What’s On at ActOne: July 2026 Highlights from Acton’s Community Cinema

In July, we invite you to our air-conditioned auditoriums, a breezy lounge and we offer another rich and varied programme of films, live events, and special screenings. From the most talked-about films to intimate documentaries, and our beloved community events in the lounge, there is something for everyone. The full programme and booking details are always available at ActOneCinema.co.uk

Showing in July:

Week 3 – 9 July: 

  • Blue Heron: An eight-year-old girl quietly absorbs her family’s unravelling as her troubled older brother’s behaviour spirals, in a film that later folds into the adult daughter’s own attempt to make sense of it all.
  • Disclosure Day: When evidence of extraterrestrial life finally surfaces, a whistleblower, a small-town meteorologist, and a secretive corporation all race to control the truth as it’s revealed to the world at once.
  • The Last Viking: A bank robber fresh out of prison must jog his memory-impaired brother’s mind to find the stolen loot only he knows the location of and ends up confronting who they both really are.
  • The Invite: A married couple’s awkward dinner party with their uninhibited upstairs neighbours spirals into an evening of long-buried grievances and surprising revelations.
  • Nirvana the Band the Show the Movie: Two lifelong friends attempt one last, increasingly absurd scheme, including a homemade time machine, to finally land a gig at their favourite Toronto bar.
  •  Birds of War: A real-life love story between a Lebanese journalist and a Syrian cameraman, told through thirteen years of personal footage shot across war, revolution and exile.
Week 10 – 16 July: 
  • Effi O Blaenau: A hard-living young woman in a struggling Welsh town has her life upended by an unexpected connection and the harsh realities that follow.
  • Rosebush Pruning: A wealthy, dysfunctional American family unravels spectacularly in their isolated Spanish villa.
  • The Last One for the Road: Two broke, boozy best friends drift from bar to bar across the Italian countryside while waiting for an old friend’s return, picking up a shy young companion along the way.
Week 17 – 23 July:
  • The Odyssey: A sweeping Nolan adaptation of the ancient Greek epic, following the warrior-king Odysseus as he battles monsters, gods, and his own fate on the long voyage back to his wife and kingdom.
  •  Toy Story 5: Woody, Buzz and the gang face their biggest threat yet: a flashy new tablet that’s stolen their kid’s attention.
Later coming titles:
  • Minions and Monsters, Nostalgia (4K restoration), Moana, The Sacrifice (4K restoration), Paris 75
