National Theatre Live: Allelujah!
Neville
Alan Bennett’s sharp and hilarious new play is ‘just what the doctor ordered’ (Daily Telegraph). Filmed live at London’s Bridge Theatre during its limited run, don’t miss this acclaimed production full of ‘singalongs and stinging wit’ (Guardian). The Beth, an old fashioned cradle-to-grave hospital serving a town in Yorkshire, is threatened with closure as part of an efficiency drive. A documentary crew, eager to capture its fight for survival, follows the daily struggle to find beds on the Dusty Springfield Geriatric Ward, and the triumphs of the old people’s choir. One of Britain’s most celebrated writers, Alan Bennett’s plays include The History Boys, The Lady in the Van and The Madness of George III, all of which were also seen on film. Allelujah! is his tenth collaboration with award-winning director Nicholas Hytner.

Maersk Alabama Crew
Visão multi-facetada da captura, em 2009, do porta-contentores norte-americano Maersk Alabama por piratas da Somália.

O filme mostra a relação entre o comandante do Alabama, o Capitão Richard Phillips, e Muse, o chefe Somali, que o tem como refém. Phillips e Muse vêem-se em rota de colisão quando Muse e a sua tripulação decidem atacar o navio desarmado de Phillips. No inevitável confronto, a 145 milhas da costa da Somália, ambos serão confrontados com forças alheias ao seu controlo.
Jonah
Old Mbwana
Mbwana and his best friend Juma are two young men with big dreams. These dreams become reality when they photograph a gigantic fish leaping out of the sea and their small town blossoms into a tourist hot-spot as a result.

Jonah is a big fish story about the old and the new, and the links and the distances between them. A visual feast, shot though with humour and warmth, it tells an old story in a completely new way.
