Let The Games Begin

Let the Games Begin reflects on the cultural and social significance of sport. Whilst sport and culture might not seem the most natural of companions, there is an incredible richness created when the two worlds come together as this season of films, talks and games demonstrates.

A festival of film and music
We're mad about music and film. So much so we've created a new festival dedicated to this most enduring of relationships, and this month there's a focus on the music of the maestro Ennio Morricone.
