Tomorrow, Friday 19 December at HEART is the final Film Feast of the year with a screening of THE HOLDOVERS! Doors are 6PM, with food 6:30PM and film at 7:15PM.

Set in 1970 and directed by Alexander Payne it stars Paul Giamatti, Da'Vine Joy Randolph and Dominic Sessa. A curmudgeonly history teacher (Giamatti) at a New England boarding school remains on campus during Christmas break to supervise held over students and ends up forming an unlikely bond with a brainy but damaged troublemaker. Only released recently in 2023 it has quickly become a festive favourite!

For the feast, the head chef is running with the school dinners theme to bring a delicious vegan cottage pie with root veg mash and green beans!

Get together this Christmas time and enjoy fantastic food and film at HEART! Get tickets from the link in the bio or OTD!

🎃Halloween Film Feast: A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night

This Halloween, join us for an evening that embraces the beautifully eerie — featuring an Iranian vampire film and a Persian culinary experience from HEART’s Assembly Bar + Kitchen.

Indulge in Ghormeh Sabzi, a delicious Persian stew celebrated for its rich and complex flavour. Fresh herbs, dried limes, and red kidney beans are slow-cooked with savoury vegan pieces and served with fragrant rice 🌿🍋🍛

The evening’s film, a crowdfunded Iranian vampire Western, stars Sheila Vand, Arash Marandi, and Mozhan Marnò. Set in the haunting ghost-town of Bad City — a place steeped in death and solitude — the story follows a mysterious vampire who stalks its unaware inhabitants. 🦇

Spoiler warning for Fire Walk With Me and Twin Peaks (TV Series) Enveloping totality: the scalding heat of violence tears open the moment. In simultaneity, violence is birthed and combusts, an eclipsed instant of creation and destruction. White-hot, flashing and brazen, shattering the present into fractals of unspooled being. In these still frames of bloodied frenzy, a scream speaks manifestation to the unutterable presence of evil....

Still showing until 21 August (Daytime screenings - English Dialogue) Here we have the long-awaited new film from Claude Barras, and for those indie animation fans, he previously made the beautiful My Life as a Courgette/Zucchini (2016). But even without Celine Sciamma as a co-screenwriter, he still impresses with his sophomore feature. "Savages" is set in a French colonial country in which young girl Kéria, living with her father on a settlement by the indigenous forest, ends up adopting a baby orangutan, orphaned by those cutting down the trees killing its mother....
