We're off to the sunny lakes of Finland for the school holidays this week: Glenn Close gives a signature star turn as a loving grandmother in the adaptation of Tove Jansson's The Summer Book. This festival favourite joins the record-breaking Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which continues this week, along with Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey.

Dr. Brian Hoyle from the University of Dundee will introduce the screenings of Andrei Rublev and the 40th anniversary of Tarkovsky's final film The Sacrifice (in beautiful 4K).
