Natural Selection

Linda White, a barren Christian housewife, leads a sheltered existence in suburban Texas. Her world is turned upside-down when she discovers that her dying husband, Abe, has a 23-year old illegitimate son named Raymond living in Florida. Somewhere on the edge of guilt and loneliness, Linda grants Abe's final wish and sets off on a quixotic journey to find Raymond and bring him back before her husband passes away. Along the way, Linda's wonderfully bizarre relationship with Raymond will teach her more about herself than she ever imagined possible and force her to come to terms with her troubled past.

A Thousand Kisses Deep

How well do you know yourself and those you love…
Returning home from work, Mia (Jodie Whittaker – Good, Venus, St. Trinian’s & St. Trinian’s 2: The Legend of Fritton’s Gold) witnesses an aged woman leap from a window. Scattered around the old woman’s broken, lifeless body Mia discovers shredded pieces from a beloved photograph of herself and her former lover Ludwig (Dougray Scott – Hitman, Enigma, Mission Impossible II).

Dark Horse

Abe is a 30-something who lives with his parents, works for his father, and collects toys. When he isn't playing backgammon with his mother, he's trying to romance Miranda, a 30-something who has moved back in with her parents after her literary/academic career crashed. Out of desperation, Miranda reluctantly agrees to marry Abe, and the two begin to plan their life together. But, just when it looks like things are starting to go right for Abe, everything goes horribly wrong.

Cheerful weather for the wedding

Today is Dolly's (Felicity Jones) wedding, and her family is arriving at the manor house with all the cheerfulness, chaos and petty grievances that bubble to the surface at such gatherings. However, when the time comes for the beautiful but secretive bride to make her grand entrance, the uninvited appearance of Dolly's lover from a previous summer, Joseph (Luke Treadaway), cuts short her desire to join in the festivities and embark on her new life with her new husband in South America.

In Memoriam

We are deeply saddened by the tragic news of the death of Tim Hetherington (pictured on the right with Sebastian Junger), award-winning film director and photo journalist, who was killed in Libya 20 April 2011. Our sincere condolences go out to his family and his friends.

Goldcrest Post introduce SplashLive Multiview 3D technology for Advertising

Post NY

While 3D technology has certainly wowed cinema-goers for decades, the potential for 3D has not easily translated beyond the big screen with its need for 3D glasses. Goldcrest has tackled this dilemma with SplashLive, a toolset they developed for creating and converting content to 3D without the need for glasses.
