"One of the funniest documentaries ever made!" - Michael Moore

This film follows the 1980's viral Internet phenomenon created by a series outtakes from a Winnebago Camper Van sales video featuring profane outbursts from a salesperson named Jack Rebney. Originally intended as an inside joke, the video spread across the globe—first on VHS, and then on YouTube, earning Mr. Rebney the title of: "The Angriest Man in the World". The documentary explores the story of the clips' origins and takes the viewer on an enlightening journey to find Jack Rebney himself and attempt to uncover what makes this man tick. A hilarious and oddly heartwarming tale of a true misfit. Not to be missed!

Head South

Rating: R16 - Violence, drug use, offensive language & sexual coercion

Running time: 1hr 36mins

STARTING 14 NOV

Directed by Johnathan Ogilvie

Christchurch, Aotearoa New Zealand, 1979. During a fortnight with his world-weary father, Angus is drawn to the underground post-punk music scene. With the support of his friend Kirsten, Angus navigates self doubt, derision and a family tragedy to take the stage for the first time.

Drawing from his own experience growing up in Christchurch in the 1970s and ’80s, Jonathan Ogilvie’s warmly engaging film delves beneath the city’s prim and proper exterior to portray its nascent post-punk underground. A scene which would later birth the record label Flying Nun, that would go on take South Island music to the world.

“It had a lightness to it that is really cool and really rare.” - Dominic Corry, RNZ

“It’s Bennett who steals the show, turning the traditional “female best-friend” into a complex character – and one with plenty of chutzpah and charisma.” - James Croot, Stuff

Ōtautahi, Christchurch, 1979. A post-punk soundtrack. Head South captures all these magical moments in one feature-length film. - Stuff/Your Weekend

Directed by Rich Peppiatt

Witness the rise of Kneecap - the Belfast trio who became the voice of a generation.
When fate brings Belfast schoolteacher JJ (DJ Próvai) into the orbit of self-confessed "low life scum" Naoise (Móglaí Bap) and Liam Og (Mo Chara), the needle drops on a hip hop act like no other. Based on the origin story of the riotous and ground-breaking Irish-language rap trio Kneecap, the film stars the band in their acting debuts alongside Academy Award® nominated Michael Fassbender with Simone Kirby, Jessica Reynolds, Fionnuala Flaherty and Josie Walker.

Rapping in their native Irish language, KNEECAP fast become the unlikely figureheads of a Civil Rights movement to save their mother tongue. But the trio must first overcome police, paramilitaries, and politicians trying to silence their defiant sound while their anarchic approach to life often makes them their own worst enemies. Set in west Belfast in 2019, it chronicles how fate brings the trio together and how they then go on to “change the sound of Irish music forever”.
