The Woman in Black

Finding it hard to decide on which films to see at this year's film festival? With 429 films from 80 different countries, it's not an easy task. Here are some of the organisers' tips to get you started.

The Woman in Black
A horror-thriller about a young lawyer (Daniel Radcliffe - Harry Potter) who travels to a remote village where a female ghost is terrorising the locals. Based on Susan Hill's novel of the same name. In English

The Ambassador

A thought provoking documentary about a Danish man who travels to Africa for diplomatic purposes. The bulk of the film was shot with a concealed camera. English subtitles

The Night Watchman
Natalia Almada gives us a poetic and almost wordless portrait of Mexico's drug wars. The consequences of the bloody rivalry are shown through night watchman Martin, in charge of a small cemetery in northern Mexico. English subtitles

The Unfinished History of Life
For this film, director Cong Feng wanted to paint a picture of typical Chinese life in rural areas. In making this very extensive portrait, he maintained the approach of an anthropologist. English subtitles

Där vi en gång
Set in Helsinki in the early 1900's the film follows the love triangle of an upper class girl, her childhood photographer friend and a working class football player. English subtitles

Habibi
The first feature film shot in Gaza in 15 years. It's about two students studying in the West Bank who are deeply in love. They are sent back to Gaza, a place where there is no space for love. English subtitles
