Persona will be accompanying Bergman Island – a rare opportunity to see the master’s classic psychological masterpiece. Famed stage stress Elisabeth suffers a moment of blankness during a performance and the next day lapses into total silence. She and a nurse recuperate by the sea.

Pickpocket, a story of crime and redemption from the French master Robert Bresson, follows Michel, a young pickpocket who spends his days working the streets, subway cars, and stations of Paris. Lancaster is the story of the iconic WW2 bomber told through the words of the last surviving crew members, re-mastered archive material and extraordinary aerial footage of the RAF’s last airworthy Lancaster. An epic and poignant story of courage, fear, friendship and the moral complexities of war.
