19 Heddon St., London, W1B 4BG, <strong>UK</strong><br />

Synopsis: The Dirty Dozen' meets 'Tigerland' in AGE OF HEROES - an action-packed adrenalin shot based on the true story of the<br />

<strong>for</strong>mation of James Bond creator Ian Fleming's 30 Commando, one of the most respected, secretive and exclusive special<br />

<strong>for</strong>ces regiments <strong>for</strong>med during the Second World War, from which the now legendary SAS was born. Ambushed deep behind<br />

enemy lines in WW2, the young British corporal Rains (DANNY DYER) fearlessly leads his men out of danger. But his rogue<br />

attitude costs him, and he's sent to an allied military prison <strong>for</strong> insubordination. When the highly esteemed Captain Jones (SEAN<br />

BEAN) shows up, Rains's bravado and raw display of fighting skills impress Jones enough to recruit him <strong>for</strong> his 'Commando'<br />

unit. After weeks of mentally intense and physically grueling training ops where Jones tests his men to their breaking point, they<br />

are quickly assigned their first mission; to parachute into occupied Norway and capture a deadly new radar technology from the<br />

Germans. But as they get near the drop-zone, the newly <strong>for</strong>med band of brothers, joined by 'Norwegian yank' Steiner and<br />

beautiful blonde spy Jensen, find themselves in the midst of a fierce dogfight, be<strong>for</strong>e crash landing in a Norwegian village where<br />

Nazis have been mercilessly executing civilians. In a bloody battle in the mountains of Norway, outnumbered by an enemy as<br />

ruthless as it is clinical, the soldiers soon realize it's do-or-die time. And by pushing their innate skills and hardcore training to the<br />

nth degree, we see that this is no time <strong>for</strong> ordinary soldiers!This is the AGE OF HEROES.<br />

Trappelgasse 4/17, Vienna, 1040, Austria<br />

Synopsis: Three years in the making, AMERICAN: THE BILL HICKS STORY brings the tale of one of modern culture‟s most iconic heroes<br />

to the big screen. Much more than a comedian, Bill Hicks was and still is an inspiration to millions. His timeless comedy tackled<br />

the contradictions of America and modern life head on. But his unique gift was to tease apart the essence of religion, the<br />

dangers of unbridled government power and the double standards inherent in much of modern society, using nothing but his<br />

hilarious ideas and the uncompromising observational style that continues to resonate with successive generations. Like many<br />

who have a strong sense of their place in history, Hicks left a large unseen legacy; his collection of video recordings and<br />

hundreds of photographs and these became the starting point <strong>for</strong> this feature-length animated documentary.<br />
