Cinema in the North
Tom Grieve, Cinema EditorIt’s Christmastime at the movies this month as cinemas pack their schedules with Muppets, John McClane and all manner of animated baubles. From multiple Wallace and Gromit double bills in Sheffield, New York Christmas films in Manchester and a host of family friendly films in Bradford, there’s plenty to get you in the spirit of the season.
Away from the festive fare, the British Film Institute backed Art of Action season is also underway across the country and our local cinemas have come up with inspired responses. At HOME in Manchester there’s films by Sam Peckinpah, Buster Keaton and more. Sheffield’s Showroom has scheduled strands showcasing action pioneers, female-led movies and essential classics. While Leeds’ Hyde Park Picture House delves into the burning rubber of automobile action.
There’s much more too, from Factory International’s Weekend of Film and Music to HOME’s annual round-up of the best films of the year — find out if your favourite made the grade.
