Hard Truths
Director: Mike Leigh
Year: 2024
Life’s a constant struggle for Pansy. Racked with physical and mental pain, her dealings with the world are channeled through anger and confrontation: she argues with her family, her dentist, her doctor, the girl at the supermarket checkout… Curtley, her husband, has been at a loss as to how to deal with her for a long time while Moses, her son, lives in his own world, hardly says a word and spends his days aimlessly wandering the streets of the city. Only her loving sister Chantelle understands her and is able to help her.<br /> Official Selection Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) 2024 - World premiere<br /> Official Selection San Sebastian Film Festival 2024 - European premiere<br /> Official Selection BFI London Film Festival 2024<br /> Official Selection International Film Festival Rotterdam 2025
Peterloo
Director: Mike Leigh
Year: 2018
A drama based on events surrounding the infamous 1819 Peterloo Massacre, where British forces fired on a peaceful pro-democracy rally at St Peter's Field in Manchester. <br /> The notorious massacre saw British government forces charge into a crowd of 60,000 that had to demand political reform. The forces killed an estimated 18 protestors and injured hundreds, sparking outcry but also further government crackdowns.<br /> This was a defining moment in radical British history which also played a significant role in the founding of the UK's leftwing broadsheet newspaper The Guardian.<br /> "There has never been a feature film about the Peterloo Massacre. The universal significance of this historic event becomes ever more relevant in our own turbulent times." Mike Leigh<br /> Official Selection Toronto International Film Festival 2018 - Masters
