The Silver Screenings series kicks of with Misbehaviour. (October 23).

A group of women part of the Women’s Liberation Movement create a plan in order to disrupt the 1970 Miss World beauty competition in London.

On October 28 you can see Hope Gap, with Annette Bening and Bill Nighy co-starring as a longtime couple on the verge of divorce.

It is a drama that’s tastefully restrained to a fault in a particularly British manner. Veteran screenwriter William Nicholson, a two-time Oscar nominee, based the film on his Tony-nominated play The Retreat from Moscow. The title was inspired by Napoleon’s invasion of - and messy withdrawal from -the Russian city, a subject that fascinates Nighy’s character and serves as an obvious metaphor for the destruction of his own marriage
