The celebrated new film from multi award-winning director Fatih Akin (The Edge of Heaven, In The Fade), AMRUM is a moving and deeply poignant historical drama about a 12-year-old boy who, in the shadow of the fading German regime, discovers the true enemy is far closer than he imagined.

Spring 1945, the remote island of Amrum in the North Sea. In what will become the final days of World War II, big-hearted young student Nanning (exceptional newcomer Jasper Billerbeck) has a busy life. He braves the treacherous sea to hunt seals, fishes at night, and works the neighbouring potato farm run by Tessa (Diane Kruger) to help his pregnant mother Hille (Laura Tonke) – a fervent Nazi loyalist - feed the family. His father, captured as a prisoner of war, is unable to offer help or guidance to his son.

One of the best reviewed films from the 2026 Berlinale's Juliette Binoche and British screen icon Tom Courtenay are exquisite in this bracingly intelligent, raw caregiving drama from Lance Hammer

Winner of the Berlinale Silver Bear Jury Prize and Best Supporting Performance (shared by co-stars Tom Courtenay and Anna Calder-Marshall), Queen at Sea is a superbly crafted, London-set morality tale that faces the thornier issues of caregiving head on. Amanda (Binoche) and her stepfather Martin (Courtenay) are deeply divided on the issue of care for Amanda’s mother, Leslie (Calder-Marshall), who suffers from advanced dementia. Is Leslie still able to give meaningful consent and make critical decisions, and who has the right to make that determination? Earning comparisons to Haneke’s Amour with its towering performances and unsparingly honest portrayal of ageing, this is one of the year’s finest dramas.

Jan’s engineering expertise seems to be wasted, until a gangster recognises his skills and presents a risky opportunity - to produce counterfeit banknotes...

Gabriel Mascaro’s extraordinaryTHE BLUE TRAIL is a breathtaking cinematic odyssey that follows the misadventures of a remarkable Brazilian woman who – as her working life draws to an end – secretly sets out on a trip down the Amazon to fulfil a long-held dream.

It’s the near future. Independent 77-year-old Tereza (the astonishing Denise Weinberg) has lived her whole life in a small, industrialised town, working on the production line at a local factory. One day she's surprised to return home to an official government order, forcing relocation to a senior housing colony in an isolated area where the elderly are - purportedly - brought to ‘enjoy’ their final years in comfort, while their relatives are freed from caring duties. But the rules seem to have changed; Tereza wasn’t expecting the directive until she turned 80.

Refusing to accept the fate imposed on her, Tereza impulsively decides to embark on a journey down the rivers and tributaries of the Amazon… one that will change her destiny forever.

The enchanting new comedy of manners from acclaimed writer/director Grégory Magne (whose debut Perfumes was a sleeper success in 2019), THE MUSICIANS stars Valérie Donzelli as a wealthy heiress whose plan to stage a landmark concert is derailed by the clashing egos of the virtuosos recruited for the performance.

Astrid Thompson (Donzelli) is determined to honour her late industrialist father’s final wish: unite four priceless Stradivarius-stringed instruments for the premiere recital of a new composition by his favourite artist, to be live-streamed for music lovers globally. With just six days to rehearse, a quartet is assembled, but the dream quickly unravels: the musicians are at odds, blinded by their differences and prejudices, and seemingly incapable of working together. With the deadline fast approaching, Astrid tries to coax the reclusive composer of the score, Charlie Beaumont (Frédéric Pierrot), out from creative seclusion in the desperate hope of salvaging the event…
