World Cinema Screenings and Film Networking Event
A season of 16 screenings funded by North West Vision and Media and Barrow Borough Council, ‘World Cinema Showcase’ will bring the best films from around the world every month to Ulverston’s art deco cinema, The Roxy, in collaboration with ‘Film Club at the Roxy’. The films will then be taken alternatively each month to Barrow’s Forum Twenty Eight and Gleaston Village Hall.
November’s screening at The Roxy is part of a tailored Film Networking Event for filmmakers and enthusiasts, featuring guest speaker Alan Saywell, the Cumbria Film Officer for North West Vision + Media, who will be talking about independent filmmaking and providing advice to the audience. We are also pleased to welcome Asitha Ameresekere who will be introducing his BAFTA-Winning short film Do Not Erase. This will be a great opportunity for local filmmakers to network and gain insiders advice from industry experts.

This French thriller is a slick, cinematic treat. When a serial killer is caught he confesses to eight murders, but denies killing Margot. The police believe that he is responsible and therefore close the case. Margot’s widowed husband, Alex, finds it difficult to cope; his job as a doctor helps him to escape during the day, but at night he is left to ponder on his wife’s mysterious death. His life is once again turned upside down when two more women’s’ bodies are found and Alex is sent an anonymous email with a link to a video-surveillance web-cam and a time at which to watch it… Instead of being able to let go of the past, he is forced to revisit it.
“A gripping thriller, this deserves to cross over from the subtitled bracket into mainstream cinema.”
Empire Magazine
“…retains all the slick dynamism and tension of a classic Hollywood thriller without ever seeming anything but French”
