Director: Samuel Dore

Year: 2019

Ringing the Changes Ringing the Changes

Director: Felix Dembinski

Horror
An elderly man (Anthony Hopkins) in a wool hat and overcoat A Visit to Grandpa's

Director: DJ Caruso

Year:

A Visit to Grandpa’s is a whimsical, heart-stirring tale based on Dylan Thomas’s classic short story. When a lonely boy is sent to spend the summer with his wildly eccentric grandfather in the countryside, he expects boredom but finds magic instead. Grandpa is nothing like he imagined: impulsive, outrageous, and full of mysterious stories that blur fact and fantasy. As the days stretch on, mischief turns to meaning, and their unexpected bond becomes a lifeline for them both. With Hopkins set to deliver a career-defining performance, this is a funny and deeply moving journey through memory, imagination and the strange magic of family.
