Ish
12:15 PM
6:30 PM
12-year-old best friends Ish and Maram wrestle to hold on to their friendship in the wake of a police stop and search. As the ripples take hold, the boys try to make sense of the men they are becoming – and how ‘letting go’ can be the hardest part of growing up.
Films
The Last One for the Road
1:00 PM
Francesco Sossai’s dazzling sophomore feature is many things at once: a road movie, a casual caper, a tribute to a vanishing industrial Italy, a scruffy intergenerational odyssey, and free-flowing bender through time and space.
Films
Off-Circuit
UK PREMIERE
The Day She Returns
2:00 PM
A subtle meditation on memory and performance, Hong Sangsoo's latest film unfolds through a series of increasingly intimate conversations, as he continues his exploration of the boundaries between lived experience and artistic creation.
Films
Personal Problems
3:00 PM
A legendary meta-soap opera that has maintained a devoted underground following since 1981, it captures the improvisational heat of Harlem life on gritty U-matic video to explore what Ishmael Reed calls the "triteness of everyday life."


Films
The Sacrifice (4K Restoration)
4:00 PM
Andrei Tarkovsky’s visionary final film unfolds in the hours before a nuclear holocaust. Among many other awards, The Sacrifice won the Cannes Grand Prix in 1986, the same year that Tarkovsky died of cancer in Paris at the age of 54. 

Live
HTRK
6:00 PM
8:30 PM
HTRK [‘hate rock'], the Australian duo of Jonnine Standish and Nigel Yang, have an uncanny ability to elevate musical mood to a singular, smouldering supremacy. Their songs are often coded as fantasies, venturing deeper into the heady expanses of dub dream and memory.

Death By Hanging + Yunbogi's Diary
7:00 PM
At once disturbing and oddly amusing, Ōshima's macabre farce about a man who survives his execution and throws the judiciary system into chaos, is a searing indictment of both capital punishment and the treatment of Korean immigrants in his country.
Films
Nostalgia (4K Restoration)
8:30 PM
Andrei Tarkovsky's extraordinary and haunting exploration of exile, memory, and faith returns to the big screen in a new 4K restoration.
