30-year-old Ola lives in the small Norwegian village of Vidaråsen, where the 150 residents are a mix of people with and without disabilities. In the village the residents aim to live life at a slower pace and in harmony with nature. Their community is founded on empathy, respect, and mutual interdependence.
Ola, who has a mild learning disability, spends his days working in the workshop, pulling carrots from the ground and chatting for hours with his best friend, Lasse. He generally enjoys his life and is a witty and sincere individual who talks openly and honestly about his condition. Conversations and cordial friendships in the village are a highlight of Ola’s daily life, but in the background, there’s always the threat of Lasse moving back to Denmark…
Beloved by Norwegian audiences, Ragnhild Nøst Bergem’s life-affirming documentary is an honest and heartwarming portrait of a thoughtful and gracious man. Through Ola and his reflections, it tells a universal story of inclusion, diversity, independence and the importance of being exactly who you are.
Released by Oska Bright Film Festival.

George Orwell was one of the most visionary authors of the 20th Century, whose novels 1984 and Animal Farm foretold a chilling, all-to-believable authoritarian future. Acclaimed director Raoul Peck (Academy Award-nominated I Am Not Your Negro), working in collaboration with the Orwell Estate, seamlessly interweaves historical clips, readings from Orwell's diary, cinematic references, and dynamic modern day footage to craft not only a definitive portrait of the writer himself, but an entirely fresh take on how remarkably relevant and prophetic his work has become. Peck doesn't just present the information but shows new ways of seeing it, drawing patterns and connections we might not otherwise realize, championing Orwell as a man from the past who just might hold the key to the world's future.
“A chilling examination of how much the nightmare of 1984 has come true.” - INDIEWIRE
Bart Schrijver’s acclaimed drama follows former best friends and roommates Chris (Bart Harder) and Lluis (Carles Pulido), who meet up after a decade to hike Scotland’s West Highland Way and Cape Wrath Trail.
Shot entirely on the route of the walk, and in chronological order, The North is a beautiful ode to friendship and the healing power of nature. It’s not only a poignant and powerful drama, but also perhaps the definitive hiking film, allowing us to take in the stunning majesty of the Highlands shoulder-to-shoulder with Lluis and Chris as they reconnect with each other and with nature.
A happily engaged couple is put to the test when an unexpected turn sends their wedding week off the rails. The Drama is the new lovestory starring Zendaya, Robert Pattinson and Alana Haim.
Relive one of the most influential Sci-Fi stories ever told, 35 years after it introduced UK audiences to the cinematic spectacle and powerful stories of anime. Anime Limited are excited to announce that Katsuhiro Otomo’s landmark cyberpunk epic AKIRA is exploding back onto cinema screens.
Rebuilt from the ashes of World War III, Neo-Tokyo is a breathtaking, neon-lit metropolis where lawlessness and corruption run rampant.

When they crash into a secret government plot and Tetsuo is experimented on, the result is an explosive, mesmerising masterpiece of animation that would change cinema forever.
30 years ago, the Rose of Nevada was lost at sea with all hands. When it suddenly reappears in the harbour of a rundown Cornish fishing village, it feels like a sign: if the Rose sets sail again, perhaps the village’s luck will turn. Nick (George MacKay) takes a job aboard, joined by newly arrived drifter Liam (Callum Turner). The boat and its new voyage are symbols of hope, but when Nick and Liam return from the sea, something strange has happened – instead of moving into the future, they have re-entered the past.
Bait and Enys Men director Mark Jenkin’s time-travelling odyssey is a mysterious and unconventional story of identity, grief and the vagaries of time, of people who are attuned to the present and those who are fixed in the past. Like Bait, it’s shot in 16mm (though this time in bold colour) and delights in distinctive texture and composition, with painterly touches that make it feel like a found object, a film by and of Cornwall and the sea.
In a strikingly raw and intimate film, director Wes Orshoski captures the late singer riding an emotional rollercoaster toward the end of his life. Featuring appearances by James Hetfield(Metallica), Gene Simmons (Kiss) Maiden's Steve Harris and members of Exodus, Slayer, Megadeth, Overkill and Sepultura, the film chronicles how two Iron Maiden fans encounter Di'Anno at the lowest point of his life and then set out to restore his health and relaunch his career.
Wheelchair-bound since the mid-2010s, Di’Anno’s health nosedived during the Covid-19 pandemic, when those two fans launched a crowdfunding campaign which ultimately led to him relocating to Croatia, where - through the help of those fans and doctors - he made a dramatic turnaround while running out of money, reuniting with his former Maiden bandmates, and falling in love. Eventually he makes a heroic and drama-filled return to the stage. All of this is captured in Di'Anno: Iron Maiden's Lost Singer, which Orshoski began shooting in 2017. Orshoski finished work on the film (which was shot in England, Croatia, Brazil and the United States) shortly before Di’Anno’s death at 66 in October 2023.
