SUMMARY:Thirteen Lives: dir Ron Howard (2022)
DESCRIPTION:Ron Howard’s dramatisation of the incredible rescue of 12 boys and their football coach from the Tham Luang Nang Non cave system in 2018. Trapped following an unexpected rainstorm\, a team of world-class divers navigated through miles of dangerous cave networks to find the boys – but finding them was only the beginning. Viggo Mortensen\, Colin Farrell\, and Joel Edgerton star. Howard\, who knows how to ramp up the tension in a true-life near-disaster (he did Apollo 13\, after all) delivers a gripping survival drama built on tension\, realism\, and quiet heroism. Another good pick in Cinema Space’s continuing programme of free screenings …

SUMMARY:Cinderella: dir  Wilfred Jackson\, Hamilton Luske\, Clyde Geronimi (1950)
DESCRIPTION:Walt Disney spent more than a decade developing this animated film version of the fairy tale about a beleaguered girl\, tormented by her unsympathetic stepmother and stepsisters\, who gets a chance at romance and a better future through the intervention of her fairy godmother. Disney had the entire film staged with live actors to create reference footage for the animators to work from … This beautifully restored version looks like a great Sunday morning treat for the family.

An instant international phenomenon\, this hard-hitting epic stunned audiences with its violence\, gritty realism and tongue-in-cheek humour … Essential viewing and another good pick in Cinema Space’s continuing programme of free screenings.

SUMMARY:Familiar Touch: dir Sarah Friedland (2024)
DESCRIPTION:A coming-of-old-age story with real compassion: writer-director Sarah Friedland’s story follows the octogenarian Ruth Goldman (noted stage actress Kathleen Chalfant – “an astonishingly nuanced\, considered and graceful performance” said the Guardian review) as she copes with dementia and her shifting\, fading memories in an assisted living facility. “Friedland explores the human mind in all its frailness and glory” said Sight & Sound of this gentle life-affirming drama. Another great Cinema Space pick\, at a great price …

SUMMARY:The Glassworker: dir Usman Riaz (2024)
DESCRIPTION:First-time director Usman Riaz embraces the old-fashioned star-crossed romance with a beautifully animated film about a young glassblowing artist and his lost love. At the same time it’s a truly humanist\, demonstrating how art and creativity can provide solace and strength even in the darkest times. It’s Pakistan’s first hand-drawn animated film\, inspired by the films of Studio Ghibli and ten years in the making. Another good pick in Cinema Space’s continuing programme of free screenings.

SUMMARY:For A Few Dollars More: dir Sergio Leone (1965)
DESCRIPTION:The second chapter in Sergio Leone’s epic Dollars Trilogy ups the ante with more tension\, more grit\, and a bigger budget thanks the success of the first outing for the Man With No Name. This time around two rival bounty killers (Clint Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef) are hunting the same target\, the outlaw known as El Indio (Gian Maria Volonté). Forming an uneasy alliance\, the pair infiltrate El Indio’s gang … Leone’s mythic\, feverish vision of the traditional Western is packed with unforgettable visuals\, a great slow-burning score\, and sharp storytelling. This beautifully restored print is totally uncut (expect some blood!) and represents another good pick in Cinema Space’s continuing programme of free screenings.

SUMMARY:The President's Cake: dir Hasan Hadi (2025)
DESCRIPTION:Hasan Hadi’s debut feature is a beautiful tale of love\, friendship and resilience told from the perspective of a child growing up under Saddam Hussein’s oppressive regime. It was the first Iraqi film to feature at the Cannes Film Festival\, where it premiered in the Directors’ Fortnight and won both the section’s Audience Award and the Camera d’Or. \nNine-year-old Lamia (the unselfconsciously excellent Baneen Ahmad Nayyef) is required by her school to make a birthday cake for the Iraqi president. Lamia sets off into town with her grandmother Bibi (Waheed Thabet Khreibat) and her pet cockerel Hindi; as she shops for sanctioned and hard-to-find ingredients\, she meets a series of vivid characters\, some very engaging and at least one pretty creepy. The results are highly engaging\, and the cake climax is worth the wait … Highly recommended\, and kudos to Cinema Space for finding this little gem for its programme of free screening. \n
