My Order

When a flood of biblical proportions washes its home away, a solitary cat must seek refuge with a motley crew of animals, who gradually learn to get along in this endearing, Oscar-winning animation.

Wunderkind director Gints Zilbalodis has taken the animation world by storm with his beautifully crafted sophomore feature Flow, which has received a multitude of awards and nominations to date, including two nominations for both BAFTA and the Academy Awards.

The mystical world he creates in Flow is in peril. There are traces of human inhabitants, but they are now nowhere to be seen as water begins to flood the landscape.

The story begins following a small, solitary cat as the shoreline rises and the home where it once lived is submerged underwater. Forced to flee, he happens upon a refuge boat containing a calm and unperturbed Cabybarre who seems amenable to his presence, and the two begin a journey on the water towards higher ground.

Along the way they cross paths with a lemur, obsessed with collecting shiny objects, a boisterous and excitable dog and a stoic, mysterious secretary bird.

Together, as they traverse the landscape on their fable-like quest, the ragtag team of animals must learn to trust each other and work together to survive. Flow pushes the boundaries of animation, immersing audiences in a world before unseen.

Agathe, hopelessly clumsy yet charming, and full of contradictions, dreams of experiencing love akin to a Jane Austen novel. Instead she finds herself stuck in desperate singlehood, spending her days working in the legendary British bookshop, Shakespeare & Co in Paris, rather than pursuing her own ambitions of becoming a novelist. But when an unexpected invitation to the Jane Austen Writers' Residency in England lands in her lap, Agathe is in for an eye-opening and life-changing experience. Encouraged to confront her insecurities and explore her true romantic, sexual and creative nature, in part thanks to her eccentric co-residents, Agathe realises it’s time to stop wasting her sentimental life and take control - over both her writing aspirations, and her very own love story.

Starring Camille Rutherford (Anatomy of a Fall), Pablo Pauly (The French Dispatch) and Charlie Anson (Death on the Nile), Jane Austen Wrecked My Life is an uplifting and heart-warming throwback to classic romance, with a modern sensibility, marking the directorial debut of acclaimed screenwriter Laura Piani.

A welcome return to The Flavel for Adam Dyer, this time accompanied by his Jazz Quartet!

Brought up as a teenager in Kingswear, Adam graduated from Christ’s College, Cambridge and, subsequently, the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Having played classical music from the age of seven, he took to playing jazz piano in his mid-teens. Following his time at the Guildhall he travelled to Scandinavia to study jazz for two years on a full scholarship. He now lives in London but often returns to Devon for holidays with his young family.

His quartet with Eric Ford (drums) and Jakub Cywinski (bass) and Duncan Eagles (saxophone) recorded his debut album, River Spirit, which has received critical acclaim and radio play on BBC Radio 3.

‘Pianist Adam Dyer‘s debut album is a winning combination of lively post-bop originals, some romantic ballads and a couple of reworked standards’ Patrick Hadfield, UK Jazz News

‘A highly original album which will enchant listeners for years to come.’

Sarah Walker, presenter, BBC Radio 3
