Westival 2025

To celebrate the release of Wes Anderson’s 12th feature film, The Phoenician Scheme, Showroom Cinema will be playing a full retrospective of the director’s cinematic works across two all-day events on 4 and 18 May.

Wes Anderson has become one of the 21st century’s most-beloved auteurs, having broken out in the 1990s with acclaimed independent features Bottle Rocket (1996) and Rushmore (1998), before hitting mainstream success and cult super-stardom with The Royal Tenenbaums (2001) and others.

Since then, Anderson has become one of the world’s most beloved filmmakers with films delighting audiences of all ages.
