We're ridiculously excited to reveal the programme for this year's annual film festival! It's a month of Sundays throughout June and promises something for everyone. We've changed things up a little bit this year by including two matinee sessions for the kids and a slightly earlier start for the stand-alone movies.

We've got old and new, funny and dramatic, musical and mysterious. Check out the programme, clear your calendar and raid your piggy bank for the essential movie snacks available at the Movie Munchies Cafe.
