Holmfirth Film Festival

Dir. Radu Ciornciuc (Germany/Romania 2021, 86mins 12)

Remarkable and beautiful award-winning documentary resonant of our times. A Romanian family with nine children live in a paradise wilderness in the Delta heart of Bucharest but are crushed and lost by the stream-roller of progress.

Dir. Jan Komasa (Poland 2019, 115 mins 15)

Poland's entry to the Oscars was one of the best films of the year.  Based on the true story of a parolee who takes on the role of being a priest.  'Each of us is the priest of Christ'.  Bartosz Bielanic in the lead role is simply brilliant.

Dir. Marco Pontecorvo (Portugal 113mins 12)

A trial of faith unfolds when secrets are revealed to Portugese children in 1917 at the apex of the First World War.  A film loved by audiences.

Dir. Karim Ainouz (Brazil/Germany 2019, 139mins 18)

Brazil’s entry to the Oscars and the winner of awards at Cannes is terrific. A riot of colour melodrama about two inseparable sisters who attempt to find each other after a forced separation by their tyrannical father.
