Filmed over four years among coastal communities in Norway, Newfoundland as well as Ireland, this documentary from the award winning maker of The Pipe, focuses on the lives of fishermen facing down the big-money interests of factory ships, oil and gas explorers. Narrated by Brendan Gleeson it shows that the competition for the use of the resources on the open ocean is fierce and potentially damaging to the sustainability of coastal communities.

(Saul Fia)

Son of Saul thumb
Director: László Nemes
Hungary 2015
107 minutes
Cert: 15A
 

 

This grim depiction of Auschwitz, in the latter days of WWII, is from the viewpoint of Saul, a Jewish prisoner immune to either hope or fear, who is determined to carry out a last desperate act of moral survival. We see only what Saul sees. The matter-of-factness of the horror only makes it more unsettling.

Winner of numerous awards at Film Festivals all over the world including an Oscar, the Grand Jury Prize at Cannes and the Golden Globe Award for Best Film 2016.
