JUNE 1982 - The First Lebanon War.

A lone tank and a paratroopers platoon are dispatched to search a hostile town - a simple mission that turns into a nightmare. The four members of a tank crew find themselves in a violent situation that they cannot contain.

Motivated by fear and the basic instinct of survival, they desperately try not to lose themselves in the chaos of war.

Audiences at Southampton University’s The Phoenix will be shown 2009’s Venice International Film Festival nominated Lebanon on Wednesday.

HARBOUR Lights will treat film lovers to a showing of modern world cinema favourite Dogtooth on Wednesday.

Three young people exist in a strange world of their parents' devising in this bizarre drama from writer and director Yorgos Lanthimos.

The teenagers and twenty somethings have never been allowed to leave the house and their knowledge of the outside world has been strictly controlled by their parents.

The only contact the youngsters have with people outside their family is Christina, a woman who visits and sets off a chain reaction of events that has terrible consequences for everyone involved.

Greek Kynodontas (aka Dogtooth) was an official selection at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival.
