(15) | Courtney Hunt | USA | 2008 | 97’

On the border of a Mohawk reservation located between New York State and Quebec, two women – one white (Melissa Leo) and one Mohawk (Misty Upham) – are drawn by the lure of ready cash into smuggling illegal immigrants into the United States across the treacherous frozen waters of the St Lawrence river. This taut, suspenseful thriller is a troubling of borders both cultural and national and testament to the virtues of communion, empathy and compassion. Tennessean writer/director Courtney Hunt’s film scooped the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance in 2008.

Ffilm gyffro yn llawn tyndra wedi ei gosod yng ngwlad y Mohawk rhwng Talaith Efrog Newydd a Quebec. Mae dwy fenyw yn cael eu denu gan arian i smyglo mewnfudwyr anghyfreithlon ar draws dyfroedd peryglus rhewedig yr Afon St Lawrence.

(15) | Duncan Jones | UK | 2009 | 96’

Sam Rockwell’s mining engineer is working for a corporation that’s found a new source of energy for clapped-out planet Earth, but as he nears the end of his three-year contract on the moon-base, cabin fever begins to take hold. This cleverly conceived and consistently intriguing old-school science fiction thriller eschews special effects and action-oriented clatter. Instead it delivers a cerebral adventure that’s as thought-provoking as it is thrilling, which nevertheless looks fantastic, from the authentic moon-base to the weird lunar surface. Taking its time to set up a very convincing future world before introducing a mind-bending turn of events, the film finally unloads a great pay-off.

Ffilm ffug wyddonol sy’n gyffrous ac yn afaelgar. Mae Sam yn beiriannwr sy’n gweithio i gwmni sy’n cynaeafu ac anfon ffurf newydd o ynni yn ôl i’r Ddaear er mwyn cynnal yr hen blaned ffaeledig. Ond tua diwedd ei gyfnod o dair blynedd yno, mae’n dechrau cael hen ddigon, ac yna mae pethau rhyfedd yn dechrau digwydd iddo.
