Host Sam Clements speaks to award-winning director Rob Marshall and the prestigious composer Alan Menken about their new film, The Little Mermaid, in cinemas now!
“The Little Mermaid” is the beloved story of Ariel, a beautiful and spirited young mermaid with a thirst for adventure.
The youngest of King Triton’s daughters and the most defiant, Ariel longs to find out more about the world beyond the sea and, while visiting the surface, falls for the dashing Prince Eric.
While mermaids are forbidden to interact with humans, Ariel must follow her heart. She makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, which gives her a chance to experience life on land but ultimately places her life – and her father’s crown – in jeopardy.

Host Flick Beckett speaks to director Alastair Evans about his new film, A Crack In The Mountain, in cinemas from 26 May.
Hang Sơn Đoòng which translates as “mountain river cave”, is located in the Phong Nha-Kẻ Bàng National Park in Quảng Bình Province in Vietnam. The national park is also a UNESCO world heritage site.
First found in 1990 by a local farmer, it wasn’t explored until 2009 when a British expedition team rigged ropes and descended down.
Many people have described Sơn Đoòng as a lost world. It has its own lake, jungle and even a unique weather system.
In 2014 plans were announced to build a cable car into Sơn Đoòng.
With many arguing that this would destroy the cave’s delicate eco-system and the local community divided over the benefits this development would bring, the film follows those caught up in the unfolding events.
The documentary also uses the narrative as a lens through which to investigate related themes such as the challenges of modern day exploration, environmental conservation & sustainability, and the perils of operating as an activist in a country such as Vietnam where freedom of speech is severely curtailed.

Picturehouse’s very own Flick Beckett speaks to author Andreas Malm, director and co-writer Daniel Goldhaber, and co-writer and actor Ariela Barer about their new film How To Blow Up A Pipeline.
Inspired by Andreas Malm’s book of the same name, director Daniel Goldhaber (Cam) spins a tense and taut thriller that is part heist movie, part exploration of the climate crisis.

With their daredevil plan in motion, each character’s motivations are revealed via flashbacks as the film barrels towards its explosive climax, in a timely and vital call to arms.
