Wherever possible, we play films with the Amplified Audio soundtrack. These films are listed below and can be recognised by the [AA] image beside the film title.

A film with an amplified audio soundtrack is specifically intended for people with hearing impairment. It means that we can supply you with headphones for the duration of the film, and you can turn up the volume as much as you need. 

An amplified audio soundtrack has no affect whatsoever on anyone without the headphones; it's just like a regular film.

Wherever possible we play films with the audio description soundtrack. These films are listed below, and can be recognised by the [AD] image beside the film title.

A film with an audio description soundtrack means that we can supply you with headphones for the duration of the film which will relay a special soundtrack with full description of events happening on screen. This means that anyone with visual impairment or other needs can fully enjoy the film.

An audio description soundtrack has no affect whatsoever to anyone without the headphones; it's just like a regular film.

Relaxed screenings offer a chance to see films in a relaxed environment and are open to everyone to attend, but are especially tailored for those with autism or others with sensory needs, as well as their friends, family and carers. Relaxed screenings are scheduled every second Sunday of the month.

What’s different about these screenings?

The sound is lower than usual (we also have ear defenders available), the lights are kept on low, seats are not allocated, the cinema screening is filled to a maximum capacity of 75%.It’s ok to move around or walk out of the screen if you need a break. It’s ok to make noise if you need.

Accessibility:
Please be aware, the cinema is on the first floor and there is no lift. We do have a medium-wide (1100mm) stairwell with handrails on both sides, and we’ve had several guests with limited mobility join us for films. However it does rely on walking up the stairs (with assistance as required).

Our staff will be ready to lend a hand wherever needed.

Please see here for our Accessibility Document.

A chance for parents and carers with babies under a year old to see the best new films.

The cafe is open from 10am, and the films begin at 11am. The sound is turned down a little, and the lights kept up a little. We'll also help you upstairs with your buggy!

(Please note that due to the need to keep our fire exits accessible, buggies are parked in the bar, where we have staff and CCTV, while the film is on)

Only adults accompanied by babies will be admitted.

HOH subtitles, or ‘closed captioning’, refers to subtitles specifically intended for people who are Deaf or hard of hearing. They are a transcription rather than a translation, so as well as reproducing dialogue in films, aim to describe every additional non-dialogue sound available to a hearing audience, e.g. “(sighs)” or “(door creaks)” and song lyrics. These subtitles are hard-coded onto the screen. All guests are welcome to purchase tickets to these screenings and in our experience, hearing guests at these performances do not find the subtitles to be distracting at all.

Come with us on an adventure through space and time as we explore the outer reaches of the universe in our Summer Of Sci-Fi season!

Take a look at all the lovely films we’ve got coming up, by date.

Moving between short-term jobs and small-time hustles, he must balance the hopeful rush of a fresh start with a past that is holding him back. By turns exhilarating and poetic, URCHIN is a bold, vibrant and utterly unmissable portrait of life on the margins.

CAPTAIN VOLKONOGOV ESCAPED presented by Klassiki & Jellied Reels
Captain Fyodor Volkonogov is an esteemed and enthusiastic enforcer for the Soviet security organs - it's 1938 and the Great Terror is rattling along at full tilt. When his peers start to be sent for 're-evaluation', Volkonogov senses something amiss and makes a break through the backstreets of Leningrad. Enduring a profound crisis of conscience and a relentless manhunt by his former colleagues, Fyodor is accosted by otherworldly apparitions. He must find one living person to grant him forgiveness for his atrocities, or forever be subjected to the torments of Hell... but are executioners really worthy of redemption? Part hallucinatory ghost tale, part propulsive historical thriller, Captain Volkonogov Escaped is an elegantly styled and thought-provoking parable that channels Dostoyevskian moral questioning against a backdrop of striking Constructivist aesthetics. Natasha Merkulova and Aleksey Chupov's timely reimagining of the Stalinist purges competed for the Golden Lion at the 2021 Venice Biennale, before the film's domestic release in Russia was 'indefinitely delayed' at the start of 2022. Oscar nominee Yuri Borisov (Anora, Compartment No. 6) leads with a superbly chilling, if not darkly funny, performance as the soul-searching Volkonogov. Klassiki is a video-on-demand platform which is dedicated exclusively to cinema from Eastern Europe - including Ukraine, Russia, and the Baltics - the Caucasus and Central Asia

CAMP CLASSICS presents: The Craft (1996)
Welcome to Camp Classics, where we celebrate the films that queer culture has embraced for their unapologetic camp, iconic performances, and unforgettable style. Each screening dives into the movies that have become queer cultural staples—whether they were made with us in mind or not. This spooky season we’re screening 1996’s The Craft, directed by Andrew Fleming. Where high school meets high magic, and teen angst gets a supernatural upgrade. This cult classic follows Sarah (Robin Tunney), the new girl in town who falls in with a coven of misfit witches -- played by Fairuza Balk, Neve Campbell, and Rachel True. What starts as spellcasting for self-empowerment spirals into a dark, intoxicating power trip. Part goth dream, part cautionary tale, The Craft is the bewitching teen flick that launched a thousand alt-girl wardrobes -- and more than a few witchy awakenings. To quote letterboxd user, abi, "lesbian witches should run the world".

