Writer/director Justin Kerrigan's debut follows half a dozen Cardiff clubbers through one frenetic, drug-fuelled weekend. Unfettered by anything resembling a plot, the film concentrates instead on the motley assortment of characters, including love-hungry raver Jip, whose tackle, unfortunately, just isn't larging it lately.

'Trailer Park Boys' is a character-driven Canadian mockumentary, tragic and gentle in its brilliant and charmingly comic, satiristic treatment of trailer park life. find out more...

A tour de force of twisted weirdness, gonzo journalism and mutated nastiness, plus a bit of fear and loathing. Based on the writings and real life exploits of 60s journalist Hunter S Thompson. It's all here, the copious drink, the superhuman drug intake, and the wind-ups shot at whatever symbol of authority Thompson considers as fair game. Excellent. find out more...
