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’.

The Wild Robot follows Rozzum 7134 (“Roz” for short), a futuristic robot that washes ashore on a deserted island.
A tale of survival and discovery begins when she becomes the unexpected protector to an orphaned gosling, which she names Brightbill. Together they struggle to survive the harsh environment, but only succeed with the help of a close-knit group of misfit animals, who become first friends, then family. Ultimately Roz and company save the island from a robotic invasion by Roz’s manufacturer, looking to bring her back to civilization by any means necessary.

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!

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.

Freda Cooper talks to director Nora Fingscheidt and writer Amy Liptrot about their new film The Outrun, starring Saoirse Ronan and Paapa Essiedu, in cinemas now.
Based on the best-selling memoir by Amy Liptrot, THE OUTRUN is set in the otherworldly Orkney islands of Scotland. A brutally honest drama about addiction and recovery, strength and survival, mental health and the ability of the sea, the land and of people to restore life and renew hope.
After a decade away in London, 29-year-old Rona returns home to the Orkney Islands. Sober but lonely, she tries to suppress her memory of the events which set her on this journey of recovery. Slowly the mystical land enters her inner world and – one day at a time – Rona finds hope and strength in herself among the heavy gales and the bracingly cold sea.
