Slipstream is the debut into independent filmmaking by Academy Award-winning actor Anthony Hopkins. If it is ever possible to sense the liberation and creative passion unleashed by such a newfound freedom, we can experience it with Hopkins's inventive and multilayered work. The film features a sterling ensemble cast, including Christian Slater, John Turturro, Stella Arroyave, Jeffrey Tambor, and Hopkins himself. Aided by acclaimed cinematographer Dante Spinotti and celebrated costume designer Julie Weiss, Hopkins takes on us an incredible journey into the combustion of a writer's mind and the nature of the creative process.
Director: Anthony Hopkins
Cast: Anthony Hopkins, Christian Slater, John Turturro, Fionnula Flannagan, Kevin McCarthy, Stella Arroyave, Gavin Grazer, Lisa Pepper, Lana Antonova

THE TEN
(OFICIAL PREMIERE)
Saturday, 13th October, 11h, Auditori
Saturday, 13th October, 15.30h, Auditori
THE TEN is comprised of 10 blasphemous and hysterical stories that put the insanity back in Christianity. Inspired by each of the Ten Commandments, every story is told in a different style, but the characters and themes overlap. It's all held together by a narrator who has his own moral problems. Finally, everyone is united at the end for a rousing finale that answers the question, "What's it all about?"
These hilarious stories feature a careless skydiver who becomes an accidental superstar, a doctor who kills patients as a "goof," two neighbors who compete over who can amass the most CAT-scan machines, and a woman who falls for all the wrong men, including a ventriloquist's dummy.
Director: David Wain
Cast: Paul Rudd, Adam Brody, Rob Corddry, Jessica Alba, Winona Ryder, Liev Schreiber, Justin Theroux, Gretchen Mol, Oliver Platt, Famke Janssen, Ron Silver
US Release: Think Film

NOISE
(OFICIAL NOVES VISIONS)
Saturday, 6th October, 16h, Tramuntana
Monday, 8th October, 16.30h, Prado Cinema
This is a story about the wrong person in the right place at the wrong time. Two heinous crimes have left a suburban town reeling. Police quickly connect them but are desperate for witnesses as the local community enfolds itself in a shroud of secrecy, borne from fear and an untrammeled mistrust of authority.
A young police constable, Graham McGahan, suffers from a chronic hearing problem and applies for worker's compensation. To his chagrin, he is stationed at a police caravan near the crime scene. Living on the periphery of the investigation, McGahan crosses paths with the various people affected by the tragedies and uncovers an unraveling nightmare of guilt and suspicion.
Writer/director Matthew Saville utilizes exquisite sound and production design to bring to life his astonishing script. Saville shifts the police thriller genre away from the familiar and onto the fringe with a fascinating effect.
Noise recently played at Sundance in World Dramatic Competition.
Director: Matthew Saville
Cast: Brendan Cowell, Maia Thomas, Henry Nixon, Nicholas Bell

STORM WARNING
(MIDNIGHT X-TREME SECTION)
Saturday, 6th October, 1.15h, Auditori
Saturday, 13th October, 1h, Retiro Cinema
The people who brought you WOLF CREEK and the director of URBAN LEGEND take terror to the extreme!
On a weekend boating excursion, husband and wife Rob and Pia become lost in a heavy storm and end up in the most unlikely place - a desolate swamp surrounded by thick forest. With their boat in disarray their only solution is to look for help or seek shelter of some kind.
They finally come across a decrepit house and barn with no one home.
But when the deranged, redneck owners, Brett, Jimmy and their even more terrifying father Poppy return, Rob and Pia realize a fear far beyond anything they have ever known, and resentful of the affluent intruders, the monstrously sadistic hillbillies imprison and enslave the couple, who fearing for their lives, submit to appalling degradation and humiliation.
Director: Jamie Blanks
Cast: Nadia Fares, John Brumpton, David Lyons, Mathew Wilkinson
US RELEASE: TWC
