These are some of the movies playing at the film festival that have been recommended and found so we should go see one while this festival is on. So read and decided or find one yourself or I will slap you with a wet fish.
What better film to fill 100 minutes of your life than the latest masterpiece of for-all-ages wonderment, from Japanese animation genius Miyazaki Hayao? Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale The Little Mermaid, this is the story of Ponyo, a young and eager goldfish, on a quest to become human and befriend a young boy named Sosuke. Ponyo's formidable magical powers are as much of a surprise to her as they are to us. Watching this open-hearted little sprite race across the waves towards her friend, without realising for a second that she's unleashed a tsunami, is so thrilling and funny and tragically innocent all at the same time that it's intoxicating.

Unmade Beds
Dreamily sensuous, Unmade Beds, the year's hippest, freshest, most sweetly inclusive date movie, is a lyrical tale of two solitary expats crossing paths in the international art-rock milieu of a sprawling East London squat. Twenty-year-old Axl has come from Spain to find his long-lost English father. Axl drinks himself into forgetting at night, awaking each morning to another set of nonchalant hosts and lovers. Vera is a French-speaking beauty, wounded in love and oozing continental ennui at her bookstore job. She responds to a stranger's flirtation with games of mystery and intrigue and risks losing the lover of her life in the process. Among the bands making cameo appearances, Connan Mockasin adds a touch of Kiwi to young Argentine director Alexis dos Santos's romantic vision of cosmopolitan 21st-century Bohemia. — BG
