SPECIAL
Tickets on sale: Wed 22 Oct From the visionary director of The Nightmare Before Christmas, and based on Neil Gaiman’s bestselling book, comes a spectacular stop-motion animated adventure. Coraline Jones is bored in her new home until she finds a secret door and discovers an alternative version of her life on the other side. On the surface, this parallel reality is eerily similar to her real life and the people in it - only much better. But when this seemingly perfect world turns dangerous, and her other parents try to trap her forever, Coraline must count on her resourcefulness, determination and bravery to escape this increasingly perilous world - and save her family.
IDA Showing from: Fri 31 Oct Tickets on sale: Wed 22 Oct Polish language film with English subtitles. Seamlessly weaving together the deeply resonant narratives of two wonderfully realized characters, Ida is a beautifully filmed meditation on identity set in Poland in 1962.18-year old Anna (stunning newcomer Agata Trzebuchowska), a sheltered orphan raised in a convent, is preparing to become a nun when the Mother Superior insists she first visit her sole living relative. Naive, innocent Anna soon finds herself in the presence of her aunt Wanda (Agata Kulesza), a worldly and cynical Communist Party insider, who shocks her with the declaration that her real name is Ida and her Jewish parents were murdered during the Nazi occupation. This revelation triggers a heart-wrenching journey into the countryside, to the family house and into the secrets of the repressed past, evoking the haunting legacy of the Holocaust and the realities of postwar Communism.
A DANGEROUS GAME Showing from: Fri 31 Oct Tickets on sale: Wed 22 Oct In this sequel to the award-winning You’ve Been Trumped, director Anthony Baxter once again follows American billionaire Donald Trump and a cast of others who want to turn places into golf courses and playgrounds for the super rich. From the historic site of Dubrovnik to the ancient sand dunes and rolling green hills of the seaside town of Balmedie, these tycoons influence governments and meddle in national environmental policies to acquire their latest trophies. With in-depth interviews and Baxter’s expert storytelling, we learn just how devastating these golf courses can be to the surrounding countryside and water tables. In this funny, inspiring and at times heartbreaking David and Goliath story for the 21st century, the locals don’t give in easily. But will their fight be enough to protect their land and traditional way of life?
