(2012, dir. Marius Holst, w/ Stellan Skarsgard, Benjamin Helstad)
Based on true events, young boys are stripped of their individuality, personal conviction, cognitive thought and at times their very humanity when sent to Bastoy; a correctional facility isolated on an island some 46 miles out of Oslo. It is at best a high security prison. Shot with attention to greyscale, the cold will permeate your bones from the very screen, even as tensions boil amongst the boys. TJ

(2011, dir. Valerie Donzeli, w/ Valerie Donzelli, Jeremie Alkaim)
Declaration Of War will start at approximately 9:56pm, and finish at approximately 11:42pm.
Donzelli and Elkaim are the writers and stars of this drama about coming to terms with a terminally ill child. Their story, based on their real life experiences, is one of love, passion, endless optimism and constant heartache. A little confused stylistically, Declaration of War contemplates the ends of the human spirit. TJ
