Twenty-six years after outrunning a suspiciously familiar masked killer, the Core Four are back in the killer's crosshairs and no horror movie IP is safe.

BAFTA Award-winner Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread) joins Aidan Turner (Rivals) in a striking new staging of Christopher Hampton’s celebrated adaptation of the classic novel, where among the glittering salons of the super-rich, one misstep can mean ruin. Marquise de Merteuil is a master in the art of survival. Alongside the magnetic Vicomte de Valmont, they turn seduction into strategy and weaponise desire. But when their alliance collapses into rivalry, the battle between them threatens to destroy everyone in their path. Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Marianne Elliott (Angels in America) directs this thrilling game of love, lies, and social warfare.

The Deben Valley
A rare outing for a late sixties black and white Suffolk film 'gem'. A charming exploration of the river and the people who live by its banks, presented by the BBC's Robert Dougall and his wife. The only surviving copy of the film was nearly lost forever, but rescued from obscurity by Leiston movie collector James Cecil. (Preceded by a short intro film about James Cecil and his amazing film collection)

Life on the Deben
Is a lyrical journey along one of Suffolk's most beautiful and storied rivers. Presented by John McCarthy, the film drifts from the river's sources near Debenham to Woodbridge and on to the North sea at Felixstowe, uncovering tales of landscape, heritage, and the people shaped by the waterway. With stunning cinematography, evocative music, and a deep sense of place, it's both a love letter to the Deben and a thought-provoking film that leaves you seeing the river and the county in a whole new light

We Fought Them In Gunboats
This Suffolk double bill features two films by Tim Curtis who made Life on the Deben and begins with We Fought Them in Gunboats, a film about the heroes of HMS Beehive, the Coastal Forces base at Felixstowe Dock (now part of the Port of Felixstowe), who took on the German E-Boats in the North Sea during the Second World War.
