Engaging, emotional and riveting, Farewell is an intricate and highly
intelligent thriller pulled from the pages of history—about an ordinary
man thrust into the biggest theft of Soviet information of the Cold War. A
piece of history largely unknown until now, Farewell begins in 1981,
when U.S./Soviet relations are at their lowest point in more than a decade.
A French businessman based in Moscow, Pierre Froment (French director Guillaume
Canet, Tell No One), makes an unlikely connection with Grigoriev (Palme
d'Or and Golden Bear winner Emir Kusturica, Underground), a senior
KGB officer disenchanted with what the Communist ideal has become under Brezhnev.
Grigoriev begins passing him highly sensitive information about the Soviet
spy network in the U.S. Torn between the fear of putting his wife (Alexandra
Maria Lara) and children in danger and the desire to know more, Froment brings
the documents to the French government. Soon, the flow of information reaches
the White House and brings the Soviet regime to the tipping point of collapse,
forcing the KGB to escalate its search for the leak, and placing the two men
and their families in extreme peril. Directed by Christian Carion, the Academy
Award nominated filmmaker of Joyeux Noel (Merry Christmas). Official

The most popular European film of 2009, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
is an award-winning mystery thriller based on Stieg Larsson's international
best-selling novel about a disgraced journalist and a troubled young female
computer hacker who investigate the mysterious disappearance of an industrialist's
niece. Forty years ago, Harriet Vanger disappeared from a family gathering
on the island owned and inhabited by the powerful Vanger clan. Her body was
never found, yet her uncle is convinced it was murder and that the killer
is a member of his own tightly knit but dysfunctional family. He employs disgraced
financial journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Michael Nyqvist) and the tattooed, ruthless
computer hacker Lisbeth Salander (Noomi Rapace) to investigate. When the pair
link Harriet's disappearance to a number of grotesque murders from almost
forty years ago, they begin to unravel a dark and appalling family history.
But the Vangers are a secretive clan, and Blomkvist and Salander are about
to find out just how far they are prepared to go to protect themselves. Official

Banksy is a graffiti artist with a global reputation whose work can be seen on walls from post-hurricane New Orleans to the Palestinian segregation wall in the West Bank. Fiercely guarding his anonymity to avoid prosecution Banksy has so far resisted all attempts to be captured on film. Exit Through the Gift Shop is the story of how an eccentric French shop keeper and amateur film maker attempted to locate and befriend Banksy, only to have the artist turn the camera back on its owner with spectacular results. Billed as "the world's first street art disaster movie," the film contains exclusive footage of Banksy, Shephard Fairey, Invader and many of the world's most infamous graffiti artists at work.

| All About Evil is the feature film debut of writer/director Joshua Grannell (better known as midnight movie impresario Peaches Christ). The comic thriller tells the wickedly delirious tale of Deborah Tennis (Natasha Lyonne), a mousy librarian who inherits her father's beloved but old movie house in San Francisco. In order to save the family business, she discovers her inner serial killer and starts turning out a series of grisly short films. Quickly cultivating a rabid legion of gore fans, Deborah makes it a "family" affair by recruiting a nefarious crew to execute her devious plan: the loyal Mr. Twigs (Jack Donner), psychotic twins Veda and Vera (Jade and Nikita Ramsey) and hygienically challenged Adrian (Noah Segan). Her biggest fan, high school student Steven (Thomas Dekker of the recent box office hit A Nightmare on Elm Street), doesn't realize the murders in the movies are real. As Deborah's "actors" keep disappearing, will he catch the blame for the dastardly deeds of this fame obsessed auteur? Rounding out the cast is Cassandra Peterson, better known as Elvira, Mistress of the Dark and John Waters superstar Mink Stole (Pink Flamingos, Serial Mom). Official Web Site |

The First Lebanon War—June, 1982. A lone tank is dispatched to search a hostile town that has already been bombarded by the Israeli Air Force. What seems to be a simple mission gradually spins out of control. The four members of the tank crew are twenty-something boys who have never fought in a war and are now operating a killing machine. Trying to remain brave, the boys are pushed to their mental limits as they struggle to survive in a situation that they cannot contain. Motivated by fear and the basic instinct of survival, they desperately try not to lose their humanity in the chaos of war. Writer/director Samuel Maoz's raw and visceral film is based on his own experiences as a novice solider serving in the Israeli army during the Lebanon war. Using his own vivid recollections to bring us inside an Israeli tank during the first 24 hours of the invasion, Maoz restricts the film’s action entirely to the tank's interior and shows us the outside world—as the four young soldiers themselves see it—through the lens of a periscopic gunsight.

| A smash hit in the U.K., this "rom zom com" (romantic zombie comedy) follows the bloody funny adventures of underachiever Shaun (co-writer Simon Pegg) and his best mate Ed (Nick Frost) as they cope with a zombie invasion of North London. The two losers grab whatever is at hand (cricket bat, shovel, LP) to repel the attacking zombies, summoning reserves of strength they didn't know they possessed and straining muscles they forgot they had. Rounding up friends and family, and pressing on towards the sanctuary of a local pub, all that stands (or lopes) in their way are hordes of the flesh-eating undead. Official Web Site |

| In the Melbourne underworld, armed robber Pope Cody (Ben Mendelsohn) is in hiding, on the run from a gang of renegade detectives who want him dead. His business partner and best friend, Barry 'Baz' Brown (Joel Edgerton), wants out of the game, recognizing that their days of old-school banditry are all but over. Pope's younger brother, the speed-addicted and volatile Craig Cody (Sullivan Stapleton), is making a fortune in the illicit substances trade while the youngest Cody brother, Darren (Luke Ford), naively navigates his way through this criminal world—the only world his family has ever known. And into this world arrives their nephew, Joshua 'J' Cody (James Frecheville). Following the death of his mother, J finds himself living with his estranged family, under the watchful eye of his doting grandmother, Smurf (Jacki Weaver), mother to the Cody boys. When tensions between family and police reach a bloody peak, J finds himself at the center of a cold-blooded revenge plot that turns the family upside down. One senior cop, Nathan Leckie (Guy Pearce), must lure J into the police fold and then shepherd him through a complex minefield of witness protection, corrupt cops, slippery lawyers and a paranoid and vengeful underworld. Directed by David Michôd. Official Web Site |
