In the Film UK Guide to British Film we have aimed to include details of all British fiction feature and short
films completed between July 2006 and July 2007. (Not included are animation, experimental and
documentary films.) Each listing includes contact information for the film's producer, international sales
agent and UK distributor, where available. The listings cover more than 200 feature films and around 325
shorts. We apologise if any eligible films have not made it into the Guide.
The films and credits in the Guide are those submitted by producers, sales agents and distributors, and
credits are not contractual.
The Film UK Guide to British Film is made available to all Industry delegates at the Edinburgh International
Film Festival 2007.
A pdf version of the Guide can be downloaded from the Film UK website at www.filmuk.org.uk.
The Film Festival Videotheque stocks video copies of as many of the films in the Film UK Guide as we are
able to obtain. The Videotheque is open daily during the Festival. We are happy to pass on enquiries about
films to the appropriate contact.

Welcome to the 2007 Film UK

Guide to British Film
This is the thirteenth edition of the Guide to British Film, the annual directory
of fiction features and shorts completed in the UK during the past year. Our
team researches British film production as widely as possible, making the Guide
essential reading for anyone looking for a snapshot of the current state of
filmmaking in the UK. The Guide has become an invaluable handbook for film
professionals, and thousands of copies are downloaded each year from the
website www.filmuk.org.uk, where editions for each year from 2001 are
available.
The numbers and relative proportions of features and shorts change from year to
year. This year features are slightly down to around 200 after peaking at 10% higher
than this last year, while shorts are more or less the same at just over 325.
Uncertainty about film finance legislation may have led to this situation, and
perhaps we can expect to see more features again next year. Production budgets
range from high to micro, and talent is on display at every budget level. Watch this
space for some of the acclaimed filmmakers of tomorrow . . .
With a new Artistic Director in Hannah McGill, and an established reputation as a
place to discover talent, the Edinburgh International Film Festival combines history
with innovation as the longest continuously running film festival in the world. Now
celebrating its 61st edition, the Film Festival is a networking centre for the national
and international film community, served by its Industry Office. The Film UK banner
signposts British filmmaking throughout the Festival, from new British films to
events related to British cinema, and includes the Videotheque, where British films
from the Guide can be watched in individual viewing booths. Once again the guide
has been produced in co-operation with the British Council. We are grateful also to
BBC Scotland, as nurturers of Scottish screen talent, for their support and
continuing sponsorship of both Film UK and the Guide.

1408
28 Weeks Later
Across the Universe
Adapted from a short story by Stephen

King, the film charts one man's terrifying
journey to disprove the existence of the
supernatural. Mike Enslin is a man who
wants to prove there is nothing beyond
here and now; a renowned horror novelist
he believes only in what he can see with
his own two eyes.
28 Weeks Later, the follow up to 28 Days

Later, starts six months after the rage
virus has annihilated mainland Britain.
The US Army declares that the war
against infection has been won, and that
the reconstruction of the country can
begin. As the first wave of refugees
returns a family is reunited - but one of
them unwittingly carries a terrible secret.
The virus is not yet dead, and this time it
is more dangerous than ever.
An original movie musical centred around

a love story, the film is set against the
backdrop of the 1960s.
After producing a string of bestsellers

discrediting paranormal events in the
most infamous haunted houses and
graveyards around the world, Enslin's
perceptions are about to be challenged
when he checks into suite 1408 of the
notorious Dolphin Hotel for his latest
project, `Ten Nights in Haunted Hotel
Rooms.'
Defying the warnings of the hotel
manager, the author is the first person in
years to stay in the reputedly haunted
room. Another bestseller may be
imminent, but first he must go from
sceptic to true believer and confront his
demons if he is to survive the night.

Amid the turbulent years of anti-war

protest, mind exploration and rock'n'roll,
the film moves from the dockyards of
Liverpool to the creative psychedelia of
Greenwich Village, from the riot-torn
streets of Detroit to the killing fields of
Vietnam.
The star-crossed lovers, Jude and Lucy,
along with a small group of friends and
musicians, are swept up into the emerging
anti-war and counterculture movements
with Dr Robert and Mr Kite as their
guides. Tumultuous forces outside their
control ultimately tear the young lovers
apart, forcing Jude and Lucy - against all
odds - to find their own way back to one
another.

Akashagopuram
(Castle in the Air)
Alien Rising
All Bar Love
An adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's The

Master Builder, which focuses on Albert
Samson, a middle-aged architect. His
single-minded focus on his job has
hardened him and prevented him from
having a meaningful private life. Samson
refuses to let Alex, the son of his dying
assistant, either progress in his firm or
leave it to strike out alone, for fear of
being eclipsed. Into this tension comes
Hilda, a young woman who has idolised
Samson since he built a church in her
home town and climbed to the top of its
tower during its dedication ceremony.
In a quaint, mysterious village, Jake and

best friend Kevin work on Jake's garden,
digging a pond while Jake's parents are
away on holiday. Very soon their digging
uncovers a small, battered and scratched
old box, seemingly buried long ago, and
with good reason. The two friends regret
their curious discovery when they awaken
the dark secret inside.
Martin is living a loveless and sex-starved

existence. If he doesn't pull himself
together, his ex-wife will sell his beloved
wine bar. Martin is cast back into the
horrifying world of London dating. His
best friend, Liam thinks he knows what a
woman wants, but only one night at a
time.
Samson had promised Hilda, then aged

twelve, à kingdom'; now she has come to
collect. In long conversations Samson
describes how his ambition has kept him
from true satisfaction. Hilda urges him to
allow Alex to leave the firm; Samson
eventually acquiesces.
Samson has been building himself a new
house. It features a tall tower which both
Samson and his wife fear is too great for
him to climb. However, at Hilda's
repeated requests, Samson agrees to do
so, telling her that they will build `castles
in the air.'

Now, something evil lurks within the deep

shadows of the house at night. Whatever
this horror is appears to transform humans
into some kind of alien creatures. The
young men's terror is only just beginning
as they discover monstrous eggs that can
crawl.
Jake and Kevin have no option but to kill
these hellish creatures before they
themselves are killed, or worse. Now they
must do anything they can to survive. In a
race against time, they must escape the
house, the village, and their fear.

Almost Heaven
Amazing Grace
Ana Begins
Mark is on a collision course with personal

and professional self-destruction. Given a
last chance, he is to direct a fishing show
set in the Borders region of Scotland.
There are, however, two conditions: he
must stay sober and he must work closely
with the show's temperamental star, Taya,
his ex-wife.
William Wilberforce was born into the

British Empire when the country's
influence around the globe was at its most
powerful. It was, however, an age when
the rumblings of social discontent were
emerging, and a time when reformers
faced an uphill struggle to be heard.
Ana's husband has died. She finds herself

alone, isolated in her home on the
outskirts of a rural village in North Devon,
trying to start again. It is a cold February:
grey, wet, misty days blur into one.
Everything that can possibly go wrong does.

Taya drives the show's traditional fishing
guide (ghillie) off the set and low water
levels ensure that there are no fish to be
found. Mark grapples for a chance to
change but falls right back into his old
ways.
In a desperate attempt to save the TV
series, Mark poaches a dead fish to stage
a catch for the cameras. It all goes
horribly wrong and he is busted by the
gorgeous female ghillie, Nicki. Mark is
drawn to her and her quiet rural life but
are his feelings strong enough to keep him
on the straight and narrow?

A good friend of Prime Minister William

Pitt, Wilberforce joins Parliament and
campaigns for the abolition of slavery.
Wilberforce is torn between his successful
rising career and his desire to give it all up
for a life of spirituality. He seeks the advice
of mentor John Newton, a former slave
trader who turned to the Church in order to
atone for his earlier life. He suggests that
the best way for Wilberforce to serve God
would be to fight injustice with his political
influence. Inspired, Wilberforce quickly
becomes the rallying voice in Parliament
for a fragmented group of like-minded
people to fight the cause and make the
people of Britain, and ultimately the world,
acknowledge the horror of the Slave Trade.
Amazing Grace follows Wilberforce's career
through his 20s and 30s, as he and his
fellow humanitarians make the issue of
slavery a talking point, not only in political
circles, but also throughout the country.

At first Frazer is there as a support, a

solid presence, a man's man: someone to
lean on. Yet Fraser is also lost. Ana is
young and beautiful; he is older, trapped
in a marriage that died years ago. The
relationship develops. There is tension
and it's complicated. Guilt is felt on both
sides and as time passes Frazer begins to
fall in love with her. Confused emotions
and suppressed desire drive the two
towards inevitable conflict until finally
Ana must confront her true feelings for
Frazer and, with or without him, move
on. Her only certainty: that by the end
she will be beginning all over again.

And When Did You

Last See Your Father?
Angel
Atonement
Arthur Morrison and his wife Kim are GPs

in Yorkshire. Their son Blake, 40, is having
to face the fact that his father is
terminally ill. During a family trip in the
late 1950s, Arthur hits the hard shoulder
to skip a long queue of traffic and the
rest of the family are crippled with
embarrassment. Many such flashbacks
illustrate Arthur's bluff attitude to life
and his pride in getting something for
nothing. These childhood episodes also
introduce Beaty and her daughter, Josie.
It soon becomes clear that Beaty and
Arthur are more than just friends and that
Josie is potentially Arthur's child.
England, 1905.
Based on Ian McEwan's best selling novel.

In the summer of 1935, 13 year-old Briony
Tallis sees her older sister Cecilia strip off
her clothes and plunge into the fountain
in the garden of their country house.
Watching Cecilia is their housekeeper's
son, Robbie Turner, a childhood friend. By
the end of the day the lives of all three
will have been changed forever. Robbie
and Cecilia will have crossed a boundary
they had never before dared to approach
and will have become victims of the
younger girl's scheming imagination, and
Briony will have committed a dreadful
crime, the guilt for which will colour her
entire life.
Adult Blake strives to find out the truth

and uncovers the interesting parameters
of his father's marriage. It is clear that
Arthur still dominates his grown-up son.
Only after Arthur's death is Blake is finally
able to make peace with his memories.

Baker, The
Bathory
Becoming Jane
Milo is a professional hit man living on the

edge. When he fails to fulfill a contract
for the first time in his career, he is
forced to escape the city to avoid the
wrath of his employers who are keen to
make him pay for his apparent failure.
Countess Elizabeth Bathory has been

called the greatest murderess of history
but evidence has never been found to
prove the accusations. The film aims to
settle the issue by telling the story as it
should be heard, within its historical
context.
Twenty-two year-old Jane Austen is in a

spot of trouble.
Pursued by a ruthless colleague who has

been charged with delivering his
punishment, Milo hides out in a remote
rural village where the locals mistake him
for the new baker. Forced to bake bread
and cakes to maintain his cover, what he
discovers in the process is nothing short of
a revelation. When sparks fly with the
beautiful local vet, he decides to start a
legitimate new life as the village baker
but with his past about to catch up with
him, Milo soon discovers that you can't
always have your cake and eat it.

Sparks fly and the pair fall in love. With
Tom's reputation and Jane's family, the
affair seems doomed.

