A hidden gem among the new additions is a documentary called School Life from filmmakers Neasa Ní Chianáin and David Rane about two teachers nearing retirement at an Irish boarding school.

First premiering in 2016, the film did the festival rounds, starting at the prestigious International Documentary Festival Amsterdam and heading on to the Sundance Film Festival. It holds a 94% Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes and was described as "immersive, intimate, and charming" by Charlotte Harrison at VultureHound.

There's plenty on offer throughout January, so take a look below at everything coming to kick off the new year.
