COMPLETED COP CAR A film by Jon Watts By the director of CLOWN With KEVIN BACON and SHEA WHINGHAM (The Wolf of Wall Street, American Hustle) A pair of ten-year-olds discover an abandoned cop car in a field. When they take it for a joyride they don’t know that a small town sheriff will soon be on their trail to recover his car — and what’s inside its trunk… The kids find themselves in the center of a deadly game of cat and mouse and the only way out is to go as fast as their stolen cop car can take them. PRODUCED BY AUDAX FILMS, PARK PICTURES (INFINITELY POLAR BEAR, ROBOT & FRANK) AND DARK ARTS FILMS USA | 2015 | 86 MIN | ENGLISH “A cult classic waiting to happen. Cop car is a damn awesome movie.” TWITCH “An Amblin movie by the way of the Coen Brothers. A midnight movie blast.” SLASHFILM “This film stands with the best of Americana independent genre films like Mud, Shotgun Stories, Badlands and Blue Ruin as well as the best of early Spielberg. An instant Americana genre film classic.” SOUND ON SIGHT “Kevin Bacon, sporting a creepy moustache, is great, and both boys give strong, naturalistic performances. Cop Car also marks Watts as a director to watch – he has a spare, intimate style that uses awkward angles to draw out discomfort.” THE GUARDIAN “The brisk 86 minutes fly by, keeping the story as lean and efficient as possible. The premise delivers on its entertaining potential with plenty of thrilling and often very funny surprises.” INDIEWIRE IN POST-PRODUCTION NEW ANNOUNCEMENTS NEW PROMO AVAILABLE THE PROPAGANDA GAME A documentary by Alvaro Longoria By the director of SONS OF THE CLOUDS By the editor of Oliver Stone’s THE UNTOLD HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES, COMANDANTE, ALEXANDRE By the cinematographer of 7 DAYS IN LA HAVANA, LA PLAGA North Korea. The last communist country in the world. Unknown, hermetic and fascinating. Formerly known as “The Hermit Kingdom” for its attempts to remain isolated, North Korea is one of the largest sources of instability as regards to world peace. It also has the most militarized border in the world, and the flow of impartial information, both going in and out, is practically non-existent. As the recent Sony-leaks has shown, it is the perfect setting for a propaganda war.

A night of pas- sion ensues. But what initially appears to be the start of a romance suddenly takes an unexpected and sinister turn when Clare wakes the following morning to discover Andi has left for work and locked her in his apartment. An easy mistake to make, of course, except Andi has no intention of letting her go again. Ever.

He’s trying to be a good father, a kind ex-husband, a nice colleague, an understanding sibling… But the planets have not been exactly aligned in his favor lately. With his son turning into a hardcore vegan, his daughter into a pathological overachiever and his sister selling oversized paintings of their naked parents, it seems to our ever-so prudent Philippe that everyone around him is starting to behave more and more erratically… When his colleague (who also accidentally tried to chop off his ear in a fit of misplaced anger) moves into Philippe’s apartment, things start to go from bad to insane for our hero.

In prison, his fellow inmates named him “The Cyclops” for his violent behaviour; he called himself Mohamed, in homage to the prophet. Not entirely prepared for his new freedom and under constant suspicion by the small town community, he finds solace working at a dog’s shelter. There, he meets Doris Lamb, a beautiful, broken woman who endures the same beatings as the dog her husband has brought in. Mo and Doris connect in their own dysfunctional way. One night, exhausted from her husband’s abuses, Doris seeks refuge at Mo’s place. Driven by the deep love that has developed between them, Mo decides he will stop at nothing to help Doris.
