Using never-seen-before interrogation footage of Netanyahu, his family, his closest associates, and benefactors, Director Alexis Bloom and Oscar-winning Producer Alex Gibney uncover high-level familial corruption and the disastrous lengths a political leader will go to escape accountability. The Bibi Files is a film about a man singularly focused on his own political survival in a region beset by war.
Leaked footage from police interrogation videos are interwoven with archival footage that shows Netanyahu’s rise to power, and how his nearly 30-year rule as Prime Minister has divided the state of Israel. Interspersed throughout are interviews with prominent journalists, Israeli statesmen, Netanyahu's associates, and long time friends, whose observations and anecdotes reveal a chilling portrait of a leader who, in his drive to evade justice, has aligned himself with radical right-wing extremists. Netanyahu’s fixation on his entitlement to remain Prime Minister has, in this way, led to political decisions that have endangered Israel’s safety, and destroyed her standing as a democracy in the Middle East.
December 18 and 19

One day in 1949, a young Scottish painter climbed a Swiss glacier. The experience rewired her brain and transformed her art. Barns-Graham was synaesthetic –
associating letters, names and people with particular colours – and Cousins explores how her neurodiversity and her encounter with the glacier shaped her vision of the world. Through a cinematic immersion into her art and life, the film explores themes of gender, neurodiversity, climate change, and the nature of creativity from youth to old age.

Saint Helena island – a tiny British Overseas Territory in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean – is so remote that the only means of arrival is the world’s last Royal Mail Ship, a six-day journey from Cape Town.
For centuries Saint Helena has existed in near isolation from the rest of the world, a potent symbol of Britain’s colonial past, epitomized by its most famous tourist attraction – Napoleon Bonaparte’s empty tomb.
As the Environmental Officer for Saint Helena’s troubled £285m airport project, Annina Van Neel learned of the island’s most terrible atrocity – an unmarked mass burial ground of an estimated 9,000 formerly enslaved Africans. It is one of the most significant traces of the transatlantic slave trade still on earth.
Haunted by this historical injustice, Annina fights alongside renowned African American preservationist Peggy King Jorde and a group of disenfranchised islanders – many of them descendants of enslaved people – for the proper memorialisation of these forgotten victims.
The resistance they face exposes disturbing truths about the UK’s colonial past – and present.
In charting her years-long journey to this moment of catharsis, A STORY OF BONES documents Annina’s extraordinary transformation from a disempowered bystander to an undaunted social justice activist—and one who is determined to advocate for a community that has long been denied a voice.
Followed by a live Q+A with director Annina Van Neel
Screening on 4th August

Alone except for his dog, Flike, Umberto is determined to maintain his dignity in postwar Rome where human kindness seems to have been swallowed up by the forces of modernization. His simple quest to satisfy his most fundamental needs—food, shelter, companionship—makes for one of the most heart-breaking stories ever filmed, and an essential classic of world cinema.
UMBERTO D. (dir. Vittorio De Sica) screens on Sunday 19 May, as part of our mini-season A JOURNEY THROUGH ITALIAN CINEMA: https://www.phoenixcinema.co.uk/journey-through-to-italian-cinema
