Synopsis

Adapted from the biography of Clementine Churchill (Winston Churchill’s influential wife), written by the youngest of their five children Mary Soames. Soames’ book, published in 1979, details her mother’s crucial role in Winston’s political life; he often said England winning World War II would have been “impossible without her.” Fiercely independent, Clementine was known for her aid work across both world wars, organizing canteens for munitions workers during WWI and serving as a chairman of the Red Cross Aid to Russia Fund during WWII as well as chairman of the Fulmer Chase Maternity Hospital for Wives of Junior Officers. She eventually was appointed as Dame Grand Cross of the Order of the British Empire.

Synopsis

A dramatisation, interwoven with archive footage, of the lives of Ray and Dave Davies, the fabled North London brothers of the band The Kinks. Ray Davies, an audacious lead singer and songwriter and one of rock’s most iconic musicians, formed a partnership with his brother Dave, a hugely gifted guitarist, which was as legendary as that of Lennon and McCartney or Jagger and Richards. After their meteoric rise to fame, the young brothers were plunged into the hedonistic world of the 1960s rock explosion, and their volatile relationship became notorious. In the UK, The Kinks had 17 Top 20 singles (including You Really Got Me, Dedicated Follower of Fashion, Waterloo Sunset and Lola) and five Top 10 albums. The band were famously banned from the USA at the height of their fame, but have still sold an estimated 50 million albums worldwide. Their influence has gone on to shape three decades of rock.

Synopsis

Awaiting synopsis Forthcoming Jonathan Glazer Holocaust film set in the Auschwitz concentration camp. "I am interested in the bystanders who watched the atrocities unfold... I remember being very taken by the faces of the bystanders, the onlookers, the complicit, you know? Ordinary Germans. I started wondering how it would be possible to stand by and watch that. Some of the faces actually enjoy it. The spectacle of it. The kinda circus of it.” “A lot of the stories I’ve seen, I do sometimes think they could be set anywhere actually. As soon as you define a plot, you’re sort of somehow relegating Auschwitz as a place and it becomes a context. For me, I don’t want to do that. I just felt that was wrong.” Jonathan Glazer
