2nd - Nuremberg (2025) 148 min (Short Break)
 

Set in the aftermath of the Second World War, Nuremberg focuses on the historic trials that sought justice for the architects of Nazi war crimes. The
film centres on the tense legal and moral battles inside the courtroom, as prosecutors, defendants and witnesses confront the consequences of unimaginable atrocities. A powerful and unsettling drama, it explores
justice, accountability and the difficulty of rebuilding a shattered world.

 

9th - The Duchess – 110 min
 

Set in late-18th-century England, The Duchess tells the story of Georgiana Cavendish, a young woman thrust into a loveless aristocratic marriage and
the glare of public life. Lavishly produced and beautifully acted, the film explores love, duty and the constraints placed on women in high society. A
rich and engaging period drama with strong performances and striking
visuals.

 

16th - The Choral (2025) – 113 min
 

The Choral is a moving British drama centred on the power of music to bring people together. Set against a backdrop of personal challenge and change, the film explores how choral singing creates connection, resilience and hope among its members. Warm, reflective and uplifting, it celebrates community,
shared purpose and the emotional impact of the human voice.

This biographical drama tells the story of legendary singer and performer Bobby Darin, charting his rise from a childhood marked by illness to international stardom. Blending music, romance and ambition, the film explores the passion and drive behind Darin’s success, alongside the personal challenges he faced. Lively, nostalgic and entertaining, it’s a
celebration of music, showmanship and determination.
