Finding her feet in this gang, one of whom is Jake (Shia LaBeouf), she soon gets into the group’s lifestyle of hard-partying nights, law-bending days and young love.

Her greatest happiness was her relationship with her twin brother, but since his death, 18 months ago, she’s on a downward spiral that includes returning to her rural home-town, abandoning any hope of a sex life, and making the shed at the bottom of her Mum and Nan’s garden into her home. When her Mum serves her with an ultimatum, Anna’s life of emotional isolation becomes impossible to maintain. Soon she is entangled with a troubled boy obsessed with Westerns, and the local estate agent whose awkward interpersonal skills continually undermine his attempts to seduce her. A story about confronting the things we are most scared of – exploring the universal themes of being lost and finding yourself, making peace with who you are, and regaining self-confidence and dignity. It’s basically the same themes as ‘Rocky’ but with thumbs. And a cowboy. And no boxing.

Los Angeles CA 90048 USA +1 310 777 3590 info@imglobalfilm.com www.imglobalfilm.com Alone in Berlin The American Epic Sessions Synopsis Synopsis Berlin 1940. The city is paralyzed by fear. Otto and Anna Quangel are a working class couple living in a shabby apartment block trying, like everyone else, to stay out of trouble under Nazi rule. But when their only child is killed fighting at the front, their loss drives them to an extraordinary act of resistance. They start to drop anonymous postcards all over the city attacking Hitler and his regime. If caught, it means certain execution. Soon their campaign comes to the attention of the Gestapo inspector Escherich and a murderous game of cat-and-mouse begins. But the game serves only to strengthen Otto and Anna’s sense of purpose and a renewed love for each other. Slowly their drab lives and marriage are transformed as they unite in their quiet but profound rebellion.. This film is a haunting collision of past and present, presided over by the high priests of the great tradition of American music, Jack White and T Bone Burnett, who also executive produced with Robert Redford. Long before digital file sharing, MP3, compact discs, tape and vinyl, a machine was forged from ingenuity. The Western Electric lathe, a marvel of analogue engineering operated by a weight and pulleys, pioneered the recording of American music. In an old Hollywood studio, one has been lovingly reassembled. In it, White gathers an extraordinary convocation of musical superstars, all keen to cut a record in the unforgiving three minutes the Western Electric provides. Featuring live performances from Elton John, Nas, Willie Nelson, Alabama Shakes, Steve Martin, Ana Gabriel, Merle Haggard, Taj Mahal and many more.

The artist known as Banksy illegally erects a ten-foot statue in a small square off Shaftsbury Avenue in central London. Titled ‘The Drinker’, this sculpture is a replica of Rodin’s ‘The Thinker’ - with a traffic cone placed on its head. The only clue as to who put it there is a stencil on the plinth that merely says ‘Banksy’. Then, one day, in broad daylight, masked thieves pull up with a flatbed truck and cart ‘The Drinker’ away - a reporter from a national newspaper receives a ransom note from a man calling himself AK47, claiming to represent a group of ‘art terrorists’ calling themselves ‘ART KEIDA’. Synopsis Nineteen-time champion jump jockey AP McCoy (aka Tony McCoy) has notched up more than 4,300 wins, 700 falls, 40 broken bones and a BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award in 2010 across a near 25-year racing career. This documentary follows AP in the final year of his extraordinary career as he fights to become champion for an unbelievable 20th time and faces a future out of the saddle. Made with exclusive access to the Northern Irish jockey, his family and racing teams for the 2014-15 season. Toronto International Film Festival 2015 - World premiere After several years back and forth between the media, Banksy and Art Keida, it is alleged that the artist called Banksy ‘arranged’ for the statue to be destroyed by any means necessary... Now, after all this time, it seems that AK47 is about to breathe new life into the saga.

In this unflinching documentary, we meet a host of men whose lives have been affected, from self-confessed ‘slammers’ to sexual health workers, each of whom talk candidly about the pleasures and perils associated with the scene. (LFF brochure) A middle aged, middle class British couple are living like feral creatures in a camouflaged hole in the middle of a vast forest somewhere in France. Less than a year ago, they lost everything in a freak wildfire. Traumatised to the bone, the couple vanished and ended up where they are. She does not want to return to civilisation because only here she feels she can make amends. Her husband, on the other hand, finds the constant reminder of their misfortune increasingly unbearable. The couple’s relationship reaches breaking point and repressed emotions come bursting out to the surface.

Nobody involved had any idea how big the film would become, many couldn’t even remember the title. Yet, for the extras and actors in smaller roles, their faces hidden in masks and helmets, this seemingly insignificant job would go on to colour their lives even four decades later.

