La película cuenta la historia de John Oldman, un profesor de universidad que asegura ser en realidad un hombre de Cro-Magnon de 14.000 años de edad que sobrevive hasta nuestros días. Toda la película está rodada en la misma casa y su porche, prueba de su bajo presupuesto y de su elaboración prácticamente artesanal. Se basa únicamente en la conversación de los personajes para mantener la trama, sin efectos especiales ni escenas de acción. Se trata de un discurso intelectual entre un supuesto hombre de las cavernas y sus actuales colegas de trabajo, en su despedida como docente universitario. En las horas que transcurren, las reacciones de sus amigos científicos son muy variadas y van surgiendo preguntas, cuestiones, revelaciones y reacciones de todo tipo.

Beca es de esas chicas que prefiere escuchar lo que sale de sus auriculares a lo que puede decirle alguien. Al llegar a la universidad no tiene cabida en ningún grupo, pero la obligan a unirse a uno que jamás habría escogido, formado por chicas malas, chicas buenas y chicas raras que solo comparten una cosa: lo bien que suenan cuando están juntas. Beca quiere que el grupo de canto acústico salga del tradicional mundo musical y llegue a alcanzar armonías nuevas y sorprendentes. Las chicas deciden escalar puestos en el despiadado mundo del canto a cappella universitario. Su intento puede acabar siendo lo mejor que han hecho. O, quizá, su mayor locura. Probablemente sea una mezcla de ambas cosas.

An Anthropological Television Myth is a gloriously jagged collage of fragments culled from an independent Sicilian TV station's output in the mid-90s – the period just before the 'Berlusconi era'. But whereas the Milanese media mogul's spells as president were notable for the cynical degradation of his nation's television output, with its bawdy game-shows earning much overseas derision, the small broadcaster showcased here evidently foregrounded and documented local grass-roots political shenanigans. With no commentary or captions, the film plunges us into a lively day-before-yesterday epoch when the authorities' battles with the Mafia produced an atmosphere akin to Civil War on the streets. Virtuouso editing knits together a dizzyingly wide range of sights and sounds that consistently fascinate and impress.

From award-winning director Phil Grabsky comes this fresh new look at arguably the world’s favourite artist – through his own words. Using letters and other private writings I, Claude Monet reveals new insight into the man who not only painted the picture that gave birth to impressionism but who was perhaps the most influential and successful painter of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Despite this, and perhaps because of it, Monet’s life is a gripping tale about a man who, behind his sun-dazzled canvases, suffered from feelings of depression, loneliness, even suicide. Then, as his art developed and his love of gardening led to the glories of his garden at Giverney, his humour, insight and love of life is revealed. Shot on location in Paris, London, Normandy and Venice I, Claude Monet is a cinematic immersion into some of the most loved and iconic scenes in Western Art.

Three couples in Vienna have children at around the same time. They're all in their mid-30s, successful, cool and live in a popular part of town. As idealistic as they are materialistic, they grow tomatoes on the balcony, drink locally roasted coffee and expensive cocktails and would never buy an electronic device sporting a half-eaten apple. And they're absolutely certain that you can have children without becoming bourgeois. But the reality tells a different story. Between career and kindergarten, Apple and alternative lifestyles, the satire plays cleverly with hipster clichés and mercilessly points up the gap between the old self-image and the new bourgeoisie.
