"We also have contemporary love story The Idea of You; an inspiring true tale of faith and community during extreme hardship, Ordinary Angels; exotic crime thriller Love Lies Bleeding from Saint Maud director Rose Glass and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, the ferocious and relentlessly paced spin-off and prequel.

“June’s dementia-friendly screening is Lerner and Lowe’s My Fair Lady, celebrating its 60th anniversary, and our popular Moviedrome strand brings Sally Potter's dazzling interpretation of Virginia Woolf's novel Orlando.

“And for Trekkies everywhere, we’ve the 40th anniversary re-issue of Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. This under-rated second part of a three-act story includes scene-stealing villain Christopher Lloyd. It would be illogical not to come along.”

Films at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in June are:

Love Lives Bleeding: starring Kristen Stewart, Katy O’Brian and Ed Harris. It’s 1989: a reclusive gym manager who is part of a crime family and an ambitious bodybuilder commit a string of murders when they get wrapped up in organised crime.
