For 2026, we present our year-long season 'Spotlight' celebrating four international female filmmakers through four dedicated programmes, each featuring three films.
We open the season with the acclaimed Palestinian director Annemarie Jacir, following the incredible success of her recent feature Palestine 36. The programme presents her first three feature films, including Salt of This Sea, the first feature ever directed by a Palestinian woman.
Details of the remaining filmmakers will be announced throughout the year.
All Sunday screenings will include an introduction, with tickets priced at £10.
