Cinema in Dorset

Screenings in village halls, outdoor film nights, and the occasional arthouse gem. Popcorn usually optional, rustling frowned upon.

Outdoor Cinema - Paddington 2 (PG)

Paddington 2 was the rare instance of a sequel that surpassed its predecessor and since all licences to screen Harry Potter films have been held back this year for the launch of the new TV series, we are sure this popular family film crowd-pleaser will be a perfect swap. Paddington Brown is contentedly embedded with the Brown family in Windsor Gardens, with one mission: to buy Aunt Lucy the most beautiful pop-up book in London for her birthday. When it is stolen and our favourite bear finds himself wrongly convicted and dispatched to His Majesty's pleasure, the Browns must prove his innocence before the real culprit disappears. What follows is a gloriously daft, impeccably crafted caper that somehow manages to be simultaneously a prison comedy, a heist movie and a love letter to London - all without breaking a sweat. Pre film - YOU ARE ALSO US We are proud to screen the 15 minute dance film You are also Us, directed by Cathy Waller and performed by 15 dancers. It was filmed using ground-breaking drone technology in spectacular National Trust locations around Dorset. The film has been shown in film festivals internationally, picking up awards and honourable mentions and forms part of the You & Us touring triptych from Cathy Waller Company, examining themes of invisibility through photography, dance and film. Gates open from 7.30 pm to allow you time to pick a perfect place to sit, grab a drink and enjoy a picnic before the film. Film programme starts 8.30 pm

Outdoor Cinema - Wicked : For Good (PG)

Join Purbeck Film Festival for a screening of the premier musical phenomenon of recent years, the first part of this adaptation of the 20 year West End sensation was inescapable in 2024, taking nearly a billion dollars and setting social media ablaze with its two impossibly glamorous stars- pop queen Ariana Grande and the UK’s own Cynthia Evro as the “good” and “bad” witches. This sequel has even more songs and includes the arrival of Dorothy to Oz but puts fresh context on the classic tale, building to a finale that ties it all together beautifully. Pre film - YOU ARE ALSO US We are proud to screen the 15 minute dance film You are also Us, directed by Cathy Waller and performed by 15 dancers.

The film has been shown in film festivals internationally, picking up awards and honourable mentions and forms part of the You & Us touring triptych from Cathy Waller Company, examining themes of invisibility through photography, dance and film. Gates open from 7:30 pm to allow you plenty of time to pick a perfect place to sit, grab a drink and enjoy a picnic before the film. Film programme starts 8.30 pm (depending on levels of light).
