Epic adventure. The story recounts the early life of Genghis Khan who was a slave before going on to conquer half the world including Russia in 1206. Oscar-nominated for Best Foreign Language Film and shot in Kazakhstan and Inner Mongolia, Mongol has breathtaking battle scenes, arresting cinematography and a plot filled with romance, betrayal and conquest.

Based on real events, FEMALE AGENTS is an espionage thriller set in the final months of World War II. In May 1944, a five-woman commando unit parachuted into occupied France on a daring mission to protect the secret of the D-day landings and eliminate Colonel Heindrich, the head of the German counter-intelligence. Following the liberation of France, General de Gaulle neglected to recognise the role played by these women in favour of the heroes who had fought alongside him in the Free French Forces. The film sets out to make amends for this injustice by turning the spotlight on the female operatives who, in the shadows, risked their lives to defeat the Nazis. Marceau (THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH), Depardieu (BLAME IT ON FIDEL) and Gillain (L'ENFER) lend star-studded allure. Subtitled trailer

Starring Audrey Tautou (Amelie). Jean (Gad Elmaleh), a shy young bartender, is mistaken for a millionaire by a beautiful seductress named Irene (Audrey Tautou). When Irene discovers his true identity, she abandons him, only to find that a love-struck Jean has no intention of letting her get away. Jean’s comical attempts to gain her affections gradually evolve into setting himself up as a gigolo at a luxury hotel, until Irene finally starts to warm to her persistent, persuasive suitor. Against the wildly atmospheric backdrop of the south of France, Pierre Salvadori (APRES VOUS) directs this sexy and thoroughly charming romantic comedy, which is a fresh re-imagining of the cinema classic, BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S. 'Sparkling and seductive..... a charming comedy' EMPIRE Subtitled Trailer

A charming comedy drama centred on the everyday lives of five Lebanese women as revealed in a Beirut beauty salon. Nominated for the Caméra d'Or at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival, it is a stylish and witty story that vividly portrays modern-day Beirut with all its contradictions. Subtitled Trailer

Horror. The orphanage was abandoned years ago. In its years of solitude it has acquired a haunted, unhappy air. Something long-hidden and terrible is lurking in the old house, something waiting to emerge and inflict appalling damage on the family that now live there... 'A good old fashioned, beautifuly told, terrifying ghost story' - Empire. Subtitled Trailer Official site Review

Horror. While covering the night shift at a small-town fire department, an ambitious young television reporter and her cameraman follow the crew on a call to rescue an elderly woman unable to escape the inferno that is consuming her home. Upon their arrival at the scene, the calm midnight air is pierced by the sound of horrific screams, and the television report takes an unexpectedly dark turn... 'REC' mixes high suspense with horror adding some truly original ideas, setting the standard for horror movies to follow. "If you enjoyed Cloverfield, you’ll love REC" Subtitled Trailer

Marjane Satrapi's powerful animated memoir about growing up in Tehran amidst the Islamic revolution. Adapted from Satrapi's graphic novel, the film won the Jury prize at Cannes last year and presents the events surrounding the overthrow of the Shah through the eyes of its 10-year-old heroine.