As he goes on to tell his story, it gradually becomes clear that nothing is quite what it seems. ‘The Fear of 13’ is a stylistically daring experiment in storytelling, a psychological thriller constructed from a single four-day long interview. In a monologue that is part confessional and part performance, Nick, the sole protagonist, tells a tale with all the twists and turns of classic crime drama. But as the story unfolds, it reveals itself as something much deeper, an emotionally powerful meditation on the redemptive power of love and literature. A final shocking twist casts everything in a new light. Based on the true story of the eponymous New York heiress who obsessively pursued her dream of becoming a great singer. The film celebrates the human spirit, the power of music and the passion of amateurs everywhere.

The Asperger’s syndrome that helped forge Numan’s tunnel-like ambition, informing his music and image, also brought problems. At a time when the public knew little about the condition, the press labeled him a freak, one paper suggested his parents should have been doctored for giving birth to him. Depression, anxiety, near bankruptcy and a long period in the wilderness followed. Then Numan fell in love with his biggest fan, Gemma, who helped him rediscover his passion for music.

This incident ignited a riot that escalated into a week of the worst civil unrest in recent British history. Captain Maurice Seddon, an inventor and eccentric in the great English tradition, made electrically heated clothing for ‘paraplegics, sclerotics, arthritics, rheumatics, the poor and landscape painters’. The details of his extremely modest, uncompromising way of life are here unpicked through a rich weave of incredible archival TV appearances from around the world (he featured on amongst others, the David Letterman show) plus very touching 16mm and mobile phone footage shot by friend and director William English. ‘Heated Gloves’ evokes Ben Rivers’ ‘Two Years at Sea’ and the Maysles brothers’ ‘Grey Gardens’, whilst highlighting the codes of television reportage and remaining in and of itself very special and unique – just like its subject. (LFF brochure) This film explores the life and death of Mark Duggan, and features his childhood friends, Marcus and Kurtis, as they struggle to come to terms with the death of their friend - whilst also waiting to see if the inquest into his shooting will provide them with a satisfactory version of the truth.

G. Ballard: London, 1975. A slick apartment tower rises above the Thames, the beginnings of what will soon become the world’s biggest financial hub. Dominating the landscape, it is simply called the HIGH-RISE... its address a mark of exclusivity. Its newest resident is Robert Laing, an ambitious young doctor utterly seduced by the lifestyle and cuttingedge technology the high-rise has to offer. He is introduced to the seedy underbelly of the high-rise by Wilder, a charismatic provocateur. The cracks in this apparently flawless society grow rapidly, and Laing is shocked at the depravity he sees. Life in the high-rise quickly descends into madness and violence, and Laing finds himself amongst the marauding hordes of bloodthirsty tenants who take over the building, floor by floor. Synopsis While investigating her late parents’ involvement with the Anglo Iranian Oil Company (BP), the filmmaker comes across the letters of a petroleum geologist in Iran in the 1930s who was later to embark on a search for the origins of civilisation. ‘The Host’ sets out on its own exploration, to decipher signs from the fragmented images buried in the BP (British Petroleum) Archive. This journey through the past interweaves a number of stories drawn from both personal memory and the records of an imperial history, which builds a picture of a 20th-century colonial encounter. ‘The Host’ is a personal essay film about the stories we tell about ourselves and others, the facts and fictions we live by, and their consequences.

Its main protagonists – a director and a screenwriter – are in the early stages of developing a commercial feature film, but soon their own conflicting desires and the events simultaneously occurring around them, take them far beyond their initial intentions. Forced to radically reconfigure her project, the director becomes more and more drawn into conversations with the actors she has cast, which centre on the way cinema intersects with their own lives and gives expression to the realities they are confronted with.

Following a long fascination with the religion and with much experience in dealing with eccentric, unpalatable and unexpected human behavior, the beguilingly unassuming Theroux won’t take no for an answer when his request to enter the Church’s headquarters is turned down. Inspired by the Church’s use of filming techniques, and aided by ex-members of the organisation, Theroux uses actors to replay some incidents people claim they experienced as members in an attempt to better understand the way it operates. In a bizarre twist, it becomes clear that the Church is also making a film about Louis Theroux. Suffused with a good dose of humour and moments worthy of a Hollywood script, this true life film is stranger than fiction.

