Based on the acclaimed novel, MIDWINTER BREAK is a compelling story about the enduring power of love, commitment, and lost faith as a long-time couple takes a life-changing trip to Amsterdam.

Retired long-time couple Stella and Gerry (Academy Award® nominees Lesley Manville and Ciarán Hinds) travel from their home in Glasgow to Amsterdam for an impromptu holiday. Traversing the beautiful European city, they find themselves freed from the staid routines that have come to define their lives. But as the hours pass, Stella and Gerry realize that after decades together, their relationship has reached a crossroads. After so much time and so many memories, long-held promises and deeply concealed wounds threaten to come to light and force them to confront their future.

Based on the acclaimed novel by Bernard MacLaverty, first-time feature director Polly Findlay crafts a powerful debut that poses important questions about the nature of faith and commitment, and the enduring power of love.

Following the success of global phenomenon The Worst Person in the World, Academy Award-nominee Joachim Trier reunites with BAFTA nominee Renate Reinsve for their universally acclaimed follow-up, SENTIMENTAL VALUE. Winner of the prestigious Cannes Grand Prix award, and featuring career-best performances from Golden Globe winner Stellan Skarsgård and Elle Fanning.

Reinsve plays Nora, a successful stage actress who, along with her sister Agnes (Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas), reunites with their estranged father Gustav Borg (Skarsgård) – a once-renowned film director planning a major comeback with a script based on his family. When Gustav offers Nora the lead role, which she promptly declines, he turns his attention to Rachel Kemp (Fanning), an eager young Hollywood starlet primed for her big breakthrough. With their fraught dynamics made even more complex, Nora, Agnes and Gustav are each forced to confront their difficult pasts.

Anchored by astonishing performances across the board, SENTIMENTAL VALUE is a rewarding and profoundly moving experience that intimately explores sisterhood, father-daughter relationships and the evocative power of childhood memories.

Wertmüller's signature style of playfully distorted caricature and sharp political satire found its first full expression in this delightful and wickedly funny skewering of Italian class and labor relations. Fleeing from the mob, Sicilian laborer Mimi (Giannini) abandons his family to escape to Milan where he promptly falls in love with a hippie radical and is pulled into the far left of a political struggle he little understands. Refracted through the cracked prism of Giannini's feckless Southerner, Italy's troubled North-South relations and the never-ending battle of the sexes are woven into an operatic comedy about the alienation of labor in the 20th century.- Harvard Film Archive

Liz Smith is an award winning British documentary filmmaker. Her work is centred around human rights issues. The films she makes at Page75 Productions are the outcome of years of study on the issues driving the rise of populism and the erosion of our democratic rights.

Noelle Cook is an ethnographer and researcher examining how identity, belief, and belonging shape women’s participation in conspiratorial and right-wing movements. She is the author of The Conspiracists: Women, Extremism, and the Lure of Belonging and is a featured participant in documentary The Conspiracists.

Jennifer Nadel is a transformational leader, award winning journalist, international speaker  and bestselling author.  She’s also a qualified barrister, political and communications strategist and commentator. Currently, she leads the UK think tank, Compassion In Politics and is Director of Compassionate Politics at Stanford University's Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education.

Shot on 16mm, Cornish auteur Mark Jenkin’s film sees him return with a political folktale of two fishermen trapped in a time-loop. Thirty years after the Rose of Nevada fishing boat and its crew vanished without a trace, the vessel inexplicably returns to its old harbour in a small Cornish village, unchanged by time. Drawn by the promise of steady work and escape from hardship, two young men join its new crew: Nick, a devoted father struggling to provide for his family, and Liam, a drifting outsider living on the margins. When the Rose docks once more, the men realise they have slipped back in time. Trapped in the past, they are mistaken for the original crew and burdened with the expectations, fears and unresolved grief of a community desperate for answers, forcing them to confront their identity and fate, and the cost of survival.

An epic tragicomedy from director Lina Wertmüller, Love and Anarchy plumbs the depths of fascist Italy from the perspective of a simple farm boy sent to kill Mussolini. Giancarlo Giannini (The Seduction of Mimi) won the best acting prize at the Cannes Film Festival for his achingly sensitive portrayal of Tunin, a freckle-faced innocent who became an accidental anarchist. His contact in Rome is Salomè (Mariangela Melato), a prostitute with her own sob story. While they prepare for the assassination, Tunin falls in love with Tripolina (Lina Polito), which threatens the entire operation. A film of operatic emotion and subversive comedy, Love and Anarchy is a powerful statement on the terror of fascism and the ignoble fates of those who challenged it.
