One night an old man dreams a storm into his bed.

2010 on the Canterbury Plains and all is well. Lambs, blue skies and daffodils. In Cathedral Square choir boys sing to their God. Punts push new season's tourists along the Avon. They photograph the 'Garden city'; the 'most English city outside of England'. We get hit with a 7.1 earthquake. We stand up, wave our fists at the heavens and compliment ourselves on our ability to recover. And then we get hit even harder. Now the city has fallen. Many are dead. Many injured. Many narrowly escape. A fragile people reappear in the following days. We have learnt from the first earthquake and once again a response is growing. Once again adrenaline is taking over. Now the whole country is rallying for Christchurch. It's the energy of the people that's unprecedented. Communities are rising from the sand. People are holding tight to each other. A year later and the quakes keep rolling. Now the Canterbury earthquakes are the most ever quakes recorded in a series. And we're still counting....

En 1965, durante una misión secreta en Berlín oriental, tres jóvenes agentes del Mossad (servicio de inteligencia israelí) capturan a un importante criminal de guerra nazi, antiguo médico conocido por sus sádicos experimentos durante la II Guerra Mundial en el campo de Birkenau. La misión no salió como estaba planeada, pero ellos se convirtieron en héroes. Sin embargo, treinta años después, en 1997, algo sucede que cambia de nuevo la versión de aquella misión.

Bretaña, año 117 de nuestra era. Un grupo de soldados romanos lucha por salvar sus vidas después de que la legión se vea mermada tras un ataque de la guerrilla local. Los valientes soldados componían nada menos que la 9ª legión, la más legendaria por su dureza, pero las cosas no salieron como planeaban. Ahora tan sólo quedan unos cuantos supervivientes, liderados por Quintus Dias (Michael Fassbender) y su misión es resistir hasta conseguir llegar a la frontera, antes que las hordas guerreras de la fiera y vengativa Etain (Olga Kurylenko) acabe con todos ellos.

A magical tale of friendship and loneliness, which tells the story of a little boy who one day finds a penguin on his doorstep.

Adapted and directed by Marc Craste, Varmints is a 24-minute film based on the award-winning book of the same name by Helen Ward and illustrated by Craste, that tells the story of one small creature's struggle to preserve a world in danger of being lost forever through recklessness and indifference. A crew of 35 people worked in three countries over a two year period to make the film, and an original score by Icelandic composer Johann Johannsson and sound design by Adrian Rhodes complete the picture.
