Opening as Spock (Quinto) battles to stop a volcano on the planet Nibiru from destroying the Enterprise, Abrams’ second STAR TREK outing visually out-stuns even his first. But Abrams knows better than simply to gorge on CGI, and with Cumberbatch as the heinous villain, plus many old hands back on board, he’s built a narrative spine that’s as robust and complex as the Enterprise itself.

From 10 May

On an island there is a boat, and in that boat lives a man called Mud (McConaughey), whose past is as murky as the Mississippi that swirls around him. When 14-year-old Ellis (Sheridan) and Neckbone (Lofland) venture across the river, the trio’s surprise encounter drags them all into a world of bounty hunters, unrequited love, and those strange, magical moments that transform boys into men. Contains moderate violence and sex references.

Director: Régis Roinsard. Starring: Romain Duris, Déborah François. France 2012. 111 mins. French with English subtitles.

Director: Baz Luhrmann. Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, Tobey Maguire, Joel Edgerton. Australia/USA 2013. 143 mins. This glorious 3D adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s jazz-era novel has Leonardo DiCaprio as the maverick playboy Jay Gatsby, Carey Mulligan (DRIVE) as Gatsby’s love interest Daisy, Joel Edgerton (ZERO DARK THIRTY) as her philandering husband, and Tobey Maguire (SPIDER-MAN) as the writer who witnesses their unravelling. Contains moderate sex, violence and bloody images.

From 24 May

In 1950s Normandy, country girl Rose (François, THE PAGE TURNER) follows her dream of becoming a secretary. When her new boss Louis (Duris, THE BEAT THAT MY HEART SKIPPED) decides to enter her for the local speed-typing competition, he moves her into his country house to oversee the training personally. If you combined the wit and charm of THE ARTIST with the period feel of Mad Men, the result would be this enjoyable romcom. Contains a moderate sex scene.

made of stone

Director: Todd Phillips. Starring: Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helms, Justin Bartha. USA 2013. TBC mins.

(Cert TBC)

Director: Shane Meadows. Featuring: The Stone Roses. UK 2013. TBC mins.

In the final instalment of the hilariously hapless trilogy, Alan, Stu, Phil and Doug are all present and politically incorrect, abetted by Jeffrey Tambor as Alan’s father and Heather Graham as Jade, Stu’s accidental wife from episode one. Standout moments include Alan salaciously sharing a lollipop with BRIDESMAIDS’ Melissa McCarthy, and his soon-to-be immortal line, “I just bought a giraffe, my life is perfect”, just before it patently isn’t.

In 2012 a resurrection no one thought possible took place when legendary band The Stone Roses reformed after 16 years. With unprecedented access to the members, MADE OF STONE is a revealing journey through the life of one of the most revered and influential bands in British music history. Acclaimed filmmaker Shane Meadows brings his unique directorial style, humour and emotional depth to the film, capturing the band at work and in their everyday lives as they rehearsed for their much-anticipated homecoming gigs at Manchester’s Heaton Park.

From 7 June

DOCS

Director: Jay Bulger. Featuring: Ginger Baker, Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Femi Kuti. USA 2012. 92 mins. Legendary drummer Ginger Baker was inspired by great post-war jazzers like Phil Seamen and Max Roach, but is better known for playing with Cream and Traffic. Bulger’s film visits the famously irascible musician on his South African farm, and features engaging interviews with past musical partners as well as fantastic period footage.

the iceman

Director: Ariel Vromen. Starring: Michael Shannon, Chris Evans, Ray Liotta, Winona Ryder. USA 2012. 106 mins. Michael Shannon (TAKE SHELTER, PREMIUM RUSH) is real-life freelance killer Richard Kuklinski, who does the dirty work for a very nasty gangster (Ray Liotta). Shannon’s air of quietly psychopathic menace ensures that THE ICEMAN exerts an unyielding grip.

different and brilliant in our weekly slot.

Every kid growing up feels ‘different’ sometimes and asks who they are and why they are here, but for young Clark Kent (Cavill) the answers are hardly reassuring. Sent to planet Earth by his father (Crowe), Clark is raised by his adoptive parents (Lane and Costner) to always do the right thing. As a young man he finds that doing the right thing means using his alien powers to fight General Zod (Shannon, MUD, THE ICEMAN) and become a symbol of hope – for humanity in general and Lois Lane (Adams) in particular. Co-written and co-produced by Christopher Nolan (THE DARK KNIGHT TRILOGY), Snyder’s (WATCHMEN, 300) reboot of the DC Comics franchise is darker and more serious than previous versions, without sacrificing any of the adrenaline-pumping spectacle that we would expect from Krypton’s greatest son.

From 14 June

much ado about nothing (Cert TBC)

Director: Joss Whedon. Starring: Alexis Denisof, Amy Acker, Fran Kranz. USA 2012. TBC mins. Shot in the spirit of the play, Whedon’s version of Shakespeare’s romantic comedy was filmed in his Santa Monica mansion in just 12 days. The simplicity of the production is enhanced by the decision to shoot in monochrome and to retain much of Shakespeare’s dialogue, although its more flowery corners have been rounded off by Whedon’s script in deference to modern (and younger) ears. That strategy is supported by a cast of mainly young TV actors from Whedon’s unofficial repertory company, with Acker and Denisof especially effective as the combative ex-lovers Beatrice and Benedick, who are persuaded by some visiting Italian noblemen to kiss and make up. A pacey, amusing work that even Shakespeare-phobes will find engaging.

