I Am Love meets Meet the Parents in this outrageous 'al dente' family comedy from celebrated award-winning director Ferzan Özpetek.

When the Cantones gather for a family dinner to both welcome Tommaso's return and to discuss the future of the family business, a secret is revealed that throws the whole family into turmoil, and the strong familial ties which bind them together are put to the test with explosive and hilarious results.

"With its themes of family secrets, oddball character parts, bittersweet tone and sunny outlook, this is easily the most Almodovar-esque of all Ozpetek's films" – Screen International.

Directed by Nana Neul
Starring Anjorka Strechel, Lucie Hollmann, Manuel Cortez

Eternal daydreamer Mel can't wait to quit her sucky catering job and fly to her dream destination: Portugal. Things change when the beautiful Jenny literally crashes into her life when Mel nearly runs her over in her classic BMW. It is love at first sight, however there is just one problem: Jenny mistakenly assumes Mel to be a boy. Despite this, the pair become boyfriend and girlfriend. With Mel attempting to disguise her true gender at every turn, her journey from tomboy to out lesbian is fraught with life-defining dilemmas and sweet surprises.

The Wedding Song / Le chant des mariées (France/Tunisia 2008) – DVD release on 16th May
Directed by Karin Albou
Starring Lizzie Brocheré, Olympe Borval, Najib Oudghiri, Simon Abkarian

Tunis, 1942: Against the Allied bombs and the goosesteps of the Nazi occupiers, two teenage girlfriends, one Muslim, the other Jewish, cling to the bond they've shared since childhood. However, the world shared by Jews and Arabs is being split by German promises of liberation - they'll rid Tunis of the French and the Jews. As Myriam is no longer safe, her mother attempts to marry her off to a wealthy doctor to save them both. But Myriam doesn't want to get married, so she and Nour make efforts to scupper the wedding plans.

César nominee writer/director Karin Albou's bold second feature lifts the lid on a chapter of WWII history that has rarely been shown. Reminiscent of women-led wartime films such as Aimée & Jaguar and The Diary of Anne Frank, The Wedding Song explores both Jewish and Arab cultures and female sexuality to winning effect.

Extras are awaiting confirmation.

Just as the pair begin to bond, the true reasons for Alexandra's return begin to unravel, threatening the future for both of them.
