Secret Agent (2025)
1st October @ 7.30pm. The fourth fiction feature from Kleber Mendonça Filho is a sweat-saturated riot of a movie: a dual-timeline thriller powered by the kind of anarchic, erratic energy that you would expect to find at the end of a two day bender. Screen Daily. Wendy Ide.
Derek vs Derek (2026)
22nd October @ 7.30pm. Five years ago, I realised that the countryside was becoming central to the conflict around the climate crisis and biodiversity loss. I felt it was undervalued as a focus for films. And not properly understood…When I found the two Dereks I knew they were a great way of crafting a story that could tease out the underlying issues in a funny and engaging way. James Dawson. Director.
Rose of Nevada (2025)
29th October @ 7.30pm. Seen from the vantage point of our hyper-digital 2020s, Jenkin isn’t just a stark outlier from the current media regime. He’s also among the very few working directors whose cinema feels both familiar and viscerally new. The Film Stage. Leonardo Goi.
Poole Lighthouse
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
22nd October @ 2.00pm (Dementia Friendly Screening). Note-perfect performances, a screenplay steeped in both nostalgia and a timely sense of insight. Empire.

Vertigo (1958)
Vertigo is one of the great movies about movies, and about Hitchcock’s own way with them. The New Yorker. Richard Brody.
Suspicion (1948)
Joan Fontaine is so fantastic in Suspicion that she won the Academy Award for Best Actress, making her the only Oscar-winning performance in a Hitchcock movie. Collider.
