Description: This film details the history of the Britpop band Oasis during their formative years and the height of their success in the 1990s. Weaving never-before-seen concert footage with candid interviews with band members (including brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher), it provides a firsthand account of the backstage sibling rivalry that eventually led to the breakup of the band. This film is being screened as part of KSU's Year of the United Kingdom to coincide with the start of the band's U.S. leg of their sold out "Oasis Live '25" worldwide tour, which reunites the brothers on stage for the first time since 2009.

Description: In 1939, newly created British intelligence agency MI6 recruits Cambridge mathematics alumnus Alan Turing to crack Nazi Germany's Enigma code -- which cryptanalysts had thought unbreakable. Turing's team, including Joan Clarke, analyze Enigma messages while he builds a machine to decipher them. Turing and team finally succeed, becoming heroes for greatly contributing to the Allied victory over the Axis powers in WW-II. But in 1952, Turing was prosecuted by the British government and sent to prison for engaging in homosexual acts. Following a campaign in 2009, British prime minister Gordon Brown made an official public apology for "the appalling way [Turing] was treated," and in 2013 Queen Elizabeth II granted him a posthumous pardon. This film is being shown as part of KSU's Year of the United Kingdom.
