Get ready to roll into the , making its glorious return from the 14th to the 23rd of March. It's the 11th time this cinematic shindig has taken over, and it's all about those unforgettable tales you share over popcorn. Head over to the ODEON at Great Northern to catch a slate of independent films that'll leave you buzzing—some from just down the road and others from places far beyond our doorstep.

Things kick off with a splash on March 14, featuring the much-talked-about flick, The Penguin Lessons, starring none other than Manchester's own Steve Coogan. It's like a party for your eyes with four world premieres, 15 UK premieres, and an eclectic mix of short films from near and far. And let's not forget, there's more than just watching—plenty of Q&As with the folks behind the films, a dash of red-carpet glitz, and maybe even a celebrity or two wandering about. Tickets are up for grabs—starting from a bargainous 8 quid—so grab yours before they fly off into the sunset.