But it's not long before Spiker and
Cobakka realise that, legally, they aren't
going to get very far. So, aided by the
dodgy Artash, they learn to shoplift from
supermakets, rip off banks, joyride on the
Tube and cheat mobile phone companies.
Jared is taken to the coast by his new

girlfriend, Alice. They stay in the seaside
cottage she's owned all her life with her
sister, Cleo. As soon as he gets there,
Jared begins to have haunting dreams of a
distant exotic land. The dreams excite
Alice. When Cleo arrives unexpectedly,
she somehow seems to know about his
dreams. Gradually Jared realises that the
sisters are using the dreams to uncover a
long buried secret from their childhood,
when they lived in Vietnam and their
parents were brutally murdered. But who
was the murderer? And why does Jared
begin to feel that his life is now
threatened? As the landscape and the
house reveal their secrets, Jared becomes
more and more drawn into the twisted
world of the Boat People. The events of
twenty years ago refuse to release their
grip on the present.
Deepa also befriends a fellow doctor, a

British Asian, Dr Deepak. As her fellowship
in the UK comes to an end, Deepak
surprises Deepa by proposing to her and
they get married almost on the eve of her
return to India. But not everyone is happy
with this marriage. Ramola, Deepak's
childhood friend, is heartbroken.
When Deepa returns to India to tender
her resignation, Dr Ravi is disappointed,
as he had hoped that Deepa would marry
the city magistrate Manoj, and her
expertise would have been valued by the
Indian society. Experiencing India for the
first time, Deepak surprises Deepa and
many others by what he proposes in the
wake of his time abroad.

Bombil & Beatrice
Botched
Bourne Ultimatum, The
One hundred years ago, a beautiful young

English woman named Beatrice promised a
young Indian man named Vilas that she
would wait for him, for a hundred years if
needs be.
Ritchie Donovan is a professional thief

whose luck has just run out. The only
survivor from a heist that goes terribly
wrong, Ritchie is forced to take the rap
and is sent to Russia to steal a priceless
antique cross locked in a safe on the
penthouse floor of a Moscow skyscraper.
Trained assassin Jason Bourne returns for

his latest showdown. All he wanted was to
disappear. Instead, Jason Bourne is now
hunted by the people who made him what
he is. Having lost his memory and the one
person he loved, he is undeterred by the
barrage of bullets and a new generation
of highly trained killers. Bourne has only
one objective: to go back to the
beginning and find out who he was.
At the height of the British Raj, these star

crossed lovers share a love that defies
both their worlds. On the night of New
Years Eve, Beatrice escapes from her
family to elope with her lover.
One hundred years later, in the urban
slums of today's Mumbai, Beatrice tracks
down the reincarnation of her lover from
a century ago. Vilas is now Bombil the
hitman, and she has a job for him.
At the appointed hour, at the appointed
time, one hundred years after destiny
struck, what will he do? Can he redeem
himself in this lifetime for the promises
he made in the last? Can he kill the very
thing he loved?

Brick Lane
Broken, The
Broken Thread
After an arranged marriage, 17 year-old

Nazneen exchanges her Bangladeshi
village for London's East End. Pining for
home and her sister, she struggles to
make sense of her existence and to do her
duty to her husband, a man of inflated
ideas (and stomach).
On a busy London street, Gina thinks she

sees herself drive past in her own car.
Stunned by this strange event, she follows
the mystery woman up to her apartment.
From here events take an eerie turn for
the worse until Gina's awareness slides
from solid reality into a world that will
haunt more than just her nightmares.
A half-Indian, half-English businessman,

Ram, is haunted by Lily, a mysterious
woman from his past who threatens to
wreck his marriage and comfortable
family situation. As Ram is tormented by
nightmares, his wife tries to protect their
son from his father's terrors.
But Nazneen submits to fate and devotes

herself to her family and suppressing her
discontent. That is until Karim, a hotheaded local man, bursts into her life.
Against a background of escalating racial
tension, they embark on an affair that
finally forces Nazneen to take control of
her life. Set in multicultural Britain, Brick
Lane is a contemporary story of love,
cultural difference and the strength of
the human spirit.

Build a Ship, Sail to

Sadness
Burning Light
Buy, Borrow, Steal
An absurdist musical travelogue which

follows solitary young Vincent as he rides
on his moped through a deserted Scottish
mountain region. His mission is to heal
the loneliness of a few scattered
inhabitants by introducing a mobile disco
to the region. Driven by messianic
determination and an addiction to petrol
fumes, he struggles to keep his
disintegrating vision afloat amidst the
hostile landscape and stubborn
indifference of the locals.
A dark poem that takes us into an interior

world of nihilism and emptiness. The film
addresses the terrorism phenomenon
through the eyes of two disillusioned
young men. The film is also a testimony
to the desensitised perception that any of
us can acquire while watching images on
the television or on the internet.
Broody Georgina is delighted at her sisterin-law's new baby but her boyfriend Zak
isn't as enthusiastic. Georgina begins to
panic when she discovers that early
menopause runs in the family. She visits

While Georgina awaits the results, she

and Zak visit the new baby and he
demonstrates his utter disinterest in
children. Things come to a head and
Georgina breaks up with Zak, telling him
she'll get a baby from someone else if
he's not interested. Zak is sure everything
will blow over but his mate Ben warns
him not to take Georgina for granted.
To her horror Georgina gets a surprise call
from Dupont's clinic, telling her she has
one chance to get pregnant and just two
weeks to prepare. Poor Georgina is
distraught and attempts to get hold of
Zak but is fended off by Alexandra, a
conniving, jumped-up PA.
So with no real choice, Georgina starts to
plan how she's going to get pregnant: by
buying, borrowing or stealing if necessary.
Georgina's escapades become more
frantic and elaborate as she explores
internet sperm donors, nightclubs and
gate-crashes a funeral in her desperate
and hilarious quest.

Bye Bye Miss Goodnight
Calon Gaeth (Small

Country)
Camille
On any other night Rajesh would have

fallen asleep in the cafeteria to sounds of
old folk tales on his battered Walkman.
Today, however, is the day he's leaving.
He's decided he will drive his taxi into the
Bombay night; wherever daylight breaks is
where he's going to stop and start anew.
Sounds pretty straight forward. If only the
eccentric masseur, who has appointed
himself new best friend to our hapless
cabby, can convince Rajesh that leaving
Bombay at six a.m. won't get him past
the city limits, he may actually stand a
chance. The crackly old folk tales Rajesh
listens to punctuate the narrative, guiding
him like an unwritten map as he embarks
on this haphazard road trip into the weird
and wonderful. A trip that only gets
stranger with the arrival of a stowaway
hidden under a pile of fruit in the back
seat. You can't get lost if you don't know
where you're going.
A drama focusing on personal truth,

honesty, duty and morality in a
surprisingly modern world. On the cusp of
the first World War, radical changes in
society across Europe are gradually
permeating the beautiful lazy countryside
of West Wales.
Silas was born on the wrong side of the

tracks. In trouble since his youth, there is
only one person who cares for him,
Camille. Despite her unconditional love
and adoration, Silas treats her like a bad
problem. Silas is released from prison to
marry Camille and the two embark on the
brides' fantasy honeymoon, a trip to
Niagara Falls. Tragedy strikes, but out of
the ashes of their doomed marriage the
power of love rises and carries Silas and
Camille on a magical journey that
stretches the line between reality and
dreams.

Copying Beethoven
Cowfusion
Ian Curtis has aspirations beyond the

trappings of small town life in 1970s
Macclesfield. Wanting to emulate his
musical heroes such as David Bowie and
Iggy Pop, he joins a band and his musical
ambition begins to thrive. Soon though,
the everyday fears and emotions that fuel
his music slowly begin to eat away at him.
An aspiring composer of humble means,

23 year-old Anna Holtz is seeking
inspiration and career advancement in the
world's music capital, Vienna. She
orchestrates an opportunity to work
beside the greatest, most mercurial artist
alive - Ludwig van Beethoven.
John is a man possessed by the spirit of a

cowboy and caught up in a war of pride,
desire and very big guns. The beautiful
but dangerous Roberta needs a hero and
John is the only one crazy enough to fight
for her life.
Married young, with a daughter, he is

distracted from his family commitments
by a new love and the growing
expectations of his band. The strain
manifests itself in his health. With
epilepsy adding to his guilt and
depression, desperation takes hold.
Surrendering to the weight on his
shoulders, Ian's tortured soul consumes
him.

impromptu challenge, Anna demonstrates
her competence and musical insight. The
maestro accepts Anna as his copyist,
beginning a remarkable relationship that
will transform both their lives.
The film centres on the last years of

profound inspiration for his Ninth
symphony.

Dark Night
Dark Side of Heaven
Daylight Robbery
An abandoned house and a group of

friends. A party. Why has the house been
abandoned? What happened there? A
psychological thriller in which a
frightening story unfolds through the eyes
of each character. The script twists and
turns and nothing is as it first seems. This
is a British B-movie not for the faint of
heart nor the weak of stomach.
A four person crew are sent to bring back a

mothballed ship parked at the back of
Pluto. This is no ordinary cruiser but
contains layers of unusual leisure facilities.
The crew are also unnerved by the religious
symbolism of the ship; it's as though the
ship had some other unknown purpose.
A gang of robbers has plotted to steal

millions of untraceable cash that is
stacked in the underground vaults of the
London Exchange Bank waiting for its last
journey to incineration.
The group are on their way to the long

abandoned Morgan house, once infamous
as the venue of a number of cruel
unsolved murders, now renowned amongst
teenagers as a great social venue. The
party is great fun: drinks, drugs and sex.
All is good, until the house's dark history
comes back to haunt the partying gang.
Who killed the Morgans? Was it the father?
A psychopathic killer? A monstrous beast
lurking in the woods? Or is there a darker
force at work?

Death of a President
Deaths of Ian Stone, The
Delhi Boom
Years after the assassination of President

George W Bush in Chicago, an
investigative documentary examines that
as-yet-unsolved crime.
Ian Stone is an all-American kid with a

great life and a wonderful girlfriend,
Jenny Walker. Late one night while driving
home from a painful ice hockey loss, Ian
comes across a bewildering discovery:
something that looks very like a dead
body near a railroad crossing.
An unusual story of two brothers facing a

moral dilemma: the choice between
saving the life of a woman, or carrying
out the instructions of a disturbed money
launderer.
Using real life archive footage of George

W Bush, Death of a President is a
controversial conspiracy thriller with a
unique premise. Told in the style of a
retrospective documentary, the film offers
a critique of the contemporary US
political landscape.

Dirty Sanchez: The Movie
Don't Stop Dreaming
Donkey Punch
The devil has rounded up the Sanchez

boys to set them the ultimate challenge:
to travel the world in search of the Seven
Deadly Sins. The fearsome foursome are
ordered to embark on a world tour,
hitting England, Wales, Russia, Thailand,
Japan, Mexico and the Dominican
Republic, where they will surrender
themselves to the evils of sloth, anger,
lust, envy, pride, gluttony and avarice.
Set in Birmingham, England, the story

revolves around the trials and tribulations
of a group of misunderstood teenagers.
Led by Gabby, the group come together to
form a multi-ethnic band that fuses
eastern and western pop music to win a
recording deal.
After meeting at a nightclub in a

Mediterranean resort, seven young
holidaymakers decide to continue the
party aboard a luxury yacht they sail out
to the middle of the ocean. But when one
of them dies in a freak accident just as
the party turns particularly hedonistic,
some want to report the accident, while
others will go to any lengths to prevent

Donovan Slacks
Dot Com
Dreamscape
It is 1928 and Donovan Slacks, a man with

a fragile head, is sent to a sea-bathing
hospital. He lives fearing an accident,
fearing change, fearing life and yet
wanting more. Staying there on doctor's
orders, Donovan has a picture postcard
view. Nonetheless, it is yet another place
to feel trapped in - until he discovers the
illicit world of the local fishermen.
Pedro is a 27 year-old road engineer,

posted to a small village in the north of
Portugal. He becomes a popular figure on
account of the website he has created, in
his spare time, on behalf of the village
association.
A thrill-seeking businessman signs up with

Dreamscape Inc, provider of electronic
dreams and vivid fantasies. Transformed
into an unstoppable courier, he enters the
dangerous world of corporate espionage.
Hunted by government agents, he carries
out his mission with brutal efficiency.
However, illusion quickly turns into
nightmare as reality and fantasy blur.
When he falls in love with a fishergirl,

Donovan discovers the bitter truth about
his past and life goes into free fall. In the
eye of the storm he takes a decision determined to break free, he leads the
fishermen in an uprising against the
government. But as things spiral out of
control can Donovan Slacks really become
the leader everyone desperately needs?

