glitz and glamour of pro-boxing, the underworld fighting scene has recently enjoyed a huge surge of mainstream attention, with many pro-
boxers from around the world supporting the renaissance. Selling out its first national arena booking las year, this divisive, and highly stereo-
typed sport has finally experienced a meteoric shift in favour, moving from the underground to a prime-time TV sport. Featuring an impressive

Hardborough, England. Fighting damp, cold and considerable local apathy she struggles to establish herself but soon her fortunes change for
the better. By exposing the narrow minded local townsfolk to the best literature of the day including Nabokov's scandalising "Lolita" and Ray
Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451", she opens their eyes thereby causing a cultural awakening in a town which has not changed for centuries. Her
activities bring her a kindred spirit and ally in the figure of Mr Brundish (Bill Nighy) who is himself sick of the town's stale atmosphere. But this
mini social revolution soon brings her fierce enemies: she invites the hostility of the town's less prosperous shopkeepers and also crosses Mrs.
Gamart (Patricia Clarkson) Harborough's vengeful, embittered alpha female who is herself a wannabe doyenne of the local arts scene. When
Florence refuses to bend to Gamart's will, they begin a struggle not just for the bookshop but for the very heart and soul of the town.

Creation Records, launched iconic bands such as Oasis, Primal Scream, and The Jesus & Mary Chain; standing at the forefront of the Britpop
movement, and selling over 60 million records worldwide. Creation Stories, an exploration of the Scottish music mogul’s life and achievements,
is a fascinating story of relentless ambition, mental torment, drugs, bankruptcy, unfathomable wealth, and courting politicians - and of how one
written-off young Glaswegian upstart rose to irrevocably change the face of British culture.
From best-selling author and writer of the Oscar Nominated ‘Trainspotting’, Irvine Welsh, award-winning producer, Orian Williams, critically
acclaimed UK director Nick Moran, and featuring Trainspotting star, Ewen Bremner.

hotels. He says goodbye (and good riddance) to his dingy flat and smuggles himself to Denmark aboard a cargo ship, landing in a quaint town
with everything he needs -- including a bank to rob. But when he meets a friendly local barmaid and a lovable stray dog that won’t leave his
side, he begins to wonder if prison really is his only chance of a fulfilling life.

Synopsis: Set within a nature reserve called Doxey Marshes, the film is a semi-documentary which follows a group of people
investigating the local legend. From an experimental sound artist with his guide dog to his fellow esoteric associates, they seek to uncover the
truth about a ‘boggart’ (an evil or mischievous spirit) that is associated with the area. Director John E Smoke is the aforementioned sound artist
and has performed in many unusual locations including abandoned buildings and a set at Mermaid Pool in the Staffordshire Moorlands.
During one particular session of his there were claims of a ghostly image being caught on film which went viral online and featured widely in
press at the time. The film mixes a slim ‘plot’ with real-life elements as the musicians perform a set on Doxey Marshes during which a folk
poem about a boggart is recited. At first nothing untoward happens but after the disappearance of a mother and child “the team are left
wondering if the recital has brought something to life”. Following their investigations the film includes field recordings and footage and borrows
from 'actual' local folklore relating to 'boggarts', 'bugs' and other entities.

she was vilified. Left with undiagnosed PTSD, she suffers extreme anxiety, and hallucinations so vivid that she’s no longer sure what’s real and
what isn’t. Rejected by her friends, harassed by the police, and dismissed by the medical profession, a determined Mia forces herself to attend a
residential alternative therapy training, led by Franklin Spitz, a British celebrity therapist who specializes in resolving the causes of PTSD.
However, something terrible has happened to his wife, and a traumatised Franklin is starting to lose his grip on reality. Using increasingly
provocative psychological techniques, he probes Mia for the hidden memories underlying her condition. But the goals of therapist and client
are wildly divergent - Mia is searching for reality and Franklin is desperately trying to avoid it.
This suspenseful, unpredictable, brilliantly stylish and blazingly original film pins you to your seat and keeps you entranced while you begin to

Status: Completed 28 Rue Serbes
Home Office tel: +44 20 7494 8300
Synopsis: Larger than life, wild, scary and androgynous – Grace Jones plays all these parts. Yet here we also discover her as a lover,
daughter, mother, sister and even grandmother, as she submits herself to our gaze and allows us to understand what constitutes her mask. The
stage is where her most extreme embodiments are realised and her theatrical imagination lets loose: this is where the musical of her life is
played out. The film includes Grace's unique performances singing iconic hits such as Slave To The Rhythm, Pull Up To The Bumper, as well as
the more recent autobiographical tracks Williams' Bloods and Hurricane. These personal songs also link to Grace’s family life, as the film takes us
on a holiday road trip across Jamaica, where her family roots and the story of her traumatic childhood are uncovered. In Jamaican patois,
‘Bloodlight’ is the red light that illuminates when an artist is recording and ‘Bami’ means bread, the substance of daily life. Grace Jones:
Bloodlight and Bami weaves together the layers of Grace Jones’ public and private life, as she moves effortlessly between different facets: she is
bohemian traveller, artist and partying hedonist, warm and funny but also a fierce and tenacious businesswoman. The performance continues
to move thematically though the film, with Love Is The Drug acting like an aria, bringing the film to its final and most touching scenes. This is a
Grace we have not seen before, someone who reminds us of what it is to dare to be truly alive.

transience of lust is laid bare, and the true riches of love are revealed.
