Sat 31 Dec — Tue 17 Jan 2023

From Tuesday 3 until Tuesday 17 January, some familiar titles will be reappearing in the Garden Cinema programme. Forget Sight and Sound, these were the top ranking films in our Garden Cinema Staff Picks Poll 2022, chosen from all the films that we screened during the past year.

Join us to catch up with films you may have missed the first time, or to indulge in a repeat-viewing.

All films in this season received multiple votes, but the two films that came out on top were:

Best New Release: Drive My Car (Ryusuke Hamaguchi, 2021, Japan)

Best Classic Title: Ali: Fear Eats the Soul (Rainer Werner Fassbinder, 1974, Germany)
