Sundance Award winning comedy, THE INCOMER is a modern folk fairy tale set on a remote Scottish island, where two siblings (Gayle Rankin and Grant O'Rourke) survive by hunting seabirds, retelling the stories of their ancestors, and defending the isle from dreaded 'Incomers'. Their world is upended with the arrival of an awkward council worker (Domhnall Gleeson) who has come to uproot them from their homeland on behalf of the government.

"Writer-director Louis Paxton’s debut has the keenest of wits, and Rankin and O’Rourke deliver two of the funniest comic turns we’ve seen in a long time." David Fear, Rolling Stone

Maria (Saoirse Ronan) a primary school teacher doing her best to inspire a class of 10-year-olds, is stifled by one unruly and chaotic student.

With her career in question and the child's behaviour spiralling, she makes a series of bad decisions that lead to her accidentally taking and locking this "bad apple" in her home.

Maria tries desperately to backtrack, but when the class starts flourishing and the staff and parents are thrilled with the improvement, she finds herself in a very complicated predicament.

"This is a consistently engaging, funny film, one that should provoke conversations not just about the systemic problems in education but how they reflect everything around them." Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com

A love story like no other, The Cycle of Love is an inspiring, heart-warming, epic true-life adventure about self-belief, destiny and the courage to risk everything for love, traversing continents in a journey spanning Delhi to Sweden.

The film follows the extraordinary true story of PK, a 23-year-old street artist from Delhi who sets off with a handful of paint brushes and a second-hand bicycle on a 6,000 mile journey across Europe and Asia to find Lotta, the woman who captured his heart during her visit to India. Convinced their meeting was fate, reinforced by an astrologer’s prophecy that matched Lotta’s description, PK embarks on a leap of faith that becomes a journey of love, identity and transformation.

"Delicate and heartwarming, Orlando von Einsiedel’s stirring documentary "The Cycle of Love" is the kind of film whose sweet subject transcends time and borders." Robert Daniels, RogerEbert.com

The great Willem Dafoe lends his delicate gravitas to the role of Ed Saxberger, a forgotten

New York poet who works in the post office. After an eager and flattering young admirer

(Edmund Donovan) appears on his doorstep, Saxberger is beckoned into a coterie of

twentysomething admirers who anoint him as a rediscovered genius. Intoxicated by the

attention—and by the alluring presence of Gloria, the group’s “tragic heroine” (a sinuous,

Kurt Weill–crooning Greta Lee)—Saxberger gradually reckons with the authenticity of his

newfound poetic circle.

This thoughtful, witty second feature from Kent Jones (DIANE), working from a sly and hugely entertaining script by Oscar-nominated screenwriter Samy Burch (MAY DECEMBER), is a wistful yet unromantic look at a lost idea of downtown New York.

"It reaffirms that Burch is a notable talent with a particular knack for creating complex and contradictory female characters. It may be Ed's story, but it's Gloria who steals the film whenever she's on screen, thanks to a knockout turn from Lee." Wendy Ide, Screen International

From Focus Features and Working Title comes an irresistible new take on Jane Austen's iconic Sense and Sensibility: a charming, witty, and deeply relatable story of love and sisterhood starring Daisy Edgar-Jones, Esmé Creed-Miles, Caitríona Balfe, George MacKay and Fiona Shaw.

"In Creed-Miles’s shaggy curls and Dillane’s impish smile, there’s a little indie punk to Marianne and Willoughby... Sense and Sensibility’s modern touches, though, remain unobtrusive by the grace of Diana Reid’s excellent script." Clarisse Loughrey, The Independent

In Remake, filmmaker Ross McElwee turns his lens on the passage of time and the uneasy space between documenting life and understanding it. The film traces McElwee’s relationship with his son Adrian, and the fragile bond the camera created between them while Adrian was alive, and now that he’s gone.

Drawing from decades of footage, some shot by Ross, some by Adrian, the film becomes a layered excavation of memory and image making. Threaded through is the ghost of another project: a stalled effort by Hollywood to fictionalise McElwee’s 1986 classic, Sherman’s March. What emerges is a work shaped by absence and propelled forward by a father’s love for his son.

‘Stunning…A tear-stained, deeply personal and utterly singular documentary’ ★★★★★ Time Out

Amongst the Island's iconic statues, and as the longtime partners wrestle with their dark pasts and present conspiracies, Chris's newfound bond with a pair of rebellious students (Mariana di Girolamo and Ailín Salas) threatens to send everyone’s trip to this remote paradise sideways.

"While Rockwell seems to do his best work with McDonagh, and this is no exception, flowers go to Malkovich who delivers arguably his finest screen performance of the 21st century." David Jenkins, Little White Lies
