Synopsis

Yohana, a teenage girl from a remote community in the Norwegian Arctic must decide the fate of the oil worker who has killed her father. In just seven seconds, she must make a life and death decision that will not only mark her forever, but also determine the very future of her people.

SEVEN unfolds in a stunning hinterland of rearing cliffs and vast seascapes, 50 miles within the Arctic Circle. Yet this is contested territory: outsiders are threatening a centuries old way of life as they seek to exploit the area’s natural resources.

Funded by the British Film Institute, SEVEN occupies the liminal space where wilderness and culture, tradition and modernity collide. As the drama unfolds, nature looks on, silent, vast and implacable.

Synopsis

When a family encounter two radically unusual puddles on a woodland retreat, unspoken tensions finally surface.

Synopsis

An emotionally charged yet quiet film about an old couple going their separate ways. After a 50 year roller-coaster relationship fuelled by love, hate, and accusations of infidelity, now magnified by the filmmaker’s Grandmother’s obsession with the past, his Grandfather has reluctantly decided he can no longer cope with the continual verbal abuse and constant attention she requires. They will part: Taki leaving for Cyprus, whilst Tina is being prepared for a nursing home. One More Kiss is a film about a pivotal point of decision in the lives of two colourfully rich characters and explores the substance of love and the overriding consequences of age, migration and illness. It delves into the existential realities of the tragic nature of all relations and ultimately love. A minimalist and intensely moving look at old age - filled with moments of beauty, sadness and humour.

Synopsis

Synopsis

From BAFTA award winning director, Chris Menaul, comes the story of Mozart's definitive romantic comedy. A school for lovers must learn that when words fail, only music can speak to the heart.

Adam, a rich industrialist aspires to a more cultured world. Spurred on by playful jibes that he’s little more than a city suit living the capitalist's dream, this frustrated amateur opera singer decides to put on an opera in his lavish country retreat. Once his friends see him belting out the notes, he feels sure it will spell the end to their shallow taunts. It might even help him win the hand of Celia, the female conductor he has been pursuing and is the first to be recruited for his showpiece.

As for the other major roles and the production, Adam brings in the pros. A troupe of sexy, young singers with enough collective sexual tension to literally light up the stage. The opera they will be performing is Mozart's Cosi Fan Tutte, the master composer's fabled romp through the bittersweet themes of sexual infidelity. As the disparate group begins to rehearse, it isn’t long before life starts to replicate art and their relationships flourish and flounder.
