation that is the search for love, spanning the most romantic epochs of history right into the future.
Timestalker follows hapless heroine Agnes (Lowe) through time as she repeatedly falls for the wrong guy, dies a grim death, gets reincarnated a century later, before meeting him again and starting the cycle anew. It is one story told over many periods, all with the messy thrills and spills that come with daring to follow your heart. Or maybe your loins...
Agnes’ only hope in avoiding this violent fate is by finally reaching spiritual enlightenment; but how can she ever wise up when she’s destined to be a fool for love? Some lessons are just too hard to learn in one lifetime.
