Finding Neverland
Date	Location
London at the turn of the 20th century, and the playwright JM Barrie's (Depp) last few plays have been flops. Then by chance one day he meets society widow Sylvia Llewelyn Davies (Winslet) and her adorable, if unruly, brood of children. Through them he becomes inspired to write a new kind of play for kids and adults alike. The first is about a flying boy, a suburban family and a magical place called Neverland. Delightful adaptation of Allan Knee's popular stage play with great performances all… View full details

Date	Location
In a rural area of the Philippines, a father forces his daughter into prostitution. Somewhere else, two men are embarked on a quest for a buried treasure. 'As no other filmmaker, Lav Diaz is involved with the suffering of the people of the Philippines, with its history of colonialism, corruption and poverty. A philosophical drama about the psychological effects of injustice and arbitrariness'. (Gertjan Zuilhof, programmer, International Film Festival Rotterdam). View full details and ticket info

Free Men (Les hommes libres)
Date	Location
Younes (Rahim) is a young Algerian working in WW II Paris when the Germans enter; the authorities give him the choice between prison, or spying on a mosque suspected of smuggling out Jews disguised as Muslims. Ferroukhi's film is worthy, but lacks dramatic tension and a properly fleshed-out protagonist. View full details

Gattu
Date	Location
A charming and intriguing kids’ film from India. Gattu is an orphan, being raised as an apprentice, but he can’t concentrate on his work because he’s obsessed with kite-flying, and in particular with defeating the mysterious Kali, whose black kite rules the skies. To keep his supply of kites, Gattu is prepared to steal, lie – and even go to school, if absolutely necessary … View full details and ticket info

Goodbye First Love (Un amour de jeunesse)
Date	Location
Vain, drippy, lugubrious teenager Camille (Créton) falls in and out of love with dumb puppy Sullivan (Urzendowsky). Lots of nice shots of breasts and landscapes don't alter the fact that this is about unlikable people exchanging faux-profundities. Might work as aversion therapy for people who think they miss being young. View full details

7 Jun 5.15pm	Glasgow Film Theatre, Glasgow

Grabbers
Date	Location
When a trawler is attacked and the shore is found littered with dead marine life, something is clearly wrong on Erin Island. There must be a reasonable explanation … or could it be an invasion of bloodsucking aliens from outer space? Featuring an endearing lead performance from Richard Coyle, (also to be seen in Pusher), Grabbers is an exciting, light-hearted 'monster movie' that affectionately tips its hat to everything that ever fell from the sky or crawled from the sea onto a cinema screen.

Hail
Date	Location
A hard-hitting Australian drama with powerful similarities to Snowtown. Daniel P Jones plays a version of himself, alongside a cast largely consisting of non-actors, in an occasionally near-hallucinogenic telling of his battle to escape the lure of crime and the consequences of betrayal and grief. Unable to accept society and always on the brink of excess and violence, Daniel struggles daily with his existence until one terrible act brings things to a head. View full details and ticket info

Here, Then
Date	Location
An alluringly low-key and enigmatic portrayal of the alienation, disillusionment and loss of direction that have become widespread among young people in contemporary China. Filmed in elegant and absorbing long takes, the film interweaves the lives of several rootless people who become linked with one another by chance, by their sexual obsessions, and by the loss of a mobile phone … View full details and ticket info

Him, Here After (Ini Avan)
Date	Location
The first film since the end of Sri Lanka's civil war to deal seriously with the social problems left in the wake of that 26-year-long conflict, this is also one of the very few films to date made by a Sinhalese director in the Tamil language. A Tamil rebel soldier is rehabilitated and sent back to his village. Feared and resented by his neighbours, he becomes a security guard for a smuggler, while forming a strange bond with the wife of the previous holder of the job. View full details and ticket info

Home for the Weekend (Was bleibt)
Date	Location
During a weekend visit by the two adult sons, the outward calm of a middle-class family is thrown into turmoil when the mother, who suffers from clinical depression, announces her decision to go off her medication. 'An elegant, economical and superbly acted mapping of psychological undercurrents and (not always explicit) family relations'. (Jonathan Romney, Screen Daily). View full details and ticket info
27 Jun 6.35pm 1 Jul 1.15pm Part of Edinburgh International Film Festival: Directors’ Showcase	Filmhouse, Edinburgh

Hospitalité (Kantai)
Date	Location
A stylish mixture of deadpan social satire, Buñuelian surrealism and unnerving suspence. A mild-mannered Tokyo man helps out an old acquaintance he barely remembers by making him an apprentice in his small printing business. The new worker soon becomes a permanent resident in his benefactor's household, bringing along a blond woman he introduces as his Brazilian wife. Step by step, the visiting couple subvert the relationships between their host, his younger wife and his unmarried sister. View full details and ticket info

How I Spent My Summer Vacation
Date	Location
A nameless crook (Gibson) crashes his car and is thrown into the sordid Tijuana prison El Pueblito. Star and co-writer Gibson revels in an enjoyable, controversy-free action-comedy with the zing of Lethal Weapon, that even the most ardent Mel-hater would find hard to dislike. View full details

Ill Manors
Date	Location
Six interweaved storylines about violence, prostitution and drugs, all set around London's Forest Gate. The directorial debut of Ben Drew (aka hip-hop artist Plan B) is raw, uncompromising and ambitious; Drew elicits great performances and takes trouble to understand his wayward characters. A kind of hoodie Magnolia. View full details

Indecent Proposal
Date	Location
Suave bastard Redford offers poverty-stricken yuppies Moore and Harrelson a million dollars if he can sleep with the lady and dilemma ensues. Killer base material, but Lyne makes a toweringly abominable film out of it. Cavernously empty stuff. View full details
12 Jun 6.45pm	Sloans, Glasgow

The Invader (L'envahisseur)
Date	Location
An illegal immigrant is driven by obsessional desire and murderous revenge. From the surreal opening, it’s clear that this is no run of the mill look at immigration and exploitation. Amadou is an earnest, hard-working African who finds himself lost and alone in Brussels, where he becomes fixated with an attractive businesswoman. There are echoes of Taxi Driver as he is drawn down a path of self-destructive passion in which no one he comes into contact with will remain unscathed. View full details and ticket info

Irvine Welsh's Ecstasy
Date	Location
Lloyd (Sinclair) is a club-loving drug-smuggler who dumps his girlfriend (Andrup) in favour of Heather (Kreuk), but their happiness is threatened by psychotic club owner Solo (Rota). This drear, witless compilation of drug-movie clichés has no sense of time or place, and replaces Welsh's strength of detail with limp vagueness. View full details
26 Jun–28 Jun Tue & Thu 7.30pm	macrobert, Stirling

Isn't Anyone Alive? (Ikiteru mono inai no ka)
Date	Location
Cult Japanese director Gakuryu Ishii (formerly known as Sogo Ishii, a longstanding influence on Quentin Tarantino) presents a world coming to an end. On a university campus the students separately rehearse a performance, discuss an urban myth and debate the future of an unborn child, but all are inconvenienced by their sudden unexplained deaths. Adapting the screenplay from his own play, writer Shiro Maeda’s dialogue is shot through with absurdist observations and deftly mixes dread with… View full details and ticket info
