Iska's Journey extended description (play trailer) Synopsis: " 'Iska's Journey' is the standout (film), unfolding with the utmost confidence and simplicity -- to devastating effect. Maria Varga stars as an irresistible, resilient ragamuffin scavenging for scrap metal in an impoverished Romanian mining town, exactly as she was when Bollok discovered her. He elicits from Varga a breathtaking portrayal, natural and spontaneous; Iska's flight from a brutal, alcoholic family is increasingly harrowing, a shattering comment on the terrible vulnerability of children making their way on their own in the world." ISKA’S JOURNEY is the official Hungarian entry for the 2009 Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film. |

NyMpha extended descriptionplay trailer Synopsis: “NyMpha is so drenched in Catholic guilt that it made me want to confess - and I’m an Anglican agnostic. I thought NyMpha was wonderful. It’s Zuccon’s most thoughtful and mature film to date; the violence is limited and controlled, the characters are fascinating and fully rounded, the oppressive air of religious fervour is cloying and grim. Powerful, powerful stuff.” -- Mike J. Simpson: http://www.mjsimpson.co.uk |
