Staff Picks
Each month we'll have a one-off screening of a movie that a member of our staff loves. It doesn't have to fit in to our programming model in any way, it just has to be a title close to their heart. Maybe it's a cherished childhood film. Or maybe it's an experimental piece that will CHANGE YOUR LIFE (I can't believe you haven't seen this one!). Or maybe it's the best thing they've seen recently that we weren't able to otherwise get on our calendar.
