From Hilde, with Love

Screenings include a four-minute animated short, 'Little Shrew' directed by Kate Bush, before the main feature.

Berlin, 1942. A shy Hilde falls in love with Hans and gradually finds her place in the resistance group that would come to be known as the “Red Orchestra”. Together, they spend a beautiful summer where their relationship entwines with quiet acts of defiance.

But when the Gestapo arrests members of the group, Hilde and Hans are among their numbers and must find the strength to confront their situation.

'The story of the German resistance to the Nazi regime has been told before in books, documentaries and fictional features, but rarely so freshly and movingly as in this account' - Lee Marshall, Screen International

Dir. Kate Bush
A little shrew searches for Hope as she makes her way across a bombed-out city. Blissfully unaware of the dangers surrounding her, she journeys through a war-torn Land of the Giants. Stunned and caught up in an explosion as the city is being bombed during a drone attack, she recovers and manages to continue her search for Hope.