When Pedro loses his job and his

girlfriend, he becomes increasingly
preoccupied with the website project.
Then one day, he receives a letter from a
large Spanish multinational corporation,
Vinam, ordering him to close the website
on the grounds of domain infringement
and threatening to sue him for $500,000.
Pedro agrees to close the webpage but
the villagers refuse and as it was created
in the name of the village association,
only its members can close it. The
villagers demand that Vinam pay them
$500,000. The situation spins out of
control as the villagers find themselves in
the international media spotlight. The
arrival of Vinam's representative, the
beautiful Elena, increases tensions further
and Pedro soon finds himself attracted to
her despite their opposing views. Then
there's Pedro's former girlfriend, Ana,
who is covering the story for Portuguese
television. The villagers themselves begin
to change under the media spotlight, and
not always for the better.

Dressing Granite
Dying Breed, A
Eichmann
The film is about a father and son who

come from a long line of stonemasons
who carve granite headstones in a remote
Cornish quarry. The son, Matthew, has
plans to expand the business and apply
their traditional skills to more interesting
and lucrative projects. But unable to offer
Matthew any encouragement, Ben, his
father, loses himself increasingly in
reminiscences of the past.
Six disparate strangers take refuge in an

old manor house from the searing fallout
of a catastrophic atmospheric explosion
that rocks their small town. They fear
they may be the sole survivors of the
apocalypse.
A film based on the transcripts of Adolf

Eichmann's pre-trial interrogation as he
tells Avner Less, a young Israeli police
officer, of his past as the architect of
Hitler's plan for the Final Solution.
When Ben's lapses of memory are

diagnosed as Alzheimer's, Matthew's plans
for the future hit the rocks. Facing
financial ruin due to the costs of Ben's
nursing care, Matthew prepares to sell the
family business.
In the last moments of his life, Ben finds
the words to acknowledge his son's talent
and show him that it's the past that gives
us our sense of place in the world and the
means to move forward. Then, by dying,
Ben releases his son from everything that
is holding him back.

With time, terror subsides, love blossoms,

rivalries deepen, leaderships evolve and
life within the shambling manor house
takes on a strange, sheltered comfort.
The unnatural routine continues until
Alex, refusing to accept that his
suffocating wretched existence is all he
will ever know, resolves to take his
chances in whatever remains of the
broken planet.
However, the more headstrong amongst
the remaining survivors, knowing Alex's
departure would crumble their illbegotten minuscule empire and end their
closeted subsistence, go to some
decidedly inhumane lengths to ensure his
rebellious spirit remains securely
contained.

Our protagonist Avner Less, has the

unenviable task of extracting some of the
darkest secrets of the Nazi era - secrets
which directly affect his own past.
Ordered to interrogate Adolf Eichmann who had been hiding in Argentina for
fifteen years, working as a chicken farmer
and car salesman - Avner must break
down the former SS officer who is
preparing his defence of the indefensible.
Eichmann explains to his interrogator how
he has resolved his own conscience,
drawing upon similarities in the two men's
lives. No greater insult is possible for
Avner: a German Jew forced to flee to
Israel from a world of Eichmann's
creation. Yet, he must continue as this is
a task that could change a nation forever.

Elizabeth: The Golden Age
Elvis and Anabelle
Elvis Pelvis
The tale of an era: the story of one

woman's crusade to control love, crush
enemies and secure her position as a
beloved icon of the western world. As
Elizabeth's cousin, Mary Stuart, conspires
with Philip of Spain to topple the throne,
Sir Francis Walsingham, Elizabeth's trusty
advisor, works tirelessly to protect her
from the many plots and conspiracies
against her. Preparing to go to war to
defend her empire, Elizabeth struggles to
balance royal duties with an unexpected
vulnerability in her attraction to Raleigh.
Elvis is a mortician in his family's funeral

home where his sense of family obligation
and love for his eccentric, infirm father
keep him from following his dreams.
Elvis Pelvis is told in two parts; the first,

The Suit, tells of a ten year-old boy, Elvis,
who lives under the tyranny of his father,
Tony - a policeman and stern
disciplinarian, obsessed with Elvis Presley.
Elvis is frequently on the receiving end of
Tony's obsession and his attempts at
rebellion are often met with physical
abuse. Elvis' only salvation is his mother,
Marcia, who is left powerless and retreats
into a world of Christianity and heroin,
leaving Elvis prey to his father's attempts
at making a man of him. The tension in
the house escalates when Tony presents
Elvis with an unwanted birthday gift.

Anabelle is a small-town beauty queen

being groomed for the big time by her
pushy showbiz mother who makes all her
decisions for her. Their two lives are
worlds apart but dramatically collide
when Anabelle collapses and dies on the
pageant catwalk and ends up on Elvis'
embalming table. On a dark and stormy
night at work, Elvis magically revives
Anabelle with an impulsive and innocent
kiss.
News of her remarkable recovery sparks a
media frenzy. Worn down by her mother
and the media hype and haunted by
visions of her uncanny awakening,
Anabelle is drawn back to the funeral
home. There, with the help of Elvis and
his father, Anabelle finds refuge and
begins to find herself. She and Elvis
gradually start to connect and they soon
discover their true feelings for one
another. But the world is close behind and
the young lovers are torn apart by tragic
events that leave each of them alone to
question their lives, their choices and
their love.

Escapist, The
Exodus
Expiry Date
Frank Perry is a lifer, thirteen years into

his sentence and institutionalised. When
his estranged daughter falls ill, he is
determined to make peace with her
before it's too late. He develops an
ingenious escape plan and recruits a
dysfunctional band of escapists. These
include Lenny Drake, a man who `can
walk through walls' and who craves
revenge against a released con who ratted
on him, Brodie who once worked in the
sewers beneath the prison, and Viv the
prison `medicine man'.
Moses is the son of populist politician of

the ruling class Pharoah Mann. Pharaoh
has found the perfect solution for the
Promised Land. All the unwanted
elements of society - asylum seekers,
petty criminals and ethnic minorities are forced to live in the shanty-town of
Dreamland.
Rhys Jones is so fed up. His parents hate

him, his friends are losers and the girl of
his dreams doesn't know he exists. When
he inherits a no-limits credit card he
thinks his luck has changed and it has, it's
just got worse. The card is possessed and
the race is on before everyone who has
made purchases on the card dies at the
hand of the things bought. Clothing,
guitars, furniture and even baked beans
have been bought on the card and on the
expiry date they all come to life to claim
back the interest, in blood.
The group plan to escape via the

basement laundry driers. But they hadn't
counted on the arrival of James Lacey - a
young con whose surface vulnerability
belies a violent rage. Tony, the dangerous
brother of wing king Rizza, torments
Lacey and a fatal encounter puts the
escape in jeopardy. With Rizza on his tail,
Frank must lead the group, joined by
Lacey, on an escape like none that's ever
been seen.

guard after witnessing a violent attack on a
young woman, Zipporah. Now in exile in
Dreamland, Moses falls in love and marries

is killed by Pharoah's Pest Control forces
whilst protecting a street child. Moses leads
the construction of a giant funeral pyre for
Jethro, challenging Pharoah to tear down
the fence while a peaceful solution is still
possible. Pharoah refuses and so Moses
leads a guerilla war to liberate the
inhabitants of Dreamland. He and his
followers poison the sea, infect computers
and lethally contaminate foodstuffs. Many
innocent people lose their lives. After a
final act of atrocity, Pharoah surrenders
and the Exodus from Dreamland begins.

Extraordinary
Rendition
Far North
Feral Generation, The
A man is abducted from the streets of

London and transported via secret flights
to an unknown country. Held in solitary
confinement and cut off from the outside
world, he is plunged into a lawless
nightmare of detention without trial,
interrogation and torture. Returned
without explanation to the UK many
months later, he is left to pick up the
pieces of a shattered life in a world he no
longer recognises.
A dark epic thriller about the battle for

survival. Revenge, jealousy and courage
are played out against the harsh beauty of
the desolate Arctic tundra.
In 2004, a Home Office survey revealed

that there are 20 to 60 youngsters, aged
16 to 24, living rough in each inner city in
the UK. Young rough sleepers are
responsible for vast levels of crime and,
in almost all cases, have come from
broken homes and have suffered a history
of abuse, both physical and sexual, most
of the time inflicted on them by their
parents. This film is inspired by this
reality.

Ferryman, The
Finding Bob McArthur
Fishtales
On a calm ocean, in a thick fog, a group

of tourists on a pleasure craft are about
to cross paths with an ancient and
terrible evil. Sharing the same ocean, a
dying old Greek man drifts alone on a
stricken yacht.
A mockumentary which traces the life of

Scottish director, Bob McArthur, whose
career effectively ended in 1974 when
production of his South American film was
halted by its producer. He returned to
Scotland to research and develop a film
project about Robert Louis Stevenson.
Following in the author's footsteps,
McArthur disappeared for years in the
South Seas. Now McArthur is being
honoured in Scotland with a lifetime
achievement award. As the award
ceremony approaches, his story is
uncovered through archive material and
the memories and opinions of those who
have known him.
Widowed Oxford University Greek History

professor Thomas is about to lose his
research grant studying ancient love
spells. He knows he is close to a major
academic breakthrough, and desperately
wants to continue his research. Thomas is
given one last chance to continue his
work on a Greek island at the home of
the supportive Professor Coulter. He is
joined by his twelve year-old daughter,
Serena, who knows that what her father
needs most of all is to find love again
after the loss of his wife.
The Greek has been cheating death for

countless years. He carries a deadly
weapon, the Shifting Blade, that gives its
possessor an awesome power. But now the

London, beginning of the 1960s. London

Diamond Corporation (Lon Di) makes
millions by monopolising the market and
exploiting Southern African countries.
With anti-capitalist riots shaking Africa it
becomes more and more difficult for Lon
Di to remain the dominant power.
A rock'n'roll horror that tells the story of

Johnny Taylor, a shy and stuttering Teddy
Boy who longs to dance with teenage jive
queen Sally Andrews - only to have his
dream crushed by her cruel boyfriend.
The story of a young American female

academic at Oxford University. She is at
odds with the established system and
finds refuge writing crime stories in which
she imagines herself to be the glamorous
femme fatale. Her world changes when
the characters from her fiction appear to
come to life and she is arrested for a
serious crime. This dual narrative thriller,
set in London and Oxford, blurs the
distinction between fiction and reality as
our heroine begins to question everyone
and everything around her.
Laura has just offered another brilliant

solution to a problem with one of the
African diamond suppliers. However, no
matter how bright she is she won't be
promoted to become the first ever female
managing director of one of the male
dominated Lon Di subsidiaries. This makes
her a perfect collaborator for Hobbs, a
janitor who decides to break the bank
before retiring. Driven not so much by
mercantile motives, but by revenge for
his dead wife, Hobbs offers Laura a
flawless plan to rob the inner sanctum of
Lon Di - a diamond vault that's worth
billions of dollars.

