Set in rural Maharashtra, the film follows a Mumbai call-centre worker who returns to his ancestral village to observe the ten-day mourning ritual following his father’s death. He reconnects with a childhood friend and their bond deepens into a tender and intimate relationship, creating a quiet exploration of grief, identity and queer love within a traditional rural community.

New releases and restorations

Screening Fri-Sun, Wed and Thu
Mads Mikkelsen stars in this story of two brothers on an increasingly chaotic hunt for a missing fortune.

Blue Heron
Blue Heron (12A)
Screening Fri-Sun, Wed and Thu
Award-winning director Sophy Romvari’s feature debut is a lyrical and profound testament to the things we carry with us, masterfully chronicling the haze of a languid summer and the hyaline clarity of the moments that defined it.
“The result is both taut and expansive at 91 minutes; a singular and shattering family drama that is as elusive and woozy as your own childhood memories.” – Radio Times
Must-See Music on the Big Screen

With thanks to Hannah of Get Lost Yorkshire:
HeyOne of the things I love most about exploring Yorkshire is discovering the places that don't always make the guidebooks. Sometimes they're beautiful. This week, I've been thinking about Barnsley Main Colliery. Today, it's a surprisingly peaceful place. Gentle walking paths wind through green spaces and local volunteers are working tirelessly to preserve what remains of the old pit. But beneath that tranquillity lies one of the most significant – and heartbreaking – chapters in Yorkshire's industrial history. Many people don't realise that this was once the site of the Oaks Colliery disaster, one of the worst mining tragedies in British history. Visiting isn't just about seeing the old winding engine or wandering around the restored site. It's about understanding the lives of the men and boys who worked here, the families they left behind, and the community that refuses to let their stories be forgotten. What struck me most wasn't simply the history itself. It was meeting the volunteers who care so deeply about preserving it. Their passion for keeping these memories alive has transformed the site into somewhere that honours the past while creating something positive for future generations. It's one of those Hidden Yorkshire places that stays with you long after you've left. If you'd like to learn more about the history, what you'll find when you visit, and how to explore the site for yourself, I've put together a full guide here. I hope you'll take a few minutes to discover this important piece of Yorkshire's story. Until our next adventure, P.S. Yorkshire's history isn't just castles and stately homes. Some of its most fascinating places are the ones hidden in plain sight. Barnsley Main Colliery is definitely one of them, and I think everyone should know its story. ❤️ Yorkshire Events What's on in Yorkshire this weekend?Here's a glimpse of what's on in Yorkshire this weekend 👀 West Yorkshire: Bradford Literature Festival opens this Saturday and runs until 6th July, with inspiring talks, poetry, panel discussions, and performances from a diverse line-up of voices at venues across the city.
