Overview: Set in the 1970’s America, it’s about a cantankerous classic master who together with the school cook, has to look after a wayward teenager who has nowhere to go for the Christmas holidays. The school teacher has been told to do this by the Principal as a punishment for refusing to give undeserved good grades to the son of a generous benefactor. The eerily empty school is dominated by the school cook (Da’Vine) who won an Oscar for her performance and Paul Giamatti and the film itself have won many awards.

The Old Oak
Director: Ken Loach
Featuring: Dave Turner, Ebia Mari
Language: English
Running Time: 113 min
Overview: TJ Ballantyne (Dave Turner) is suffering from a Job-like ordeal: he is divorced and depressed. The Old Oak is his run down pub in a run down town in N.E.England and his regulars are seething because real estate companies are buying up properties for a song and renting them out. Then a bus load of terrified Syrians arrive and the tension gets worse. It’s not all doom and gloom however, as Loach ends the film with a ringing statement of faith in compassion for the oppressed.
