Wonka, from Fri 8 Dec.

This December at Macrobert Arts Centre, we're thrilled to present a captivating film programme with something for everyone. For families and animation enthusiasts, we have the magical Wish, a heartwarming Disney animated feature that explores the power of wishes during the holiday season. Join us as we follow endearing characters on a journey of self-discovery and the realisation that sometimes the most magical moments are the ones we create for ourselves.

Continuing the enchantment, Paul King's Wonka invites audiences to step into a reimagined world of Roald Dahl's beloved character. This long-awaited prequel will captivate with its imaginative storytelling and visually stunning portrayal of Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. It promises to be a treat for both fans of the original story and newcomers alike.

For those seeking a real-life underdog story with heart and more than a touch of humour, Taika Waititi's Next Goal Wins is a must-see. This film follows the American Samoa soccer team's journey to redemption on and off the field. Waititi's unique storytelling style brings humour and humanity to a sports narrative that goes beyond the scores.

A beautifully wicked tale of privilege and desire, Emerald Fennell's Saltburn offers a change of pace. This drama weaves a captivating narrative around the complexities of human relationships against the backdrop of a picturesque setting. Fennell's storytelling and the film's stunning visuals make it a compelling addition to our December line-up.

Finally, no holiday film programme would be complete without the timeless classic, Frank Capra's It's A Wonderful Life. This heart-warming tale of George Bailey's realisation of the impact of his existence remains a holiday favourite, embodying the spirit of generosity, community, and gratitude.

Join us at Macrobert Arts Centre this December and get ready for a month of BIG screen entertainment that will entertain, inspire, and leave you with a warm holiday glow.
