When Bonnie receives a Lilypad tablet as a gift and becomes obsessed, Buzz, Woody, Jessie and the rest of the gang's jobs become exponentially harder when they have to go head to head with the all-new threat to playtime.

The renowned psychiatrist Lilian Steiner mounts a private investigation into the death of one of her patients, whom she is convinced has been murdered.

In 1910 London, independent-minded Katharine Hilbery defies her family's expectations of marriage to pursue a career in astronomy. But when her father pressures her into an unwanted engagement, her resolve is tested. Through new friendships—including a bold suffragette and a thoughtful editor—Katharine begins to question the limits placed on her by society, love, and tradition, ultimately searching for a path that is truly her own.

A broken family is forced to come together when 16-year-old Finn and his livewire younger brother Charlie run away from trouble at home in England to reach their estranged grandfather on Ireland’s stunning and wild west coast.

The final presentation in FILM183  ‘Saving Nature’ season is Chinatown (1974): set against the parched backdrop of 1930s Los Angeles, Chinatown uses the framework of a detective thriller to expose the environmental manipulation that shaped modern California. Private investigator Jake Gittes (Jack Nicholson) uncovers a conspiracy in which water—diverted, stolen, and weaponised—becomes the city’s most valuable commodity, revealing how political power and corporate greed can remake entire landscapes.

As reservoirs are drained and farmland is sacrificed, the film transforms a noir mystery into a stark ecological parable about scarcity, exploitation, and the human cost of reshaping nature for profit. Its meticulous craftsmanship, atmospheric cinematography, and haunting score make Chinatown not only a landmark of American cinema but also one of the most enduring environmental cautionary tales on film.

Next up  FILM183 will be showing Wild at Heart (1900) as a tribute to David Lynch on Monday, 31 August.

Joe and Angela’s marriage is on thin ice. When they invite their enigmatic upstairs neighbors for a dinner party, the night spirals into unexpected places. Have they reignited the spark or lit the match that burns it all down?

This is the rambunctious, ridiculous and totally true story of how the Minions conquered Hollywood, became movie stars, lost everything, unleashed monsters onto the world and then banded together to try and save the planet from the mayhem they had just created.