Violet Hour VI: The Violet Hour
And bats with baby faces in the violet light Whistled, and beat their wings And crawled head downward down a blackened wall And upside down in the air were towers The Waste Land, T.S. Eliot (1922) Join Violet Hour on 12th November for an evening of short films exploring the idea of ‘the violet hour,’ a term coined by T.S. Eliot in his 1922 poem, 'The Waste Land.' Relating to the hour between late afternoon and dusk, we associate this time with themes of esotericism, destiny and longing, and have curated a programme of shorts exploring these ideas. From the morbid melancholia of Yevgeni Bauer’s 'The Dying Swan' (1917), to the ritualistic movements of witchcraft evoked in Maya Deren’s 'Witch’s Cradle' (1944), these shorts centre on what it means to exist in the liminal spaces between life and death, in shades that are neither definitively red, nor blue, but violet. Teo Hernández’s 'l’eau de la Seine' (1983) and Lucas Haynes’ 'Sensor Lights in Flemington' (2022) both explore the visual and sensory aspects of the idea of the ‘violet hour,’ charting the transition from day to night in mesmerising timelapse. Tarot Readings with Rosy Pendlebaby Here, said she, Is your card, the drowned Phoenician Sailor, (Those are pearls that were his eyes. Look!) Here is Belladonna, the Lady of the Rocks, The lady of situations. The Waste Land, T.S. Eliot (1922) The screening will be bookended with personalised tarot readings in the Castle bar for all ticketholders, so be sure to stay around to glean your fate. About Rosy Pendlebaby Rosy Pendlebaby (they/she) is a queer performer, facilitator, and activist, working in the UK and internationally, making work that explores the intersections of creativity, pleasure, and change-making. They are director of rebellious arts lab, Revolting Arts Club, and co-founder of body positive life drawing project, Body Love Sketch Club. Recent collaborators include Fusion Festival, Soho House, Cheltenham Literature, Torture Garden Festival, Pinky Promise, Shambala, and Edinburgh Fringe, and more. They have been working with the Tarot for more than 7 years and read in a way that is warm, supportive, and accessible both to those who are familiar with the cards, and who are having them read for the first time. About Violet Hour Violet Hour showcases the dark, transgressive and enigmatic side of the screen. Exploring the darker aspects of life through cinema, we screen and discuss works that unsettle, undo us and challenge our perceptions ~

L'UOMO IN PIÙ presented by Jellied Reels
1980, Naples. Antonio Pisapia is the star of a local football club at the top of his game. Antonio Pisapia is a flamboyant nightclub crooner at the height of his fame. Two men with the same name, living parallel lives. When both find themselves at career crossroads, can either keep their star in the ascendancy? Paolo Sorretino's (La Grande Bellezza, The Hand of God) melodramatic debut doesn't shy from the knotty vicissitudes of fame and ambition. With his trademark sense of vitality and stylish visual poetry, Sorrentino weaves a considered tale of doomed ego and unfaltering lust for life. Jellied Reels serves up monthly screenings of the best films you've never tried... For more details about our upcoming programme at The Castle - follow us here!

Colossal Wreck + Q&A
COLOSSAL WRECK takes us on an odyssey inside the COP28 climate conference in Dubai. Are these enormous get-togethers all about false promises that hinder change? Or are they the only hope we've got for world-saving unity? With his innocuous selfie-stick, filmmaker Josh Appignanesi moves unnoticed through Dubai's seductive slickness to reveal the talks, meetings and elite backroom parties behind the strange mixture of global cry for help and political posturing that is a COP. Lost in translation, he comes face to face with the irony of an oil baron hosting this last-chance climate saloon in a techno-utopian leisure city -- that, er, happens to be built in a burning desert. But then the business-as-usual is ruptured by a searing encounter with indigenous voices from the frontline of climate injustice... Stay around post-screening for a very special Q&A with director Josh Appignanesi

Power Station + director Q&A
Two artists in Walthamstow set out to take their street off the grid, kickstarting a solar-powered energy revolution. Inspired by lockdown mutual aid initiatives, artist-activists Hilary Powell and Dan Edelstyn decided to turn their street into an energy-generating powerhouse – a prototype for a new way of living, with the hope of galvanising a wider push towards sustainable alternatives. Directed by the duo, POWER STATION charts their turbulent journey, from pitching the idea to their neighbours and sleeping on the roof of their home, to raising finance and launching a bid for a Christmas number one single. By turns funny and heartwarming, Powell and Edelstyn’s film is a vibrant portrait of their local neighbourhood, and a charming testament to the power of art in changing minds about what could be possible. Join us after the screening for a Q&A with directors Hilary Powell and Dan Edelstyn.

NT Live: The Fifth Step
Olivier Award-winner Jack Lowden (Slow Horses, Dunkirk) is joined by Emmy and BAFTA-winner Martin Freeman (The Hobbit, The Responder) in the critically acclaimed and subversively funny new play by David Ireland. After years in the 12-step programme of Alcoholics Anonymous, James becomes a sponsor to newcomer Luka. The pair bond over black coffee, trade stories and build a fragile friendship out of their shared experiences. But as Luka approaches step five – the moment of confession – dangerous truths emerge, threatening the trust on which both of their recoveries depend. Finn den Hertog directs the provocative and entertaining production filmed live from @sohoplace on London’s West End.

THE COTTON CLUB presented by Jellied Reels
Amongst the smoky backrooms and bubbling champagne in Harlem's legendary jazz club, hotshot dancers and virtuoso musicians mingle with the criminal underbelly of 1930s New York. A (shortsightedly) critical and box-office flop on its initial release, Francis Ford Coppola's The Cotton Club has now been restored and recut by the director in a shimmering new 'Encore' version. A heady blend of crime, love, music and more, The Cotton Club is a flawless chorus line dedicated to the effervescent and rapturous beauty to be found amid the harshness of life.
