Altitude Brothers, The

Synopsis:
Set in 1967 at the height of the Cold War, The Altitude Brothers is based on the true story of Vladimir Komarov, the first man to go to space twice. The launch of Soyuz 1, untested and behind schedule is a final effort to stay in the running. Two friends, thousands of miles apart must grapple with a flawed machine in order to snatch the promise of glory from the jaws of disaster. A true story of humble beginnings and lofty ambitions, of pioneers and flyboys, all underscored with a live soundtrack and vodka by the bottle: a Russian perspective on the race to the Moon.

Weald

Weald
On a remote livery yard in rural England, Jim arrives 'home' after eight years away, in need of work. It didn't end so well last time, but he's sure that this time it'll be different... Sam, as old as the fixtures and fittings themselves, reluctantly agrees - there's work to be done after all. As the men attempt to pick up from where they left off, fresh cracks appear beside old wounds. Things have changed. But the world can only be held at bay for so long before the two men will have to answer for their actions. A terse and delicate dissection of male emotions from a rural perspective: fathers and sons, honour and legacy, molasses and mud.