Full Monteverdi, The
Funny Games
A romantic comedy which playfully pits

the French against the British in the art of
relationships. Journalist Jed prepares to
interview French auteur and selfappointed expert on the nature of love,
Thierry Grimandi. Jed is dead set on
dismissing the auteur's musings as absurd
until his own relationship with Cheryl
starts to fall apart, and he is forced to reevaluate everything he thought he knew
about love. But Jed's not the only one.
Even drinking buddy Marcus starts to
prefer the subject of love to football
when his perfect relationship with Sophie
takes an unexpected turn.
A film following the simultaneous breakup of six couples.
Georg and Anna, with their son Georgie,

are traveling to their lakeside summer
home. Upon arrival, Georg and Georgie
head off to the lake for sailing while Anna
prepares dinner in the kitchen. The
serenity is shattered by a young man
named Peter, who knocks at the door
asking to borrow some eggs. The
unwanted visitor is joined by Paul, a
brash, arrogant young man. It soon
becomes clear the pair have no intention
of leaving. When Georg returns and tries
to throw them out, physical violence
erupts, and the family is held captive.
What ensues is highly disturbing and
violent games are initiated by Paul and
Peter with George, Anna and Georgie as
the unwilling participants.

Monteverdi's fourth book of madrigals,

generally accepted as the finest, most
virtuosic, and varied collection of
unaccompanied vocal music ever written,
explores the emotional state of lovers at
different stages of break-up.
Six couples are seated in a restaurant,
during their meals, the couples begin to
break up. Onlookers are drawn to the
interactions of their fellow diners, yet are
also wary of their invasive gaze; for some,
there is a temptation to intervene, for
others only annoyance at the public
display. The couples sometimes reflect on
better times and on unrealised dreams
but, ultimately, the six (singing) lovers are
left to contemplate life alone.

George Gently
Ghosts
Regarded by his neighbours as a tragic

misfit, eliciting idle kindness, benign
tolerance and occasional abuse, Josie has
spent all his adult life as the caretaker of
a crumbling petrol station on the outskirts
of a small town in the midwest of Ireland.
He is limited, lonely, yet relentlessly
optimistic and in his own peculiar way,
happy. But then, over the course of a
summer, Josie's world shifts. A teenager,
David, comes to work with him. They
open up to each other and suddenly the
lonely adult is drinking cans down at the
railway tracks with the local kids. He is
awakened to needs in himself that have
never been met. And Carmel from the
local shop, who has always been kind to
him, stirs feelings within him that he
struggles to name. And then one
thoughtless moment unravels the threads
of faltering friendship. Events spiral.
Josie's life is changed. Forever.
It's 1964 and the police force is becoming

increasingly corrupt. George Gently
strongly believes in the criminal justice
system but his investigations reveal that
the criminal underworld has a tight hold
over the force.
Based on a true story, this film is a

disturbing portrayal of a secret world that
is all around us.

Grow Your Own
Gary Sheller's image of himself is

deteriorating: his former success as a pop
musician has vanished, his job as a
commercial jingle writer is uninspiring and
degrading, his relationship with his
girlfriend Dora is a constant struggle, and he
passed his thirtieth birthday four years ago.
Add to that the fact that his best friend and
former band mate Paul seems to become
more successful every time he breathes.
South Africa, 1968. 25 million blacks are

ruled by four million whites under the
brutal apartheid regime.
Real life, true love, and plump

vegetables, on a city allotment where a
refugee family are given a plot to help
rehabilitate their traumatised father. At
first they are met with suspicion by the
people who have passionately worked
their gardens for years, but eventually
they are accepted into a diverse
community united by their love of making
things grow.
Gary is depressed and dejected . . . until he

meets Anna. In Anna he finds a love,
contentment and self-worth absent in his
real life. She is fully committed to Gary
sexually, artistically, and intellectually. Anna
is the girl of Gary's dreams . . . literally. But
Gary can only see Anna in his dream life and
consequently seeks a means to carry on the
most satisfying relationship of his life, in his
dreams. His quest for lucid dreaming
techniques leads Gary to an eccentric, post
Beat era, New Age idealist named Mel who
guides Gary through his complicated
pursuits. As Gary shuns reality to dedicate
himself to the security and comfort of his
dreams, his waking life troubles worsen.

James Gregory, a typical white Afrikaner,

regards blacks as sub-human. Having
grown up on a farm in Transkei, he speaks
Xhosa. This makes him ideal to be the
warder in charge of Mandela and his
comrades on Robben Island. Gregory
speaks their language and can spy on
them. However, the plan backfires.
Through Mandela's influence, Gregory's
allegiance gradually shifts from the racist
government to the struggle for a free
South Africa. Through their friendship, we
witness both Gregory's gradual awareness
of man's inhumanity, and also the
evolution away from apartheid.

Hallam Foe
Hamlet
Hannibal Rising
Hallam Foe has a talent for spying on

people. Most of all, he spies on Verity - his
alluring, feline stepmother, who he believes
is implicated in his mother's murder: an
enigma that haunts and drives him. The
more Hallam becomes obsessed with
Verity's guilt, the more his attraction to her
grows. When she confronts him, Hallam is
helpless to resist her seductive power.
Set in a surrealistic, Kalfkaesque no man's

land, this adapatation concentrates on
the nightmarish, supernatural ether of
Shakespeare's play. Though the text is
unaltered the character's personalities
have been changed. Polonius, originally a
doddering sweet old man is now Polonia a scheming femme fatale. Polonia aims to
get her younger sister Ophelia, whom she
controls through the use of addictive
drugs, married into the royal family. And
Laertes, originally a noble gentleman, is
now a mindless thug.
At the end of World War II, a young

Hannibal watches as his parents die
violently. This horrific moment will soon
pale in comparison to the atrocities he is
forced to witness and survive in his early
life.
Having fled to Edinburgh, Hallam catches a

glimpse of Kate, a young woman who looks
uncannily like his mother, and discovers
another use for his particular skill. He talks
his way into a job at the hotel where she
works and from its clocktower he begins to
spy on Kate. But Hallam's visions are marred
by the discovery of Kate's liaison with
Alasdair, who, more worryingly, realises they
are being watched. Just when Hallam
manages to break up their affair and Kate
begins to fall for him, Hallam's old demons
float inexorably back to the surface.
An invitation to betray the memory of his
mother is the vindication Hallam needs to
exact his revenge. On the brink of making
a terrible mistake, Hallam has one last
chance to grow up and look at the enemy
within, rather than those around him.

Alone and forced to live in a Soviet

cannot soothe the nightmares that plague

provide the tools to exact justice on the
war criminals that haunt him. This quest
ignites an insatiable lust within a serial

Harry Potter and the

Order of the Phoenix
Heart of the Earth, The
Hellbride
It has been a lonely summer for Harry Potter,

living with the Dursleys and without any
contact with his closest friends or news
about his confrontation with Lord Voldemort.
The only news that does arrive pronounces
that Harry is about to be expelled from
Hogwarts for illegal use of magic.
In 1887 in Huelva, Spain, spirited lass

Kathleen is being brought up by her
tyrannical uncle, Mr Crown, manager of
the Rio Tinto copper mines. The mines
emit toxic fumes which are poisoning the
locals, but Crown doesn't care. When a
Cuban revolutionary mysteriously arrives
to whip up a protest, Crown brings in the
military, who massacre the protesters.
Lee Parker and Nicole Meadows are all set

to get married. There are, however, one
or two problems on the horizon. Nicole's
engagement ring is cursed. Once the
property of a wronged bride who went on
a killing spree, the ring has a history of
bringing death and destruction to all who
come in contact with it. Not only that,
but Nicole's father has become involved in
a fearsome dispute with a local mob boss.
The argument looks perilously close to
spiralling into bloody violence at any
minute.
Harry's only hope is to defend himself at

a kangaroo court orchestrated by the
Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, who
wants him gone for good. To Fudge's
chagrin, Harry is acquitted thanks to the
intervention of Dumbledore - but his
return to Hogwarts is uncomfortable.
Harry has learned that many in the
wizarding community believe his
encounter with Voldemort to be a lie.
Harry is beset by nightmares foretelling
sinister events. Worse still, the one person
he needs most, Professor Dumbledore, is
acting strangely distant. Meanwhile, a new
Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, the
duplicitous Professor Umbridge, teaches a
class which leaves the young wizards
woefully unprepared to defend themselves,
persuading Harry to take matters into his
own hands. Meeting secretly with a small
group who name themselves `Dumbledore's
Army,' Harry teaches a real defence against
the Dark Arts, preparing the courageous
young wizards for the extraordinary battle
that he knows must await them.

High Stakes
Highlander: The Source
His Dark Materials: The

Golden Compass
A teenage girl, Lydia, finds a blood

covered young boy on the street and
takes him home for help, where the boy
viciously kills her father. Traumatised, she
arrives at the nearby church and is taken
inside by the vicar, Reverend Clegg.
As Duncan MacLeod, the Highlander,

roams a crumbling city, he remembers
happier times with Katia, the love of his
life.
Based on author Philip Pullman's novel,

The Golden Compass tells the first story in
Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy. The
Golden Compass is a fantasy adventure,
set in an alternative world where people's
souls manifest themselves as animals. At
the centre of the story is Lyra, a 12 yearold girl living amongst scholars in the
hallowed halls of Jordan College and
tearing unsupervised through Oxford's
streets on mad quests for adventure. But
Lyra's greatest adventure begins closer to
home, the day she hears hushed talk of an
extraordinary particle. Microscopic in size,
the magical dust - found only in the vast
Arctic expanse of the North, is rumored to
possess profound properties that could
unite whole universes. But there are those
who fear the particle and will stop at
nothing to destroy it. Catapulted into the
heart of a terrible struggle, Lyra is forced
to seek aid from clans, gyptians, and
formidable armored bears. As she
journeys into unbelievable danger, she has
not the faintest clue that she alone is
destined to win, or to lose, this morethan-mortal battle to save not only her
world, but ours as well.
In an illicit gambling den, Guy, a low rent

gambler, gets the opportunity of his life
to play a high rolling card player from
London. As the game goes Guy's way, the
card player and his entourage show their
true colours: they are a nomadic pack of
vampires, preying on society's low-lifes.
Guy manages to escape with his winnings,
and seeks sanctuary in the same church,
where he believes the vampires will not
be able to get to him.
Reverend Clegg is attacked and killed by
the vampire clan on the threshold of the
church. The people inside the church are
now under siege. The stakes are raised: if
Guy is not given up, the church will be
burnt to the ground by the vampire clan.
Their problems multiply as the Reverend
is reborn as a vampire, berserk with blood
lust.

Elsewhere, Zai is trying to find the

Source, the Immortal's place of origin. He
is being hunted by the Guardian from
whom Zai has taken a bronze mask which
has a strange pattern on it. This pattern
can only be deciphered by the Elder who
is hiding in a monastery.
MacLeod meets Joe Dawson, one of the
Watchers, who takes him to the
monastery of the Elder where MacLeod
finds Katia. The Elder senses Katia's
connection to the Source, and that night
Katia rises like a sleepwalker and
disappears. As the group search for her
and the Source, they are cut down one by
one. Finally, only MacLeod is left.

