Ringing the Changes
Director: Felix Dembinski
Year:
A honeymoon turns into a night of terror when the newlyweds learn that ringing church bells herald an annual ritual to raise the dead.
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.
