Berlin 1945 (2020) // Volker Heise
Chief Operating Officer: Dougie
"A three part documentary of archive footage and readings from contemporary diaries on the fall of Berlin in 1945. It's a terrifying insight into living in a capital city as the fabric of civilisation and decency collapses around you. It doesn’t shy away from the atrocities of the victors or the vanquished and gives a voice to the ordinary people who were just trying to survive."

Bright Star (2009) // Jane Campion
Head of Cinema Operations: Yvonne
"Period romantic drama based on the relationship between Fanny Brawne and the poet John Keats. I loved Campion’s depiction of Fanny Brawne, she’s young and bravely loving in contrast to Keats and his complicated poet’s view of romance. The film is steeped in dappled sunlight and reflects Keats’ emphasis on sensuality and nature in his writing, it’s truly romantic."

Wolfwalkers (2020) // Tomm Moore, Ross Stewart
Edinburgh Cinema Club: Isobel
“Wolfwalkers is a hand-drawn masterpiece with spiralling forests, a lilting score and this way of combining Miyazaki’s magical grit with Disney’s feel-good accessibility. Full of Celtic Myth, Irish History and the woes of over-parenting, this is a powerful film that’ll delight adults and children alike."
