Through The Lens: A Director's Retrospective
Bringing you classic films from our most beloved directors and actors.
Through The Lens: Musicians on Screen
10 April - 21 May
From powdered wigs to prison stages, this retrospective charts the restless, intoxicating lives behind the music. Spanning eras and genres, it pairs the feverish genius of Amadeus with the raw reinvention of A Better Man, the bruised romance and redemption of Walk The Line, and the elusive mythmaking of A Complete Unknown. These films don’t just recount careers, they immerse us in obsession, ego, vulnerability, and the cost of creation. Together, they form a chorus of ambition and contradiction, inviting audiences to reconsider how legends are made, unmade, and remembered.
Want another musical legend biopic to watch? Michael is in cinemas from Wednesday 22 April.
