Popular events

The Raid
Date	Location
An Indonesian SWAT team storms a Jakarta tower block intending to take down crime lord Tama (Sahetapy), but finds itself trapped.

Death Watch (La mort en direct)
Date	Location
Katherine (Schneider) is a novelist living in Glasgow who's been diagnosed with a terminal disease; Roddy (Keitel) befriends her, but unknown to her he works for a TV company with its own agenda.

All in Good Time
Date	Location
East is East writer Ayub Khan-Din adapts his own play (itself based on a story by Bill Naughton) about a British-Asian newly-married couple (Ritchie, Karan) whose intrusive family continually hinders them from having sex for the first time.

Two Years at Sea
Date	Location
Documentary about Jake Williams, a man living an isolated existence in northern Scotland. Rivers' debut feature has no voiceover or dialogue – there are no interviews with Williams – but with breathtaking images and a bewitching soundtrack, it's a handsome and meditative film, ultimately honest and uplifting.
