A 59-year-old carpenter recovering from a heart attack befriends a single mother and her two kids as they battle the impersonal, bureaucratic forces of the benefits system. British master Ken Loach won his second Palme d’Or at Cannes for this timely drama with equal amounts of humour, warmth and despair. “Loach is nothing if not a humanist, one who sees what should unite us all in times of duress, and this is arguably one of his best.” - Rolling Stone.

Fiume o morte! Fiume o morte!

On 12 September 1919, a troop of some three hundred soldiers under the leadership of the flamboyant war-loving Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio swooped into the Northern-Adriatic port town of Fiume, now Rijeka, wanting to annex the city to Italy. Over the course of the next 16 months, during what is regarded as one of the most bizarre militant sieges of all time his official photography team captured over 10,000 images. A century later, Igor Bezinović orchestrates a direct-action history lesson focused on the siege and its modern-day implications.
