Rose of Nevada

Mark Jenkin (Bait, Enys Men) is back with his latest mind-trip, Rose of Nevada, starring Callum Turner and George MacKay!

A mysterious boat returns to a village 30 years after vanishing. Two men join its crew hoping for better fortune. After one voyage, they find themselves transported back in time, mistaken for the original crew.

One of the most distinctive voices in contemporary UK art cinema, Mark Jenkin has made quite the name for himself for his handmade aesthetic, and Rose of Nevada looks to be more of that strange, melancholy folk-horror hybrid that we continue to be fascinated by.

Young Frankenstein

Young Frankenstein, the scariest comedy of all time, is coming to The Frida Cinema to celebrate the incomparable Mel Brooks’ 100th birthday!

A young neurosurgeon (played by Gene Wilder in one of cinema’s greatest comedic performances of all time) inherits the castle of his grandfather, the famous Dr. Victor von Frankenstein. In the castle he finds a funny hunchback, a pretty lab assistant and the elderly housekeeper. Young Frankenstein believes that the work of his grandfather was delusional, but when he discovers the book where the mad doctor described his reanimation experiment, he suddenly changes his mind.

Featuring a slew of immortal gags, Young Frankenstein remains one of the greatest screen comedies ever made: an affectionate tribute to classic monster movies and a masterclass in comic precision from one of cinema’s all-time great joke machines.
