Then he learns from a TV news report that Danish prisoners have it way better than he does: a job, accessible healthcare, the quiet of the countryside, even an HDTV.

Following their investigations the film includes field recordings and footage and borrows from 'actual' local folklore relating to 'boggarts', 'bugs' and other entities.

Grace Jones: Bloodlight And Bami TWestEnd Films Cast: Grace Jones, Jean-Paul Goude, Sly And Robbie Anil Ravdjee +33 4 93 68 73 76 Genre: Documentary [email protected] Director: Sophie Fiennes Market Office: Res. Du Gray D'Albion, Entr. C, Status: Completed 28 Rue Serbes Home Office tel: +44 20 7494 8300 Synopsis: Larger than life, wild, scary and androgynous – Grace Jones plays all these parts. Yet here we also discover her as a lover, daughter, mother, sister and even grandmother, as she submits herself to our gaze and allows us to understand what constitutes her mask. The stage is where her most extreme embodiments are realised and her theatrical imagination lets loose: this is where the musical of her life is played out. The film includes Grace's unique performances singing iconic hits such as Slave To The Rhythm, Pull Up To The Bumper, as well as the more recent autobiographical tracks Williams' Bloods and Hurricane. These personal songs also link to Grace’s family life, as the film takes us on a holiday road trip across Jamaica, where her family roots and the story of her traumatic childhood are uncovered. In Jamaican patois, ‘Bloodlight’ is the red light that illuminates when an artist is recording and ‘Bami’ means bread, the substance of daily life. Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami weaves together the layers of Grace Jones’ public and private life, as she moves effortlessly between different facets: she is bohemian traveller, artist and partying hedonist, warm and funny but also a fierce and tenacious businesswoman. The performance continues to move thematically though the film, with Love Is The Drug acting like an aria, bringing the film to its final and most touching scenes. This is a Grace we have not seen before, someone who reminds us of what it is to dare to be truly alive.

Du Grand Hotel -Goeland, Director: David Blair 6fl Status: Production Home Office tel: +44 20 3397 4410 Synopsis: The story of the Polish fliers who found themselves fighting for the freedom of their own country in foreign skies. Seen through the eyes of Jan Zumbach, fighter ace and adventurer, it tells how the Poles, driven across Europe by the German war machine, finally made their last stand. Flying Hurricanes for the RAF over Britain, they became a key component in the legend of ‘The Few’. Up against the might of the Luftwaffe they hoped that, by saving Great Britain from Nazi invasion, they were keeping the dream of a free Poland alive. In the lethal melee above England in that summer of 1940, they fought with a tenacity and skill that earned them the admiration of the whole British nation. The dogfights against superior planes cost some of the men their lives. The constant strain of gladiatorial combat took away the sanity of others. But, as Zumbach discovers as the war stutters to a close, becoming the best in the RAF is a hollow victory for the Poles. Hurricane shows how, even in a man’s finest hour, cynical political manoeuvrings can destroy his hopes, strip away his dignity and lead him to a very dark place indeed.

Toxic yet charming; rebellious yet elitist; emotionally aloof yet spectacularly needy; ferociously ambitious yet bent on self-destruction, this is a man forever on the run: from his father's ghost, his country, and even his own self. Above all, an artist and an athlete whose body time and time again –sometimes against his will– becomes a political battlefield.

Banksy and his team enter the occupied territories of Jerusalem and start to leave their signature artwork across the West Bank walls. The anonymous, pacifist street artist and the country scarred by war on a constant search for consensus and solidarity: it should have been love at first sight. But something went wrong. Among the artworks Banksy and his team left in the streets of Bethlehem, one in particular, the mural of an Israeli soldier asking a donkey for its papers incites fury: it’s one thing to enter the territory and start working without even introducing yourself to the community, but it’s quite another to depict them as asses for all the world to see. Local taxi driver Walid steps in and with the support of the community and a waterjet stone cutter cuts out the offending wall. His declared aim: to put it on Ebay and sell it to the highest bidder. We follow the journey of that big piece of concrete from the dusty streets of Bethlehem, across the ocean, to posh western auction houses, where it is put on sale to private collectors. In a sense, that wall is our central character and through it we discover a much larger story, that of a secret art market of walls, stolen from around the world.

