120 Beats Per Minute
CHAPTER, Market Road, Canton
In Paris in the early 1990s, a group of activists goes to battle for those stricken with HIV/AIDS, taking on sluggish government agencies and major pharmaceutical companies in bold, invasive actions. ACT UP members, many of them gay and HIV-positive, embrace their mission with a literal life-or-death urgency. Amid rallies, protests, fierce debates and ecstatic dance parties, the newcomer Nathan falls in love with Sean, the group's radical firebrand, and their passion sparks against the shadow of mortality as the activists fight for a breakthrough.

Meditation for peace
Natural Health Clinic in Cardiff
World Meditation Hour on the third Sunday of each month is a quiet time to explore the magic of good wishes and kind feeling in silent meditation and prayer. There is power in such a gathering. Please join us in meditation for spreading peace. Meditating together really makes a difference. The combined effect of a group of people meditating together is greater than the effects of those individuals meditating on their own. It also deepens our own inner peace, strengthening us for the challenges of our own lives

Thoroughbreds
Cineworld, Mary Ann Street, CF10 2EN, Cardiff
Childhood friends Lily and Amanda reconnect in suburban Connecticut after years of growing apart.

Though they initially seem completely at odds, the pair bond over Lily's contempt for her oppressive stepfather, Mark, and as their friendship grows, they begin to bring out one another's most destructive tendencies. Their ambitions lead them to hire a local hustler, Tim, and take matters into their own hands to set their lives straight.
