Mum, Dad, brother, adopted sister and Grandad are all at it - all but 15-year-old Romain, in fact, who fears there's no end in sight for his virginity. But when he is caught in the act of filming himself in a bout of classroom onanism, a sudden new awareness and openness is triggered across the whole family.NEW PERSPECTIVESUK PREMIERESauna on Moon(Chang'E)Zou Peng/China/2011/93 minCast: Wu Yuchi, Yang Xiaomin, Lei Ting, Zhan Yi, Meng YanMON 25 JUNE 18:30 FILMHOUSE 2SUN 1 JULY 21:30 FILMHOUSE 2PRICE: £9.00 (£7.50 CONCS)Guangdong, China.

The core focus of this programme investigates how the individual orients and defines itself in reaction to collective, shared history and the fragments of the past half remembered, invented or fabricated by themselves and others. How does this refracted burden define how we conceive ourselves in the present? Fragments of family Super 8 films, found photographs and unusual parallels serve as tools to interrogate, question and explore stories of self and history.MICHAEL POWELL AWARD COMPETITIONUK PREMIEREShadow DancerJames Marsh/UK, Ireland/2012/102 minCast: Clive Owen, Andrea Riseborough, Aidan Gillen, Domhnall Gleeson, Bríd Brennan, David WilmotFRI 29 JUNE 20:15 FILMHOUSE 1SAT 30 JUNE 19:30 FILMHOUSE 1PRICE: £9.00 (£7.50 CONCS)When a young IRA member is forced to turn informant for MI5, nobody expects the disastrous chain of events that is about to unfold.
