CALIFORNIA SCHEMIN' 2025 | Dir James McAvoy | UK | USA | 107 min Stars: Séamus McLean Ross, Samuel Bottomley, James McAvoy Based on an outrageous true story, California Schemin’ is a sharp, high-energy tale of ambition, identity, and musical make-believe. In the early 2000s in Dundee, aspiring rappers Gavin Bain and Billy Boyd are told they’re “too Scottish” for hip hop, so they reinvent themselves as Californian duo Silibil N’ Brains. Against all odds, the ruse works — record deals, media hype, and brushes with hip hop royalty follow. Funny yet moving, it’s a love letter to underdogs, but how far can you chase a dream built on a lie? A crowd pleasing directorial debut from the much loved actor, James McAvoy. Thursday 04 June at 2.30pm and 7.30pm (HOH) Get Tickets

AKIRA

AKIRA 1998 | Dir Katsuhiro Ôtomo | Japan | 125 min Stars: Mami Koyama, Mitsuo Iwata, Nozomu Sasaki From visionary director Katsuhiro Ôtomo — creator of the original manga serial — comes the landmark cyberpunk animation. Set in the neon-drenched sprawl of Neo-Tokyo, a military experiment goes catastrophically wrong, when a teenage biker is transformed into an unstable psychic force of terrifying power. As the city teeters on the edge of destruction, only his closest friend stands between humanity and annihilation. Bold, visceral and visually breathtaking, Akira remains the defining masterpiece of Japanese animation. Japanese with English subtitles. Saturday 06 June at 2.00pm. Contains a sequence of flashing lights which might affect those who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy. Get Tickets
