Synopsis

SW9, Brixton. Nowhere else in Britain has such a diversity of characters. Nowhere else has the madness of a true street culture. Riots, Guns, Drugs. These are the ingredients of the old Brixton. Throw in yuppies, clubbers, scammers, Internet Anarchists and Britain's most 'kicking' clubs and this is the new Brixton. Vibrant, Colourful, Exotic. South West Nine is the first movie to take a roller-coaster ride through this extraordinary square mile. Five very different characters are thrown together in one weird, mashed up day. It started out just like any other, but 24 hours later everything had changed. South West Nine takes you through the widescreen of the new millennium. The death of idealism, capitalism, religion and hippies. Even the drugs don't work any more. The 'summer of love' generation have come down and they're ready to riot. Seattle, Stockholm, Paris, Genoa. May Day Riots. Disunited Kingdom. The Internet is informing today's youth about the behaviour of the multinationals. And they're not happy. Punchy, provocative with a healthy dose of cynical humour. It's all kicking off.

Synopsis

Harry Potter has learned to live with his bullying uncle Vernon, his callous aunt Petunia and the constant whining of his greedy, spoiled cousin Dudley. He's even learned to live with sleeping in the cupboard under the stairs. Harry's relatives have just as reluctantly learned to live with the unwelcome presence of their orphaned relation, a constant reminder of Petunia's 'wayward' sister and brother-in-law and their mysterious and untimely demise. Even the impending arrival of his 11th birthday offers no excitement for Harry - as usual, there's little chance of cards, presents or any kind of birthday treat. This year, however, is different.

Rowling's popular children's novels about Harry Potter, telling the story of a boy who learns on his 11th birthday that he is the orphaned son of two powerful wizards and possesses unique magical powers of his own. Invited to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Harry embarks on the adventure of a lifetime. At Hogwarts, he finds the home and the family he has never had.
