The Venice Murders
Leaving behind a successful career, Celia pursues an art degree in Italy hoping to find her true passion–only to have her new roommate go missing, the local man she’s dating a prime suspect. All alone in an unfamiliar country, she’s forced to team up with her eccentric expat Aunt Rosa, estranged from the family decades before, to save her friend and bring the kidnapper to justice.
Hurt by Paradise
Woody Allen meets Frances Ha in this new British drama by first-time feature director, poet, actor and publisher Greta Bellamacina. Greta also stars as Celeste, a young mother trying to carve out a career as a poet in modern-day London. Meanwhile, friend and neighbour Stella (played by co-writer Sadie Brown), dreams of being an actor but spends much of her time babysitting Celeste’s son. Part ode to the city, this is a skilfully observed tale of friendship and family with a refreshingly understated sense of humour.
