Summer Holiday Cinema: Future TX

After partnering on the FES Film Festival earlier this year and showcasing some incredible films made by local filmmakers, this time we are bringing a brilliant new family film to Whitehill & Bordon. Future TX is a fun and fast-paced sci-fi thriller for all the family. When Dylan and Molly get their first mobile phones, they receive a mysterious phone call from the future. Suddenly, their normal lives are turned upside down as they're entrusted with a unique and dangerous mission to save the world. Can our brave heroes follow the clues (and dodge the bad guys) to save the day?

Holmes & Watson: The Curious Case of the Masked Magician

"TELL ME EVERYTHING, HOLMES"It’s 1906 - the Golden Age of Magic. The Masked Magician bestrides London’s world of Magic like a colossus, UNTIL…one night, in mid-performance, the Magician vanishes. Dead? Kidnapped? In hiding? After a month Scotland Yard is baffled (obviously) and call in Sherlock Holmes to solve the mystery of the Masked Magician’s disappearance. Holmes (with an excitable Watson in tow) plunges into the secret world of Edwardian Magic only to find that the Masked Magician’s identity is Magic's best kept secret. As they question the Magician‘s peers (seeing a lot of Magic), the mystery of his fate deepens. As they unravel clue after clue, Holmes comes to share Watson’s wonder and discovers that it can sit alongside his logical outlook. When Holmes finally uncovers the startling and surprising secrets of the Masked Magician he, Watson and the audience have to decide...are some mysteries best left as...mysteries?!
