Full programme:
FRI 11 FEB: THE HUMANS
“Erik Blake has gathered three generations of his Pennsylvania family to celebrate Thanksgiving at his daughter’s apartment in lower Manhattan. As darkness falls outside and eerie things start to go bump in the night, the group’s deepest fears are laid bare. The piercingly funny and haunting debut film from writer-director Stephen Karam, adapted from his Tony Award-winning play, The Humans explores the hidden dread of a family and the love that binds them together.”
SAT 12 FEB: PLAYLIST
“Sophie is a graphic artist trying to make ends meet in Paris. She just missed out on art school, so has decided to try to create her own career. To pay her way, she takes a job as a waitress and shares a flat with a student. She hangs out regularly with Julia, her fun-loving friend, and drifts between a number of lovers. But Sophie is looking for something else – a balance between life and love. And work. It’s a witty examination of starting out in the world, defining who you are and, most importantly, what you want to be.”
SUN 13 FEB: NINJABABY
“Rakel lives life to the full. An avid beer drinker and regular party animal, she is less interested in a relationship than the odd enjoyable pickup; one of whom happens to be aikido instructor Mos. Weeks after a fun night together, Rakel’s friends notice her appetite has increased. As have the size of her breasts. And then there’s the noticeable change around her waist. It soon becomes clear that the precautions she and Mos took might not have been enough.”
