 Faker's



de Richard Janes avec Matthew Rhys, Kate Ashfield, Tom Chambers, Tony Haygarth, Art Malik
Année de production : 2003
durée : 1h26
Grande-Bretagne

Faker's is an off-beat, comedy crime caper set in London art world. Nick Edwards( Matthew Rhys ) owes £50.000 and has no way of paying-off wannabe crime lord Foster Wright ( Art Malik ). This is until he stumbles  across a lost sketch by legendary Italian artist Antonio Fraccini. Problem is it's only worth £15.000. A plan is hatched; to forge the drawing and sell it to five Mayfair galleries within an hour before anyone cottons onto the fact that there's a scam going down.


 Adam and Paul



de Lenny Abrahamson  avec Mark O’Halloran, Tom Murphy
Année de production : 2004
durée : 1h26
Irlande

Friend's since they were small boys, Adam and Paul have withered into two hapless desperate junkies, tied together by habit and necessity. A stylised downbeat physical comedy, the film follows the boys over the course of a simple day, which like every other, is entirely devoted to the business of scrounging and robbing money for drugs.

Année de production : 2003
Durée : 1h43

Based on real events, Deadlines is a surreal, harrowing, sometimes darkly comic thriller set in wartime Beirut. Alex Randal, a young reporter with far more bravado than experience, arrives in the war torn city to cover the deadly double bombing of America's US Marine barracks and France's paratrooper base. In the mayhem he meets Julia Muller, a beautiful, enigmatic photographer. Like Beirut itself, nothing with Julia is what it seems.


 Out on a Limb
