Chittagong
Set in the turbulence of the 1930s British India, Chittagong is a true story of a 14 year old boy, Jhunku, and of his journey to find where he belongs. For the first time in Indian history, the British army is defeated by a ragtag army of schoolboys and their teacher, Masterda. Called a traitor by his peers, and let down by a man he trusts, Jhunku impulsively joins the movement. As his world is turned upside down, Jhunku is forced to confront his self-doubts. As the leaders of the movement are progressively caught or killed, Jhunku battles against seemingly insurmountable odds to win a victory of his own.

Preceded by the film "Coward"
Coward is a moving insightful drama that takes us from the idyllic pastures of Ireland directly to the brutal and senseless trenches of the First World War, as Private Patterson tries to keep a family promise to look after his younger cousin. A promise that proves to be near impossible to fulfill in the relentless and hellish onslaught of the battlefields (1917 Belgium). Courage and commitment collide in a story, inspired by real events, underscoring the tragic nature of war and illustrate how justice can often be a casualty of warfare.
Starring: Martin McCann, Sean Stewart, Charlotte Bradley, Nick Moran, Cillian Roche, Charlie Clements, Joe van Moyland