It’s for the excitement and the goosebumps. I want heart attacks. I want ambulances.” ‘Lee’ Alexander McQueen’s rags-to-riches story is a modern-day fairy tale laced with the gothic. An unremarkable working-class boy from East London, he harnessed his demons and went on to become a global one man fashion brand and one of the most iconic artists of the century. How did this punk rebel overturn the silver-spoon world of Paris haute couture, ushering in the heady, revolutionary era of ‘Cool Britannia’? And why, at the height of acclaim and power, did he shockingly put an end to it all? Mirroring the savage beauty, boldness and vivacity of his design, this film is an intimate revelation of McQueen’s own world, both tortured and inspired, which celebrates a radical and mesmerising genius of profound influence.

Minute Bodies: The Intimate World Of F. Percy Smith TBFI Sales - British Film Inst. Genre: Documentary Violette Martin +44 7776 243 811 Director: Stuart A. Staples [email protected] Status: Completed Market Office: Riviera H6 Home Office tel: +44 20 7957 8905 Synopsis: This meditative, immersive film is a tribute to the astonishing work and achievements of naturalist, inventor and pioneering filmmaker F. Percy Smith. Smith worked in the early years of the 20th century, developing various cinematographic and micro-photographic techniques to capture nature's secrets in action. Working in a number of public roles, including the Royal Navy and British Instructional Films, Smith was prolific and driven, often directing several films simultaneously, apparently on a mission to explore and capture nature's hidden terrains. Minute Bodies is an interpretative edit that combines Smith's original footage with a new contemporary score by tindersticks to create a hypnotic, alien yet familiar dreamscape that connects us to the sense of wonder Smith must have felt as he peered through his own lenses and seen these micro-worlds for the first time.

Whitney TAltitude Film Sales Genre: Documentary Charlie Kemball +33 4 89 68 50 15 Director: Kevin Macdonald [email protected] Status: Completed Market Office: 9 Rue Des Etats Unis, 2fl 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 Mariah Carey 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 will reassess the life and legacy of one of music’s biggest stars.

Hadrian’s Wall is the last outpost of the Roman frontier and a small group of male and female soldiers have left the safety of it to travel North, into Pict territory, searching for four missing men. As winter threatens and no sign of the men, the group prepare to turn home, when they encounter a beast that is hunting them. With their lives in danger the Romans must either face the beast or turn and run. But can the hunted become the hunters, or will snow and fatigue plague their journey home? The leader of the Romans admits to knowing there was a sickness that plagued the Pict lands and that the missing men, may well be the very beasts hunting them.

If it is the sickness, their journey home has just got a lot more difficult... "Wolf" is a fast paced action thriller, where no man or woman can be trusted and the beast that hunts them, will not stop until it is dead. Or you are.

Yellow Fever TWham Bam Productions Cast: Jenna Ushkowitz, Scott Patterson, Nahanni Johnstone, Jan Daube Michael Lowry, Matthew Miniero Genre: Comedy Home Office tel: +44 7890 487 446 Director: Kat Moon Status: Completed Synopsis: Asia Bradford (GLEE’s Jenna Ushkowitz) was adopted from Korea by white people, so she doesn’t speak Korean. She apparently doesn’t speak New York either, because everyone seems to think she’s from somewhere else. “Stop asking me where I'm from! I get it .. I’m Yellow!” she angrily writes on her blog. It’s bad enough that everyone in New York seems to think she’s not American, but to top it all off, her “culturally sensitive,” whitebread parents decided to dress up in Korean hanboks for the annual Christmas card this year! No one gets her. So, where does she actually fit in if she feels like she doesn’t belong in her family, New York or her so-called “motherland?” Her salvation comes in an odd package - an "old ugly white dude," played by GILMORE GIRLS’ Scott Patterson, who's just moved back to New York after living in Korea for over a decade.
