The three friends research, draw, invent, dress up and act out the stories that take their fancy in a magical night where anything is possible sorcerers and fairies, powerful kings and stable boys, werewolves and merciless ladies, cathedrals and straw huts, cities of gold and deep forests, the waves of harmony of choirs immense and the spells of a single tom-tom, malice that ravages and innocence that triumphs Friday 24 March 10:30am

3 ADAMA ADAMA Director: Simon Rouby Voiced by: Pascal Nzonzi, Oxmo Puccino Duration: 82 mins Date of Release: 2015 Recommended for: PG- Grade 8 to Grade 12 Genre: Animation / Drama This simply superb, splendidly original coming-of-age adventure tale premiered at France s prestigious Annecy Animation Film Festival, and the fervent international accolades have not ceased since. The epic tale of young courage follows 12-year-old Adama, whose older brother disappears from the cliff-enclosed paradise of a remote West African village. Defying the village elders, the brave, young boy sets off across the seas on a determined quest to find him. His odyssey leads him into the cold, dark north, where his inner courage is tested as he is thrust onto the front line of World War I s horrific Battle of Verdun. Inspired by the true stories of West Africans who were conscripted by France to fight in World War I, director Simon Rouby s debut film features impressive and distinctive animation techniques that combine sculpture, 2D and 3D animation to express an enormous spectrum of place and emotion. Adama conjures a magical realist atmosphere by weaving mystical elements into an enthralling story that has both nuance and depth, making this an unforgettable journey which will be adored by adults as much as by children.

4 A BAG OF MARBLES UN SAC DE BILLES Director: Christian Duguay Cast: Patrick Bruel, Dorian Le Cletch, Batyste Fleurial, Elsa Zylberstein Duration: 112 mins Date of Release: 18/01/2017 Recommended for: M - Grade 10 to Grade 12 Genre: Drama / Historic AUSTRALIAN PREMIÈRE Based on the famous and acclaimed memoirs of Joseph Joffo, Un sac de billes brings a new version of his incredible story to the screen as it follows the experiences of two young Jewish boys fleeing for their lives in World War II France. When Joseph Joffo was ten years old, his father (played here by beloved French actor Patrick Bruel, Love At First Child, AFFFF 2016; The yellow Eyes Of The Crocodiles, AFFFF 2015) gave him and his brother Maurice francs and set them on a dangerous mission to escape from Nazi-occupied Paris in Making their way to the de-militiarised zone in the South, the boys are unavoidably caught in the whirlwind of war. Armed only with their wits, best judgement, and the occasional kind soul, they swerve and dart through obstacles set by the Nazis to avoid succumbing to the dreadful fate of so many others like them. Christian Duguay is a filmmaker well versed on WWII issues, and his skilled direction combined with immaculate period detail, and stunning scenery of the French countryside makes this is an essential and enjoyable historical recount from a unique perspective.

5 THE ODYSSEY L ODYSSÉE Director: Jérôme Salle With: Lambert Wilson, Pierre Niney, Audrey Tautou, Vincent Heneine Duration: 122 mins Date of Release: 2015 Recommended For: PG - Grade 7 to Grade 12 Genre: Adventure Setting sail across three decades, Jérôme Salle s dazzling biopic follows real-life celebrity oceanographer Jacques Cousteau s life; one rich in accomplishments and teeming with as much turmoil as the majestic underwater wonderland which he explored. It is 1943 and the eccentrically ambitious naval officer Cousteau (Lambert Wilson) dreams only of adventure and it is his magnificent new invention of the Aqua-Lung which will bring him just that. Newly armed with the ability to breathe underwater for long periods of time, Cousteau dedicates his life s work to his obsession with the sea, becoming the first to create underwater films that would dazzle audiences worldwide. However, his success comes at a cost, as his wife Simone (Audrey Tautou) and sons Philippe (Pierre Niney) and Jean-Michel (Benjamin Lavernhe) struggle to keep up with the stormy seas of Cousteau s fierce and unfailing determination, the ultimate price of which is yet to come Through a dazzling array of global exploration locations, we undertake this lyrical journey almost as if a member of Cousteau s crew, experiencing the epic highs and excruciating lows of this pioneer s astounding career which changed the human race s relationship with the sea forever.
