strand.

This gorgeously filmed US comedy brings an appealing vitality and soul to its story of a rundown cinema on the day of closure and the various intersecting lives of its staff and customers. Propelled by a witty and weirdly lyrical script, great performances and some unexpected cameos, this is a fresh, funny and robust ode to cinema in a time of uncertainty over its future.

– Paul Ridd

The first screening of Concessions will be presented on 35mm (Fri 15 Aug 2025 | 19:30 | Filmhouse Screen 1)
