In the hilarious dark comedy Sightseers, Chris (co-writer Steve Oram) wants to show Tina (co-writer Alice Lowe) his world, and he wants to do it his way—on a journey through the British Isles in his beloved Abbey Oxford Caravan. Tina's led a sheltered life and there are things that Chris needs her to see—the Crich Tramway Museum, the Ribblehead Viaduct, the Keswick Pencil Museum and the rolling countryside that separates these wonders in his life. But it doesn't take long for the dream to fade. Litterbugs, noisy teenagers and pre-booked RV sites, not to mention Tina's meddling mother, soon conspire to shatter Chris's dreams and send him, and anyone who rubs him the wrong way, over a very jagged edge... Directed by Ben Wheatley (Down Terrace, Kill List). Winner of the Best Screenplay Award at the British Independent Film Awards. Official Web Site Zachary Wigon's Village Voice review... |

In writer/director François Ozon's (Swimming Pool) dramatic thriller In the House, sixteen-year-old Claude (Ernst Unhauer) insinuates himself into the house of fellow high school student Rapha (Bastien Ughetto), writing about his family in essays that perversely blur the lines between reality and fiction for his jaded literature teacher Germain (Fabrice Luchini). Intrigued by this gifted and unusual student, Germain rediscovers his taste for teaching, but the boy's intrusion sparks a series of uncontrollable events. Germain's wife Jeanne (Kristin Scott-Thomas), a contemporary art gallery director, avidly follows Claude's semi-imaginary escapades, while Rapha's mom (Emmanuelle Seigner) is Claude's object of desire. Winner of the Critics Prize at the Toronto International Film Festival. Official Web Site Zachary Wigon's Village Voice review... |

| Bill W. tells the story of William G. Wilson, co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, a man included in TIME Magazine's "100 Persons of the 20th Century." Interviews, recreations, and rare archival material reveal how Bill Wilson, a hopeless drunk near death from his alcoholism, found a way out of his own addiction and then forged a path for countless others to follow. With Bill as its driving force, A.A. grew from a handful of men to a worldwide fellowship of over 2 million men and women—a success that made him an icon within A.A., but also an alcoholic unable to be a member of the very society he had created. A reluctant hero, Bill Wilson lived a life of sacrifice and service, and left a legacy that continues every day, all around the world. Official Web Site |
