A long train ride from Moscow to Murmansk becomes a journey of unexpected connection in Juho Kuosmanen’s character-driven drama. Beautifully believable performances from Haarla and Borisov add emotional weight to the film’s central theme of overcoming otherness and finding common ground across personal, cultural and geographical borders.
Operation Mincemeat, the name of a top-secret intelligence plan to fool the Germans using a dead body as a decoy together with a briefcase full of carefully faked documents.
It’s a ripping yarn, uses a quality cast of British character actors and it rattles along like a thriller.

A double bill with a buffet. The first film, Rabbit Proof Fence, was first shown on the 17th October 2003. It’s a great film and was the best attended film when we operated from the community lounge at Welland Park Community College.
It’s charming, well acted and beautifully done. ‘Downton Abbey, A New Era’ is a film that manages to be huge fun and yet will still have many of us dabbing gently at our eyes. Yes, Downton has done it again.
The Last Duel is an epic, well-acted and thought-provoking drama. The battle scenes are vicious but pale in comparison to the central final duel, a superbly tense and bone-breaking affair.
“Love Sarah” is a gentle reminder of the power of love in times of grief and the importance of trusting your existing “family” circle. The feel-good drama is a celebration of life and inspires hope. It will warm the cockles of your heart.
