New films from Fri 19 December

See what's on including Avatar: Fire and Ash, Christmas films, I Swear and more.

Legendary filmmaker James Cameron transports audiences back to the breathtaking world of Pandora in Avatar: Fire and Ash, arriving at DCA this week. This immersive new adventure sees the peace of the Na’vi community threatened by the arrival of a new clan.

We’ve brought back inspiring Scottish story I Swear, and there’s another chance to see Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. You can also see a tribute to a Dundee legend with Michael Marra – High Sobriety – Live at the Bonar Hall, 2000.

It’s almost Christmas, and we’ve got festive films to get you into the spirit. The whole family will love The Muppet Christmas Carol, How the Grinch Stole Christmas and our pyjama party screenings of The Polar Express, we’ve got vintage classics It’s a Wonderful Life and White Christmas and there’s alternative fun to be had with Gremlins and Die Hard. Enjoy!
