Off to the Asylum
Resplendently alluring animation at Manipulate.
Chico & Rita
Set in 1948, this euphonic and bewitching animation is as much about music as it is the narrative.
Tatsumi
The work of Tatsumi shows that violence and other adult themes don’t need to be realistic to have a profound impact on their audience.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Already a successful Swedish film franchise, David Fincher remakes the first installment with his usual flair for controlled tension.
Margin Call
Another depiction of what Inside Job and Zeitgeist: Moving Forward describe in far more detail.
Lost Sock Princess
Gone are the lewd and bawdy panto references in Puppet Lab's imagination-inducing children’s show.
The Giants (Les Géants)
Bouli Lanners presents a hedonistic exploration into the uncharted and misunderstood world of adolescence.
Beirut Hotel
A slick look into Lebanese/Israeli history, where due to censorship, this film may never be shown.
50/50
Jonathan Levine’s quirky new comedy shows us that even in the toughest of times, humour can be found in the darkest of places.
