Our Cinema and Screen Producer's October Highlights

Rudy is struggling to find her space within her own home. Her relationship with her father is disintegrating and she has become a proxy parent to her younger siblings. As she feels more and more pushed out of the home, she finds a new friendship in Luke but some things can’t be left unsaid. We are absolutely thrilled to bring in a preview screening of Shona Auerbach’s new film, Rudy, filmed right here in Coventry and Warwickshire. Shona will join us for a post-screening Q&A as well.

Korean master Park Chan-wook is back with a genre-bending film. Following detective Hae-joon as he investigates the suspicious death of a man and becomes entangled in a web of deception and desire with the dead man’s wife, Decision to Leave is further evidence that the filmmaker simply can’t miss. Switching genres as the film unfolds and yet carrying Park Chan-wook’s undeniable style, Decision to Leave is a captivating cinematic experience. 

Things spiral into darkness for a wealthy Welsh family in Lee Haven Jones’s debut feature The Feast. Entirely in the Welsh language, the film follows the family as they prepare for an important dinner party, but when a mysterious young woman arrives to help as a waitress for the night, things take a turn. An absolutely unforgettable film, you’ll want to watch this one on the big screen.

We are excited to welcome Queer East for the first time this month. Queer East is a festival focusing on queer cinema from East and Southeast Asia. We will be presenting two feature films – Thai drama Love of Siam and Japanese drama What She Likes… — as well as a collection of short films Days of Reverie. The Queer East team will join us to introduce each of the screenings.

Finally, don’t miss the return of Screening Rights Film Festival, Warwick’s very own human rights film festival. We will be presenting five films from their programme this year, each followed by a Q&A. Join us for Eternal Spring, Nico, Silence Heard Loud, Unloved – Huronia’s Forgotten Children and Eat Your Catfish.

Hope to see you there,
