Stephen Poliakoff returns to the big screen with Glorious 39, a thriller set in England as Britain stands on the brink of war.

Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain is at the forefront of the movement to appease Hitler; whilst others, with Winston Churchill as their powerful figurehead, believe that war is essential to combat the Nazi threat.

The story centres on the formidable Keyes family, who are determined to preserve their very traditional, English way of life in the midst of this political uncertainty.

The cast includes Julie Christie, Bill Nighy, Romala Garai, David Tennant, Jeremy Northam and Jenny Agutter.

The Last Supper
by Reckless Sleepers

Reckless Sleepers invite you to dinner, to sample the last meal requests of the famous and the not-so famous.

You’re asked to eat and drink while they speak, then eat the last words of the famous, the infamous, of criminals, victims, heroes, heroines and stars.

With real scenarios, invented scenarios, scenarios in the future, scenarios from the past, The Last Supper is part performance, part meal, made up of half-remembered words and the forgotten last requests of inmates on death row.

Each audience member is given a table number, their case number, their incident number.

Thirteen of these are last suppers.

“There is something about the simplicity of this show that is unbearably moving.” Lyn Gardner, The Guardian

Treeless Mountain
Certificate PG
Korean, with English Subtitles

So Yong Kim | South Korea | USA | 2008 | 89 mins

A moving tale of abandonment and the resilience of children.

Treeless Mountain follows Jin and Bin, aged 7 and 4, who are left in the care of an aunt they barely know, when their mother leaves to seek reconciliation with their absent father.

Effectively capturing both the point of view and the sensibilities of the two children, Treeless Mountain is a beautifully nuanced human drama.
