The Academy Awards will be presented on Sunday 15th March and this year we're rolling out the red carpet to all ten of the Best Picture nominees in the days before! Racking up a whopping 80 nominations between them all, don't miss your chance to catch BUGONIA, F1 THE MOVIE, FRANKENSTEIN, HAMNET, MARTY SUPREME, ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, THE SECRET AGENT, SENTIMENTAL VALUE, SINNERS and TRAIN DREAMS before the big night! If you haven't caught them yet then don't miss this last opportunity to see them all on the big screen between Friday 13th and Sunday 15th March.
As a lot of these films have been out for a little while tickets are only £10 but we've added a 'supporter' price of £15 too. If you're able to pay the larger amount that'd really help us to cover the costs of doing more of these one-off looking back projects.