Following a gruelling battle with cancer, Armstrong returned to his cycling career in 1999 with his sights set firmly on winning the Tour de France. With the help of the infamous Italian physician Michele Ferrari and team director Johan Bruyneel, he developed the most sophisticated doping program in the history of the sport, allowing Lance and his American teammates to dominate the world of cycling, winning the Tour an unprecedented seven times. However, not everyone believed the fairytale... Sunday Times journalist David Walsh soon began to question whether the ‘world’s greatest athlete’ was in fact ‘clean’. In 2012, the Ivy House pub in Peckham was sold to property developers as part of the ongoing gentrification of south London. The locals opposed it. Unfolding from this scenario, the film weaves verbatim testament into folk operatic form with the Ivy House itself, embodied and imagined as a central character and inhabited by the memories of the generations who have passed through its doors. Sarah Turner films the community’s creative reanimation of the mourned pub through dance, poetry and song... which both records and creates a vision of social possibility... The activism that saved the pub is a metaphor for social and creative agency. This is not just a film about resistance; it is a film that itself refuses categorisation... a triumphant genre-blending documentary which turns community action into an exhilarating participatory opera.

Dickinson wrote a poem a day, but only a fraction of her output was published throughout her lifetime. She was extremely shy, but with a wry, lively sense of humour and loved to laugh or to be made to laugh. Her friendships were intense but it was within the family that she found her greatest happiness. Her life is one of quiet dignity. The poetry magnificent. All the terror and beauty of the world distilled down to the quintessence of meaning and expression. Quite simply one of the world’s greatest poets.

His obsessive efforts are funded by a large financial settlement for an accident he cannot remember, but neither his friends nor he can anticipate the extremes he will go to in realising his quest. “The four essay films which comprise ‘The Seasons in Quincy’ each take different aspects of British writer and thinker John Berger’s life in the Haute-Savoie, and combine ideas and motifs from Berger’s own work with the atmosphere of his mountain home. Each film was created as an individual work of art but they combine to make a feature film... showing how film can move beyond text, and beyond fine art, to offer a multifaceted and multi-layered portrait.

Synopsis Director Jennifer Peedom set out to uncover tension in the 2014 Everest climbing season from the point of view of the Sherpas, and instead captured a tragedy when an avalanche struck, killing 16 Sherpas. ‘Sherpa’ tells the story of how the Sherpas united after the tragedy in the face of fierce opposition to reclaim the mountain they call Chomolungma. Synopsis ‘The Sky Trembles and the Earth is Afraid and the Two Eyes Are Not Brothers’ [the complete title of this piece] is partially inspired by Paul Bowles’ story “A Distant Episode”, and charts a mysterious transformation from observational making-of to inventive adaptation, shot against a staggering Moroccan landscape. “Ben Rivers explores the illusion of filmmaking in Morocco... The Moroccan Sahara is littered with the legacy of films shot in its dramatic vistas: abandoned sets that reveal the artifice of filmmaking and trigger our recollection of the half-imagined spaces of familiar films from decades past.” (Artangel) Toronto International Film Festival 2015 International premiere Details Year: 2015 Running Time: 96 mins Director: Jennifer Peedom Producer: Bridget Ikin, John Smithson Co-Producer: Jennifer Peedom Executive Producer: David Gross, John Maynard, David Griffin Editor: Christian Gazal Screenwriter: Jennifer Peedom Directory of Photography: Renan Ozturk, Hugh Miller, Ken Sauls Sound: Sam Petty Music: Antony Partos Principal Cast: Phurba Tashi Sherpa, Russell Brice, Ed Douglas Production Company Australia, UK coproduction Felix Media (AU), Arrow Media (UK) Arrow Media 1st Floor 17-18 Margaret Street London W1W 8RP +44 (0)20 7489 6300 info@arrowmedia.com www.arrowmedia.com 40 ON RELEASE Locarno Film Festival 2015 - World premiere Details Year: 2015 Running Time: 98 mins Director: Ben Rivers Producer: Jacqui Davies, Ben Rivers Executive Producer: Cressida Hubbard, Michael Morris, Lizzie Francke Editor: Ben Rivers, Benjamin Mirguet Screenwriter: Ben Rivers Directory of Photography: Ben Rivers Sound: Philippe Ciompi Principal Cast: Oliver Laxe Sales Agent Production Company Artangel with the support of Jacqui Davies Ltd 85 Mallard Place the BFI Film Fund London Artangel TW1 4SW 31 Eyre Street Hill +44 (0)7711 416621 London info@jacquidavies.com EC1R 5EW www.jacquidavies.com +44 (0)20 7713 1400 info@artangel.org.uk www.artangel.org.uk Jacqui Davies Ltd 85 Mallard Place London TW1 4SW +44 (0)7711 416621 info@jacquidavies.com www.jacquidavies.com Spaceship Special Correspondents 1st Synopsis Synopsis When his daughter goes missing in an apparent alien abduction, Gabriel’s search takes him dangerously close to her strange group of socalled friends.

And that timeless dynamic is the beating heart of ‘Tommy’s Honour’. The intimate, powerfully moving tale of Tom Morris and his son Tommy, the real-life nineteenth century founders of the modern game of golf. Set in St. Andrews, Scotland, during the hidebound Victorian era, the story opens in 1866 as 15-year-old Tommy Morris heads to the links with his father Tom Morris... Already a legend, Tom Morris has secured his place in the history of the ancient game. Tommy, blessed with talent and fuelled by ambition, chafes at his father’s commands as he hurtles toward adulthood. He will soon outshine him. Tensions rise, and father and son clash over the sport and the unwritten rules of social class. Synopsis When Howard Brookner lost his life to AIDS in 1989, the 35-year-old director had completed two feature documentaries and was in post-production on his narrative debut, ‘Bloodhounds of Broadway’. Twenty-five years later, his nephew, Aaron, sets out on a quest to find the lost negative of ‘Burroughs: The Movie’, his uncle’s critically-acclaimed portrait of legendary author William S. Burroughs. When Aaron uncovers Howard’s extensive archive in Burroughs’ bunker, it not only revives the film for a new generation, but also opens a vibrant window on New York City’s creative culture from the 1970s and ‘80s, and inspires a wide-ranging exploration of his beloved uncle’s legacy.

Winter on Fire: Ukraine’s Fight For Freedom Synopsis Synopsis Saar is a gay man from a religious family in Israel. After being kicked out of his conservative kibbutz because of his sexual orientation, Saar flees to London where he enjoys a gay lifestyle denied to him in Israel. He lives the dream, but wakes up to a nightmare when he discovers that he has contracted HIV. When he breaks the news to his family, they struggle with fears and prejudices. With the support and warmth of Saar’s surrogate brothers - the London Gay Men’s Chorus - he begins a reconciliation process with his biological family in Israel. Saar finds himself torn between the two worlds and must make a decision: should he return to Israel and embrace his family once more, or stay in London and live in exile forever. Saar and the rest of the London Gay Men’s Chorus provide a glorious soundtrack for this tender, honest and intimate film by acclaimed directors Barak Heymann and Tomer Heymann (‘Mr. Gaga’, ‘Paper Dolls’ and ‘I Shot My Love’). Shot over several years, this documentary is about the power of forgiveness and the power that home has, no matter how far we go. A visceral, in-depth look at the bloody Ukrainian uprising in Kiev’s Maidan Square in the winter of 2013-14 that resulted in the removal of the Russianbacked President Viktor Yanukovych.

The year before they had successfully sued the owner for not allowing them to share a double bed. Events take a deadly turn when another guest arrives who they think might have something more sinister in mind. Marking the 50th anniversary of England’s victory in the 1966 World Cup, ‘Bobby’ explores the remarkable true story of English footballing legend and World Cup-winning Captain, Bobby Moore. Footballer, father, cultural icon and footballing legend. Moore was a hero to successive generations of footballers and football fans alike, described by Pele as the best defender he ever played against. Moore fought many battles besides those witnessed by millions on the football field. Behind the glory lies the story of a man who faced highs and lows with the same strength and bravery. But he died young, cruelly shunned by the game and by the very people who owed him so much. The story is told by his two wives, his friends and fans, including Pele, Sir Geoff Hurst and Ray Winstone, whose words are mixed with previously unseen archive footage. A powerful, dramatic and deeply personal portrait of a genuine footballing icon.

Revolving around the ‘battles’ linked to his long filmographyranging from the campaign to combat homelessness prompted by the 1966 film ‘Cathy Come Home’, to a right-wing press backlash over the Palme d’Or win for ‘The Wind That Shakes The Barley’ in 2006, to a fight with the censors over the language in ‘Sweet Sixteen’. Viceroy’s House in Delhi was the glorious home of the British rulers of India. For six months in 1947, Lord Mountbatten assumed the post of the last Viceroy, charged with returning India to its people. Mountbatten lived upstairs together with his wife and daughter. Downstairs lived their 5,000 Hindu, Muslim and Sikh servants. As the political elite took their seats upstairs to wrangle over the birth of independent India and what was to become Partition, conflict erupted throughout the House. In a moment of history that demands to be wider understood, a catastrophic decision was taken that continues to shake our world. A provocative and revealing account of the life and career of one of Britain’s foremost filmmakers, produced as he turns eighty, looking back at over fifty years of filmmaking.
