Hedda
From writer/director Nia DaCosta comes a provocative, modern reimagining of Henrik Ibsen’s classic play. Hedda (Tessa Thompson) finds herself torn between the lingering ache of a past love and the quiet suffocation of her present life. Over the course of one charged night, long-repressed desires and hidden tensions erupt—pulling her and everyone around her into a spiral of manipulation, passion, and betrayal.
Directed by Nia DaCosta
Release Date: 24 October 2025, UK / Ireland cinemas
Holding Liat
Liat Atzili was kidnapped from her kibbutz on October 7. What begins as a chronicle of her parents, sister, and children's efforts to secure her return, becomes an unflinching portrait of conflicting impulses towards anger, indifference, and compassion straining the bonds of one grieving family.
Directed by Brandon Kramer

The Courageous
In the stunning Valais region of Switzerland, a spirited but struggling single mother battles the invisible weight of poverty and societal judgment.