Hogfather
Hot Fuzz
How To Be
Hogfather is set on the semi-mediaeval

but strangely familiar Discworld. And the
Hogfather (you know, the jolly fat man)
who delivers presents to the kiddies at
Christmas at the midwinter festival of
Hogswatch has gone missing. But it's vital
that all the presents are delivered,
otherwise the sun won't rise tomorrow.
However, there is another supernatural
entity who can be everywhere at once
and, most importantly, knows where
everybody lives. He is Death, but with a
false beard and a few cushions that he
reckons might just work.
Police Constable Nicholas Angel is good at

his job, so good in fact, he makes
everyone else look bad. As a result, his
superiors at the Met have decided to
sweep him under the carpet. So it is that
London's top cop finds himself in the
sleepy West Country village of Sandford.
With garden fetes and neighbourhood
watch meetings replacing the action of
the city, Angel struggles to adapt to his
situation and finds himself partnered with
Danny Butterman, an oafish but well
meaning young constable.
A wry comedy about a twenty-something

year-old, Art. Vocationless and without
direction, he tries to make his way in the
world and develop his career as a
misunderstood singer-songwriter. But he
gets dumped by his girlfriend, has to
move back in with his parents and
subsequently hits a quarter-life crisis.
Searching to escape the general greyness
he feels, Art uses inheritance money to
indulge in retail and New Age therapies
only to end up enlisting the help of an
eccentric self-help guru, Dr Ellington.
Just as all seems lost, a series of grisly

accidents motivates Angel into action.
Convinced of foul play, Angel realises that
Sandford may not be as idyllic as it
seems. With his faithful new partner in
tow, Angel fights to prove his instincts are
correct and uncover the truth about
Sandford. Is Angel simply losing his mind
in the safest, sweetest village in Britain?
Or is something far more sinister at work?
Whatever the truth, Sandford is about to
get a lot less sleepy.
Art's journey to define his existence

brings to the fore the dysfunctional
relationship he has with his parents and
the importance of his odd-ball friends.
The film takes a look at increasingly
common phenomena: grown-up children
living at home, frustrated creativity, and
self-help.
And while he is engaged in the mysteries

of climbing down chimneys and drinking
sherry, it's up to his granddaughter Susan
to find out what has happened to the real
Hogfather. It's the dark time of the year.
There are monsters afoot. And some of
them look just like us. Ho Ho Ho. You'd
better watch out . . .

Hush Your Mouth
I Really Hate My Job
I Want Candy
In the marginal and forgotten no man's

land of London's Silvertown, a young man
stands up to stop what his friends see as
harmless fun. Darren Collin's mate is
making porn with teenage girls from the
local estates. Darren commits the
ultimate taboo and opens his mouth and,
for being a grass, is killed.
One steamy night in the lives of five

feisty waitresses, stuck in a second rate
London restaurant with delusions of
grandeur. Customers come and go,
blithely unaware of the real concerns of
these women. A rat or two in the kitchen,
bitter arguments about life and art, as
well as a coup d'e
tat in the kitchen, are
all overshadowed by the anticipation of a
booking by a famous Hollywood movie
star.
Two hopeful lads from Leatherhead trying

to break into the movies stumble upon
the opportunity of a lifetime. Frustrated
by their arty film teacher, wannabe
producer Joe and his talented but
neurotic director friend Baggy head to
London to sell what they know is a script
made of gold. Encountering nothing but
closed doors, their luck changes when an
equally desperate producer is willing to
throw some money at them provided they
nab the star he needs. There's just one
problem - he wants Candy Fiveways, the
World's No 1 adult star.
White working-class Leo is shattered and

confused by his older brother's death. He
retreats into childhood and struggles to
understand why his black friend Isaiah is
apparently guilty of the murder. While his
half-sister starts an unwitting relationship
with the real killer, and his mother sinks
deeper into grief, it is left to 17 year-old
Leo to avoid easy revenge, take unpopular
action and uncover uncomfortable truths.
In so doing he finds real friendship, the
beginnings of reconciliation with his
family and hope in places he'd never have
imagined.

In Your Dreams
Incapacity
In the chaotic aftermath of World War II,

a group of German POWs are accidentally
sent to a female-run Soviet prison camp.
When the guards are given the task of
weeding out the SS officers, they play a
bitter game of cat and mouse with the
prisoners. Each group slowly learns that
situations are not what they seem;
prejudices are sometimes unjustly held;
and love can be found in even the
harshest of places.
Albert Ross was the most ambitious little

boy in the world until an eleven year-old
girl broke his heart. Now he's grown up to
be an embittered dentist, he's done
nothing, gone nowhere and he has a stepmother from hell. One day he suffers a
mysterious accident - and suddenly finds
that whatever he dreams comes true.
Suddenly, a whole new life opens up for
him.
A film about the young and free in the

twenty-first century. A film about a
generation which, despite the new
opportunities available, doesn't actually
seem all that free. A generation that is
told to go to school, in order to go to
university, in order to get the degree
which can get you the job. But what
happens then?

It's a Free World
Jetsam
Journey to the Moon
Angie has little formal education but has

three vital ingredients surging through her
bloodstream: energy, wit and ambition.
She's tired of being messed around. She
has a point to prove to all those who
know her.
When the ice cold North Sea spits out a

young woman onto a desolate beach we
are immediately thrown into the
atmospheric world of Jetsam. This
contemporary thriller follows the story of
the washed up woman as she tries to find
out the how and why of her immediate
life.
Joe Spratt has just been laid off from his

mining job along with the rest of his
town. But, with the help of world famous
explorer Professor Bathandler and a
number of other experts, Joe sets off on a
journey to the moon, not only to save his
hometown but the whole of the British
Empire.
Along with a lost memory, to further

complicate her situation, a man whom she
discovers washed up on the same beach
attacks her. Fighting to stay alive she goes
on the run from the stranger and
desperately tries to piece her memory
back together.
Who could have known what they were to

find living on the moon or that the people
back on earth didn't want the gallant
heroes to return in one piece.
Angie works in a twilight zone between

gangmasters and employment agencies.
This is a tale set against the background
of the dynamic Anglo Saxon miracle of
flexible labour, globalisation, double shifts
and lots of happy, happy, happy
consumers: Us.

Kill Kill Faster Faster
Killer Killer
Kings
This is the story of Joe One-Way, a man

serving a life stretch for the passion
murder of his teenage bride, Kimba.
Inspired to write by Clinique, his
Jamaican cellmate, mentor and lover, Joe
pens the play White Man: Black Hole. New
York film producer Markie Mann, wanting
to make the play into a film, pulls strings
to have Joe paroled and contacts him to
write the screenplay.
In the middle of nowhere there lies a

secure facility housing only serial killers.
One morning the doors are open and the
guards have vanished, but a strange
freezing mist surrounds the building,
preventing the inmates from leaving.
Then, one by one, they are murdered.
The survivors bicker, fight and blame each
other, but the thing that's killing them
looks suspiciously like a traditional victim.
A babysitter in a shower, a cheerleader, a
camper . . .
It's 1977 and six young men from the west

coast of Ireland look forward to a future
full of promise. Sworn allies and together,
winners of several sailing medals, the lads
are a team in every way. Prospects in
Ireland, however, are slim and so, filled
with plans and ambitions for a better,
more prosperous life, the six friends head
for London where they each hope to find
their pot of gold.
Fleur is Markie Mann's beautiful wife, a

one-time hooker and ex-con, who can't
help but fall for kindred spirit Joe. Their
attraction is irresistible. Fleur is Joe's
salvation. They are propelled on a journey
of obsession, guilt and lust as Joe
struggles between the pull of heroin, his
violent impulses and the desire to redeem
himself in the eyes of his estranged twin
daughters. Joe One-Way soon discovers
that life on the outside may be too
dangerous even for him.

Thirty years later, in the big, multicultural

and indifferent metropolis of London, the
bonds that once held so firm have worn
thin through years of rivalry, bitterness
and disappointments. At this time tragic
news of one of their own comes crashing
into their fragile lives. Jackie, once their
healthy, fresh-faced team captain, has
been killed in a train accident.
Jackie's five friends reunite at his wake
where they are forced to face up to the
reality of their alienation as long term
emigrants who no longer have any real
place to call home. Each man, in his own
way, feels a special pain for this loss and,
as Jackie's father flies to London, with
heavy hearts, each man, in his own way,
prepares to say goodbye.

Knock Knock (Knocking on

Kyle
Lady Godiva
Three 16 year-old male protagonists are

debating the origins of life. This consists
of a recollection of memories from their
first day on earth. At 16 they conclude
that they are now old enough to decide
whether to live or to die.
In a barely-furnished flat, a teenage boy

seems to be living alone. We follow him
to the markets, where he finds work
helping out on a fruit stall. Meanwhile, a
young mother is pleading for extra hours
at her job. Gradually over the course of
the film we build up a picture of these
two people, their pasts and their hopes
and what might connect them. The film
intercuts two seemingly disconnected and
fragmentary narratives before offering a
glimpse of a possible resolution.
In this romantic comedy Jemima Honey is

a hard working art teacher still living at
home with her domineering and eccentric
mother. She champions the cause of local
kids, to escape the mundanity of her own
life, but she soon finds she gets more
than she bargained for when she
encounters the charming and notorious
Michael Bartle. He seems, to Jemima, to
be perfect in every way. After much soul
searching, romance ensues.

A tale of lucky chances that life can

throw at you, and the catastrophic effects
that can result from them. Four separate
stories from the dark streets of
Edinburgh, all connected by one freak
event. When a one-in-a-million moment
happens to the main character, Jack, his
life, and all those connected to it, is
changed forever.
The story of the last three days of one

woman's life: Kathy is dying of cancer and
is being nursed at home. Her husband Tom
cooks and cares for her but is unable to
offer her emotional support and keeps his
distance, playing his music or drinking
with a recently widowed friend. Kathy
forms a strong attachment to her visiting
nurse, confiding in her about her past
affairs, her ambiguous feelings towards
Tom, and her fear of death. Her closest
friend comes to visit and a rift is healed;
memories haunt her and eventually, after
a painful confrontation, she and Tom
attempt to come to terms with her
infidelities, their unhappy marriage and
the loss of their only child.
On the eve of the first global war, Tamino

sets forth in pursuit of love, light and
peace in a world afflicted by darkness,
death and destruction. Tamino waits
anxiously for the command to go into
battle. In the ensuing chaos, he is
transported to a twilight world where he
is rescued from certain death by a trio of
nurses. When Papageno stumbles onto the
scene and attempts to take credit for
saving Tamino, the nurses dispatch the
two soldiers on a deadly mission. The duo
must rescue Pamina, daughter of the
Queen of the Night, who has been
kidnapped by the dark lord, Sarastro. The
destiny of a pair of young lovers may
determine the fate of nations and the
lives of millions.
The film charts the disintegration of a

fledgling partnership by opposing criminal
factions, the determined local police and
Jack, who stumbles through the minefield
he has unwittingly created, oblivious
to the chaos ensuing all around.
A huge amount of money has gone
missing, and someone has to pay the
price. Lottery - you've got to be in it to
win it.

Man in a Hat
Man Who Sold the World
Harry and Karl are best friends and the

greatest magic double act in the country.
But after Karl is discovered with Harry's
wife, and a guillotine illusion goes
horribly and spectacularly wrong, their
friendship and their careers are finished.
The film charts the disintegration of

Owen's troubled mind, from the initial
conflict with his demons, to the ultimate
and terrible acceptance of his purpose in
life. Isolated after the death of his
mother, Owen trawls the internet and
finds solace in the anonymous world of
chat rooms.
Max Trisch inherits a remote country

house from his grandmother, who worked
for an internet based cult, the
Costlantians. He is drawn into the woods
surrounding the house by a boy in a 60s
school uniform and finds whirling dark
images and children's voices crying out in
fear.
Known only as man_in_a_hat, Owen hides

behind his alias to keep the demons at
bay and make friends in a lonely and
hostile world. But demons don't stay
silent forever and Owen lacks the strength
of mind to resist them.
Max meets Zisna at the cult's HQ and

begins to lose his grip on sanity. The
myths of Celtic gods infect his
imagination. Max's girlfriend, Lidjia,
refuses to believe what is happening until
she is visited by the same apparition of
the little boy.
Now, the ultimate magic competition will

draw Harry out of retirement to compete
against the world's best magicians, and
his deadly rival Karl. But with no tricks,
no assistant and no chance, it'll take
some kind of magic for Harry to settle the
score.

