Winter 2012 season -- the beginning

We have been slow to start the process of selecting the winter 2012 season. So far, we have chosen the first four films, beginning with January 11. By the time we screen the first film, the entire season should be in place.

Here is what we have lined up so far:

For January 11, 2012:
Neds, 2010
Director: Peter Mullan
Origin: UK | France | Italy
Languages: English | Scots
Running time: 124 minutes

This intense social drama follows young Joe McGill (Gregg Forrest) in 1972 Glasgow as he enters middle school and is ostracized for his intellect and brother Benny's (Joe Szula) fierce reputation. Joe (Conor McCarron) follows in Benny's footsteps to become a NED: a non-educated delinquent. Tormented by school bullies and his alcoholic father (director Peter Mullan), Joe is forced to transform into a vicious thug in order to survive. (from Netflix.com)
