“Come and play with us... forever... and ever... and ever…”

Struggling with a persistent writer’s block, aspiring author Jack Torrance takes a job as caretaker in the secluded snow-capped Overlook Hotel. Trailing behind him are his wife Wendy and son Danny. But who or what is lurking behind door 237? What is “The Shining”? And will Jack escape from the hotel sanity intact? Join us on March 22nd and all will be revealed….

Before the screening you’ll attend the inaugural Kino Collective Oscars. A short ceremony where we, the Kino Collective, will honour a selection of films that we feel weren’t recognised by The Academy. Not every feature on our list is a masterpiece but we feel they each bring something different to the table and we’d like them to get the appreciation they deserve. You're invited to cast your vote for the Best Film, Best Actor (in a specific role), Best Director and Best original song by following this link:
