The Ballad of Wallis Island
(Cert 12A)
​ Musician Herb formerly half of a successful folk duo arrives on the remote Wallis Island to play a very lucrative show for super fan Charles a reclusive lottery winner. Herb is surprised when his former musical and romantic partner Nell arrives on the island to play the gig too. Herb attempts to leave the island but stays because he needs the money, the show must go on. The film mines a great deal of warmth and humour from its humble premise.

The Girl With the Needle
(Cert 15) Subtitles
​ In post-World War 1 Copenhagen, Karoline, her husband missing in action, struggles to make ends meet working in a linen factory. After falling pregnant by the factory owner, she seeks help from a woman to have her baby adopted. What starts as a film about the aftermath of post-war living, develops into something else entirely: a Dickensian portrait of a world that is closer to ours than we may think. Stunningly photographed in high contrast black and white.
