As always the program is dynamic, with this year’s choices including five feature films from across the globe and one home grown documentary.
Movie lovers can choose from:
* The French/English/Portuguese feature, Samba, about a Senegalese migrant working as a dishwasher in a French hotel, who lands in a detention centre and is ordered to leave France due to a bureaucratic slip-up.
* Also on the menu is Mommy, winner of last year’s Cannes Film Festival Jury Prize, about a feisty widowed single mother burdened with the full-time custody of her rambunctious 15-year-old ADHD son.
* Then there is Leviathan, the stunning, Oscar-nominated Russian film, which is a gripping parable of class, faith and corruption.
* Another Russian/English treat is Love Is Strange, a beautiful and emotional story about many things ... but mainly explores what love is really about.
* Kumiko the Treasure Hunter is a powerfully affecting film about a young woman’s journey from Japan to Minnesota, in search of a mythic fortune. It is inspired by true events.
* And finally, a film that may change forever the way you think about ‘healthy foods’: That Sugar Film documents the experiment by Damon Gameau into the effects of a high sugar diet on a healthy body. The audience watch the effect on Gameau of consuming foods that are commonly perceived as ‘healthy’.
The festival is on until next Wednesday, May 27.
