Synopsis

It is the summer of 1976, the hottest summer in living memory, and keen drama teacher Vivienne fights sweltering heat and general teenage apathy to put on a school musical of her version of Shakespeare's 'The Tempest'. To get the kids engaged, she weaves the play around their favourite pop songs, using the hits of the day by artists as diverse as David Bowie, Lou Reed, The Beach Boys, Simon and Garfunkel, Dusty Springfield and Electric Light Orchestra. The music is sung and performed by a fresh and enormously talented group of young actors led by rising star Aneurin Barnard. The result is a film that is in turn touching, life affirming, funny and nostalgic, and a love letter to the music of the period.

A Mighty Heart is the heart-breaking true story of the disappearance and death of Daniel Pearl, the South Asian bureau chief for the Wall Street Journal, who was kidnapped in Pakistan in 2002. The story is told through the eyes of his pregnant wife Mariane Pearl.

Mariane Pearl's bravery is remarkable and her courage, along with that of her late husband, serve to make A Mighty Heart, despite Danny Pearl's heart-breaking death, a profound and ultimately uplifting love story. It is also a fitting tribute to a dedicated reporter not a hero, but an ordinary man. An ordinary hero.

Synopsis

'When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life'





Set in London during Bonfire Night weekend, Wonderland follows three generations of one family as their separate paths cross each other.





Mum and Dad are marooned in a loveless marriage, both scarred by the absence of their son Darren. Debbie, Nadia and Molly are their three daughters. Molly is due to have her first baby any day. Debbie has a nine year only boy, Jack, but still wants to spend her nights on the town. Nadia lives alone and is looking for someone to fall in love with.





Set on location with a small crew, using a hand held camera, no lights, no slates, no boom and no extras, the film tries to capture the everyday experience of life in a big city. The characters in the film are the people you see every day on the train, on the bus, at work. Their problems are mundane and eternal: how to find some contentment in this world.
