With another year of excellent cinema coming to a close, we are bringing some of our favourite films of 2024 back to the big screen.

This Noirvember we’re screening a selection of five films noir from the heyday of Columbia Pictures, with the theme of doomed romance at their centre. Celebrating the centenary of the studio in 2024, and featuring a rich shared palette of stars, from Humphrey Bogart to Rita Hayworth, the noirs made by Columbia Pictures in this postwar period have proven endlessly popular over the decades, perhaps because their existential despair and geometric visual style never feel antiquated.

Before Emma Seligman and Rachel Sennott made the hilarious high school comedy Bottoms, there was SHIVA BABY.

With roughly 200 credits under his belt, both big-screen and small, Donald Sutherland, was just as likely to turn up in a straight to VHS title as he was an Oscar winner. His vast filmography reveals an actor who enjoyed and was committed to his craft no matter what the project. From original director-driven works like M*A*S*H and Klute to IP-backed action franchises like the hugely successful Hunger Games series, Sutherland was a shape shifter, at home in any genre. A proud…

Twenty-Five years on… Would you have taken the red or blue pill? Did you think those students were really lost in the woods? Were you tempted to an elitist cult or clique? 1999, a year that surely shaped modern cinema, laying the groundwork for a new era of teen superstars and visionary directors.

There's nothing the movies like more than a fugitive. Whether it is running from the law, a dangerous ex, poor choices or an evil psychopath, there's drama to be found in all of these situations. Sometimes our heroes and heroines are innocent but sometimes not, and we find ourselves rooting for them all the same.
