Based on Ikiru by Akira Kurosawa, Living stars Bill Nighy as a man determined in the time he has left to wake from his slumber and make a mark on the world.

Directed by BAFTA-winning filmmaker Alison Millar, Lyra is a beautiful and heartfelt film about the life and death of the internationally renowned Northern Irish investigative journalist Lyra McKee.

Martin McDonagh (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri) returns with this jewel of a tragicomedy, a shimmering tale of friendship, feuds and Irish identity.

You’ve never seen a film quite like The Plains, though you may have experienced it outside the confines of a cinema. Australian director David Easteal’s astonishing docu-fiction hybrid builds an immersive three-hour epic from a premise as ordinary as the daily commute.

In a blazingly original second film guaranteed to be unlike anything else you'll see this year, director Cyril Schäublin tells the sort-of-true story of a kind-of-historical incident in the life of 19th-century Russian anarchist Pyotyr Kroptokin.
