Spider-Man: Brand New Day
Rated M
Distributor: Sony Pictures
Synopsis: It’s a BRAND NEW DAY for Peter Parker. Fighting crime full-time as Spider-Man in a world that doesn’t remember him—and the pressure of seeing his old friends move on without him—sparks a change in Peter he may not have the power to control. But that transformation might also be the only thing that can stop a shocking new threat to the city and those he loves – a powerful villain no one can even see.
The world may have forgotten Peter Parker, but he hasn’t forgotten them.
The Blue Trail
Rated M
Distributor: Palace Films
Synopsis: It’s the near future. Independent 77-year-old Tereza (the astonishing Denise Weinberg) has lived her whole life in a small, industrialised town, working on the production line at a local factory. One day she’s surprised to return home to an official government order, forcing relocation to a senior housing colony in an isolated area where the elderly are – purportedly – brought to ‘enjoy’ their final years in comfort, while their relatives are freed from caring duties. But the rules seem to have changed; Tereza wasn’t expecting the directive until she turned 80.
Refusing to accept the fate imposed on her, Tereza impulsively decides to embark on a journey down the rivers and tributaries of the Amazon… one that will change her destiny forever.
