OUT THERE

Still grieving the disappearance of her scientist father, amateur teenaged astronomer Maz (Stocks) is convinced she has spotted something suspicious hovering above her sleepy Welsh hometown. Recruiting her best mate Little Elis (Moya), UFO-obsessed conspiracy theorist Bryn (Barnard) and local psychic Shifty Gruff (Sheen), Maz and her gang of misfits set out to uncover the truth, one that is far more complex than they might have expected. Breathlessly paced, wittily evoking its early 2000s setting via superb music choices, costumes and production design, this charming Welsh debut from director Simon Ryninks is poignant, funny and entirely unpredictable.

Bodyhackers

Intent on exposing the cosmetics industry for exploiting insecurities through unrealistic beauty standards, an environmental activist falls in love with a ballerina with her own obsession with unattainable beauty, becoming dangerously drawn into the world of underground plastic surgery.

The Arrow at Rest at Every Instant of its Flight

Three seemingly disconnected stories unfold across New York City. Gus Birney stars as Violet, a jaded arcade worker, Sinopia, an upper-class professor bored with her marriage, and Jade, an endlessly cool young woman who decides to help a stranger out of her debt. Meanwhile, a woman with a suitcase (Constance Shulman) moves through the city in search of the doppelganger trying to take over her life. Surreal, comedic and reflexive, this film plays out like free jazz, with writer-director Schaefer deftly pulling us through this whirlwind black-and-white flight of fancy.

When a group of tourists ventures off the beaten track in the vast swamplands of the Louisiana Bayou, they find themselves trapped in a claustrophobic open locale by a very large, very active, very food-centred hippo.

Taut, tense and tightly constructed with playful nods to genre conventions and highly impactful practical effects, this is a hugely enjoyable, heart-pounding survival thriller that is made to be watched with a raucous midnight audience.
