BORDER d. Ali Abassi, 2018 at Arthouse Crouch End (13 MAR 13:20 & 20:45):

  • “Customs officer Tina is known for her extraordinary sense of smell. It’s almost as if she can sniff out the guilt on anyone hiding something. But when Vore, a suspicious-looking man, walks past her, her abilities are challenged for the first time ever.”

RAY & LIZ d. Richard Billingham, 2018 at ICA (13 MAR 16:20):

  • “Photographer Richard Billingham makes his feature debut, a fragmentary story of a family barely getting by in Thatcher’s Britain. Ray, isolated in a tower block, recalls moments of his earlier life as he (Justin Salinger) and Liz (Ella Smith) spend his redundancy pay, smoking, drinking and seldom leaving the house.”
