An annual film festival with a difference – each year curated around a unique theme... 2025 is Alive!
What does it mean to be alive? Not dead, yes. But so much more, especially when it is placed in the hands of filmmakers from around the globe, each bringing their nuances and cultural themes. It is a universal theme that can be applied to many experiences as part of our human condition.
This year, see what these international storytellers have done to bring the big screen ALIVE at Star Cinema!
Alive (1993, M)
In 1972, stranded after a plane crash in the Andes mountains, individual members of Uruguay’s rugby team respond differently. Group leader Nando (Ethan Hawke) tries to keep everyone’s spirits up; medical student Roberto (Josh Hamilton) diligently treats cases of frostbite and gangrene; loose cannon Antonio (Vincent Spano) gradually loses his composure. Once all available food stuffs run out, the group faces a terrible dilemma…
An incredible true story. Immersive cinema!
