7 -12 Noel St. 4th Fl., London, W1F 8GQ, <strong>UK</strong><br />

Synopsis: Loosely adapted from Alan Clarke's 1989 classic TV film, Nick Love's film is set earlier in the 80's and retells a similar story to<br />

the original -but from a different character's point of view. The film centres on Dom, a young wannabe football casual, who gets<br />

drawn into the charismatic but dangerous world of the firm's top boy, Bex. Accepted <strong>for</strong> his fast mouth and sense of humour,<br />

Dom soon becomes one the boys. But as Bex and his ICF gang clash with rival firms across the country and the violence spirals<br />

out of control, Dom realises he wants out -until he learns it's not that easy to simply walk away. Humorous, heart-warming and<br />

set to a killer jazz funk '80s soundtrack, THE FIRM is a classic coming of age story set amongst one of England's most revered<br />

tribes.<br />

60 Browning Ave., Toronto, M4K 1V9, Canada<br />

Synopsis: Two strangers, Lucas and Cleo, meet on the internet. Over time, they <strong>for</strong>m a 'special pack', agreeing to meet at an English<br />

seaside village and carry out an horrific deed. On the way to the rendevous, each meets a variety of strangers affecting what is<br />

to transpire at the conclusion of the story. Andre Gide once said: "The wise man is astonished by everything." Folie A Deux is<br />

ultimately about just that: everything that can pass between two people, especially in what is not said; astonishment at being in<br />

the world at all; and the circumstances of our inevitable leaving of it.<br />