Man Who Would be Queen,

The
Mansfield Park
Mark of Cain, The
Hugo is a popular entertainer in a Soho

club, but he hasn't always been that
person. In a former life he was a pompous
twit, a stereotypical man's man. But all
that changed the night he decided to host
a party which would turn out to be one
he'd never forget.
Fanny Price is taken from the poverty of

her childhood home to live with her rich
cousins at Mansfield Park, but is never
allowed to forget her humble rank. While
Fanny's uncle is absent in Antigua, Mary
Crawford and her brother Henry arrive in
the neighbourhood, bringing with them
the glamour and recklessness of London
society.
Two 18 year-old soldiers, Treacle and Shane,

travel to Basra for their first military
experience. Their section is ambushed and
the company captain and a private are
killed. Acting on intelligence, the section
arrest two men suspected of involvement.
Banned from interrogating the suspects,
several soldiers beat and degrade the
detainees while Shane takes pictures.
Fanny is dubious about the Crawfords'

influence on the family. She looks on as
Henry plays with the affection of both the
Bertram girls. Maria is already engaged to
the rich but dim-witted Mr Rushworth, but
this does not deter either her or Henry.
Meanwhile, Mary, who is attractive but
has dubious principles, is drawn to the
serious Edmund, despite him being
destined for the church.
On their return to the UK, Treacle and

Shane are arrested on charges concerning
the assault of detainees and are bailed to
appear before the military court. The
story breaks in the news and the two
young soldiers are widely condemned.
The rest of the section immediately
distance themselves from the crimes of
which they were an integral part.
Having recently left the city to live in

rural splendour with his long-suffering and
beautiful wife, Anna, Hugo makes plans to
celebrate his brithday and show off his
new country house. He invites his lawyer
friend, Steve, and celebrity wannabe
wife, Wendy, for a peaceful weekend. But
the unexpected arrival of the charismatic
Ben, an old flame of Anna's and a former
friend of Hugo, proves to be a disaster as
the weekend descends into a chaos of
thieves, strippers, gypsies, madness
and . . . murder?

Market, The
Measure for Measure
Midnight Drives, The
In Turkey, a market trader sees an

opportunity to make his fortune when he
is offered a mission to cross the Balkan
border to purchase medicine. An
examination of the morally complex world
of the black market.
This feminist re-working of Shakespeare's

play is set in the British Army. The Duke,
acting as commander of a battalion, is
responsible for a general breakdown of
discipline. Realising what must be done to
restore respect for his position, the Duke
knows he doesn't have the moral authority
to do it himself. Instead, young officer
Angelo is entrusted to do the dirty work.
A meditation on a broken annual holiday

to bleak out of season Cornwall. Andy is a
lonely divorcee who has custody of his
two young children for the winter half
term, and chooses to travel with them to
Cornwall in a last ditch attempt to
recapture the magic of his own childhood
holidays. Cut off from his kids and
frustrated by his inability to communicate
with them, Andy sets out to make the
most of this precious holiday, although as
the week wears on he can only watch as
the trip slides towards disaster. But while
every day seems to carry Andy further
away from his kids, at night the family
discovers a new sense of connection,
through a series of spontaneous dreamlike
excursions they come to call The Midnight
Drives.

Midsummer Madness
Mighty Heart, A
Miguel and William
On the shortest night of the year in Latvia

the whole country goes crazy. The film
follows five sets of people on one such
magical and mysterious Midsummer's
night.
On 23 January 2002, Mariane Pearl's world

changed forever. Her husband Daniel was
researching a story on shoe bomber
Richard Reid. The story drew them to
Karachi where a go-between had promised
access to an elusive source. As Danny left
for the meeting, he told Mariane he might
be late for dinner. He never returned.
The story of an encounter that could have

changed the history of literature. It's 1590
and William Shakespeare has disappeared
from England. Nobody knows where he
went or what he did while he was away.
Curt, a young American, lands in Riga in

search of his Latvian half-sister Maia.
After taking an instant dislike to the
place, a series of bizarre events conspire
to change his mind. Livia, a widowed
French poetess, is rich, beautiful and
mysterious. Her bodyguard, Toni, is
protective but unusually possessive. Lewis
and Mike are two football-loving firemen
from Liverpool on a goodwill visit to their
Riga counterparts.
Elsewhere, Aida and her Japanese
boyfriend, Yuki, nervously prepare to
meet her xenophobic parents. Russian
Leonid is as slippery as the eels he sells.
But his idea to ply Karl and Axel with
food, drink, and pretty women to sweeten
his eel deal backfires.

By dawn, they knew they were facing a

crisis that required strong allies fully
briefed on Pakistan's proliferating
terrorist cells, its byzantine bureaucracy
and its notorious Inter-ServicesIntelligence agency. Dozens of local
investigators swarmed the house that
morning, including the head of Pakistan's
brand new counter-terrorism unit.
After five harrowing weeks they found the
kidnappers. Then came the devastating
news that Danny had been brutally
murdered weeks earlier.
Six months pregnant when the ordeal
began, Mariane began to write a book
intended to introduce their son to the
father he would never meet. À Mighty
Heart: The Brave Life and Death of My
Husband Danny Pearl' not only charts the
intense effort to find Danny and his
eventual murderer, but also touchingly
describes Danny's spirit of defiance and
his unflinching belief in the power of
journalism, even in the face of death.

We do. We know where William

Shakespeare went to quench the thirst for
love that overcame him, a thirst which
gave rise to a passionate, stormy and
feverish love story. William went to the
country that was the world's focal point
at the time, the most powerful and
wealthiest of nations, the one which
possessed the mightiest armies: Spain.
And during that love journey, William
crossed paths with the only other person
who was his equal in the field of arts,
Miguel de Cervantes.
What would have happened if these two
literary geniuses had actually met each
other in real life?

Mirror Maze
University in London can be both fun and

challenging. This film examines mistrust
in relationships and focuses on the lives of
three university students who are
infatuated, and perhaps even in love,
with each other.
Bosnia 1994. A TV news crew and their

Serbian militiamen guides tear across the
rugged Balkan landscape to break the
story of a massacred village - only to find
they've strayed into a minefield.
Àll of us consider ourselves unique in the

world. It's just the same for me. My wife,
my son and my job were my world. But I
also needed to know I was unique, a oneoff.'
An emotionally visceral drama on the

tragedy that war inflicts.
Diego Durand is a married biochemist with

a son, who has a pleasant, ordinary life.
One night, on television, he sees a man
identical to himself get killed in a road
accident.
Marcello is a hedonistic classics student

who has fantastic chemistry with Claudia.
Unfortunately, she takes a year out to
travel abroad. Meanwhile, Marcello starts
to date Sophie, who is excessively
paranoid, mistrustful and jealous.
Emotions run high when Claudia returns to
London and Sophie suspects a passionate
affair unfolding between Marcello and
Claudia.
Intrigue, partying, cheating and
threesomes add to the tension. Filmed
entirely on location, university will never
be the same again.

Mr Bean's Holiday
Mr Singh & Mrs Mehta
Mrs Ratcliffe's Revolution
Mr Bean wins first prize in his local church

raffle: a week in Cannes at the height of
its famous Film Festival, and a new video
camera.
Karan and Neera live in London and are

happily married. At least that's what
Neera thinks until she discovers that
Karan is having an affair.
On his way Mr Bean ends up in charge of

Stepan, the son of a Russian film director,
and tries to return him to his father. With
neither speaking the other's language,
they are left lost and penniless in France.
With a national manhunt launched to find
them, Stepan and Mr Bean strike up an
unlikely friendship and earn enough
money to catch a bus to Cannes. Except
that Mr Bean somehow misses the bus.
Ashvin is a painter hoping to make it big

one day. Sakhi, his wife, is a high flying
executive. Ashvin is unaware of Sakhi's
affair with Karan until Neera knocks on
his door. In a perfect world they would
never have met, yet their shared
experience of the turmoil of an extramarital affair sees them embark upon a
journey that defies the moral fabric of
Indian middle class values. During their
journey the boundaries between right and
wrong blur.
She left the land of Marks & Spencer and

went to the world of Marx and Lenin. A
feel-good comedy following one
dysfunctional family's journey from 1965
East Midlands, to 19 below freezing East
Germany, and back again.
Mr Bean hitches his way south and en

route befriends Sabine. They get to
Cannes and the premiere of her film
where Bean inserts his own footage to
save her from being cut out. The
premiere is a success and Mr Bean slips
away to the beach. At the water's edge,
he rolls up his trousers and smiles: at last
his holiday can begin.

Notes on a Scandal
Oh Happy Day
1642 marks the turning point in the life of

the Dutch painter Rembrandt, taking him
from a wealthy, respected celebrity to a
discredited pauper.
Two women caught up in a drama of need

and betrayal are at the heart of this
psychological thriller. The twists and turns
of the story are noted in the acerbic diary
of Barbara Covett, a domineering and
solitary teacher, who rules with an iron
fist over her classroom at a secondary
school in London. Save for her cat,
Barbara lives alone, without friends or
confidants - but her world changes when
she meets the school's new art teacher,
Sheba Hart. Sheba appears to be the
kindred spirit and loyal friend Barbara has
always been seeking. But when she
discovers that Sheba is having an
incendiary affair with one of her young
students, their budding relationship takes
an ominous turn. As Barbara threatens to
expose Sheba's terrible secret to both her
husband and the world, Barbara's own
secrets and dark obsessions come
tumbling to the fore, exposing the
deceptions at the core of each of their
lives.
How much would you reveal for love?
Rembrandt reluctantly agrees to paint the

Amsterdam Musketeer Militia in a group
portrait that will become known as The
Nightwatch. He discovers that there is a
conspiracy afoot and his suspicions are
confirmed when he stumbles upon a
murder.
Rembrandt is determined to expose the
murderers and builds his accusation
meticulously, in the form of the
commissioned painting.
When Rembrandt reveals the accusation in
the painting, the conspirators plan
revenge. They set out to discredit him at
home and abroad. They plant a
treacherous mistress to seduce him. They
try to blind him, they plan his social and
financial ruin, conspire to destroy his son,
and bring him to his knees.
The film explores how the bold and
courageous painting of the Nightwatch
both consolidated Rembrandt's reputation
as a master painter and came to destroy
him socially and financially.

