Bli med og oppdag den hemmelige øya sammen med Finny og Leah! Om bord på Noahs ark, som for tiden flyter meningsløst rundt på havet, bor bestevennene Finny og Leah.

Og det med all maten som var igjen på båten! Mens Finny befinner seg i en koloni full av vesener som ligner merkelig mye på ham selv skjønner han at de er truet av en stor og farlig vulkan. I et kappløp mot tiden må Finny redde sine venner, finne familien sin igjen, og redde en hel koloni fra total ødeleggelse. Vil han klare det med hjelp fra sine gode venner?

RESISTANCE
JESSE EISENBERG, CLÉMENCE POÉSY, MATTHIAS SCHWEIGHÖFER
From the Moonwalk to Bip the Clown, Marcel Marceau’s influence as an entertainer is legendary. But as an underground French Resistance fighter, the untold story of his youth is as extraordinary as his artistic legacy. As France succumbed to the Occupation, Marcel and his family lived in fear of Nazi Commander Klaus Barbie, who was on a personal mission to crush the fledgling Resistance. With the war closing in, Marcel put aside his dreams of the spotlight for a life in the shadows. With a talent for forgery and a mischievous sense of humour, Marcel played a vital role in many dangerous missions, transporting children through the Alps to the safety of Switzerland.

DET FINNES INGEN DJEVEL
BARAN RASOULOF, ZHILA SHAHI, MOHAMMAD SEDDIGHIMEHR
Fjorårets gullbjørnvinner består av fire fortellinger fra dagens Iran. Fire vidt forskjellige fortellinger som speiles i ett og samme tema: dødsstraff. Eller rettere sagt, det vonde spørsmålet man som ufrivillig bøddel i et autoritært regime kan møte på: Ville du tatt noens liv for å spare ditt eget?
"KNALLSTERK FILM OM DØDSSTRAFF" NRK FILMPOLITIET
Med nervepirrende driv og en overraskende formmessig lekenhet leverer Mohammad Rasoulof (Mannen mot strømmen) en knyttneve av en film. Regissøren, som er ilagt arbeidsforbud av staten, legger ingenting imellom i sin kritikk av hjemlandets avstraffelsesmetoder og skjebner som hører dertil. Sjelden har noen balansert nyansene mellom håp og håpløshet med en slik finesse.

Here is a family club which pulled itself, phoenix-like, from the ashes of the horrific Munich air disaster to become champions of European football, committing to a stunning, relentlessly attacking style and elevating working class boys to the status of gods: Charlton, Best, Cantona, Beckham and Ronaldo.

FEAR OF RAIN
KATHERINE HEIGL, HARRY CONNICK JR., MADISON ISEMAN
For teenager Rain Burroughs (Madison Iseman), a diagnosis with schizophrenia means that every day is a struggle as she tries to figure out which of the disturbing images, harrowing voices, and traumatic feelings she experiences are real and which are all in her mind. But when Rain insists against her parents’ (Katherine Heigl and Harry Connick, Jr.) advice that the shadows and cries from her neighbor’s attic are hiding a dark secret, she enlists help from Caleb (Israel Broussard), the charmingly awkward new boy at school -- who himself may not be real. Written and directed by Castille Landon (After We Fell, After Ever Happy), Fear of Rain is a terrifying thriller that takes you inside Rain’s mind as she confronts the frightening hallucinations of her imagination to determine whether there is real horror hiding right next door.

THE POSTCARD KILLINGS

New York detective Jacob Kanon has a daughter. A beautiful, talented daughter who is brutally murdered as she honeymoons in blissful ignorance. Soon after, the strangest of postcards arrives on the desk of Swedish art critic Dessie Larsson... Across Europe, couples are being ruthlessly butchered in deliberate acts of violence with no end in sight. The only clues, are picture postcards sent to seemingly random journalists by a narcissistic killer, heralding the next horrific crime. Seen from the joint perspective of both the hunted and the hunters, THE POSTCARD KILLINGS digs deep into the most frightening aspects of the human psyche, drawing Jacob and Dessie into a nightmare from which there might be no escape. As the narrative explodes with operatic ferocity, our protagonists find themselves with an impossible choice to make.

While pinned in this crucial strategical position, the members of the company cope with their fear while also finding the strength to believe in their unlikely chance of survival. With the weight of his soldiers’ lives on his shoulders, the company commander faces the choice between sending his unit to a sure death in battle or death by court-martial.
