            2000 Meters to Andriivka (2025)
It's a great week for the classics!
Hitchcock's classic thriller North By Northwest (1959) plays at the Capitol Theatre, and Central Arts Library's "secret" film also stars Cary Grant alongside Audrey Hepburn.
David Cronenberg's body horror classic The Fly (1986) continues its run at Artscience Cinema and SFS Somerset adds the iconic John Travolta film Saturday Night Fever (1977) to their slate!
And as part of their Prasasti / Inscriptions programme, Asian Film Archive presents the rare opportunity to watch Turang (1957), an Indonesian film once considered to be lost, that depicts life resisting Dutch colonial rule.
Over at Filmhouse, Edward Yang's seminal Yi Yi (2000) is still playing, and they've added the 4K restoration of Hayao Miyazaki's classic animated film Princess Mononoke (1997) to their programming.
If you're looking for something plugged into current events, SFS is screening 2000 Meters to Andriivka (2025), a documentary that covers the ongoing Russian-Ukraine conflict.
