Rocks

*Please read our important information about our Covid-19 safety precautions before visiting.*

Presented by The Young Electrics.

Filmed partly in Hastings!

After her stunning debut Brick Lane, followed by 2015’s award-winning Suffragette, Sarah Gavron returns behind the camera for her anticipated third feature, reuniting with BAFTA-nominated producer Faye Ward (Stan & Ollie, Wild Rose).

15-year-old Rocks fears that she and her little brother Emmanuel will be taken into care and forced apart if anyone finds out that their mother has left them to fend for themselves. Against all odds, and with the help of her loyal friends, she evades the authorities and navigates the most defining days of her young life.

Rocks is an astounding film about resilience, joy, and the spirit of girlhood.

A message from our cinema director, Rebecca Marshall:
As we have been unable to operate at our previous full capacity since reopening, and with safety measures unlikely to be able to relax anytime this year, we are facing mounting building rental costs, film licensing costs and other overheads that were previously viable when we were open at full capacity.

Unless all our current season of films sell out, the cinema will be unable to continue into 2021 and will likely close in December this year.

With this in mind I make this plea to all to help sustain this much-loved community asset:
