Why watch this film?
A period biographical drama inspired by the life of Clarice Cliff, a woman who revolutionized the ceramics industry in 1920s Great Britain and, in the process, became a feminist icon. 'The Colour Room' tells the story of the protagonist (played by Phoebe Dynevor of 'Bridgerton' in her first film), from when she started as a factory worker to when she broke through the glass ceiling with her artistic vision for ceramics. It's a conventional drama and in some moments its television-crafted manufacture is evident, but Dynevor's performance, alongside her co-stars Matthew Goode ('The Last Night') and David Morrissey ('My Name is John Lennon'), lift it up, making it an enjoyable and inspiring movie.

Ophelia
Simplifying, 'Ophelia' is a retelling of Shakespeare's classic 'Hamlet', told from the perspective of the titular character, with a screenplay by acclaimed Emmy-nominated Semi Chellas ('Mad Men') and direction by Claire McCarthy ('The Luminaries'). Featuring a star-studded cast led by Daisy Ridley ('Star Wars: The Force Awakens'), Naomi Watts ('The Impossible'), Clive Owen ('Children of Men'), George MacKay ('The True History of Ned Kelly') and Tom Felton ('Harry Potter'), it's a movie with some plot flaws but whose feminist-lensed approach is fascinating and gives more depth to a classic character that otherwise would usually be nothing more than an accessory.
Drama
Kidnapped
In Kidnapped (Rapito), Italian filmmaker Marco Bellocchio delves into one of the murkiest and most controversial episodes in the history of the Catholic Church, the "Mortara case". In 1851, when Jewish boy Edgardo Mortara becomes gravely ill, his Catholic nanny decides to baptize him in an emergency. However, papal law dictates that all Catholics must be raised as such, so the cardinal orders the boy to be taken and handed over to the church, against his parents' wishes, who decide to fight for him. The film recounts a controversial case that captured the attention of the rest of Europe and America, and skillfully portrays the clash of interests between the waning power of the church, Mortara's parents, and public opinion, with irreversible consequences for all involved.
Green Border
'Green Border' - In the treacherous and swampy forests that make up the so called “green border” between Belarus and Poland, refugees from the Middle East and Africa trying to reach the European Union are trapped in a geopolitical crisis cynically engineered by Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko. In an attempt to provoke Europe, refugees are lured to the border by propaganda promising easy passage to the EU. Pawns in this hidden war, the lives of Julia, a newly minted activist who has given up her comfortable life, Jan, a young border guard, and a Syrian family intertwine.
Astral City 2: The Messengers
