Director: Björn Runge
Stars: Glenn Close, Jonathan Pryce, Christian Slater, Max Irons
Is this the film that finally gets Glenn Close an Oscar after 6 nominations? She would certainly deserve it for playing the wife of lionised author Joe Castleman (Pryce), who is being awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Hounded by a sleazy hack (Slater), their marriage starts to seem less the perfect match of author and helpmeet that they have portrayed to the world. Based on the acclaimed novel by Meg Wolitzer, this “is a smart, supremely watchable and entertaining film” (The Guardian).

Director: Bharat Nalluri
Stars: Dan Stevens, Christopher Plummer, Jonathan Pryce
Bharat Nalluri’s film presents the making of the beloved children’s classic, Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Life events and a vivid imagination inspired Dickens to create timeless characters such as Ebenezer Scrooge and Tiny Tim. 
A fascinating insight into the author’s creative process as he attempts to win back the confidence of his publishers by writing a novel that would eventually breathe new life into an uninspired holiday season. Dan Stevens gives a lively performance as Dickens.

Plus a BRIT School Showcase film, screened in partnership with the School’s Film & Media Production department.
For this film we are showing Storybook Ending (3.35 mins), directed by Harry Holland. A little girl must find all her childhood friends before bedtime.
