In the third installment of the hit comedy "Tesciowie 3", the family reunites once again — this time at a tranquil countryside resort for a christening. Wanda and Tadeusz are hosting the celebration and invite Malgorzata, who arrives with her friend, psychotherapist Grazyna. Also making an appearance is Malgorzata’s ex-husband, Andrzej, who has flown in all the way from Australia — and he’s not alone.

What begins as a peaceful gathering quickly descends into chaos, as old tensions resurface and new romances spark unexpected consequences — with the local police soon getting involved.

One of the world’s greatest singers, Andrea Bocelli has a voice that transcends genres and generations. In this intimate portrait of the acclaimed Italian tenor, Bocelli, for the first time, tells his story in his own words. Documentarian Cosima Spender follows Bocelli with unprecedented access beyond the footlights to reveal an uncompromising artist and devoted family man with a fearless passion for living. Despite losing his sight at age 12, Bocelli dedicated his life to music and, after years spent entertaining customers in piano bars, caught the attention of the legendary Luciano Pavarotti, who heard Bocelli’s voice on a demo tape. Bocelli’s life changed dramatically with the worldwide smash hit “Time to Say Goodbye,” his astonishing duet with Sarah Brightman that catapulted him to superstardom. With hard-fought technical mastery of his voice and his decades-long love of opera — “music’s heaven” — Bocelli would go on to perform on the world’s most prestigious stages and with diverse singing partners such as Céline Dion, Jennifer Lopez, and Dua Lipa. Through interviews, archival performance footage, and informal gatherings with family and friends, Andrea Bocelli: Because I Believe celebrates the voice — and man — who continues to touch the hearts of millions of listeners around the world.

In war-torn Rome, Floria Tosca and Mario Cavaradossi live for each other and for their art. But when Cavaradossi helps an escaped prisoner, the lovers make a deadly enemy in the form of Baron Scarpia, Chief of Police.

Silents Synced pairs classic silent movies with epic rock music to bring audiences a unique big screen experience. This reimagining of the iconic Nosferatu (1922) features Radiohead’s Kid A (2000) and Amnesiac (2001) albums.

An unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Nosferatu (1922) is the quintessential silent vampire film, crafted by legendary German director F. W. Murnau. Rather than depicting Dracula as a shape-shifting monster or debonair gentleman, Murnau’s Graf Orlok (as portrayed by Max Schreck) is a nightmarish, spidery creature of bulbous head and taloned claws — perhaps the most genuinely disturbing incarnation of vampirism yet envisioned.

In his new production, Rolando Villazón—the tenor who has embarked on a brilliant second career as a director—retains the opera’s original setting in the Swiss Alps but uses its somnambulant plot to explore the emotional and psychological valleys of the mind.

To celebrate their 10th anniversary Porlock Press film club proudly presents a special one-night only screening of Jan Švankmajer’s Alice!

This is the classic Lewis Carroll story of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland as you’ve never seen it before.

Švankmajer’s first feature film blends live action, stop-motion animation and puppetry to create a fantastical world powered by Surrealism, dream logic and boundless creativity.

A desk drawer becomes a portal to another world where nothing is as it seems. Taxidermied animals spring back to life and consume their own sawdust stuffing as food. A baguette sprouts rusted metal nails like hair. Stopwatches are routinely slathered in butter. A ragtag crew of Frankenstein-like skeleton creatures rides around inside a pigeon-drawn carriage.

These are but glimpses of the strange world Alice encounters as she chases after the White Rabbit before reaching her final destination, an audience with the fearsome Queen of Hearts!

Kristýna Kohoutová gives a brilliant performance as the titular heroine that helps to guide us forward as we follow her through a dizzying parade of bizarre characters and weird scenes.

Alice is a heartfelt ode to the power of imagination, brought to life by a master filmmaker. This is a true labour of love that demands to be seen on the big screen!

Festival Film & Event Timetable:

1 85-year-old Man, 5 Countries, 16 Cities, 23 shows, 6 weeks.

Will he make it home … or is this the end of the road?

One of the most recognisable figures in British comedy, John Cleese’s career spans six decades - from his early days with the Cambridge Footlights to co-founding Monty Python, co-creating Fawlty Towers, and writing and starring in the Oscar-nominated “A Fish Called Wanda”. His unique brand of black humour has made him a global icon and intergalactic treasure. At the age of eighty five, John Cleese sets off on what might be his final European tour - five countries, sixteen cities, twenty-three shows, and retaining just two original body parts. “John Cleese Packs It In” is a wry, behind-the-scenes portrait of a comedy legend on the road, battling various ailments, chaotic travel, and his own stubborn refusal to stop. Spanning six weeks on the road, the film captures Cleese unfiltered and on the move - riffing on life, fame, and the absurdity of getting old in front of thousands of fans. As he reflects on a stage career that began in 1963, the question lingers: is this the end of the road? With unique and intimate access and showing unexpected tenderness, this is a documentary about legacy, laughter, and the dignity of bowing out… however reluctantly.

Following her acclaimed 2024 company debut in Puccini’s Madama Butterfly, soprano Asmik Grigorian returns to the Met as Tatiana, the lovestruck young heroine in this ardent operatic adaptation of Pushkin. Baritone Igor Golovatenko reprises his portrayal of the urbane Onegin, who realizes his affection for her all too late. The Met’s evocative production, directed by Tony Award–winner Deborah Warner, “offers a beautifully detailed reading of … Tchaikovsky’s lyrical romance” (The Telegraph).
