We loved screening Pig over the last few weeks, so why not continue the truffle theme with The Truffle Hunters, opening this Friday.

“An eccentric world that you have never heard of, never seen...” - LA Times

This immersive, acclaimed documentary centers around a handful of men in search of rare, expensive and delicious white Alba truffles deep in the forests of Piedmont, Italy. It's a way of life that's vanishing.

Plus all this week at the Princess...

The feel-good family film Dream Horse continues at the Twin this week for a handful of screenings. Perfect little film about an underdog racehorse. It's a British gem-of-a-film.

Plus a few more screenings of the indie drama Nine Days (this film is profound and asks some big questions about life). 

Follow us on Instagram as well to stay up to date.

See you at the movies!

The Green Knight honors and deconstructs its source material in equal measure, producing an absorbing adventure that casts a fantastical spell.

An epic fantasy adventure based on the timeless Arthurian legend, The Green Knight tells the story of Sir Gawain (Dev Patel), King Arthur's reckless and headstrong nephew, who embarks on a daring quest to confront the eponymous Green Knight, a gigantic emerald-skinned stranger and tester of men.

The Truffle Hunters explores a world most viewers will know nothing about -- with delightfully savory results.

Deep in the forests of Piedmont, Italy, a handful of men, seventy or eighty years young, hunt for the rare and expensive white Alba truffle—which to date has resisted all of modern science's efforts at cultivation. They're guided by a secret culture and training passed down through generations, as well as by the noses of their cherished and expertly-trained dogs.

Dream Horse is a family-friendly, feel good film! Yes they still make them like this!

The film tells the inspiring true story of Dream Alliance, an unlikely race horse bred by small town bartender, Jan Vokes (Academy Award nominee Toni Collette). With very little money and no experience, Jan convinces her neighbors to chip in their meager earnings to help raise Dream and compete with the racing elites.
