The Shape of Water 
Another chance to see Guillermo del Toro’s multi Oscar-winning fantasy: an unusual aquatic love story between an amphibian man and a shy, mute cleaner working at a top secret government facility.
Elisa (Sally Hawkins) lives a quiet and contained life, friends with her next-door neighbour Giles (Richard Jenkins) and co-worker Zelda (Octavia Spencer).
Yet, with the arrival of an amazing, Amazonian river man (Doug Jones) at her workplace, her extraordinary ability to communicate leads them to forge a deep understanding and romantic connection. Standing in their way is the sour bully Strickland (Michael Shannon), a government official determined to stop the amphibian man from falling into the wrong hands at the height of the Cold War.
Brilliant, romantic and adventurous, this latest fantasy from del Toro features a stellar turn from Hawkins at its heart and as ever, an incredible performance behind the make up from Jones.
Screening as part of Q-Con XXV: three days of gaming and anime at Queen’s University Belfast Students’ Union, 22-24 June 2018.

Perfect Blue
The debut feature from Satoshi Kon (Tokyo Godfathers), is a pitch dark, gleefully excessive thriller that has earned apt comparisons to the work of David Lynch.
