LASTING<br />
NIEULOTNE<br />
Michał and Karina fall head over heels in love during<br />
their summer holiday in Spain. Under the warm<br />
sun-soaked vineyards in the ecstasy of their thrilling<br />
new romance, everything feels carefree and innocent.<br />
But when Michał (Jakub Gierszał) has a threatening<br />
encounter with an unsavoury property owner<br />
while scuba diving, an impulsive act leads to a<br />
devastating turn.<br />
Michał covers up what happened and suddenly<br />
returns to Poland without telling Karina (Magdalena<br />
Berus) the truth. Soon Karina also has something<br />
she keeps from Michał. With their secrets looming<br />
over them, their once-unbridled affection begins<br />
slipping through their hands, and their bright,<br />
innocent faces turn dark with worry.<br />
Mon 17 Feb / Light House 2 / 9pm / 93 minutes<br />
Writer-director: Jacek Borcuch 2012 Poland/Spain<br />
Cast: Jakub Gierszał, Magdalena Berus, Ángela Molina<br />
Winner, Cinematography Award, Sundance Film Festival<br />
With the support of the Embassy of Poland<br />
With an immersive touch, Jacek Borcuch (All That<br />
I Love, JDIFF 2010) effortlessly captures the couple’s<br />
youthful spirit and rapture, amplifying the weight of<br />
the emotionally sobering drama that ensues. Lasting<br />
is an exploration of that rare species of love that can<br />
endure life’s pitfalls, and a terrifying reminder that one<br />
fateful minute can upend everything.<br />
Sundance Film Festival<br />

THE LAST DAYS ON MARS<br />
The Last Days on Mars is a new science fiction thriller<br />
and the debut feature film of Irish director Ruairí<br />
Robinson, whose animated short Fifty Percent Grey<br />
was nominated for an Academy Award® in 2002.<br />
Liev Schreiber, Romola Garai and Olivia Williams, in a<br />
scene-stealing supporting role, are crewmembers on<br />
the first manned mission to Mars, which was all going<br />
according to plan until the final day, when an exciting<br />
discovery is made a few miles from the base camp.<br />
A science officer goes missing while attempting to<br />
collect what appears to be evidence of Martian life<br />
and the crew’s hopes of a safe home journey to Earth<br />
are dashed.<br />
‘an atmospheric chiller’ The Hollywood Reporter<br />
Mon 17 Feb / Cineworld 8 / 9pm / 98 minutes<br />
Director: Ruairí Robinson 2013 Ireland/UK<br />
Writer: Clive Dawson<br />
Cast: Liev Schreiber, Romola Garai, Olivia Williams<br />
Reminiscent of Duncan Jones’ recent contribution<br />
Moon and bowing its head to seminal works of the<br />
genre, Alien and 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Last<br />
Days on Mars is both a moody and stylish exploration<br />
of group psychology in space, and a tense and<br />
poundingly violent account of the battle to remain<br />
alive on our mysterious neighbouring planet.<br />
