‘If you could revisit a moment from your childhood, which one would you choose?’ It’s a compelling question, and one that is explored in the new British movie, ‘Dimensions.’

‘Dimensions’ tells the story of a young boy called Stephen, a brilliant young boy who lives in Cambridge, England, in what appears to be the 1920s – but nothing in Stephen’s life is quite as it seems. His world is turned upside down upon meeting a charismatic and inspirational professor at a garden party who demonstrates to Stephen and his friends what life would be like if they themselves were merely one, or two, dimensional beings. He then proceeds to explain that by manipulating other dimensions, time travel may actually be possible. As Stephen’s life unfolds, events lead him to dedicate himself to turning the Professor’s theories of time travel into reality. Jealousy, love, obsession, temptation and greed surround him, influencing his fragile
mind and the direction of his work.

The film is written and directed by husband and wife team Ant Neely and Sloane U’Ren, who between them have credits in features including ‘Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire’, ‘Six Feet Under’ and ‘Batman Begins’.

‘Dimensions’ also boasts a very talented cast of homegrown actors such as Henry-Lloyd Hughes (‘Inbetweeners’) Camilla Rutherford (‘The Darjeeling Limited’) and Patrick Godfrey (‘The Duchess’).

Described as part H.G. Wells’ ‘Time Machine’ and part ‘A Beautiful Mind’, the film premiers alongside ‘Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy’ this Thursday at the Cambridge Film Festival.

The trailer for the new Steven Spielberg movie ‘The War Horse’ gives a sneak peek of the adventure epic.

The official synopsis:

From director Steven Spielberg comes “War Horse,” an epic adventure for audiences of all ages. Set against a sweeping canvas of rural England and Europe during the First World War, “War Horse” begins with the remarkable friendship between a horse named Joey and a young man called Albert, who tames and trains him. When they are forcefully parted, the film follows the extraordinary journey of the horse as he moves through the war, changing and inspiring the lives of all those he meets—British cavalry, German soldiers, and a French farmer and his granddaughter—before the story reaches its emotional climax in the heart of No Man’s Land.

The First World War is experienced through the journey of this horse—an odyssey of joy and sorrow, passionate friendship and high adventure. “War Horse” is one of the great stories of friendship and war— a successful book, it was turned into a hugely successful international theatrical hit that is arriving on Broadway next year. It now comes to screen in an epic adaptation by one of the great directors in film history.

The film will be released on December 28 2011 in the US and 13 January 2012 in the UK.
