This month at Light House very much belongs to accomplished and much beloved British actresses. Helen Mirren ‘fights for the art’ alongside a rejuvenated Ryan Reynolds in ‘Woman In Gold’ as Alan Rickman directs Kate Winslet in his period drama debut ‘ A Little Chaos’.

Matthias Schoenaerts. Michael Sheen. Tom Sturridge. Carey Mulligan certainly has her pick of the suitors in Thomas Vinterberg’s (The Hunt) adaptation of Thomas Hardy’s classic novel ‘Far From The Madding Crowd’.

Sticking with the home-grown theme, Tom Hardy and Gary Oldman collaborate once again in ‘Child 44’, whilst ‘Game Of Thrones’ star Maisie Williams switches swords and sandals for school in ‘The Falling’. Elsewhere, we’ll see Luke Perry rock out in John Williams’ ‘The Beat Beneath My Feet’, which has already played at Berlin and Raindance Film Festival.

Branching overseas, director Noah Baumbach returns after his previously well-received effort ‘Frances Ha’ with Ben Stiller and Naomi Watts looking to rediscover their youth in ‘While We’re Young’. Omar Sy reteams with ‘Untouchable’ duo Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano for dramedy ‘Samba’.

It’s also a month celebrating science-fiction and the tenth anniversary of a leading festival. Marked with a special screening of ‘Close Encounters of The Third Kind’, a memorabilia and toy fair will be hosted on Monday ‘May The Fourth Be With You’. In addition, it’s the return of DeafFest with the Ukranian film ‘The Tribe’ heading up proceedings.

Here’s the line-up in full:
