Film and streaming programme at Scarborough's Stephen Joseph Theatre for August

The film programmer, Steve Carley, said: “A great mix for August! We have drama with the ever-reliable Olivia Colman in Joyride, and the film version of one of the best-selling books of all time: Where the Crawdads Sing.

“Then we have family fun with the new Minions movie, the latest in World Cinema with The Big Hit, and a fascinating documentary on the wonderful Eric Ravilious.

“For music fans we have the much-anticipated return of André Rieu’s Maastricht Concert, and to celebrate the summer holidays, we have a special screening of Cliff Richard’s classic Summer Holiday.

“Plus, to celebrate our production of Brief Encounter, we have a short David Lean season, including an 80th-anniversary screening of In Which We Serve, the epic Doctor Zhivago, and the iconic Brief Encounter itself.”
