We start with Hitchcock’s classic gothic melodrama just in time for Halloween. Joan Fontaine stars as the young bride haunted by the memories of her husband’s glamorous first wife.

Love is Bright: Thursday 26th November (12A)
Bride and Prejudice gives Jane Austen’s classic the Bollywood treatment. Different cultures collide, creating comic tension as sparks fly between a small-town Indian girl and a wealthy American. Through a delightful mix of song, dance, and humor, these opposites attract and repel each other.

Love is Queer: Thursday 10th December (PG)
Sally Potter’s Orlando tells the tale of a young English nobleman granted eternal life. An adaptation of Virginia Woolf’s 1928 novel of the same name, the film features an award-winning and arguably a genre-defining performance by Tilda Swinton.
