What kind of cinema night are you having this bank holiday weekend?

CHOOSE 🔪 CHAOTIC & SAUCY 
Teenage S*x and Death at Camp Miasma lands at the Phoenix, 28 August

SYNOPSIS — After years of slapdash sequels and waning fandom, the Camp Miasma slasher franchise is handed over to an enthusiastic young director for resurrection. But when she visits the original’s star, a now-reclusive actress shrouded in mystery, the two women fall into a blood-soaked world of desire, fear, and delirium.

CHOOSE 🎄 INTROSPECTIVE & META  
Pedro Almodóvar’s latest Bitter Christmas arrives on 28 August too.

SYNOPSIS — Raúl is a cult filmmaker in the midst of a creative crisis. When tragedy strikes one of his closest collaborators, he draws inspiration from it to write his next film. Little by little, he imagines Elsa, a filmmaker in the midst of writing a script, whose journey begins to mirror his own.

The two filmmakers become two sides of the same character, in a game of mirrors where the raw honesty of autofiction reveals as much as it destroys. But how far can one go to tell a story?

CHOOSE 💭 THOUGHT-PROVOKING & GENRE-BENDING 
&Sons will screen from the 31 August.

SYNOPSIS — A world-renowned but reclusive novelist, believing he is about to die, summons his estranged sons to his home. But instead of seeking forgiveness for their shattered family, he tells them a wild and unbelievable secret that could rewrite their past.

Whatever your mood, we’ve got a film for it.
 See you at the Phoenix.

SUPER NATURE + DIRECTOR Q&A - 5th SEPTEMBER @ 2PM

We welcome Ed Sayers to the Phoenix for a live discussion of his debut feature - a super charged nature documentary that celebrates our universal connection to the natural environment with an intimate gaze, creating a visceral, poetic personal meditation on the natural world.

What makes this film unique? Ed collaborated with 40 people on 80 different antique Super 8 cameras across land, in the air, and underwater. They would all decide together the stories of nature close to them and their hearts that they would tell, all with as little travel as possible.

By being filmed exclusively on Super 8, Super Nature proposes a new way of seeing. A celebration of all we have and reflecting on all we have to lose… The result is a fresh perspective on the most pressing subject of our time.
