We explore female desire in the cinema, from matinee idols to sex on screen, writes season programmer Christina Newland ‘Thirst’ is a buzzword these days: in this context, to be thirsty means to desperately desire someone. In conjunction with the release of anthology She Found It at the Movies: Women Writers on Sex, Desire and Cinema (edited by Christina Newland), we present a season of films looking at what it means to be a ‘thirsty’ woman, exploring the under-discussed desires of female audience members and their onscreen counterparts. We aim to encourage discussion about the female viewers’ relationship with moviegoing – whether it be formative teen crushes on movie stars, or ideas that cinema gave us about what sex should be. From queer coming-of-age stories to documentaries about male strippers, Thirst attempts to flip the switch on a century of cinema’s male gaze, and find space for women’s sexual expression in film.

At 90, Clint Eastwood shows no sign of walking away from the controversial roles that made his acting career, writes season programmer Justin Johnson With a huge body of work as an actor and director, Clint Eastwood turns 90 in May and we mark the occasion with this bijou season featuring some iconic yet sometimes morally ambiguous roles. Whether it be a ‘dirty’ cop who challenges how far a democratic society should go to protect itself, a bounty hunter who uses the ruthless methods of the criminals he hunts against them, or a war veteran who finds himself either caught up in a gang war or working for a drugs cartel, Eastwood is able to hold his own as an anti-hero. Having learned his directing craft from being on set with some of the very best, Eastwood creates films that are always challenging, powerful and traditionally accomplished pictures.
