This Week: Hail, Caesar!
I figured I'd send this one out promptly just to make sure it was at the top of your minds this term! Once again, we've got a cracking lineup for you, with NT Live Encore screenings of A View from the Bridge and The Audience.
Want to try your hand at running a cinema? You might have missed our give-it-a-go, but fret not! Come along to one of our regular screenings (yes, the ones listed below) about 30 minutes before doors open, and head into the Concert Hall - we'll be there, just come and say hi! The usual reminder: if you plan on coming to more than 3 showings, then our Discount Pass is worth it, even in the last term of the year! Buy it online and save money on your tickets (£3 instead of £4, first ticket is free, sadly no discount on NT Live performances). - Luke, Cinema Chair 15/16

In the midst of a vast ocean stands the Elysium Tower – a glistening vertical city – a sanctuary for challenging times. Powered by sun and earth, designed by the greatest architectural visionary of the new millennium, Elysium is a self contained world. A world of commerce, cuisine and entertainment, featuring restaurants, swimming pools, libraries, cinemas, even a research hospital. It is not just the tallest and most technologically advanced work of modern architecture, but one that embodies the world's highest aspirations. Dr. Robert Laing, a new arrival, settles in and adjusts to this hermetic life. But before long he becomes aware of something unsettling in the building. In an escalating atmosphere of unrest the residents break into tribal factions. Laing watches in horror as the myth of a utopian society is shattered.

For sixty years Elizabeth II has met each of her twelve Prime Ministers in a weekly audience at Buckingham Palace – a meeting like no other in British public life – it is private. Both parties have an unspoken agreement never to repeat what is said. Not even to their spouses. The Audience breaks this contract of silence – and imagines a series of pivotal meetings between the Downing Street incumbents and their Queen. From Churchill to Cameron, each Prime Minister has used these private conversations as a sounding board and a confessional – sometimes intimate, sometimes explosive.
