Famous for its beautiful and much-loved Heath – a piece of quiet countryside in a vast metropolis. Living on the edge of the Heath is American widow, Emily Walters (Diane Keaton), who can’t quite focus on the things that need attention, like her lovely old apartment, her finances and even her son. Despite encouragement from her close friend Fiona, she doesn’t want to admit that she’s drifting through life without much thought to her future. One day while looking out across the Heath from her attic window, Emily spies a ramshackle hut, which appears to be inhabited by an unkempt man. She witnesses him being attacked by a group of professional thugs. Shocked, she calls the police and watches, through her binoculars, as help arrives. The next day she ventures in search of the man. Donald Horner (Brendan Gleeson) has lived quietly and harmoniously on the edge of the Heath for 17 years but now his lifestyle is under threat - his home is the target of property developers who’ve started using heavy-handed tactics to remove him. When Emily introduces herself, he is naturally suspicious and politely thanks her but rebuffs her attention. Despite his gruff exterior, there is something gentle and alluring about Donald and when Emily discovers that Fiona is leading a community initiative in support of the developers, she bravely steps up to take Donald’s side in the escalating battle, determined to defend the emotional and physical livelihood of this quiet but unusual man - who has grown to trust her and who - despite his situation, just might be the man to sweep her off her feet. Inspired by a true story, Hampstead is a charming and funny life-affirming tale about how love can be found in the most unexpected places and proves once and for all that age is no barrier to second chances.

St. John Greene (‘Singe’) never planned to write a book, let alone one like MUM’S LIST. An adventure-loving outdoor sports trainer, he met his future wife, Kate, when they were both teenagers, and they’d been together for more than twenty blissful years. Their perfect world crumbled when their first son Reef, was given a terrifying cancer diagnosis at just eighteen months old. With only a 6% chance of survival, doctors gave him mere days to live. Miraculously, Reef pulled through (and remains healthy to this day). But then, just as things were getting back to normal, Kate was diagnosed with an incurable breast cancer. For Kate, nothing was as important as the happiness and well-being of her family. With Singe she spent hours talking and crying about her hopes and dreams for her family—ones she would now never see realised. Over her last few days she created ‘Mum’s List’, writing her thoughts and wishes and memories down, to help the man she loved create the best life possible for their sons after she was gone. Written on scraps of paper or sent as text messages, day and night, the list captured her passionate nature, her free spirit, her sense of humour, and her undying love for her family. Some entries were instructions…some, observations…others, memories to be kept alive forever. All of them, a memorial to the woman being forced to say goodbye.

Cannes Marché 2017: UK Films for Sale 42 Tokyo Idols TEyesteelfilm Genre: Documentary Damien Detcheberry +1 514 424 6520 Director: Kyoko Miyake [email protected] Status: Completed Home Office tel: +1 514 937 4893 Synopsis: Walking down the streets of Tokyo, it is difficult to escape the ‘idol’ girls - Japanese pop singers; they are everywhere, smiling from advertisements and the sound of their voice coming from nearby speakers. ‘Idols’, a term assigned to them regardless of actual success, have flourished as an industry despite the prolonged recession, becoming a mainstream phenomenon worth 1 billion dollars. Every night there are countless idol concerts across Tokyo. Most fans gathered at those small venues are middle-aged men, some lonely singletons and others, married. Everything about the idols – their high-pitched voice, coquettish dance steps, repeated bowing - is part of the same ritual. Tokyo Idols is a story of girls trying to grow up in a society where they need to embody innocence, cuteness and immaturity. It’s also about their fans, who, becoming increasingly disconnected from real women and real relationships, rely more on ritualized interactions with figures of idealised youth.

Tommy's Honour TTimeless Films Cast: Peter Mullan, Jack Lowden, Ophelia Lovibond, Sam Neill Rebecca Kamp +44 7760 786 625 Genre: Drama [email protected] Director: Jason Connery Market Office: Motor Yacht Bettina, Jetee Status: Completed Albert Edouard Home Office tel: +44 7760 786 625 Synopsis: In every generation, a torch passes from father to son. And that timeless dynamic is the beating heart of Tommy's Honour – an intimate, powerfully moving tale of the real-life founders of the modern game of golf. Set in St. Andrews, Scotland during the hidebound Victorian era, the story opens in 1866 as 15-year-old Tommy Morris (Jack Lowden) heads to the links with his father, Tom Morris (Peter Mullan). Already a legend, “Old Tom” is greens-keeper for the Royal & Ancient golf club, where he established the standard of 18 holes per round; as well as the town’s club- and ball-maker; and thrice winner of the first major golf tournament, the Open Championship – which he founded in 1860. Tom Morris has secured his place in the history of the ancient game. But Tommy will soon outshine him, retiring the Open’s prize Championship Belt while still in his teens (by winning it three times in a row), and, as the “dashing young man of golf,” drawing flocks of spectators to the sport and becoming its first touring pro. Despite their shared passion, father and son repeatedly clash over the unwritten rules of social class, culminating in Tommy’s marriage to a woman of lower standing with a shameful secret in her past. Tommy’s beloved wife Meg (Ophelia Lovibond) figures in this true story’s climax, as Tom makes a fatal misjudgement that strips Tommy of everything he holds dear. From the ashes of that fateful choice, Old Tom rises to a mission that carries him through the final decades of his life: Honouring Tommy.

Du Grand Hotel Status: Production Home Office tel: +44 20 7478 7612 Synopsis: With over 200 million album sales worldwide, and remaining the only artist to chart seven consecutive US No. 1’s, Whitney Houston was the voice of a generation. Coming from an esteemed lineage of singers, Whitney was destined to be plucked from her gospel- singing roots to rule the world stage. She inspired a generation of singers from to Beyoncé and her unforgettable performance of The Star-Spangled Banner unlocked an anthem that had for so long been dismissed by many black artists. But all these achievements have become a footnote to a story of addiction and self-destruction. With salacious stories filling the columns of tabloid papers and magazines, Whitney had the voice of an angel onstage, but was being torn apart by her demons offstage. Directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Kevin Macdonald (Marley, Touching the Void) and from two-time Academy Award- winning producer Simon Chinn (Man on Wire, Searching for Sugar Man), the film will for the first time, give audiences an unprecedented and unique look into Whitney’s life. This will be an unflinching and honest portrait of a rare talent told by those closest to her. Made with full access to her family and collaborators, the film will showcase exclusive audio and never-before-seen video archive from her time as a recording artist and performer. By casting her story and her work in a new and revealing light, WHITNEY HOUSTON will reassess the life and legacy of one of music’s biggest stars.
