Strictly Ballroom

Now in dazzling 4K for the first time, Baz Luhrmann’s iconic debut feature follows Scott Hastings, a male dancer who refuses to follow the accepted rules of ballroom dancing and creates his own style of choreography, infuriating the ballroom dancing establishment.

Before he’s scheduled to compete in the championships, he’s forced to take up a new partner, a beginner who initially seems without promise. With his help, she turns into an assured and wonderful dancer.

Holy Days

1970s New Zealand. Young Brian is devastated by the loss of his mother and determined to stop his dad from marrying again. Convinced he can reach his mother through prayer; Brian finds refuge at a run-down convent with three delightfully eccentric elderly nuns.

When he hears news of plans to shut the convent down, he joins three of the nuns on a wild and heartwarming road trip in search of a former nun-turned lawyer who might just save them all. Holy Days is a joyful comedy packed with heart, humour and hijinks.

Savage House

Set against the backdrop of 18th century England, a massive Pox outbreak, and a Jacobite Uprising – this is a darkly satirical story of Sir Chauncey Savage and Lady Savage. They despise each other, their house is falling apart, and they are disliked in polite society. When a higher-ranking nobleman is set to visit them, the honour gives them a renewed energy to make sure the House of Savage is looking as impressive as possible.
