Happyend

Thu. 30 Oct. 2025, 8pm 

Director: Neo Sora
Cast: Makiko Watanabe, Yûta Hayashi, Ayumu Nakajima
Info: 113 min, Japan/United States, 2024, Japanese

Holy Cow

Thu. 6 Nov. 2025, 8pm 

Director: Louise Courvoisier
Cast: Clément Faveau, Luna Garret, Mathis Bertrand, Dimitry Baudry, Maïwene Barthelemy
Info: 92 mins | France | 2024 | CLUB

Eighteen-year-old Totone spends most of his time with his friends drinking and having fun. But when circumstances change, Totone must become more responsible and find the means to provide for himself and his young sister. He sets his sights on making the best Comté cheese, so that he can win the top prize of €30,000 at the regional agricultural competition.

Louise Courvoisier’s impressive first-time feature has been an unexpected hit in her native France. Drawing on her own upbringing in the rural Jura region where Holy Cow is set, and featuring a cast of mostly young non-actors, the result is a joyful and authentic story of one young man’s coming of age. A little gem of a film.

 


Santosh

Thu. 13 Nov. 2025, 8pm 

Director: Sandhya Suri
Cast: Shahana Goswami, Sunita Rajwar, Nawal Shukla
Info: 128 mins | UK, India, Germany, France | 2024 | 15

In rural India, 28-year-old Santosh avails of a scheme to inherit her late husband’s job as a police officer. A diligent worker, she is taken under the wing of an older officer while investigating a young woman’s murder. The investigation reveals disturbing truths about class divides, as well as the troubling lengths Santosh’s colleagues will go to to find a culprit.

This feature debut from the British-Indian filmmaker Sandhya Suri is a sharp, probing study of police corruption and deep-rooted social tensions in modern India. Led by an impressively restrained and nuanced central performance from Sahana Goswami, Santosh boldly sets itself apart from other police procedurals through its richly-drawn setting, themes and characters.


Christy

Thu. 20 Nov. 2025, 8pm 

Director: Brendan Canty
Cast: Danny Power, Diarmuid Noyes, Alison Oliver, Emma Willis
Info: 94 mins | Ireland | 2025 | 15A

When 17-year-old Christy is kicked out of his foster home for attacking his foster brother, he is released into the care of his half-brother Shane, and back to the community of his childhood. Having tragically lost his mother when he was very young, he has no sense of connection to the place or it’s people and he struggles to settle in. But slowly the local community start to connect with Christy, helping him finally feel like he may have found somewhere to call home.                                   

Brendan Canty’s debut feature, based on a short of the same name, is a love song to the truest sense of community, with moments of pure joy and fun that break through the bleaker moments.
