We’ve just got back from watching the first Isle of Wight Film Festival feature film in The Sacred Cinema.
They’ve got a great set-up down there and with two more feature films on tonight, it’s well worth heading down.
At 7.30pm you can see the British Première of Vegas, the multi-award winning film from the Norwegian director, Gunnar Vikene. Vegas is the story of Thomas, Marianne and Terje – three teenagers with nowhere to go. After witnessing his mother being beaten up, Thomas is sent to a young people’s refuge. No one will tell him where his brother is, and Thomas vows to find him.
The Guard
This is followed at 9.30pm by The Guard. An unorthodox Irish policeman with a confrontational personality is teamed up with an uptight FBI agent to investigate an international drug-smuggling ring.
Check out the full details and trailers for all feature films in the Isle of Wight Film Festival.
Tickets for all films are available on the door for £5 per person (cash only)
