Movies

Søvnløs i Lofoten
Arnholm
9 British actors arrive in the far north of Norway to act the Ibsen play "Lady From The Sea". They have never been in Norway before and have no idea that the sun won't set for the next month.
Good Vibrations
Dave Hyndman
The story of music legend Terri Hooley, a key figure in Belfast's punk rock scene. Hooley founded the Good Vibrations store from which a record label sprung, representing bands such as The Undertones, Rudi and The Outcasts.
Lennon Naked
Derek Taylor
A profile of John Lennon in the late 1960s as the Beatles are set to fall apart.
Occupation
Davis
Three ex-servicemen return to Basra, each for a different reason.
Soundproof
Connor
About the relationship between Dean, a young deaf man who is accused of murdering his flatmate, and Penny, the sign language interpreter assigned to his case.
The Year London Blew Up
Joseph O'Connell
Told through documentary, drama and first-hand accounts, this revealing film is a unique account of the most ruthless IRA bombing campaign ever to hit mainland Britain.
Song of Songs
Journalist Voice
Devoutly religious Ruth returns from Israel to care for her dying mother, but when she tries to bring her estranged brother David back into the fold, in accordance with her mother's wishes, the result is a startling journey into the darkest realms of sexual obsession: a forbidden game under the guise of religious law. Dark, ambiguous and distinctly adult, this study of belief and desire, set in the cloistered world of London's Orthodox Jewish community, thoughtfully explores the links between faith and violence, denial and longing.
Sinners
Eamonn
A Catholic girl finds herself in trouble in the ultra conservative Ireland of the 60s; a country where women are punished if they become pregnant out of wedlock.
Sunday
Gerard Donaghy
Sunday tells the story of an infamous day in Derry, North of Ireland and how the events of that day were subsequently covered up by the British Government of the time. On Sunday 30th January 1972 a peaceful civil rights march against internment (imprisonment without trial), organised by the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association (NICRA) ended with 13 marchers shot dead and 15 wounded. It became known throughout the world as Bloody Sunday. Told primarily from the perspective of the Derry community, juxtaposed with the British Army/state's preparations and reaction to the day, Sunday communicates the forensic and emotional truth of what happened
This Is Not a Love Song
Spike
Heaton and Spike are the unlikeliest pair: two loners who have found each other. When Spike commits a terrible crime, Heaton decides to stand by him - an act of astonishing, almost foolhardy loyalty. There begins a chase across a vast Northern landscape of moors, rivers and dark woods, the increasingly exhausted fugitives being hunted not by the police but by a posse of farmers intent on revenge. No ordinary chase film, This Is Not a Love Song is a love story trapped inside the body of a thriller.
