SUMMARY:& SONS
DESCRIPTION:The estranged sons of a reclusive novelist are called to meet him after he becomes convinced he is about to die. But instead of seeking forgiveness for their shattered family\, he tells them a wild secret that could reframe their entire past. As the brothers navigate their father’s towering shadow\, questions of legacy\, love\, and belonging rise to the surface with piercing urgency. \nThis deeply intimate portrait of family\, responsibility\, inheritance\, and the fragile ties that shape identity is anchored by a central performance from a commanding Bill Nighy. An ensemble cast and luminous cinematography makes this all the more powerful.

SUMMARY:SILENCED
DESCRIPTION:More sessions soon. \nJennifer Robinson\, Amber Heard and Brittany Higgins have all experienced the full force of weaponised defamation laws – but these indomitable activists and survivors of gendered violence won’t keep quiet. \nIn 2017\, #MeToo replaced the social stigma of discussing gendered violence with public solidarity and support for victim-survivors. The re-silencing was swift\, vicious … and legalistic. Alleged perpetrators now used defamation lawsuits as cudgels to punish survivors for speaking out\, and to deter journalists from exposing prominent people to public scrutiny. As a barrister who famously stood up for Amber Heard in a long-running\, all-too-public defamation case in the UK\, Jennifer Robinson has dedicated her career to fighting against these attacks\, witnessing firsthand how such actions drag survivors through emotionally\, professionally and financially ruinous legal proceedings. \nIn her incendiary exposé that premiered in Sundance’s World Cinema Documentary Competition\, Selina Miles (Martha: A Picture Story\, MIFF 2019) gives voice to experts like Robinson and Sibongile Ndashe who – in their work as lawyers and activists – doggedly pursue procedural justice\, as well as women like Higgins\, Heard and Colombian journalist Catalina Ruiz-Navarro who’ve been the targets of or caught in defamation lawfare pursued by alleged perpetrators. This furious\, urgent documentary indicts a misogynist status quo: as Ndashe says\, “The law is designed not to believe women.” \n“An essential\, galvanising watch … [with] heartfelt interviews which convey the often-devastating emotional impact of telling the truth.” – Screen Daily \nMore sessions soon.

SUMMARY:THE WEIGHT
DESCRIPTION:More session times announced soon! \nWhen Samuel (Ethan Hawke) is torn from his daughter and sent to a brutal prison\, Warden Clancy (Russell Crowe) offers a high-stakes proposition: smuggle gold out of a remote mine with a dangerous crew of prisoners and he’ll win his freedom. But as the group journeys into the unforgiving wilderness\, the real threat isn’t the terrain – it’s the betrayal and violence festering within their ranks. Surrounded by greed\, suspicion\, and danger\, Samuel must risk everything to reunite with his child. \nAnchored by a pair of powerhouse performances from Hawke as the story’s resourceful center and Crowe as Clancy\, the corrupt prison warden who hatches the plot to steal the gold\, the film is a potent story about love and redemption.
