Judge Vaughn, a modern Shakespearean actor becomes psychologically troubled while playing Hamlet on stage. His connection to the play takes him back in time to 1920, where he must unravel the mystery surrounding his past life and death. What he uncovers is more than a parallel existence, but his attempt to repair the damage done in the past may leave him there.
A fascinating puzzle, a tale of parallel stories in different time frames, reminiscent of hypnotic movies like "Dead Again", "The Time Traveler's Wife" and "Vertigo".
GENRE: Sci-fi; Adventure, Family, Time-travelspan / 82 minutes / English

THE COMPETITION
A Comedy about Music, Life and Chasing Your Dreams
Steffie Waters has lived her whole life in a small and strangely musical country town, brought up by her grandmother Maria. Steffie would love to get to the big city but is held back by her loyalty to her boyfriend Mike. When Sebastian and Kev, two aging judges from a struggling reality TV show arrive in town to run a music competition, Steffie has to make some tough decisions about her future. As the week in the small country town unfolds, Sebastian - who is Maria's old flame - is confronted with the consequences of his past, and he and Steffie must both work out what is truly important in life.
Featuring a superb soundtrack, The Competition is a warm-hearted story of what it really takes to follow your dreams.

The timeless classic and eternally beloved story of pure and idealistic love.
Few works so completely capture a universal aspect of human experience the way Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" captures pure and idealistic love. Few works have lasted in time and been so beloved that they are refreshed with each generation. Look at popular music charts and references will abound. Look at school productions and the play will be there. Here now is the story expressed in stunning animation in an age sensitive portrayal aimed at pre and young teen audiences (8 to 16). We forget sometimes that Shakespeare's Juliet was thirteen years old and Romeo not much older.
"Romeo and Juliet" fills any family oriented line-up and amply fills the role of beloved classic.

Directed by Ulrika Bengts, director of Finland's 2013 Oscar contender, The Disciple.
A classical movie with a progressive message.
A hauntingly beautiful and unusual coming-of-age tale, filmed on 35mm. The acting and directing matches the high quality of the writing. Touching, yet not overly emotional, it draws you in from the first moment and transports you to 1890 with IRIS, who, abandoned by her artist mother, discovers the joys of friendship and family on a remote island.It's a story of the human condition and how even deep prejudices can be overcome by the simple act of kindness and the willingness to strive for individuality.
"Life doesn't have to be either-or, it can be both."
