From acclaimed writer/director Miranda July (The Future, Me and You and Everyone We Know) comes a profoundly moving and wildly original comedy. Kajillionaire starts this Friday at the Twin and stars Evan Rachel Wood, Debra Winger and Richard Jenkins as a family of con artists... a film that explores what 'family' truly is!

Also new at is the Twin The Artist's Wife, with legendary actors Lena Olin & Bruce Dern as an older couple grappling with the loss of time. It's a film that will build your perspective on getting older, family love and preserving what we have.

You can almost hear The Jesus and Mary Chain strum off the final shot of Lost in Translation, which has three screenings with us. 2003 seems like forever ago when the film received its KW premiere at the Princess, but this is a timeless story that needs to be revisited on the big screen. Get tickets. A one-night-only screening this Saturday for the punk rock doc, White Riot, “inspirational, powerful, and entertaining...a handful of punk rock royalty present the story of Rock Against Racism, the National Front, and 70s British underground music.” - Cinapse.

Dabbling into two different forms of art this week... the sci-fi anime classic Ghost in the Shell comes to the Princess for limited screenings, while the Canadian indigenous arts documentary Haida Modern opens up at the Twin, featuring the incredible art of Robert Davidson.

If you didn't get a chance to check out The Nest, make sure you do this week as it's garnering rave reviews from audiences and critics... "one of the most haunting and impressive works of the year". Also continuing is Radioactive, which tells the true story of science pioneer, Marie Curie, portrayed by the always wonderful Rosamund Pike. Finally, we're giving you a chance to see George Miller's masterpiece, Mad Max: Fury Road on the big screen again. It's a post-apocalyptic, continuous chase, and feels just about right at the moment! See it at the Original this week.

Haida Modern

14A

Director Charles Wilkinson's evocative documentary beautifully explores how the artist Robert Davidson brought Haida culture back to its people.

In the 50 years since he carved his first totem pole and saw it raised on Haida Gwaii, Robert Davidson has come to be regarded as one of the world’s foremost modern artists. And yet, in the insightful interviews captured here, he retains a remarkably soft-spoken manner and a charming humility that belies what an influential figure he’s become in both the realms of art and activism.

Lost in Translation

"Effectively balancing humor and subtle pathos, Sofia Coppola crafts a moving, melancholy story that serves as a showcase for both Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson" - Rotten Tomatoes

Pink Floyd: The Wall

"The film is explosively wild, raw, primitive, sometimes inarticulate. It is also totally theatrical and compelling. It's film as primal scream; seething with anger, alienation and despair." - Boston Globe

"The 1982 film version of the rock opera Pink Floyd: The Wall is without question the best of all serious fiction films devoted to rock. Alan Parker, a director who seemed to deliberately choose widely varied projects, here collaborates with Gerald Scarfe, a biting British political caricaturist, to make what is essentially an experimental indie.
