Mira Nair (Monsoon Wedding) directs this riveting adaptation of the Booker shortlisted novel by Mohsin Hamid. Ambitious young Pakistani Changez Khan (Riz Ahmed) is chasing the American Dream. Mentored by Wall Street hotshot Jim Cross (Kiefer Sutherland), Changez proves a good student in the ruthlessness of western business ethics and his life and career in the States seems set. Then the world changes in the wake of 9/11, and Changez suddenly finds himself on the wrong side of persecution and discrimination… “Nair carefully manipulates the viewers’ prejudices and forces us to take sides in a conflict more complicated than it first appears…” bfi.org.uk

Tuesday 16th & Wednesday 17th July 7.30pm
When a technical failure endangers the lives of all those on board Peninsula Flight 2549 there is only one thing the crew can do: rally together. Whilst the pilots endeavour to find a solution to their predicament, the cabin crew strive to ensure the passengers have the most enjoyable flight of their lives – it may well be their last! Harking back to his early works, Pedro Almodóvar delivers a singular comedy that’s lighter than air. “It’s a lot of fun! Very risqué in a typically Almodovar way ... It’s about the fluffiest thing he’s ever done.” Simon Ward, Independent Cinema Office.
