The Stephen Joseph film programmer, Steve Carley, says: “Along with films by A-list directors – Ridley Scott's House of Gucci and Spielberg's first musical, West Side Story – we have some smaller, but no less impressive titles, including the ever-reliable Olivia Colman in The Lost Daughter and Benedict Cumberbatch in The Electrical Life of Louis Wain.

“I’m also excited to see Petite Maman: critic Mark Kermode said ‘it goes straight into my list of the greatest films ever made for children of all ages’.

“All that, plus the welcome return of our ever-popular live-streaming season from the National Theatre and a musical extravaganza from the legendary Bill Murray – it makes for a very exciting mix.”
