Films — by Collection

Staff Picks: Kailey Carruthers

As an aspiring festival 'lifer' and amateur cinephile, my 2015 picks span a wide array of subjects and styles. While the list below is a small teaser of my ever-growing wishlist, these are the films that I simply cannot miss seeing for the first or sometimes second time. Always one to give'r for the Canadian content, I look forward to experiencing the wild and woolly programme heading our way this year.

Song of the Sea

Tomm Moore

An enthralling reinterpretation of Irish folktales… Sophisticated enough to appeal to adults and packed with enough humour and adventure to work for youngsters, Song of the Sea is a real animated gem.

Amy

Asif Kapadia

An intimate, overwhelmingly moving tribute to Amy Winehouse, the great young British soul singer whose talent and charisma brought her more fame than anyone might be able to handle. From the director of Senna.
