SUMMARY:International Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, 18 August \n10.00am – Berlin Hero (Comedy – 1 hr 54 min) \nAll his life\, Michael Hartung\, owner of a hopelessly debt-ridden video store\, has bet on the wrong horse. When an ambitious journalist confronts him with the results of his research\, everything changes for the charmingly melancholy Micha. Many years ago\, as an employee of the Reichsbahn\, he is said to have organized the largest mass escape in the GDR. Stasi files prove the case. He was apparently even imprisoned and then deported to an open-cast lignite mine. Seduced by a lavish salary\, Micha confirms the story\, although only fragments of it are true. \n6.45pm – Case 137 (Crime – 1 hr 56 min) \nStéphanie (Léa Drucker)\, an investigator at the French National Police General Inspectorate (IGPN)\, is assigned Case 137\, involving Guillaume Girard (Côme Péronnet)\, a young man left in a critical condition after being struck by a rubber bullet during a tense demonstration in Paris. At first\, nothing points to clear police misconduct — until Stéphanie discovers that the victim is from her own hometown\, Saint-Dizier\, turning the case into something far more personal. As she digs deeper\, reviewing surveillance footage\, retracing movements\, and interviewing officers\, Stéphanie confronts the ‘blue wall of silence’ that shields the institution. The few who might talk\, hesitate; those who know more\, refuse to. Her only support comes from Alicia Mady (Guslagie Malanda)\, a chambermaid and reluctant witness whose testimony could unlock the truth — but puts them both at risk of retaliation. Torn between loyalty and justice\, Stéphanie finds herself increasingly isolated within a system determined to protect its own. Set against the backdrop of the gilets jaunes protests\, Case 137 is a gripping\, socially-charged thriller from Dominik Moll\, selected for official competition at the Cannes International Film Festival 2025.

SUMMARY:International Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, 16 August \n10.00am – My Friend Eva (Romance – 1 hr 40 min – Spain) \nEva has just turned 50. She’s been married for over 20 years and has two\, teenage children. So far\, nothing remarkable. But on a business trip to Rome something happens that turns her life upside down. She meets Alex\, a scriptwriter who’s spending a few days in the Italian city. The instant attraction she feels for him\, the butterflies in her tummy\, the seductive hint of possibility… After all this time\, she remembers what it feels like to fall in love and it shifts something inside of her. It reignites a fire that had long been extinguished. \n12.35pm – Colours of Time (Comedy – 2 hr 4 min) \nDirected by Cedric Klapisch\, this sweeping French drama brings together family mystery\, historical texture and artistic curiosity in a story that moves between contemporary Normandy and the final years of the 19th century. When four estranged cousins inherit a long-abandoned house\, their investigation into its past gradually reveals the life of a young ancestor and opens a wider reflection on memory\, kinship and the way personal histories continue to shape the present. What gives the film its distinctive appeal is the way it combines intimate emotion with a broader cultural backdrop. By linking the story to the emergence of photography and the Impressionist moment in Paris\, it creates a visually rich setting that feels both historically detailed and emotionally immediate. Klapisch’s humanistic style helps the material remain warm and accessible\, while the ensemble cast\, including Suzanne Lindon\, Abraham Wapler\, Vincent Macaigne\, Julia Piaton\, Paul Kircher and Cecile de France\, adds depth and strong cross-generational appeal. Presented Out of Competition at Cannes in 2025\, it arrives with clear prestige and strong appeal for patrons interested in French cinema\, family storytelling and elegant period-inflected drama.

SUMMARY:International Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, 8 August \n10.00am – Berlin Hero (Comedy – 1 hr 54 min) \nAll his life\, Michael Hartung\, owner of a hopelessly debt-ridden video store\, has bet on the wrong horse. When an ambitious journalist confronts him with the results of his research\, everything changes for the charmingly melancholy Micha. Many years ago\, as an employee of the Reichsbahn\, he is said to have organized the largest mass escape in the GDR. Stasi files prove the case. He was apparently even imprisoned and then deported to an open-cast lignite mine. Seduced by a lavish salary\, Micha confirms the story\, although only fragments of it are true. \n4.15pm – Case 137 (Crime – 1 hr 56 min) \nStéphanie (Léa Drucker)\, an investigator at the French National Police General Inspectorate (IGPN)\, is assigned Case 137\, involving Guillaume Girard (Côme Péronnet)\, a young man left in a critical condition after being struck by a rubber bullet during a tense demonstration in Paris. At first\, nothing points to clear police misconduct — until Stéphanie discovers that the victim is from her own hometown\, Saint-Dizier\, turning the case into something far more personal. As she digs deeper\, reviewing surveillance footage\, retracing movements\, and interviewing officers\, Stéphanie confronts the ‘blue wall of silence’ that shields the institution. The few who might talk\, hesitate; those who know more\, refuse to. Her only support comes from Alicia Mady (Guslagie Malanda)\, a chambermaid and reluctant witness whose testimony could unlock the truth — but puts them both at risk of retaliation. Torn between loyalty and justice\, Stéphanie finds herself increasingly isolated within a system determined to protect its own. Set against the backdrop of the gilets jaunes protests\, Case 137 is a gripping\, socially-charged thriller from Dominik Moll\, selected for official competition at the Cannes International Film Festival 2025. \n7.00pm – Arru (Drama – 1 hr 35 min – Norway) \nSámi reindeer herder Maia fights to protect her ancestral lands from a looming mining project. Amid the growing protests\, she is also confronted with deeply buried family traumas. Maia is forced to make a decision. \n

SUMMARY:International Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, 7 August \n4.30pm – Ride Away (Comedy – 1 hr 28 min – France) \nFrom the Atlantic to the Black Sea\, Mathias and Philippe\, two old friends\, embark on a bicycle journey that Mathias’s son made before his tragic death. The two men ride through the ordeals with tenderness\, humor and emotion. \n6.45pm – Colours of Time (Comedy – 2 hr 4 min) \nDirected by Cedric Klapisch\, this sweeping French drama brings together family mystery\, historical texture and artistic curiosity in a story that moves between contemporary Normandy and the final years of the 19th century. When four estranged cousins inherit a long-abandoned house\, their investigation into its past gradually reveals the life of a young ancestor and opens a wider reflection on memory\, kinship and the way personal histories continue to shape the present. What gives the film its distinctive appeal is the way it combines intimate emotion with a broader cultural backdrop. By linking the story to the emergence of photography and the Impressionist moment in Paris\, it creates a visually rich setting that feels both historically detailed and emotionally immediate. Klapisch’s humanistic style helps the material remain warm and accessible\, while the ensemble cast\, including Suzanne Lindon\, Abraham Wapler\, Vincent Macaigne\, Julia Piaton\, Paul Kircher and Cecile de France\, adds depth and strong cross-generational appeal. Presented Out of Competition at Cannes in 2025\, it arrives with clear prestige and strong appeal for patrons interested in French cinema\, family storytelling and elegant period-inflected drama. \n
