A live action version of Disney’s much loved classic and based on the story by Rudyard Kipling. After a fierce tiger threatens his life, Mowgli, an orphan boy raised by wolves, leaves his jungle home and, guided by a stern panther and the free-spirited Baloo the Bear (voiced by Bill Murray), sets out on a journey of self discovery.
A military officer Katherine Powell (Helen Mirren) is in command of a secret drone operation to capture terrorists in Nairobi. When Powell learns that the group plans to carry out a suicide attack, her objective is changed from capture to kill just as a nine-year old girl enters the kill zone. With civilian life at stake and the clock ticking to stop the terrorist attack, Eye In The Sky explores the murky landscape of modern warfare and human morality in our present-day fight against terror.
‘Our Little Sister’ is a Japanese drama about three young adult sisters who meet their thirteen-year-old halfsister, Suzu, for the first time at their estranged father's funeral. With no one to take care of Suzu the sisters invite her to live with them.

Donizetti’s ‘Don Pasquale’ is regarded as a cornerstone of the Italian comic opera tradition because its characters are no mere commedia dell’arte stereotypes, but complex, vulnerable human beings. This is brought to the fore in Clément’s sensitive and perceptive production. Acclaimed buffo baritone Alessandro Corbelli sings the title role while Danielle de Niese is Norina.
Set in 1980’s Dublin ‘Sing Street’ tells the tale of lovestruck teenager Conor who after moving schools decides to impress a girl by asking her to be in his band’s video. There’s only one drawback - he doesn’t have a band. From his oddball circle of friends he is quickly able to form one and with inspiration from watching ‘80’s music videos the teens are transformed into expert musicians.
