Dancing at Lughnasa Dancing at Lughnasa

Director: Pat O'Connor

Year: 1999

The summer of 1936, when the action of Dancing at Lughnasa takes place, is beautiful, but Europe is on the verge of terrible change.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Through that glorious summer, at the very edge of Europe, in Ballybeg, Donegal, the Mundy family shelter in their small home - five sisters, one brother and Michael, the love child of Christina, the youngest sister.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The film is seen through the eyes of the boy. He feels the joy and security of his close-knit clan, but its secrets and sorrows begin to break through. The arrival of Michael's father, a Welsh man, Gerry Evans, on his way to fight for Franco in Spain, unleashes repressed passion. The Eden of Ballybeg is changed forever.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> They meet their fate bravely. The memory of that summer haunts Michael forever, memories of love and loss, of women dancing, dancing as if their lives depend on the dance - and they do.

A sleepwalking Emma comes face to face with a mysterious entity The Wilding

Director: Adam Park

Year:

Told through leaked footage compiled by a whistle-blower, the film follows Emma and Richard, a couple thrust into the wilderness to survive for 100 days. Their confidence quickly turns to terror as a malevolent creature begins stalking them, ultimately killing Richard in a gruesome attack. Emma escapes and infiltrates the facility where the show's creators review their "progress." There, she discovers the chilling truth: the creature is part of their unholy science. With the odds stacked against her, Emma turns the tables - delivering brutal justice with unexpected aid from the very horror that was meant to destroy her. A darkly satirical blend of horror, sci-fi, and mockumentary, THE WILDING exposes the monstrous extremes the powerful will go to cheat death - and the human cost of their ambition.
