What makes a CineMaster?

Years of experience, global renown, a career of landmark films and a public fascination with every move they make - and that’s just for starters.

Our ongoing season celebrates directors and key figures from filmmaking history, and gives you the opportunity to watch their work on the big screen.

Cinemasters: Mike Leigh

The great humanist of British cinema, Mike Leigh is renowned for his tragicomedies centring on working-class families. Beginning his career in theatre and television, he has a Palme d'Or, a Golden Lion, three BAFTAs and seven Oscar nominations under his belt, and he shows no signs of slowing down with the release of his fifteenth film, Hard Truths, in January.

Our CineMasters season will bring four of Leigh's greatest works – Life is Sweet, Secrets & Lies, Topsy-Turvy and Vera Drake – back to the big screen, and we're especially excited to be screening Topsy-Turvy from a 35mm print. The season will culminate with a preview screening of Hard Truths on Sunday 26 January, followed by a Q&A with actor Michele Austin.

Hard Truths will play from Friday 31 January - Thursday 13 February, and director Mike Leigh will join us via Zoom for a live Q&A following the screening on Tuesday 4 February at 7.30pm.