Jonathan, a 30-something black guy from

Brixton, and David, an idealistic American
guy, have a one-night stand . . . the
weekend before they start working
together on a marketing campaign to
launch a new `happiness' pill. In a panic,
Jonathan squashes any chance of a
relationship, much to David's irritation.
They spend the first few weeks battling
each other. Then, after ending up in bed
together again, they try to hide the
relationship from everyone else so they
don't get fired. Finally, fed up with
Jonathan's inability to commit and show
himself for who he really is, David ends
the relationship and plans to head back to
the States.
At a club event to launch the drug, and in
a last-ditch effort to show David he's
changed, Jonathan, while making his
thank you speech, lays himself bare by
stripping. Buzzing on `happiness' pills the
rest of the audience, join in. That's when
the gospel choir launches into Oh Happy

One Minutes
Other Possibility, The
Outlaw
A colourful and lively comic exploration of

the world of cinema, comprising 60 films
all exactly one minute in length. Each
film either spoofs, satirises or pays
homage to a different movement, style or
genre. The range spans from a quirky
homage to the modern German classic
Run Lola Run involving crisps, to a spoof
on the tired concepts of American teen
comedies. Based around the theme of
time, the film also offers informative
sections such as a documentary on the
origins of the minute, the tale of Kronos
the Greek god of time, as well as a one
minute biopic on Christiaan Huygens, the
inventor of the pendulum clock.
Upon discovering that she has an

incurable blood cancer, Kaz Hauser, a
feisty Berlin music journalist, heads to
England to seek out the father she's never
met and save her soul.
Betrayed by their government and let

down by the law, a renegade gang sets out
to right the wrongs of the world. Under the
charge of war veteran Alfie Bryant and
assisted by Lewis, a disheartened cop, this
assortment of dejected individuals form a
modern-day outlaw posse to avenge the
criminal underworld and enforce their own
brand of justice. Gaining notoriety in their
quest, the group, once disregarded by all,
become public icons. It's only when their
celebrity exceeds their sucess that the
Outlaw legacy is destroyed.
One Minutes is packed with bizarre

characters like the savage, brutal and
demonic librarian Mrs Burrows, a slasherstyle serial killer, who stalks her way
through the film retrieving unreturned
library books and killing the offending
borrowers with her weapon of choice: the
handlebars of her bike.

Outpost
Oxford Murders, The
Paper Cowboys
In a seedy bar in a town ravaged by war,

a mysterious businessman, Hunt, hires exmarine DC to assemble a crack team of
ex-soldiers to protect him on a dangerous
journey into no man's land. Their mission
is to scope out an old military bunker. It
should be easy and take 48 hours at the
most.
Arthur Seldom, a prestigious professor of

logic who has written a recent book on
the link between mathematics and serial
killers, and Martin, a young graduate
student who has just arrived at Oxford
hoping to study with Seldom, team up to
solve a series of mathematically linked
murders.
Once at the outpost, the men make a

horrific discovery that turns their mission
on its head. They stumble upon the scene
of a bloody and gruesome series of
experiments carried out by the Nazis on
their own soldiers during World War II.
Amid the carnage, they find something
even more disturbing - someone who's
still alive.
As professor and student join forces to try

and crack the code, an elaborate puzzle
begins in which every action has an effect
beyond anything that Martin could have
imagined.
Ethan is a young Englishman obsessed with

his hero John Wayne and intent on
becoming a Country and Western singer.
When his girlfriend Debi leaves without
explanation, Ethan travels down to Mexico
during the festival of the Day of the
Dead, intent on finding her. The only map
he has is contained within photographs
Debi has taken during her journey.
As war rages above ground, and a

mysterious enemy emerges from the
darkness below, DC and his men are
trapped in a claustrophobic and terrifying
scenario. Their mission is no longer one of
safe-guarding, it has become one of
survival. Together they must discover why
Hunt has brought them to the outpost,
and what it is that's killing them off.

it's Catholic and they're atheist. Lucy
can't see the problem. All you have to do
is pretend.
A group of mercenaries are forced to

evacuate their dying spacecraft and find
themselves stranded on a desolate, barren

Sacrificed
Fia's marriage ended in betrayal when her

husband Philip cheated on her with her
best friend Julie, causing her to lose the
baby she was carrying. Fia has now
returned to take revenge on the people
who hurt her so badly.
Five years ago Dennis was at the altar,

about to marry Libby, his pregnant
fiance
e. He got cold feet and ran for the
hills, and he's been going in circles ever
since. When he finds out Libby's decided
to marry high-flying-go-gettingnauseatingly-over-achieving city broker
Whit, Dennis realises it's now or never.
Despite never having completed anything
in his life, Dennis will endure sweat and
tears in completing a gruelling marathon.
Now's his chance to finish the job and
prove he's more than a running joke.
When Amber buys a bronze statuette of

the god Sybalinka from an antique dealer,
it gives her strength to rid herself of her
abusive husband. He has become
convinced by her increasingly strange
behaviour that she has become part of a
cult, and employs a private detective to
spy on her.
Her opportunity arrives when she finds

out that Julie has a fiance
, Mark. Fia and
Mark begin an affair. Julie walks in on
them together, and fleeing the scene is
hit by a car, leaving her in a coma. Fia
remains with Julie and Mark and she cares
for Julie full-time to ease her remorse.
She realises that she has to accept the
past. She can't fight it or justify hurting
people because of it.
Fia decides to trace Philip. She finds him,
but cannot bring herself to talk to him.
When Fia suspects Julie is about to wake
up, she leaves. She confronts Philip and
sees that the pain of the past isn't hers
alone. Abandoning Mark, and her thoughts
of revenge, Fia returns to her family, in
search of a different answer to her pain.

Alone in the splendid isolation of her vast

country house, Amber falls under the
power of the statuette and one killing
quickly leads to another. When she invites
four women friends to the house for an
occult party, each of them becomes an
unwitting victim of Amber's increasingly
psychotic behaviour. Even the debauched
brother of one of her friends is powerless
to prevent this rampant evil from leaving
a trail of bloodied corpses. In her final
moment of triumph, Amber fails to realise
the full extent of Sybalinka's influence.

Saxon
Seachd (The
Inaccessible Pinnacle)
See You at the Altar
A reformed bad man is compelled to

undertake a desperate mission which
unleashes the demons of his past. On a
journey through revenge, hope and horror,
the narrative unfolds at thriller-like pace.
When a young man, Angus, visits his dying

grandfather in hospital he cannot hold
back his boyhood quest for truth - the
truth behind the death of his parents and
the truth behind his grandfather's
ancient, incredible and fearful stories.
Stories from the whole swathe of Gaelic
history of poisoned lovers, bloody
revenge, water-horses and Spanish gold.
His grandfather hijacks Angus' life for one
last time, leading him to one of Scotland's
most treacherous mountains, the
Inacccessible Pinnacle, and revealing an
ancient truth he never expected.
Flow 24-7, a fledgling commercial radio

station in the UK, is staging the ultimate
blind date. A cheque for 100,000 plus an
all expenses paid wedding ceremony
awaits the hopeful romantics who agree
to court over the airwaves and meet face
to face for the first time at the altar
after being pronounced husband and wife.
The applications are flooding in, but for
all the wrong reasons.
London, the present. Soon after leaving

prison, Eddie has his eye cut out by a
loan-shark chasing an old debt. Eddie's
other eye will only be spared upon
repayment. Desperate for cash, Eddie
phones Linda, a childhood sweetheart.
She lives in Saxon - a ghost town of grim
flats run by a corrupt council. Linda is
very wealthy. Her husband Kevin won a
million pounds on a TV quiz show. But
Kevin has gone missing, feared dead.
Eddie offers his services as an amateur
sleuth, and so embarks on a comically
gruesome journey through the surreal
underworld of Saxon: the place where he
grew up, the place where his mother
works as a prostitute, the place where he
murdered a bailiff.

Smokin' Aces
A group of American teens come to

Ireland to visit an Irish schoolfriend who
takes them on a camping trip in search of
the local, fabled magic mushrooms. When
the hallucinations start taking hold, the
panicked friends are attacked by ghostly
creatures; they are unable to determine if
they are experiencing gruesome reality or
startling delirium. When one teenager
unknowingly eats the dangerous Death's
Head mushroom, the group's nightmare
takes a deeply sinister turn.
A dramatic and thrilling study of sexual

conflict, jealousy, power and manipulation
handled with both wit and humour. The
film tells the story of a wealthy writer of
detective stories and an aspiring yet outof-work actor who is having an affair with
the writer's wife. The writer's exquisitely
modernised Georgian manor becomes the
backdrop for a cat and mouse game that
pits one creative mind against another.
The FBI Deputy Director has dispatched

his top agents to Buddy Àces' Israel's
hiding spot in Lake Tahoe. Their mission:
to protect the sleazy Vegas magician from
mob boss Primo Sparazza, upon whom
Aces has agreed to turn state's evidence.
The mob learns of his betrayal and puts a
million-dollar bounty on Aces' head.

A wild menagerie of mercenaries, mass

murderers and gorgeous guns-for-hire
descend on Tahoe to locate Aces and
collect the bounty. Sparazza's inner circle
have an insurance policy in the form of
ghetto-fab assassins Georgia Sykes and
Sharice Watters. A psychopathic trio of
neo-Nazi inbreds called the Tremor
brothers have made haste to Tahoe as
well. Additionally, international hit men
Pasquale Acosta and Lazlo Soot are
bringing their uniquely twisted blend of
skills. To complicate matters, bail
bondsman Jack Dupree is trying to find
Aces before he gets handed over to the
FBI. The question is: who is going to get
him first?
While the magician's henchmen try to
protect him, FBI agents Messner and
Carruthers begin to uncover the truth
behind Aces' real role in bringing down
the mob. And nothing that surrounds
Buddy Israel has ever been what it
appears to be.

Sparkle
Special People
Will Proudfoot is the eldest son of a

Plymouth Brethren family. The Brethren
abide by a strict moral code which means
that Will has never been allowed to mix
with other people, listen to music or
watch TV. That is until he finds himself
caught up in the extraordinary world of
Lee Carter, the school terror.
Sam lives in Liverpool with his mum Jill,

an aspiring singer. He dreams of moving to
London and making his way in life. A
chance meeting with Vince gives him the
opportunity. Sam moves into Vince's spare
flat in London - the only problem being
that Jill insists on coming too. Through
Vince, Sam gets a job as waiter and uses
it to meet Sheila, a powerful woman who
runs a PR company. Sam spots his chance
- they start sleeping together, and she
gives him a job. However, life gets
complicated when Sam meets a younger
woman, Kate, and falls for her. He finds
that his ambitions have been ambushed by
love, and fate has dealt him an ironic
hand - putting him in the arms of both a
mother and her daughter.
Jasper is a filmmaker on the verge of a

nervous breakdown, whose last hopes of
making a great cinematic masterpiece lie
with a group of disabled teenagers at a
rundown community centre.
When Carter shows Will a pirate copy of

Rambo: First Blood, Will is enthralled and
he's easily convinced to be the stuntman
in Lee Carter's diabolical home movie.
Will's imagination is given the chance to
flourish in the world of filmmaking and
also when it comes to dreaming up
elaborate schemes to keep his partnership
with Lee Carter a secret.
An unlikely friendship blossoms between
the pair and they soon make a name for
themselves at school as movie makers.
But when a French exchange student
arrives, their unique friendship and their
precious film are pushed to breaking
point.

When Stuart Shorter, a homeless alcoholic

with a violent past, meets writer and
charity worker Alexander Masters, they
strike up an unlikely friendship. As
Alexander learns more about Stuart's
complicated life and traumatic childhood,
he asks if he can write his story. As their
alliance develops, Stuart gradually
recounts his life story in reverse, his
resilient personality and dry sense of
humour giving the story an almost tragicomic edge. Through post office heists,
attempts at suicide, and spells inside
numerous institutions, Alexander is given
a glimpse into a totally alien world and
begins to understand how Stuart's life
spiralled so badly out of control.
Tom is a middle class city boy whose life

In this dark coming-of-age thriller, six

fourteen year-old kids bunk off school to

It is the year 2057, the sun is dying and

mankind faces extinction. Earth's last
hope lies with the Icarus II, a spacecraft,
with a crew of eight men and women, led
by Captain Kaneda. Their mission: to
deliver a nuclear device designed to
reignite our fading sun.
Mick just wanted to forget a bad

relationship. He did not plan on meeting
Anna. What starts as fun soon becomes
something more serious when her
obsessive ex-boyfriend Tom discovers
them in bed together.
London is the best city in the world says

Adam. He loves coming to the vibrant city
at weekends to club, dance, meet new
friends, party and shag. That is until a
casual encounter with a stranger brings him
to the attention of powerful, unseen forces.
A man Adam meets in a bar puts him in the
frame for an affair with a gay Royal and his
whole life is turned upside down. Confused
as to what has happened to him, Adam
quickly finds himself sacked from his job as
an IT teacher and experiencing the scrutiny
of having his every move closely followed.
Deep into their voyage, out of radio

contact with Earth, the crew hear a
distress beacon from the Icarus I, which
disappeared on the same mission seven
years earlier. A terrible accident throws
their mission into jeopardy and soon the
crew find themselves fighting for their
lives and their sanity as well as the future
of everyone on earth.

