Amanda (Binoche) and her stepfather, Martin (Courtney), are at odds over a moral quandary involving Amanda’s mother, Leslie (Calder-Marshall).

🎬🤘 It's the beginning of October's #NerveCinema programme where we're taking you from late-blooming fame to Beatlemania! 🎸

⭐️ Late Fame
⏰ Tuesday 6 October, 7pm
📍 Nerve Centre, Derry~Londonderry

After an eager and flattering young admirer (Edmund Donovan) appears on his doorstep, forgotten poet Ed Saxberger (Willem Dafoe) finds fame among young admirers. Intoxicated by the attention—and by the alluring presence of Gloria, the group’s “tragic heroine” (a sinuous, Kurt Weill–crooning Greta Lee), he gradually reckons with the authenticity of his newfound poetic circle.

🎶 Rip it Up: A Hard Day's Night
⏰ Wednesday 7 October, 7pm
📍 Nerve Centre, Derry~Londonderry

Bandmates John, Paul, George, and Ringo play cheeky comic versions of themselves, capturing the astonishing moment when they became the singular, irreverent idols of their generation and changed music forever.

🩸 Teenage Sex & Death at Camp Miasma (sold out)
⏰ Tuesday 29 September, 7pm
📍 Nerve Centre, Derry

Starring Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson, director Jane Schoenbrun ('I Saw the TV Glow') delivers a loving yet highly irreverent homage to 80's slasher films that is also a meaningful exploration of desire, pleasure, and gender in genre filmmaking.

📍 Nerve Centre, Derry

Celebrating 20 years of Shane Meadow's magnum opus, we're bringing Shaun, Woody, Lol and the gang back to the big screen as we revisit the tale of young Shaun's initiation process while joining a local skinhead fraternity.

🎬 👀 This week's #NerveCinema sees a contemporary British great paired with an acclaimed Italian comedy 🚓 🇮🇹

🚨 Ish
⏰ Tuesday 22 September, 7pm
📍 Nerve Centre, Derry

This powerful drama — co-written by celebrated Irish playwright Enda Walsh ('Hunger') — follows a pair of 12-year-old boys who wrestle to hold onto their friendship in the wake of a police stop and search. As the ripples take hold, the boys try to make sense of the men they are becoming — and how letting go can be the hardest part of growing up.

🍻 The Last One for the Road
⏰ Wednesday 23 September, 7pm
📍 Nerve Centre, Derry

Two broke fifty-somethings with a ‘never skip the last drink’ philosophy meet a shy architecture student adrift in life. What starts as a chance encounter turns into a chaotic road trip through the Venetian plains — where bad advice, hangovers, and unexpected friendship redraw Giulio’s plans for life and love.

🎬🕺⚡🔪This week's #NerveCinema shares two raucous coming-of-age stories on ambition and the cost of overconfidence...

🪩 Boogie Nights (4K Restoration)
⏰ Tuesday 15 September, 7pm
📍 Nerve Centre, Derry

Written and directed by Oscar® winner Paul Thomas Anderson ('One Battle After Another'), this electrifying sophomore breakout — set against the Los Angeles adult film scene — features a stellar cast including Wahlberg, Reynolds, John C.

🧑‍🍳 Tony (Sold out)
⏰ Wednesday 16 September, 7pm
📍Nerve Centre

In the picturesque beachside enclave of Provincetown, on Massachusetts’ idyllic Cape Cod, a lanky teenager from New Jersey discovers the first taste of the man he would become...Anthony Bourdain. 'Tony' offers an unexpected glimpse at the culinary legend before the world knew his name — and before Bourdain discovered the passion, purpose, and mentorship that would shape the rest of his life.

⚡ Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie
