March 11: "Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool". Certificate 15. Running time 105 minutes. Biography / drama / romance. English. In 1979, a young Liverpudlian is blown away when a Hollywood starlet of 30 years ago moves in next door to him. They hit it off instantly. The stars of the film flesh out their deep characters and make their whirlwind romance and subsequent low points all the more real.

April 8: "Under the Tree". Certificate 15. Running time 89 minutes. Comedy / drama. Icelandic. The film escalates the issue of one neighbour's tree casting shade on the porch of the other, far beyond common sense, civility and the law until the wacky conclusions. Complex characters are built and broken by life's more significant twists and turns. Societal angst in a fun and engaging way.

May 13: "The Rider". Certificate 15. Running time 105 minutes. Drama. English. The film's director met a horse trainer and heard his story while researching a project on a ranch in South Dakota. A former rodeo rider and local hero, the young man could provide for his family until he was thrown from his horse and kicked in the head. This became the hard-hitting tale of self realisation on screen.
