Nitrate
Experience the unique visual qualities of a volatile original nitrate film print, at the only cinema in the UK able to screen them publicly.
Opening Night: Mildred Pierce + World Premiere: A Dog Called Discord
An Academy Award-winning Joan Crawford stars in the great noir-meets-woman’s-picture, and looks resplendent in this original 1945 nitrate release print.
Blood and Sand
Mamoulian’s visually ravishing, powerfully erotic Technicolor melodrama about the rise and fall of a great Spanish matador looks sensational on a rare original nitrate print.
No Way Out
Sidney Poitier is a magnetic presence in his screen debut, in director Joseph L. Mankiewicz’s electrifying, unflinching thriller about racial prejudice in early-1950s America.
Service for Ladies (aka Reserved for Ladies)
Screening from the oldest print ever projected to a UK cinema audience, Alexander Korda’s delightful comic romance is a highlight of early British sound cinema.
