            The Chronology of Water (2025)
Welcome to the first weekly film bulletin! Showtimes below for the dates listed above. 

March was a great month for watching films by female directors. I recently saw Kristen Stewart's The Chronology of Water at Filmhouse and was quite blown away by her directorial debut. It's not for the faint of heart but Stewart deftly threads the needle for sensitive material, anchored by an incredible performance from Imogen Poots. SFS Somerset is showing Sophy Romvari's Blue Heron, another directorial debut with firm control over its style to explore memory and trauma. I was also impressed by Farewell China directed by Clara Law with its emotionally effective melodrama despite very extreme dramatic turns.  

It's the last showing for Farewell China at Oldham Theatre this week and the other two are unlikely to run for long (or have any more showings), so be sure to catch them if you want to!

It's been a hectic first quarter of 2026 for the entire globe, hasn't it? I hope you're still finding opportunities to catch movies, spend time with your loved ones, or both at the same time. Take care and stay safe!
