CONTENT WARNING:

Marko is an apprentice working on a large agricultural complex in the Nuthe Urstrom valley district sixty kilometres south of Berlin. If he passes his final examinations he will be a fully-fledged farmer. That is, if he really wants to. But he’s not sure. He doesn’t have many friends outside the workplace and the eleven other apprentices see him as a rather uncommunicative guy and something of a loner. But when a new apprentice named Jacob joins them Marko slowly begins to come out of his shell.

This film is presented in German with English subtitles.

Winner of the Siegessaeule Readers Award at this year's Teddy Awards, Benjamin Cantu's film is a simple coming of age story done right. Harvest is one of those films that is a sweet, love story that avoid cliches and excessive drama. And it has two hot farm hands! What more could you want? If you loved Beautiful Thing then you'll love this film. It is a story for the romantic in all of us (even you bitter things!).

Adriana Maggs in person

In Grown Up Movie Star writer-director Adriana Maggs and star Tatiana Maslany (who won a Special Jury prize at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival for her performance) flawlessly capture the recklessness and confusion of adolescence. Maggs makes a memorable feature debut with this character-driven melodrama that is funny, touching and pitch-perfect in its evocation of a contentious father-daughter relationship. More than that, it also portrays a sexy, poignant portrait of the ecstasy, agony and frustration of sexual awakening — whether it happens at 13 or 40.

Bored with life in her tiny Newfoundland town, precocious though extremely naïve 13-year-old Ruby is an unguided missile waiting to explode. There is no one at home to put the brakes on her risky behavior as she finds new ways to get into trouble with boys. Mom’s long gone and her ex-hockey star father Ray is grappling with his own sexuality as the closet he has built around himself begins to splinter under the weight of a new affair.

Straight from Slamdance Film Festival comes an intense look at the life of a punk rock star who died before her time.

Rikki Beadle-Blair

Join us for our youth screening event! We are very proud to be screening the area debut - and another film in our Spotlight on UK Cinema - of Rikki Beadle-Blair's Fit. Created by the UK's Stonewall project to raise awareness of bullying and homophobia. Fit originated as a play to be performed in schools across Britain and was adapted into a highly successfulm film that has screened at festivals worldwide. We are really excited to be screening this film.

“You’re so gay.” “That’s so gay.” What do these words mean? When a teenager spews them, it’s usually an insult. Writer/director Rikki Beadle-Blair attacks these words head-on in this powerful, moving and hugely entertaining narrative feature.
