-- January 6, 2024, 4:45 pm: Movie- TWO TICKETS TO GREECE (4.45pm) Three fabulous femmes - Laure Calamy, Olivia Côte and Kristin Scott Thomas - star in the wildly entertaining new comedy from writer/director Marc Fitoussi (Folies Bergère, Call My Agent!) about estranged childhood friends who tentatively reunite for a trip to the Greek Islands.
LE PARISIEN, 4/5 Stars "Wonderful! There is a charm to this bittersweet comedy of two forty-somethings who seek to reinvent their lives. At the end, we are happy and a little sad like coming back from a trip, when everything did not go exactly as planned, but we had some wonderful encounters.
Catherine Balle "
Recently divorced, and watching helplessly as her only son leaves home, Blandine (Côte) is struggling to find her footing again. So when her former best friend Magalie (a scene-stealing Calamy), loud and fearless, suddenly resurfaces, she allows herself to be spontaneous for a change... The two will take the trip they always dreamed of as teenagers, to Amorgos, the amazing location where Luc Besson's The Big Blue was shot.
But as they head off towards their destination, it's soon apparent that Magalie's very different approach to holidaying - and to life - could lead Blandine to her breaking point...and beyond!
TWO TICKETS TO GREECE is an out-and-out crowd-pleaser, a breezily delightful tale of female camaraderie, stoked by laughter, tears and, of course, great scenery.

Cast: Laure Calamy, Olivia Côte, Kristin Scott Thomas

-- February 17, 2024, 7:30 pm: Movie- HOW TO HAVE SEX (7.30pm) Three teenage girlfriends navigate sex, consent, and friendships old and new on a euphoric post-exams vacation on a Greek party island.

It’s supposed to be the best summer ever. Tara, Skye and Em touch down on the Greek party resort of Malia for the vacation to end all vacations, the girls trip every British teenager ticks off at the cusp of adulthood. Tara, the last remaining virgin, is on a mission to change that: and her best friends are causing chaos right alongside her.

Making her debut feature with a vibrant, compassionate look at sex, friendship and the sweet smell of a boozy sunburned summer holiday, director and cinematographer Molly Manning Walker (Scrapper, Good Thanks, You?) paints an exhilarating, moving, and painfully familiar portrait of young adulthood.Director: Molly Manning Walker
