　　Hollywood-style time travel tales like to focus their attention on cultural fads and fashions: clothes, music, slang, daily technologies. The ingeniously low-budget Irish sci-fi film LOLA has fun with all of that, but also investigates darker, more global questions like: what if Germany had won World War II?　　Pieced together in dazzling 16mm as an imaginary collage of interlocking audio-visual documents from the 1940s, Andrew Legge, directing his debut feature, conjures the lives of two gifted and lively sisters, Thomasina and Martha. Left to their own devices as children, the pair has managed to create a machine that receives media broadcasts from the future. In their personal, cloistered, punk paradise, they embrace the rebellious styles of an age to come – The Kinks, David Bowie – but also discover, when military personnel move in, that history is a dangerous game to toy with. The ultimate question becomes: if mass media can change the world, can cinema miraculously restore it?　　Just like the monument to bricolage created by its characters, LOLA is an inspired conceit in the style of Guy Maddin, Woody Allen’s Zelig (1983) and Peter Jackson’s Forgotten Silver (1996). It’s a surreal romp through scratches, glitches and speculative possibilities.

　　BBC Four has acquired Hidden Assets from DCD Rights, a new international crime drama shot in Ireland and Belgium starring Angeline Ball.　

BBC四频道从DCD版权公司收购了《Hidden Assets》，这是一部在爱尔兰和比利时拍摄的国际犯罪剧，由Angeline Ball主演。爱尔兰犯罪资产局的侦探埃默·贝瑞(鲍尔饰)领导了一次例行突袭，他发现一个小毒贩从一个看似不可追踪的来源获得了大量资金——不是现金，而是未经处理的钻石。当这些钻石与比利时的一系列爆炸事件有关时，埃默被迫与警察局长克里斯蒂安·德容合作。最终，他们联合起来，粉碎了一个政治阴谋，为经济利益煽动国内动乱;卷入这张贪婪之网的是布兰尼根家族，一个与安特卫普有联系的富有的爱尔兰王朝。陷入与家庭的斗智斗勇，Emer, Christian，和CAB团队必须跟着钱阻止另一次恐怖袭击-在它太迟之前。除了Angeline Ball, Wouter Hendrickx饰演Christian De Jong, Simone Kirby饰演Bibi Melnick。BBC节目采办主管苏·迪克斯说:“《隐藏资产》是一部令人满意的犯罪片、政治阴谋片和惊悚片的混合体。BBC的观众们会被粘在座位上直到最后!”隐藏资产是由Saffron Moon, Facet4Media和Potemkino制作的6 x 52系列。首席导演是Thaddeus O’sullivan, Kadir Balci负责在比利时的拍摄，由ifta提名编剧Peter McKenna和Morna Regan撰写，后者在2016年入选了第一届BBC戏剧室。
