New Year’s Eve. 1999. Y2K is nigh. Minnie Vernon (Browning), a qualified anaesthetist, witnesses her ex have a baby with his new partner, and realises there’s something missing in her life. That something could be the return of her on-again-off-again-old-flame Joe (Keenan), who’s back from New York to ring in the new millennium with their closest friends. Armed with a mysterious bottle of tequila, Minnie arrives at a swanky beach house, only to discover that Joe’s brought his new girlfriend. Things go downhill fast and when the clock strikes Y2K, Joe proposes. Minnie turns to the tequila, takes a shot and is transported back in time to the moment she first arrived at the party. Minnie realises she has a bottle’s worth of shots to win Joe’s heart and start her millennium right. But as she tries to alter the course of events, things quickly unravel: no matter what she does, she can’t escape herself, and ultimately must learn to live with the consequences of her choices. ONE MORE SHOT is a time loop comedy that poses the question: does a woman have to tear the fabric of space and time to have it all?

SAIPAN is the thrilling story of football player Roy Keane and his manager Mick McCarthy, and the events leading up to Ireland’s incendiary 2002 World Cup campaign. The intense rivalry between these two personalities transcended the game, gripping an entire nation and the sporting world. On the surface, the feud was all about standards, but deep down it was a hugely emotive story of two men whose rivalry and contempt came to surpass the sport they loved. This is the definitive account of one of the most fractious fallings-out in the history of sport.

Ira Sachs’s new film, PETER HUJAR’S DAY, stars Ben Whishaw and Rebecca Hall in a richly cinematic rendering of a conversation recorded in 1974 between photographer Peter Hujar and writer Linda Rosenkrantz. Their talk that day focused on a single 24 hours in the life of Hujar, the brilliant and famously uncompromising artist who was one of the most important figures in downtown New York’s legendary cultural scene of the 70s and 80s. Set entirely in Linda’s Manhattan apartment, the film freely and imaginatively recreates that long-ago afternoon and the wonderfully discursive exchange between these two singular individuals. As the photographer vividly describes interactions with leading cultural figures of the day, including Allen Ginsberg and Susan Sontag, as well the challenges of living on limited financial resources in 70s New York, PETER HUJAR’S DAY transforms unexpectedly into a Bloomsday-like rumination on both an artist’s life and time itself.
