When Society Fractured, Music Took Over Late 80s.

In an England suffocated by unemployment and Margaret Thatcher’s policies, a generation found refuge and a voice in music. In abandoned factories and secret fields, underground raves were born - explosions of light and sound where thousands of youth escaped social oppression to the rhythm of a new musical genre: breakbeat. Fusing the raw intensity of Detroit techno, the warmth of Chicago house, and the energy of New York hip hop, breakbeat shattered all the rules. Syncopated rhythms, powerful basslines, and limitless production fueled by samplers and synthesizers gave birth to a sound that was not just danced to - it was an act of rebellion.

An electrifying journey into the heart of the rave revolution, from the first illegal beats in England to its global explosion. Through never-before-seen archival footage, interviews with the most underground pioneers, and a soundtrack that still resonates today, this documentary unveils the story of a movement that transformed music, culture, and the very essence of nightlife.

More than a genre. More than a scene. A legacy that still beats.

Two of Britain’s greatest painters, J.M.W. Turner and John Constable were also the greatest of rivals. Born within a year of each other, both used landscape painting to reflect the changing world around them. Tate Britain is bringing these two greats together for a groundbreaking exhibition, in London from November 2025 to April 2026, and Exhibition on Screen once again has exclusive and privileged access to bring their extraordinary art and remarkable stories to the big screen in March 2026 so that both can be enjoyed together. Don’t miss this opportunity to see these greats side-by-side, as they so often were in life, on the big screen for the first time.

Turner’s blazing sunsets and sublime scenes from his travels and Constable’s idealised depictions of beloved places from home whipped the public of the time into a frenzy of enthusiasm. Critics compared their starkly different styles to a clash of ‘fire and water’.

Marking 250 years since their births, this unmissable new documentary explores Turner and Constable’s intertwined lives and legacies alongside the groundbreaking Tate exhibition. Discover unexpected sides to both artists with intimate views of sketchbooks and personal items and insights from leading experts. This is not to be missed.

Frances Barber stars as Billie Trix — icon, radical, existentialist, and complete disaster — in this bold and hilarious one-woman odyssey through the 20th and 21st Centuries. From post-war Berlin to the New York art scene, from folk duos to disco comebacks, Billie Trix has done it all — often naked, usually high, and always on her own terms. Drawing on her warped memories, lost loves, and chaotic career, Billie delivers a savage, surreal monologue that collides memoir, stand-up, and cabaret. Blending monologue with original songs by The Pet Shop Boys, MUSIK is a genre- defying exploration of fame, failure, and fierce individuality — wrapped in sequins and spiked with satire. At once riotous and poignant, this cult show returns as a filmed stage event that cements Billie Trix’s place in the pantheon of outsider icons. As she says herself: “I am music. Ich bin Musik. Without me, there is nothing.”

The Loft Movie Theatre is excited to present a very special double-bill screening of James Cameron's sci-fi action classics, The Terminator (1984) and Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991).

The Terminator (1984)

In the year 1984, Los Angeles college student Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) finds herself the target of a seemingly unstoppable hitman, hell-bent on wiping out all LA citizens with the same name.

But when she is dramatically rescued by a mysterious stranger claiming to be a soldier of the human resistance army from the post-apocalyptic future of 2029, she learns that 'The Terminator' (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is actually a T-800 - an android killing machine sent from the same time to locate and assassinate the mother of a John Connor - the future leader of the human resistance and the enemy of his creators.

With the fate of mankind in their hands, Sarah Connor and Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn) must do everything in their power to prevent the deadly cyborg from carrying out his orders and changing the course of history forever.

With an iconic performance from Arnold Schwarzenegger and unforgettable practical effects from Stan Winston, The Terminator is the B-Movie-turned-Blockbuster that spawned a billion-dollar movie franchise.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)

Eleven years after the T-800 failed its mission, a more advanced cyborg (Robert Patrick) is sent from the same post-apocalyptic future on an assignment to kill Sarah's ten-year old son, John. The 'T-1000' is a more advanced machine, seemingly indestructible, with shape-shifting capabilities, and a relentless drive to complete its mission. But as the T-1000 starts to zone in on its target, the John Connor of the future sends back a re-programmed T-800 to protect his younger self and destroy the newer model.

With adrenalised action, dramatic showdowns, time travel quandaries and ground-breaking CGI, Terminator 2 is one of the most successful and well-loved film sequels of all time.

Sometimes the wrong place is right where you need to be. From Will Packer, the blockbuster producer of Girls Trip, the Ride Along franchise, and ten movies that have opened No. 1 at the U.S. box office--including Night School, This Christmas and Think Like a Man--comes a delicious romantic comedy about one little lie, one large Italian villa, and two people getting lost in the sauce of love. Halle Bailey (The Little Mermaid, The Color Purple) stars as Anna, a young woman who has abandoned her dreams of becoming a chef and is now drifting through her twenties with a series of bad choices. When Anna loses her house-sitting job (and housing) in one fell swoop, a chance encounter with Matteo--a handsome Italian who happens to have a villa sitting empty in Tuscany--will inspire her to jet off for Italy, against the advice of her always-honest bestie, Claire (Home Before Dark's Aziza Scott). But Anna's plan to crash at Matteo's villa, without permission, just for one night, falls apart when Matteo's mother, Gabriella (Italian film icon Isabella Ferrari) shows up at the house unexpectedly. In a panic, Anna allows Gabriella to believe that she is Matteo's fiancée. That little lie becomes a big problem, though, when Matteo's cousin, Michael (Regé-Jean Page; Bridgerton, Black Bag) shows up, and Anna discovers that the heat between them may ignite a fire that will transform her life.
