      Published 10/11/25, by Susan Braidley
      Wednesday 3 December
      5.00pm and 7.30pm
      Van Gogh: Poets and Lovers (12A)
      200 years after its opening and a century after acquiring its first Van Gogh works, the National Gallery hosted the UK's biggest ever Van Gogh exhibition. Van Gogh is not only one of the most beloved artists of all time, but perhaps the most misunderstood. This film is a chance to re-examine and better understand this iconic artist. Focusing on his unique creative process, Van Gogh: Poets and Lovers explores the artist's years in the south of France, where he revolutionised his style. Explore the passion which drove one of the world’s favourite artists to change art forever. Van Gogh: Poets & Lovers celebrates Van Gogh’s genius, enabling its audience to truly understand this iconic artist in a brand new way…

      Wednesday 10 December
      4.45pm and 7.30pm
      The Salt Path (12A)
      Based on the controversial memoir by Raynor Winn, this is the story of how she and her ailing husband (played by Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs) set out on a 630-mile trek along the Cornish, Devon and Dorset coastline. After being evicted from their home, they make the desperate decision to walk in the hope that, in nature, they will find solace and a sense of acceptance. With depleted resources, only a tent and some essentials between them, every step along the path is a testament to their growing strength and determination.

      Information common to both films
