Presence Film
Steven Soderbergh tests his directorial skills with this nifty paranormal narrative filmed completely from the perspective of a ghost.

It's a fun idea that avoids overstaying, with a twist that could catch you off guard. October 11th, afternoon and evening times, Sky Cinema Premiere

This Dramatic Portrait
In the battle between God and Mammon, the winner is obvious for materialism in this director's wonderfully garish film adaptation of the disgraced TV preacher and her felon spouse.
