Divine G, imprisoned at Sing Sing for a crime he didn't commit, finds purpose by acting in a theatre group alongside other incarcerated men in this story of resilience, humanity, and the transformative power of art.
This meditative, experimental Irish documentary follows the multidisciplinary artist and shepherd Orla Barry as she reflects on the influence her farming life has had on her art.
Orla Barry is a hard-working, lipstick-wearing sheep farmer in rural Wexford. She is also a visual artist, renowned for her video and sound art. She strides confidently from art seminars to the Tullamore Show, lambing in April and shearing in June, working tirelessly to make a living from eco-farming in the face of global demand for faster, cheaper meats and wools. But while tied to the demands of the ovine calendar she must make time to let her creativity flow.
Cara Holmes’s delightful feature debut is filled with wit and whimsy, with lush landscapes, surprising choral interventions, Barry’s art, and soothing images of handsome sheep. It is a joyous portrait of one artist by another and a celebration of feminism, independence, and a love of the environment.

The story of American photographer Elizabeth Lee Miller (Kate Winslet), a fashion model who became an acclaimed war correspondent for Vogue magazine during World War II. Miller worked with American photojournalist David E Scherman and took many of the most famous images of World War II, present at the battle of St Malo (when napalm bombs were first used), the liberation of Paris, the Battle of Alsace and the US army’s entry to Nazi concentration camps, Buchenwald and Dachau. Her photographs of the latter acted as cold, hard evidence to disbelieving American and British audiences. The American edition of Vogue, June 1945 printed Miller’s photos of emaciated corpses with the message: “Believe It”. She was also a model, famously gracing the cover of Vogue in an Art Deco-style illustration by George Lepape.
