Based on the book by British actor Peter Turner, Film Stars tells the story of his relationship with legendary (and eccentric) Hollywood actress Gloria Graham in the final years of her life. A sensual femme fatale, she starred alongside legends of the 1950s silver screen such as Humphrey Bogart, Robert Mitchum, Lana Turner and Kirk Douglas, and was awarded an Academy Award in 1952 for her supporting performance in Vincente Minnelli's The Bad and the Beautiful. In 1978, already in her fifties and performing in minor theatrical productions, she met the young Turner in Liverpool.

Prepared over twenty years by Korean master Park Chan-wook (Oldboy, The Handmaiden), the film is among the leading contenders for an Academy Award nomination for Best International Feature Film.

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.
