    A brilliant, funny and poignant film that subtly pillories western 'values'. A lama sends a monk to buy a gun to 'set things right' as change occurs in the country and a US antique gun collector tries to get it back when it's given to the monk for karma. Gorgeous to look at and brilliant.

    A commanding performance from Mikael Persbrandt as Dag Hammarskjold (the secretary general of The U.N.) and incredible production values make this drama, set in 1961 a fascinating and rewarding watch. World conflict and internal conflicts combine to bring Dag's life to closure. "Compelling."

    The coolest film in the festival could take you mad. US jazz collides with Cold War colonial crimes in this electrifying film examining the CIA’s complicity in state-sanctioned murder – and its use of popular music to cover its tracks. "Mind blowing." Harper's Bazaar.

    Calling all film lovers. Drop your pretensions and watch in sheer delight as a cat and a group of other characters whose home home is flooded; a Labrador, a stork, a lemur and a pretty sleepy capybara all end up on a boat having to survive until the water subsides. " A marvel."

    Put simply the Beast alluded to here is "the fear of loving, of abandoning oneself" The amazing Lea Seydoux is Gabrielle, who as part of a process to purify her DNA experiences three time frames with Louis (George MacKay) in an attempt to overcome that fear. Results differ. "A transcendent epic."

    Aquarius is a film about the Festival in 1973 that transformed Nimbin forever and the power of change, that reaches down through generations today. It was consequential and the film features archive footage, interviews with organisers, participants and some bewildered locals. Cool soundtrack.
