Some films slip through the cracks. Here are a few handpicked ones we recommend you don't miss.
Coming to (almost!) all Everyman venues, the newborn Beyond strand is a weekly appointment to discover your new favourite director, actor, genre, or even dream travel destination.
Throughout the year, on a Monday matinee or a Wednesday evening, we'll spotlight independent films that probably passed you by but are worth your time.
We hope you'll join us on this journey beyond the barriers of comfort! Keep reading for insight on the upcoming films in the strand.
WE'RE ON LETTERBOXD! We finally joined the ultimate cinephile platform: follow us for exclusive content and sneak peeks at our programmes. P.S. Pro-tip: tag 'everymancinema' in your Letterboxd watches to tell us what you think of the Beyond titles... maybe it'll help us choose what to bring to screens!
A Different Man
Monday 28th & Wednesday 30th October
So so funny and smart, everyone should watch this. And Sebastian Stan is at his absolute best! — Georgia, Social Media Coordinator
Edward lives with facial deformity from neurofibromatosis. After undergoing facial reconstructive surgery, he ends up looking the spit of film star Sebastian Stan (who knew?).
Things get more complicated when he comes face-to face with his old face. And around the corner is a full-blown, entirely unsubtle identity crisis.
Get ready to face a mind-melter of a movie as our protagonist encounters his former countenance. Maybe the grass isn’t always greener…?
BEYOND… Whirlwind productions. The movie was shot in just 22 days during the 2020 Covid lockdown.
BEYOND… Acting as an actor. Sebastian Stan won the Silver Bear for Best Leading Performance at the Berlin Film Festival for his role.
Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story
Monday 4th & Wednesday 6th October
You'll be moved by Reeve’s remarkable story which the film does such a great job of showcasing, not shying away from some of the controversies around it — Codie, Senior Programming and Insights Manager
Prepare for a deep dive into the life of the man who didn’t just play Superman, but was one in real life.
From Hollywood stardom to an unexpected tragedy that would redefine his journey, Christopher Reeve proved that true strength has nothing to do with x-ray vision or lifting cars—it’s about lifting others up, no superpowers required.
Don your finest cape and bring the tissues.
BEYOND… Historical logos. This is the first documentary released under the DC Studios banner since its foundation in 2016.
BEYOND… Stellar friendships. The film showcases the close friendship between Christopher Reeve and Robin Williams, who were roommates at Juilliard. In the documentary, Glenn Close even speculates that had Reeve survived longer, Williams might still be with us today.
