Just programming for Boxing Day onwards and we are VERY excited about THIS:

Join us for our next screening with discussion hosted by Cinemas of the Mind.

Rural England, 1865. Katherine is stifled by her loveless marriage to a bitter man twice her age, whose family are cold and unforgiving. When she embarks on a passionate affair with a young worker on her husband's estate, a force is unleashed inside her, so powerful that she will stop at nothing to get what she wants. 'Exploring complex themes of oppression, morality and sexuality, this gripping costume drama has provocative modern day resonance.' - Matthew Turner, iNews Screened as part of Cinemas of the Mind, providing a chance to meet informally for a discussion after the film. The discussion will be facilitated by Dr Jake Harvey, a forensic psychiatrist and Jenny Leeburn, a psychoanalytic psychotherapist, who both love film. Whilst the focus will be on the emotional and psychological aspects of the film, the club is very much open to everyone and all perspectives, views and ideas are most welcome. We will meet 15 mins after the end of the film in the studio for about an hour. Feel free to bring a drink/ snack in with you. The discussion is optional but we hope you'll join us. Cinemas of the Mind, part of the Arts Forum of Psychotherapy Sussex, has been running post screening events since 2001. CPD certificates are available on request.

We're very excited to be collaborating with the Lewes branch of the British Science Association to present Lewes Sci-screen - a series of films with talks on science.

Depot is pleased to introduce a new thread for sci-fi fans and those with an interest in science. We present Lewes Sci-screen, organised by the Lewes branch of the British Science Association and Depot cinema. Sci-screen combines the screening of a film containing science elements with a short talk and discussion on a topic relevant to the film. We start on 30 January with the Ridley Scott classic, Alien. After a space merchant vessel perceives an unknown transmission as a distress call, its landing on the source moon finds one of the crew attacked by a mysterious lifeform, and they soon realise that its life cycle has merely begun. Following the film, Dr Stephen Wilkins, an Astronomer at the University of Sussex, will discuss the discovery of thousands of planets outside our own solar system and the prospect for one day detecting life on one of them. Other films scheduled to feature in the thread include Gravity, The Martian and Interstellar.

Bagpus has accumulated quite a lot of lost property and placed it in the window in case the owner should happen to pass by

This short filmmaking course explores your memories of Lewes; which memory of the town puts a smile on your face? What do you feel when you think about that memory? Those attending the course will work with award-winning filmmaker Helmie Stil to make a short film, as a group. The course will end with a film evening when we will watch the films produced on a big screen. The course runs on eight consecutive Thursdays from Jan 25 – Mar 15, 10:30 – 12:30. Course fee: £120

Eighty-six-year-old Marjorie spends her final, ailing days with a computerised version of her deceased husband. With the intent to recount their life together, Marjorie's "Prime" relies on the information from her and her kin to develop a more complex understanding of his history. As their interactions deepen, the family begins to develop ever diverging recounts of their lives, drawn into the chance to reconstruct the often painful past. Tuesday evening's screening will be followed by a question and answer session on issues around dementia awareness, including contributions from Esther Watts and other guests (to be announced). Depot is developing a programme of dementia friendly screenings to be unveiled in the coming weeks. Built around exceptional performances from a veteran cast, Marjorie Prime shines a light on an often-obscured corner in the world of artificial intelligence and its interactions with mortality. Bringing us robustly into the future, Michael Almaryeda's poetic film forces us to face the question: If we had the opportunity, how would we choose to rebuild the past, and what would we decide to forget?
