Score:
Best friends Conor and Jock dress the same, act the same, and go pretty much everywhere together. When news breaks that 61 bales of cocaine worth seven million euros each has gone missing off Ireland's west coast, the boys steal a pair of bicycles — Jock is already an inveterate bike thief who has attracted the keen attention of a local police sergeant — and pedal across the Irish countryside hoping to find the contraband treasure and sell it to finance their escape from difficult circumstances. With the Garda in close pursuit, mayhem and misadventure inevitably ensue. Delightful and absurdly funny, the film is a portrait of the friendship between two sensitive young desperados with noble intentions.

Experience the music and energy of the 1970's punk underground. When 15-year-old Shay hears the music of The Clash for the first time, it’s a revelation, opening up a new world of social consciousness and anti-establishment defiance beyond anything he’s known in his dead-end London suburb. Drawn into the heart of the city’s burgeoning punk scene, he forges two relationships that will change his life: falling in love with rebellious cool girl Vivian and finding an unexpected connection with none other than The Clash’s electrifying frontman, Joe Strummer. Propelled by a blistering soundtrack that bounces from The Clash to The Ramones to Buzzcocks, London Town captures the sound and spirit of a scene that shook the world.

Set to a choice hip-hop soundtrack and featuring an impressive ensemble cast that includes The Wire's Michael K. Williams, Erykah Badu, and rapper Machine Gun Kelly, The Land crackles with the energy and poetry of the streets.

Projection place: Open Air Cinema
Score:
Holding a mysterious leather suitcase in his hand, Newt Scamander, a young activist wizard from England, visits New York while he is on his way to Arizona. Inside his expanding suitcase hides a wide array of diverse, magical creatures that exist among us, ranging from tiny, twig-like ones, to majestic and humongous ones. It’s the 1920s and times are troubled; the fragile equilibrium of secrecy between the unseen world of wizards and the ordinary or "No-Maj" people is at risk of being unsettled. Voices against wizardry grow daily led by Mary Lou Barebone and fuelled by the increasing disasters ascribed to a dark wizard named Gellert Grindelwald.
