Oscar-Winning Helen Mirren tells the story of Anne Frank's life through the pages of her world-famous diary, a story that has made the tragedy of the Holocaust known to readers all over the world.
What would Anne’s life have been like had she survived Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen? What would have happened to the hopes and dreams she wrote about in her diaries? What could she have told us about persecution, about concentration camps? How would she have interpreted the reality of today, the rekindling of antisemitism and new racism?
This emotive telling is entwined with the stories of 5 Holocaust survivors ( Arianna Szörenyi, Sarah Lichtsztejn-Montard, Helga Weiss and sisters Andra and Tatiana Bucci) who shared Anne’s same fate of deportation, suffering and were denied their childhood and adolescence, but were fortunately able to go on and live the life that Anne was denied.
In addition to insight from historians and professors, Martina, one of the thousands of teenagers who feel close to Anne guides the audience through some of the key places in Anne’s short life, as well as those of the survivors. She wants to know about the story of the Jewish teenager who became a symbol of the greatest tragedy to befall the 20th Century. An evocative documentary which brings Anne’s tragic, yet incredible, story to life and explores why this story has become such a historic journal that holds such great relevance today.
Anne Frank: Parallel Stories can be seen in select cinemas from 27th of January. Participating sites can be found and tickets for the event booked via https://www.annefrankparallelstories.com

Legendary movie ‘villain’ Jasper Cole (MacGruber, The Purge Anarchy, American Horror Story) on why his look lends so well to ‘nasty’ roles and playing a desert rat in his new film Anyone Home?
Guess it goes without saying, since you’ve won awards for those turns, but you make for one heck of a villain Jasper! Is it funner playing the bad guy?
I love playing the bad guys. It took me YEARS to get type cast and to be on a LIST of any kind so I'm forever grateful. I always try to bring my own twist to these roles. I like to bring humor and sarcasm to the bad guys if I can, which is closer to my real personality.
Do you have a favorite part?
That’s a tough one. I have favorite parts in different genres. In theatre my favorite role was playing "Harold" in the classic BOYS IN THE BAND which I did in 2000 in LA. On film, there have been so many great roles but one of my favorites will always be ZEKE PLESHETTE in MACGRUBER. It was a big break for me ten years ago and it opened lots of doors in my career. On the TV side, wow...it's like SOPHIE'S CHOICE lol trying to pick a favorite. More recently, it would be playing "Jacque De Leon" on TRAINING DAY opposite the iconic Bill Paxton in one of his last roles. On the comedy side it would be playing "The Oolong Slayer" on BROOKLYN NINE-NINE opposite SNL alum Andy Sanberg and the amazing Andre Baugher.
Do you find that you’re regularly hired to play a certain type? And is that usually a villain – like the one you played in “MacGruber” and “The Purge : Anarchy”?
Yeah it has a lot to do with my LOOK. I bring a certain intensity and severity on screen with my face and hair and beard so it lends itself to these Villainous roles. Thankfully, casting director and Producers now know me in these roles so I'm blessed to be in a great group of fellow character actors whose work I greatly admire. I'm just always grateful to be in the mix at all.
TV seems to be a lot of your bread-and-butter. Is that where the gold is these days, too, material-wise?
TV has always been my goal as an actor. When I moved here in 1987 I was hyper focused on comedy and always thought sit-coms would be my career path lol and here I am now as "Hollywood's Bad Guy" playing Serial killers, Drug addicts/dealers, Homeless characters and villains. Tell God you're plans, right? I love the steady schedule and pace of a series. My dream job would be to be part of an ensemble TV series and then do Theatre when I can. I'm dying to get back to the stage. I used to do at least one play a year and it's been over 7 years now.
But you’re still a big supporter of independent film, too - - tell us about the latest film, “Anyone Home”, its part horror film – part female empowerment piece, right!?
I'm so proud of ANYONE HOME? and the great response it's getting from audiences. Bravo to Writer/Director/Producer Patrick Cunningham and Co-Writer/Producer William Frank for the amazing work they did on this film and for the incredible cast and crew they assembled. It was a true labor of love for all of us and it took quite a long time for this film to finally come out but it's well worth the wait. Thanks to caster Kendra Patterson for offering me the role of WALKER, a desert Rat living off the grid in his RV, who stumbles into a situation that goes from bad to worse very quickly, It’s very timely and is a look into Mental Illness, The Opioid Crisis, the housing crash and the lack of affordable housing for people especially single Mothers. It shines a light on today's society and how it's all about THE HAVE AND THE HAVE NOTS. No real middle class anymore.

From directors Joe Bland and Grant Martin comes a visionary new sci-fi thriller that will proves everything we know about the weather is… wrong. Josiah Authier and Grant Martin star in Ellipse, an exhilarating new science-fiction survival jaunt on DVD and Digital November 5.
When a man has lost everything, it’s easy to self-destruct. Alcohol, silence, and self-loathing help to speed up the process, however, life must go on… Our story finds us during a typical work day for an intergalactic military surveyor and his canine partner on a solo fight near an undefined, oval-shaped planet. Because of his self-destructive coping methods, a simple fly-by soon turns into an emergency crash landing… leaving a man and his dog in dire straits. It soon becomes apparent that because the planet is elliptical in shape and has no fixed axis, the crew can forget everything they know about weather patterns, gravity, and time. Stranded and stripped of the chemicals to feed his addiction, a man and his dog must face an unforgiving planet with impending death lurking all around them. Through it all, the captain’s painful memories and haunting dreams of his deceased fiancé resonate through his mind, forcing the captain to face the person he fears the most… himself.
Benjamin Berman’s acclaimed feature directorial debut starts as the story of The Amazing Johnathan, an extraordinary magician who built a career out of shock and deception in the 1980s, which transforms into a bizarre story about the unravelling of the documentarian.
After Johnathan is diagnosed with a terminal heart condition and given one year to live, he’s forced to retire his act. Cut to three years later: Johnathan is not dead, much to everyone’s amazement, and documentarian Ben Berman films the illusionist on an epic comeback tour. But as their mutual journey kicks off, Johnathan drops a bombshell that sends the film spiraling into uncertainty. Embracing this unforeseen obstacle, Ben delves deeper to determine what is truth and what is illusion. Built into the heart of this quick-witted and highly Meta story is an indelible commentary on the process and ethics of making a documentary today. Issues of negotiation and access become the central threads that reveal, and further cloud, our understanding of this elusive protagonist.
THE AMAZING JOHNATHAN DOCUMENTARY WILL BE RELEASED IN THE UK AND IRELAND ON 22 NOVEMBER 2019

Ewan McGregor, Rebecca Ferguson and newcomer Kyliegh Curran star in the supernatural thriller, directed by Mike Flanagan, from his own screenplay based upon the novel by Stephen King.
Still irrevocably scarred by the trauma he endured as a child at the Overlook, Dan Torrance has fought to find some semblance of peace. But that peace is shattered when he encounters Abra, a courageous teenager with her own powerful extrasensory gift, known as the “shine.” Instinctively recognizing that Dan shares her power, Abra has sought him out, desperate for his help against the merciless Rose the Hat and her followers, The True Knot, who feed off the shine of innocents in their quest for immortality.
Forming an unlikely alliance, Dan and Abra engage in a brutal life-or-death battle with Rose. Abra’s innocence and fearless embrace of her shine compel Dan to call upon his own powers as never before—at once facing his fears and reawakening the ghosts of the past.
