When time stands still and all around you shudders to a halt, we seek inspiration beyond our reality and find refuge in the magic of film. Taking us up into its arms and away into its dreams, film will forever be our saviour. Showing us the light that bursts forth from beyond the storm, film shelters all its children in its warmth and wonder and promise of other worlds. In film, we trust.
And so we take this opportunity to reclaim moments of a broken year and celebrate the films from 2020 that helped us stay safe and keep our faith in a better tomorrow. It’s our annual massive list!
