Fans of the first Chicken Run will remember how Ginger the plucky hen led her flock to freedom from evil Mrs Tweedy’s battery farm. Now she has found her life’s dream: a peaceful island sanctuary, far from the dangers of the finger-lickin’ human world, where she and cocky Rocky can raise their chick Molly. Back on the mainland, however, all of chicken-kind faces a new horror: a farm so deceptively alluring that bird-brained poultry flock there voluntarily – only to get the chop. When Molly falls into this bird-trap, Ginger and her team go full Mission Impossible to get her out . “Last time, we broke out of a chicken farm,” says Ginger, rallying the troops. “Well, this time, we’re breaking in!”

STATE OF SILENCE

Director: Santiago Maza

Four Mexican journalists who risk their lives to report on their country’s violent “narco-politics” talk in depth about their experiences, the dangers they face and the crucial importance of independent journalism. Mexico has been the frontline of the so-called “war on drugs” for two decades, where the line between law and crime is blurred – the continuing threats against journalists have effectively created dangerous zones of silence. Jesús Medina, Juan de Dios García Davish, María de Jesús Peters and March Vizcarra are committed to breaking that silence, reporting on local corruption, the theft of water from farmers by the drug lords and cartel-related shootings. Medina describes his job as being an “amplifier” for ordinary people who, without a free and committed press, have no voice.

ZORRO

Director: Jean Baptiste Saurel

In 1821, after the unexpected death of his father, Don Diego de la Vega (the always charismatic Jean Dujardin) is named mayor of Los Angeles, a city facing massive financial trouble and with greedy businessman Don Emmanuel close to taking over the city of angels. Don Diego feels that the answer is to bring back Zorro, but it's been 20 years since he's worn the mask, and he isn't getting any younger. While the old costume just about fits, Don Diego struggles to balance his dual identity as both Zorro and mayor. And though his wife Gabriella is unaware of his secret identity, she certainly takes an interest in the mystery man in the black cape. A humorous reimaging of the legend.

SABA

Director: Maksud Hossain

Saba, 25, lives in Dhaka with her demanding mother Shirin, a paraplegic whose frustrations and rage often find a target in the daughter who cares for her. When Shirin’s worsening condition requires surgery it falls to Saba to find the money to pay for it. Securing a job at a seedy Shisha bar, Saba befriends the manager Ankur and, for the first time, pictures what a life of her own could look like. Maksud Hossain’s debut feature is a close-up look at a complicated bond between mother and daughter that lurches between love and guilt, co-dependence and the longing for autonomy - but it is also a social drama, detailing the hardships that underlay the riots in Bangladesh earlier this year.
