My Order

Blue Has No Borders + Q&A (15)

Jessi moves to Folkestone's white cliffs, a Brexit-voting small town, where refugees cross from France daily, and tensions rise between 'woke' progressives and a more conservative set nostalgic for Empire and English influence.


The town, built for defence, ripples with ghosts of soldiers and now, fleeing asylum seekers, evoking shame and fear in residents. Psychological borders deepen, hindering a multicultural future. But Jessi's film is turned on its head as she meets 6 characters embodying hope for a community of messy inclusivity and English identity, traversing racial, political, and class borders, urging liberal audiences and societies to introspect.



Through moments of emotion, humour, and the everyday, the film delves into their lives, echoed by locals’ thoughts and dreams as the Coronation comes, wars begin, and Governments change, tracing British identity amidst social and political chaos.


“Capturing a diverse, genuine cross-section of English life, Gutch's self-reflection challenges media stereotypes and her own biases.”

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion.

Exhibition On Screen: Frida Kahlo (U)

Frida Kahlo is a phenomenon. She is arguably the world’s favourite female artist – beloved by young and old.


Exhibition on Screen’s award-winning film – first released during covid to a restricted audience – is back by popular demand with an exciting new addition from the blockbuster transatlantic exhibition from Tate Britain and MFA Houston ‘Frida Kahlo: the Making of an Icon’.


Back in the cinemas in May 2026, one month before the Tate exhibition opens, allowing audiences to watch both the film and see the show.


Who was Frida Kahlo? Everyone knows her face but who was the woman behind the bright colours, the big brows and the floral crowns?

Take a journey through the life of a true icon, discover her art, and uncover the true story of her rebellious, passionate and turbulent life.


Making use of the latest technology to deliver previously unimaginable quality, we take an in- depth look at key works throughout her career.

Using letters Kahlo wrote to guide us, this definitive film reveals her deepest emotions and unlocks the secrets and symbolism contained within her art.

Exhibition on Screen’s trademark combination of interviews with those who knew her and world experts, commentary and a detailed exploration of her art, combined with new special bonus footage from the 2026 Tate exhibition, delivers a treasure trove of colour and emotion. This personal and intimate film offers privileged access to her works, her home, her studio and highlights the source of her feverish creativity, her resilience and her unmatched lust for life, beauty and revolution.

Exhibition On Screen: Turner & Constable (U)

Two of Britain’s greatest painters, J.M.W. Turner and John Constable were also the greatest of rivals.


Born within a year of each other, both used landscape painting to reflect the changing world around them.


Tate Britain is bringing these two greats together for a groundbreaking exhibition, in London from November 2025 to April 2026, and Exhibition on Screen once again has exclusive and privileged access to bring their extraordinary art and remarkable stories to the big screen in March 2026 so that both can be enjoyed together.


Don’t miss this opportunity to see these greats side-by-side, as they so often were in life, on the big screen for the first time.


Turner’s blazing sunsets and sublime scenes from his travels and Constable’s idealised depictions of beloved places from home whipped the public of the time into a frenzy of enthusiasm.


Critics compared their starkly different styles to a clash of ‘fire and water’.

Marking 250 years since their births, this unmissable new documentary explores Turner and Constable’s intertwined lives and legacies alongside the groundbreaking Tate exhibition.


Discover unexpected sides to both artists with intimate views of sketchbooks and personal items and insights from leading experts. This is not to be missed.

Molly Vs THE MACHINES (15)

This is a nationwide premiere screening in partnership with Glasgow Film Festival and features a pre-recorded discussion featuring Marc Silver (director), Ian Russell (Molly's Father), Charlotte Campbell (Molly's friend), hosted by Carole Cadwalladr.


At just 14 years old, Molly Russell came home from school, finished her homework and said goodnight to her family. A few hours later, she took her own life.


Surrounded by a loving circle of family and friends, it was a life-shattering mystery to all who knew her. In search of an answer Ian, her devastated father, pieces the final months of her life back together only to discover that, when Molly looked at her phone, social media machines dragged her into darkness.


Co-written by Harvard professor and best-selling author Shoshana Zuboff, the film follows the trail of two narratives and their devastating convergence. Molly’s friends, family and associated professionals trace in detail what happened to Molly, while the economic logic behind Big Tech helped fuel an algorithmic spiral resulting in tragic consequences.


From a teenager’s suburban bedroom to the boardrooms of Silicon Valley, Molly Vs THE MACHINES is the story of a heartbroken father’s quest to uncover the truth behind his daughter's death, and his fightback against how the most powerful corporations of the modern age operate.


Now, as Big Tech's global domination escalates with AI, Molly's story reminds us that the real power is still in our hands.

Phoenix Classics - New Orleans Season: Panic In The Streets (PG)

The Big Easy. The Crescent City. NOLA. Nawlins. Whichever way you have it, there’s nowhere quite like New Orleans. It’s a city of incomparably rich cultural history, fuelled by a musical scene that lives in the streets as much as it does in the bars lining Frenchman Street.


As such, it makes for a singular cinematic backdrop, instilling a character of its own that’s impossible to recreate on studio backlots. We took a look back across some 70 years of depictions of New Orleans on film, picking out some of the best.


"Panic in the Streets" (1950) directed by Elia Kazan follows Dr. Clint Reed, played by Richard Widmark, who discovers that a murder victim has died from pneumonic plague. With only 48 hours to locate the killer and prevent a potential epidemic, Reed teams up with police detective Tom Warren (Paul Douglas) to track down the killer and anyone who may have been exposed to the disease. The urgency of their mission is heightened by the need to keep the public unaware of the outbreak to prevent mass panic.

Phoenix Classics: Breathless (12A)

Phoenix presents a French new wave classic.


Michel is a young, suave criminal who styles himself on Humphrey Bogart. When he attempts to steal a car, he impulsively commits a more serious crime and goes on the run. He flees to Paris, where he tries to persuade Patricia, an American journalism student he is infatuated with, to escape to Italy with him.


Godard’s debut feature, a chaotic, anarchic romance wrapped in an exciting sense of danger, challenged conventions of cinematic grammar and style, and helped forge a revolutionary wave in film. Bursting with youthful energy, wit and invention, Breathless still feels as radically fresh as it did on arrival.

The Metropolitan Opera: El Último Sueño De Frida Y Diego (U)

On May 30, the Metropolitan Opera’s 2025–26 Live in HD season comes to a close with a live transmission of American composer Gabriela Lena Frank’s first opera, a magical-realist portrait of Mexico’s painterly power couple Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, with libretto by Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright Nilo Cruz. Fashioned as a reversal of the Orpheus and Euridice myth, the story depicts Frida, sung by leading mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard, leaving the underworld on the Day of the Dead and reuniting with Diego, portrayed by baritone Carlos Álvarez. The famously feuding pair briefly relive their tumultuous love, embracing both the passion and the pain before bidding the land of the living a final farewell. Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts the Met-premiere staging of Frank’s opera, a “confident, richly imagined score” (The New Yorker) that “bursts with color and fresh individuality” (Los Angeles Times). The vibrant new production, taking enthusiastic inspiration from Frida and Diego’s paintings, is directed and choreographed by Deborah Colker.

Heroic tenor Michael Spyres stars opposite Davidsen as the love-drunk Tristan.

Mezzosoprano Ekaterina Gubanova reprises her portrayal of Brangäne, alongside bass-baritone Tomasz Konieczny, who sings Kurwenal after celebrated Met appearances in Wagner’s Der Fliegende Holländer and Ring cycle. Bass-baritone Ryan Speedo Green makes an important role debut as King Marke.
