Return to Seoul (15) 

19 - 25 May (excl. Mon & Tue). See website for dates and times. 

An unpredictable and refreshingly authentic story of a young woman's search for identity. Park Ji-Min delivers a revelatory performance as Freddie, an adoptee who was born in South Korea and raised in France. Freddie is magnetic, spirited and hard to pin down; never in one place, or with one person, for long enough to get attached.  

A Clever Woman (15) 

19 - 25 May (excl. Mon & Tue). See website for dates and times. 

An uplifting and emotionally intense film explores sisterly bonds and the process of mourning. Sisters and performance artists Phoebe and Dot (Josie Lawrence and Tanya Myers) have returned to their family home on the Isle of Wight a year after the death of their composer mother. 

Plan 75 (15) 

19 - 25 May (excl. Mon & Tue). See website for dates and times. 

Chie Hayakawa's thought-provoking drama imagines a world where a country with a low birth rate and dwindling workforce takes drastic steps to alleviate the burden of its ageing population. Japan in the not-too-distant future, like so many neighbouring countries, is saddled with an economic deficit, the result of an oversized population. A tragic event prompts the government to act, and they set about solving the country's troubles by introducing new legislation they call Plan 75.
