New Europe Film Season, Edinburgh
As the EU expands, so too do film festivals that aim to present new European cinema in all its gritty glory. This year's tales of urban survival and cultural and geographical displacement come mainly from central and eastern Europe, with a sneaky entry from the not-quite-in-the-club-but-nearly Croatia, which offers Balkan war drama The Blacks. You can delve into the murky depths of the Warsaw criminal underworld in Snow White And Russian Red, or discover the sweet and surreal stylings of Latvian Signe Baumane's short films. There's also Zero, a brilliantly twisted tale of 24 stories of revenge, jealousy and despair in 24 hours from Polish director Pawel Borowski, and, from Hungary comes the Mike Leigh-esque I Am Not Your Friend, about the dark side of modern Budapest.

Cemetery Junction
Having conquered Hollywood, Ricky Gervais is coming home.

Released on 7 April.
A Single Man
The smart money says Colin Firth will be bringing home a certain gold, bald-headed statuette for his performance as a bereaved gay man in Los Angeles. Based on the 1964 novel by Christopher Isherwood, the movie – fashion designer Tom Ford's directorial debut – follows one day in the life of Firth's literature academic as he confronts his own mortality. Released on 12 February.