Running back to London, they take refuge

in his best friend David's house, despite
the protests of his wife and Anna's stepsister Louise. With tensions inside the
house at breaking point, Tom has no
trouble finding them. Manipulating his
way into their neighbours' house, he bides
his time till opportunity strikes. Tom
wastes no time incapacitating each of the
four in the house, inflicting as much
terror on them as he believes is possible.
His revenge rapidly explodes out of
control. The balance of power shifts when
Mick's self control breaks and, believing
Tom intends to kill them all, something
inside him snaps. Fuelled with rage, Mick
is determined to make Tom pay the
ultimate price.
The people you least fear are often the
ones who turn out to be the most

Tales of the Fourth

Dimension
Telling Lies
Three Minute Moments
The Time Master introduces a series of

tales about the weird and wonderful
things that time can do. Time can send a
young, struggling Shakespeare his
completed works through a wormhole in
space, before he's even written them,
and can give Leonardo da Vinci a glimpse
into the future. Time can stop still to give
you the chance of revenge on a scheming
enemy, or can repeat on itself so that you
have the opportunity to save a friend and
turn your life around. Bad timing can
mean you miss out on the chance of
hitting the big time in 1960s Liverpool or
it can put you in the wrong place at the
wrong time, with terrifying consequences.
The impossible becomes possible in the
world of the Fourth Dimension.
Teenager Faith Munro has just lost her

mother to suicide and resents her father,
Jack, for her mother's death. To make
matters worse, her boyfriend Derek
dumps her for her best friend, Portia.
Things are looking dismal until she meets
Eve, the new American girl. Bitchy and
brash, Eve is the perfect antidote for
Faith's dreary existence. Together, the
two girls form a plot to win back Derek's
affections by creating a fake boyfriend
named Vincent to arouse his jealousy. It
seems like the perfect plan until
Detective Maggie Thomas arrives and
arrests Faith for the murder of Vincent,
whose body is found in a nearby hotel.
Who is this Vincent and how is Faith
connected to all of this? Who will believe
Faith amidst her web of lies? Will Maggie
be able to get to the bottom of the
crime?
They say it only takes three minutes to

fall in love - and a lifetime to understand
why! Welcome to the world of speed
dating with London agency Three Minute
Magic, where the idea of love at first
sight is put to the test by the capital's
singles and not-so-singles.

Esther, the determined, glamorous and

cynical boss of Three Minute Magic,
welcomes a wide and varied group of men
and women to an evening of intense
speed dating. Love is in the air and the
anticipation - and hope - of finding their
dream date causes a few of them to try a
little too hard. Pinning on their badges,
taking their seats: all waiting for the
gong . . .
Under-appreciated girlfriend Lucy is in a
relationship going nowhere but hoping for
ever-lasting love; shy widower Emmett is
still mourning his wife, stubbornly
refusing to move on but also realising
there needs to be a future; and gorgeous
femme fatale Alicia doesn't need anyone,
or so she thinks until she comes face-toface with her future self. These people,
and many more, come colliding together,
with the dream of meeting `the one'.
Love is all around them. But will they find
it?

eccentric beauty, Paula Potts goes
completely unnoticed; he's just part of
the furniture to her.
Arriving without her husband, for reasons

that are obscure, Anna joins her old

holiday. Once there, Anna soon rejects
the company of the adults in favour of
the carefree teenagers. They seem to fill
an empty space in her life, but a rift
develops between herself and Verena.
Anthony Stowe is a down-and-out

detective addicted to heroin, whose days
always seem to go from bad to worse.
Stowe is coming off of a drug deal in

the surveillance tapes are still at large.
With the family on course for selfdestruction - with the help of an old
enemy - and Paula arguing with her
imaginary friend about running off to Ibiza
with a local slime-ball, Magic realises that
he only has one day to save the family,

Vampires of Bloody Island,

The
Vanguard, The
Veiled Existence
Within her crumbling castle on an isolated

Cornish island, vampire noblewoman
Morticia de'Ath and misguided alchemist
Doctor N Sane aim to discover the magical
cure to finally enable all vampires to be
immune from the deadly dangers of
sunlight. However, one essential
ingredient remains missing, an ingredient
only available from an innocent office girl
living in faraway London, Susan Swallows.
The future: the world is on the verge of

collapse. Out of this apocalyptic
nightmare, humans have been reduced to
a primitive ape-like state, known as
Biosyns. A young man named Max has
been cast adrift into the wilderness, and
must battle the Biosyns to preserve his
very existence. A group of genetically
engineered soldiers, known as Trackers,
have been tasked by a shadowy
corporation to find and kill Max, fearing
he may be the antidote to the drug which
infects the Biosyns.
A young woman has aspirations towards a

new life but when the veil is lifted she
realises that all is not as it seems. On
reflection she discovers the gritty truth
involving drugs, deceit, cultural
boundaries and murder. She is forced to
run for her life.
Susan, a garlic-cola saleswoman, and her

chauvinistic workmate Kevin Smallcock are
lured to the superstitious village of Bloody
Bay, where the villagers' bizarre behaviour
and tales of vampires, werewolves and
virgins begin to unnerve them.
Meanwhile, just across the bay on the
feared Bloody Island, Morticia prepares a
demonic dinner party to ensnare the pair.
She is unaware of a man about to cross
the paths of them all: the fearless
vampire hunter and ex-window cleaner
Professor Hans Van Rental.
The resulting mayhem involves a onesided battle, with Morticia, and her
heavily armoured one hundred strong
vampire army, against Susan and her
misfit friends. It is a battle which involves
some very important personal issues for
Susan, but also has profound implications
for the eternal safety of all humankind.

Legend of the Deep
Well worn by years of gangland brutality,

veteran detective Eddie Argo prides
himself on playing by the book. However,
loyalties wane as he and his new rookie
partner, Helen O'Mara find themselves
entangled in a string of violent and
horrific killings that are targeting a
notorious local gang, forcing Argo to
revisit a case he would rather forget.
Two separate groups of friends, partners,

colleagues and lovers living and working
alongside each other in South London are
completely unconnected until a chance
encounter at a train station throws all of
their lives onto a different track.
Based on the book by Dick King-Smith and

rooted in one of the most enduring and
intriguing legends of our time, the story
begins with an enchanted egg . . . and
what hatches will set in motion an
adventure that will take a young boy on
the unforgettable journey of a lifetime.
In the midst of mounting terror, the

calculating killer stays focused on the
ultimate goal - to coerce Argo to pay for
his previous mistakes and answer the
ultimate question - would you kill the
one you love to save yourself?

her job very seriously, to the point of
trying to revive their libidos with blackmarket Viagra. Amanda is a successful
businesswoman with her own beauty
salon. The matriarch of the gang, she's
about to be married to her airline pilot
fiance
, Joshua. What Amanda doesn't
know is that Joshua is not the knight in
white satin she believes him to be.
In the early 21st century an unknown virus

spreads among the population. Within
weeks it engulfs the entire planet. Three
video diaries chart the early days of the
plague through to the last days of the
apocalypse. A documentary film crew
travel to the countryside to make a movie
about the virus. Unaware of what is
happening around the country, the team is
accidentally caught up in the outbreak.
We follow the gang over five days.

Amanda's agenda is simple: she wants her
wedding to be the best Leith has ever
seen. The gang have been together since
childhood; they have partied, loved, and
caroused, hard. They look back on their
raving days with fondness, but now it's
time to grow up.
A husband and wife escape London and

pick up a mysterious hitchhiker as they
scavenge the remnants of dead towns,
unaware of the dangers that wait for
them in the shadows. A group of survivors
flee to an old farm to seek refuge, only to
find themselves under siege from
creatures that attack in the dead of
night.

Carlos the Dog
Cherries
A tramp lies in an alleyway, forgotten,

decayed. A cardboard sign next to him
reads `You are dead, I am alive'. A forlorn
city worker passes by. Intrigued, he
discovers the truth behind the message.
A man who has recently had marital

trouble has spiralled into the life of a
depressive bachelor. He spends his nights
at home, with the only thing that reminds
him of his once joyful past: Carlos, a little
yapping Chihuahua.
A class of teenage schoolboys are

oblivious to their teacher's attempts to
educate them about the wider world. But
they are about to learn a lesson they will
never forget and one that will change
their lives forever.

their increasingly immature methods of
trying to communicate their annoyance
non-verbally, and their attempts to gain
the upper hand in their squabble.

Missing
More More More
Mr Video
What happens to those left behind when a

loved one disappears without warning or
explanation? The film follows Rachel
through a day in her life without Paul, her
husband, who's been missing for eight years.
Missing explores the painful imaginings that
fill this vacuum and the stories we tell
ourselves when we just don't know.
An electronic counter marks the passing

of time as two men sit in an abandoned
warehouse, nervously awaiting their turn
in a record-breaking gang bang. Inspired
by the controversial story of Annabel
Chong, this is a poignant and blackly
comic film.
Competing against DVD piracy, internet

downloading and an array of customers
who never seem to rent anything, Will,
owner of Mr Video, struggles in vain to
earn a living. But things soon change
when a young man enters the store and
pushes Will to breaking point.

On the Edge
One Little Step
Out of Milk
When a man's arrogance and desire to

succeed take over all rational thought,
greed, heartache and revenge set in. A
sideways look at when actions are driven
by jealousy and guilt, and the ensuing
fallout.
Charlie can't help dreaming. In her head,

she has a life filled with sunshine and
song. The truth, a seaside summer job at
a crazy golf course, is dreary and grey in
comparison. Then there's a boy, Jake, a
sculptor. But will she take a chance, take
one little step, and open herself up to
love?
Katy, eight, and the boy next door spend

their days walking their substitute dogs.
Returning early from her daily errand to
buy milk, Katy discovers that the TV
repairman has been servicing more than
just the television. A poignant
interpretation of the adult world through
the eyes of a child.

Worms
Xtreme Luggaging
Youth
In a seedy hotel room, Worms, a ruthless

and sadistic killer, calls the police to
confess his crimes. Answering that call is
Sarah Farren, an inexperienced call
centre recruit. Out of her depth, but
trying to make a difference, she fails to
see the genuine horrifying motive behind
Worms' astonishing confession.
A glimpse into the rock'n'roll world that

is modern day luggage riding. The
exponents of this art/sport live to get
radical on their souped-up luggage. Set in
contemporary Glasgow the story sees
Richie `The Badger' Miller take on his
hairdressing nemesis `The Cobra' in the
grandmother of all downhill races.
Three observational vignettes. A boy loses

himself in music, performing to his own
reflection. A girl contemplates new found
insecurities in a swimming pool changing
room. A group of kids kick off at the back
of a bus, exposing their vulnerability and
the uncertainty of their future.
