THE King of Rock n Roll, Golden Era Hollywood actress Ingrid Bergman and jazz trumpeter Chet Baker all walk into a bar. What may sound like the start of a joke is in fact the reality we face here at Ilkley Cinema this week. And this wonderful mix is only the beginning!

Only under this roof would you be able to see films about a father raising children in the woods and the drug addled grunge of the punk era all in one week.

From September 16th – 22nd, Viggo Mortenson stars as father Ben Cash in Captain Fantastic, who shuns the traditional methods of upbringing by raising his six children in the Washington State wilderness. Living in this perfect haven unfortunately cannot last forever as the family have to adjust to the real world when they attend their mother’s funeral.

If you’ve ever wondered how the encounter between Elvis Presley and President Nixon went down in 1970, then look no further. The most bizarre, unofficial Presidential meeting in history is brought to life in Elvis and Nixon, as The King drops by to White House to discuss urgent matters. Again, not a joke.

We also peek into the lives of two legends this week. Born to be Blue stars Ethan Hawke as jazz musician Chet Baker, as he tries to stage a comeback while balancing love and the aftermath of a brutal attack in the late 1960’s. Ingrid Bergman: In Her Own Words gives us exactly that. Through interviews from those closest to her and home videos, we glance into the life of Sweden’s most prolific, outspoken and glamorous star of screen: Ingrid Bergman.

If you can believe it, the depiction of Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen’s tragic love affair turns 30 this year. To celebrate the epitome of the punk phenomenon, we are showing Sid and Nancy on September 20th, so come down and relive the infamous anarchy one more time.

This weekend, we are also showing The BFG one last time and bringing Disney’s most haunting, puppy stealing villain Cruella de Vil to the big screen in 101 Dalmatians for Kid’s Club on Saturday.
