We’ll miss you, Oscar. Now go watch Scooby Doo 2 and think of us. Twilight is also an option. 🧡🍿

GLENROTHAN

makes his directorial debut with a rich, layered drama about family and forgiveness.

After 35 years in the United States, Donal (Cu***ng) returns to his family-owned whisky distillery in the Scottish Highlands. When he left, his dear mother had died and, on the very day of her funeral, he and his brother Sandy (Cox) wound up in a violent exchange with their father. All those years away gave Donal the chance to become the version of himself his chaotic family would never allow, but the wounds from that terrible time have never fully healed. Now, with the survival of their treasured family business on the line, Donal hopes to make amends with Sandy, and to find some desperately needed inner peace before it’s too late.

Written by David Ashton and Jeff Murphy, GLENROTHAN digs deep into the complexities of familial ties and fissures, set against the proud but threatened tradition of making some of the world’s finest whisky.

Showing from Friday 8 May, don’t miss a special in-person Q&A with writer David Ashton and producer Neil Zeiger on Sunday 10 May at 2.15 pm.

SOUL TO SOUL

In February 1971, several dozen African American soul, jazz, and gospel artists embarked on a journey from New York to Ghana, West Africa, to take part in the concert named “Soul To Soul”, a celebration of 14 years of independence from British rule. For most of the musicians, this was a journey about personal roots, their ancestral homeland, history, discovery, loss, pain and joy.

Now, 55 years later, the film has been restored and reconstructed using the high quality 2K transfers and the soundtrack had been remastered. Unmissable, vibrant and historically significant 1971 concert film, featuring performances by Ike & Tina Turner, Santana, Wilson Pickett, the Staples Singers, Les McCann & Eddie Harris, and The Voices of East Harlem, is showing on Sunday 26 July at 8.00 pm at ActOne Cinema & Café.
