Nymphomaniac: One Night Stand, Nationwide
That Lars von Trier, he's a naughty one, eh? And befitting its subject matter, his latest grandiose provocation has been preceded by a prolonged foreplay-session of teaser trailers and titillating rumours. Now, for one night only, you can watch both halves of the movie back to back before it goes on release in two halves later this month. Despite being four hours long and sexually explicit, it's far from the sado-masochistic experience it sounds, with digressions into baroque music, fly fishing and dessert forks, and a steady procession of familiar faces including Uma Thurman, Christian Slater, Jamie Bell and Willem Dafoe. Afterwards, you'll be rewarded with a satellite Q&A, live from the Curzon Chelsea, in which three of the film's stars – Von Trier veteran Stellan Skarsgård and Britons Stacy Martin and Sophie Kennedy-Clark – will be talking to Edith Bowman.

Keswick film festival
The centenary of Keswick's Alhambra Cinema adds a sense of occasion to this year's festival. Past hits such as Quo Vadis – the 1950s one, standing in for the 1913 version that was the Alhambra's first movie – sit alongside local fare, such as Lad: A Yorkshire Story, but world cinema is the real draw here. There's an intriguing set of Bangladeshi art movies, including the country's Oscar entry this year, Television. Special guest is Dame Janet Suzman, who appears in South African opener Felix.

Borderlines film festival, Herefordshire, Shropshire and Powys
Go to town without leaving the countryside at "Britain's biggest rural film festival", which delivers new and exotic cinema. Recent hits like 12 Years A Slave and Nebraska will be screening, but if you prefer something further-flung there's a season of sea films for landlocked punters (like JC Chandor's All Is Lost). Francine Stock will present her favourite French films, there are recent foreign-language movies such as Bafta winner The Great Beauty, plus special screenings – like Human Traffic in Hereford's Jailhouse club. Closer to home, Trevor Eve comes to Hereford with the self-explanatory film Death Of A Farmer, directed by his son Jack.
Various venues, Fri to 16 Mar
Pan-Asia film festival London, Leeds and Glasgow
From Iran to Japan, this festival already has a lot ground to cover, but there's much crossover with western culture to be found as well. Like Honour, an up-to-the-minute take on British-Asian honour killings starring Aiysha Hart and Paddy Considine. Or Bhopal: A Prayer For Rain, a dramatisation of the industrial disaster mixing Indian actors with the likes of Martin Sheen and Mischa Barton. Elsewhere there's Tetsuichirô Tsuta's critically lauded The Tale Of Iya, and Ken Watanabe presents a Japanese version of Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven. Other fresh new angles include a Twitter-inspired Thai drama and an exposé of upper-class Iranians. It's a multi-city affair too, with satellite screenings at Glasgow film festival (Fri & 2 Mar) and Leeds' Hyde Park Picturehouse (4 Mar).
Various venues, Wed to 9 Mar
