We will continue to wear masks at the front desk and while ushering, and encourage you to do the same to protect others in the small cinema space.


Life at home changes when a house-wife from a middle-class, conservative family in Calcutta gets a job as a saleswoman. A classic from ​legendary director Satyajit Ray, screening from the new BFI restoration. Don't miss it.

Why you should see it: because it's one of the most beautiful films you'll ever see

Tickets £8.50 / £6.50 (conc)

Please note: there's no need to print your tickets. We have a list of attendees on the door so you just need to give us your name when you arrive. Save the trees!

Doors open at 6:30pm

Film starts at 7pm

Snowcat Cinema does not screen adverts before the feature.  There are usually one or two trailers for films that will be shown soon but we encourage people to arrive promptly for the advertised start time.

Refunds will only be provided if the screening does not go ahead. Please see our COVID page for information about ticket swaps/refunds if you receive a positive test etc.
