Deep Water

Synopsis

Set against the backdrop of the turbulent 1960s, Deep Water is the stunning true story of Donald Crowhurst, a free-thinking electronics inventor who enters the most daring nautical race ever, the very first Sunday Times Golden Globe solo, non-stop, round-the-world yacht race.
 
Crowhurst - driven by a desire to prove to the world that with the help of his revolutionary invention, an on-board computer, one could sail the seas effortlessly - readies his trimaran to set sail by the late summer deadline.
 
As the race progresses, Crowhurst's reports of his positions at sea put him as the clear leader on elapsed time. Headline after headline is being printed - not just in Britain but across the world. Crowhurst is fast becoming the darling of the media, hailed as a nautical wonder.
 
But as the world waits on tenterhooks for this extraordinary man to cross the finishing line and sail into port to a hero's welcome,  the jaw-dropping truth is revealed.

Director: Blaize Mott

Year: 2026

Donald, a lonely young man desperate to improve his dating life, hires a manipulative pick-up artist, Charles, to teach him how to meet and attract women. Over the course of one night in London, Donald is pulled into a world of performance, pressure and control, where confidence becomes coercion and desire begins to blur with power. What began as a harmless lesson on love transforms into a night where the methods he is instructed to use to achieve his goal are far darker than he could have ever imagined.

Ken Russell's The Devils Ken Russell's The Devils

Director: Ken Russell

Year: 1971

A dramatized historical account of the rise and fall of Urbain Grandier, a 17th-century Roman Catholic priest accused of witchcraft following the supposed possessions in Loudun, France; it also focuses on Sister Jeanne des Anges, a sexually repressed nun who inadvertently incites the accusations. An enduring masterpiece of cinema, KEN RUSSELL’S THE DEVILS is a prescient epic of obsession and corruption – and a defining work of art from seminal filmmaker Ken Russell. Assembled from the original camera negative, this new 4K restoration presents Ken Russell’s definitive vision of THE DEVILS by referencing the edit he privately constructed in 2004. KEN RUSSELL’S THE DEVILS is the uncut and unfiltered theatrical experience that Russell always envisioned.
