Actor James McAvoy makes his directorial debut with this irresistible, feel-good underdog tale about two Scottish men pretending to be Americans to achieve their dreams of hip-hop stardom.

Inspired by the real-life saga of Scottish rap duo Silibil N’ Brains, a.k.a. Gavin Bain (Séamus McLean Ross) and Billy Boyd (Samuel Bottomley), the film follows the unexpected journey of two lifelong friends from Dundee who dream of hip-hop superstardom. There’s just one problem: nobody takes two white guys with thick regional accents seriously in the UK’s early 2000s rap scene, especially not the London gatekeepers who laugh them out of an audition.

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

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.

Legendary actor Brian Cox makes his indelible directorial debut with this tense drama about family and forgiveness, featuring fellow veterans Alan Cumming (The Anniversary Party) and Shirley Henderson (Trainspotting).

After 35 years in the United States, Donal (Cumming) returns to his family-owned whisky distillery in the Scottish Highlands. When he left, his dear mother had died and, on the very day of her funeral, he and his brother Sandy (Cox) wound up in a violent exchange with their father. All those years away provided Donal with the chance to become the version of himself that his chaotic family would never allow, but the wounds from that terrible time have never fully healed. Now, with the survival of their treasured family business on the line, Donal hopes to make amends with Sandy — and to find some desperately needed inner peace — before it’s too late.

While exploring the house, left untouched since the 1940s, they excavate the life of their ancestor, Adèle Vermillard, a 20 year old woman who lived there in 1895. The end of the 19th century saw the birth of both photography and the Impressionist movement, which profoundly changed painting.

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.

He is then ordered to join the Italian army and is eventually captured by the Germans and sent to a concentration camp, where he attempts to seduce a sadistic female commander.
