An adaptation of Ben Macintyre’s best-selling book exploring the impact of a notorious betrayal of the British establishment. It focuses specifically on what happened during the final meeting between Philby and his close friend and fellow MI6 agent Nicholas Elliott (Damian Lewis), in the days leading up to Philby’s defection. Was Elliott merely trying to extract a confession or was there something more shadowy at play? Outstanding performances from Lewis, Pearce and Anna Maxwell Martin bring to life the layered and deeply intelligent script by showrunner Alexander Carey (who previously worked with Lewis on HOMELAND). Part gripping spy thriller in the Le Carré mould, part incisive dissection of the British class and power structures still in place today, A SPY AMONG FRIENDS is, above all, a moving portrait of friendship and betrayal.

BECOMING PLANT follows six dancers who participate in a therapeutic group experiment with psychedelics, while temporarily ‘living’ together on the demilitarised industrial site. While they are subjected to the plant’s consciousness and to each other’s presence, they perform a choreography, aligning their naked bodies with each other and with the architectural ruins. The film serves as a catalyst to discuss wider social and relational issues such as science, spirituality, psychiatry, healing, healthcare and the problems of collective depression and trauma resulting from living in the age of Late Capitalism. Featuring a specially composed soundtrack by London based electronic musician and visual artist Gaika.
How well do we ever really know our partner? That’s the question at the heart of this crafty comedy-drama, which follows married couple Jamie (Corden) and Amandine (Melia Kreiling) as they navigate the happily ever after. Combining the trappings of romantic comedy with the twists and turns of a whodunnit, the show deftly explores just how complicated long-term commitment can be. Best known for his comic performances, Corden is terrific in a more contained dramatic role, while Hawkins and Colin Morgan sparkle as Jamie’s sister and brother-in-law – a couple facing their own challenges. Butterworth’s (Jerusalem, Spectre) dexterous script is nimbly directed by Stephanie Laing, who has previously shown such a keen eye for gender dynamics in her work on PHYSICAL and MADE FOR LOVE.
