14살 소녀 리는 브라이튼의 외곽에서 무심한 아빠와 살고 있다. 재능 있는 체조선수인 리는 첫 대회 출전을 앞두고 있다. 아직은 자신감도 부족하고, 돈에 쪼들리고, 자신을 괴롭히는 동료들 때문에 힘든 일 뿐이지만 그래도 열심히 훈련 중이다. 그러던 어느 날 밤 이복 오빠가 리의 집에 나타나고, 리의 외로움은 사라진다. 리가 그토록 원하던 관심을 받게 되면서 사람에 대한 불신은 점차 새로운 흥분으로 바뀐다. 하지만 동시에 그녀는 오토바이 범죄의 스릴과 위험에도 노출되게 되는데... (2021년 제16회 부산국제어린이청소년영화제)

지극히 평범하고 무료한 일상을 보내는 네 명의 20대 청년들. 언젠가 한 번쯤은 대단한 흥분과 요동을 지닌 해프닝이 다가오기를 꿈꾸던 이들은 기다림에 지쳐 직접 사고를 치기로 결심한다. 목표는 1200만 달러에 이르는 역사적인 미술품 훔치기. 특별해지고 싶은 그들의 욕망은 현실과 하이스트 무비를 겹쳐보려 하지만 강도 행각은 매번 한 뼘쯤 어설프고 우습다. 각자의 허약한 아메리칸드림이 낳는 헛발질로 가득찬 소동극이다.

Henry opens his life to a woman and a damaged boy. As they move closer the past pulls them apart.

A sweet reminiscence about a family of four children and their RAF-veteran dad, who knows the timetable of every bus in London, but realizes his large family needs a car. He buys a Peugeot station wagon - license plate GFP831E, and the family sets off for annual holidays exploring every corner of Europe - "adopting local customs but never forgetting who won the war." The narrator is one of the children who, as he ages, sees things he missed as a lad - the car no rocket, dad no speedster. As the years wear on, and the car sits in the driveway, dad keeps it ready for the next great summer holiday.

This ambitious overview of the history of Prague provides a wealth of information about the city, both visual and verbal, but suffers from a one-note presentation. One note dominates the narration, that of continuity between past and present, and also the camerawork -- contrived to be as artful and art filled as the narration. Modern and ancient architecture and other cultural attributes of Prague, including scenes from the stage play Amadeus serve as a backdrop to the lecture on the nature of Prague history -- a non-stop "continuity of consciousness."

Produced for Scottish television, Venus Peter was financed by the Orkney Islands Council. The title character is transformed into a "sea child" when he is baptized with salt water. Though his family tries hard to accustom him to life on land, Peter (Gordon R. Strachan) yearns to go to sea -- or, at the very least, to escape his cloistered community. He finds a kindred spirit in Princess Paloma (Juliet Cadzow), the village "looney," who, alas, is eventually carted away to an institution. Briefly fascinated by poetry and music, thanks to his lovely teacher Miss Balsibie (Sinead Cusack), Peter is disillusioned when he finds his teacher in the arms of her lover (and out of her clothing). The final blow to Peter's idealism comes when his grandfather's ship is repossessed. Despite the bleakness of his surroundings and his seemingly dead-end existence, however, Peter never completely lets go of his dreams, and the film ends on a positive note.

17세기 영국의 사회개혁가인 제라드 윈스탠리의 삶과 최초의 코뮌, ‘디거스’의 작은 혁명을 다룬 역사물. 윈스탠리의 추종자인 ‘디거스’, 일명 ‘땅 파는 사람들’은 성 조지 언덕에 농사를 지으려고 모인 일종의 아나키즘 공동체였다. 대지주와 정부의 반감을 산 이들은 결국 권력의 탄압에 무너졌으나, 토지사유를 반대하고 재산공유제를 요구한 혁신적 시도는 후일 많은 사회주의사상가들에게 깊은 영감을 남겼다. 철저한 역사적 고증이 돋보이는 이 놀라운 영화는 개봉 당시 철저히 외면당했지만, 후일 미국평론가들에 의해 ‘저평가된 걸작’으로 재발견된다.