Director: Cristian Mungiu. Starring: Cosmina Stratan, Cristina Flutur, Valeriu Andriuta. Romania/France/Belgium 2012. 152 mins. Romanian with English subtitles. Romania’s official entry for the Oscars is a taut morality drama. Alina returns from working in Germany to find her lover Voichita living in a convent, from which she becomes determined to extricate her – with terrible consequences. One of Romania’s sharpest young writer-directors, Mungiu draws tremendous performances from his young cast. Contains infrequent strong language and sexualised nudity.

Tuesday 21 May shell 5 Director: Scott Graham. Starring: Chloe Pirrie, Joseph Mawle, Morven Christie, Kate Dickie. UK 2012. 91 mins. Scottish director Graham takes us to the bleak, splendidly photographed Highlands for this portrait of a 17-year-old girl. Shell lives with her father in a barely viable petrol station, yearning for affection and touching the hearts of all who meet her. This small but deeply affecting film stays with you long after viewing.

Tuesday 28 May reality 5 Director: Matteo Garrone. Starring: Aniello Arena, Loredana Simioli, Raffaele Ferrante. Italy/France 2012. 116 mins. Italian with English subtitles. Winner of the 2012 Grand Jury Prize at Cannes, Garrone’s long-awaited follow-up to GOMORRAH is built around a larger-than-life Neapolitan fishmonger’s tragi-comic efforts to realise his dream of appearing on reality TV. The excellent performances, script and direction slyly highlight the absurdity of his endeavour.

BRICK LANE director Gavron spent three years filming in Niaqornat, a remote Inuit hamlet whose 59 inhabitants were under threat of government relocation. Their harsh lifestyles contrast with their quirky humour - and with their determination to reopen an abandoned fish factory in order to save their community. Contains one use of strong language.

Director: Isao Takahata. Voices: Tsutomu Tatsumi, Ayano Shiraishi. Japan 1988. 90 mins. Japanese with English subtitles.

A superbly animated tale, MY NEIGHBOUR TOTORO is not only one of the studio’s most praised works but is also considered to be one of the best-loved family flims of all time.

GRAVE OF THE FIREFLIES is an indelible anime about a brother and sister trying to survive during the Second World War. Stunningly rendered, this is a brave animation that does not flinch from the true human tragedy of war. Contains moderate war horror.

rockshow ROCKSHOW is a 1980 concert film of Wings, directed by Paul McCartney, shot during the band’s 1976 North American tour.

This was part of the Wings Over the World Tour, which also spawned the triple live album Wings Over America.

STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN is fondly regarded as being the closest in spirit to the 1966-69 TV series that spawned it. Admiral Kirk (Shatner) escapes the tedium of a desk job to join Mr Spock (Nimoy) and Dr Leonard ‘Bones’ McCoy (Kelley) on another space mission. Contains moderate horror and threat.

This summer we are celebrating our first decade in the building. with an exhibition that reveals more about the exciting activities that happen behind the scenes. For Turning FACT Inside Out, a selection of international artists tackle some of the pressing, and sometimes controversial, political issues of the day in an exhibition that will take over the entire building – and beyond. Paris-based duo HeHe address the topic of fracking by transforming Gallery 1 into a fracking landscape and warn of subterranean noises and ground tremors. Polish artist Katarzyna Krakowiak is turning the building into a listening device and Liverpool-based artist and activist Nina Edge presents a communication experiment using the voice recognition system Siri.

Galleries 1 / 2 / Atrium / The Wall / Public Realm FREE Entry Sun – Fri: 12pm – 6pm Sat: 11am – 6pm – Schools Tours, activities and resources are available for schools. Please contact anna.kronenburg@fact.co.uk

The exhibition spills onto Ropewalks Square with Steve Lambert’s work Capitalism Works For Me! True/False, and change the local landscape using Manifest.AR’s augmented reality games which allow you to erase cars and grow personal forests. Take a bike ride through an alternative tourist route of Liverpool with Uncoded Collective’s new project TranseuropeSlow, which brings to life hidden corners, and hidden communities of the city.

Through activities and practical advice sessions held in Your Housing schemes across Sefton, Liverpool and Cheshire, artist collective Re-Dock and Jon Turton have worked with groups of residents aged 55 – 95 to explore the outer limits of new technologies.

FACT Connects Space FREE Entry Sun – Fri: 12pm – 6pm Sat: 11am – 6pm

The groups have worked with iPads, Skype, social media and online research tools, drawing inspiration from their experiences of early electronic communications technology.

Discover over 100 music video masterpieces from their precursors on film through to the present, and with a look to their future. The exhibition illustrates the development of the music video as an artistic genre and pays homage to a medium which unites a multitude of artistic forms of expression: media art, painting, photography, film, performance, and music. #ArtofPopVideo

Galleries 1 / 2 / Atrium / The Wall FREE Entry Sun – Fri: 12pm – 6pm Sat: 11am – 6pm

Exhibition Related Events A series of prototype devices have been constructed which investigate questions such as "what message would you send to your younger self?”; "can we send a message into space?"; and "what are the uses of telepresence in an everyday residential setting?" Take a look at what the participants have created, and test out the artworks yourself.

Celebrating Ten Years Of FACT

What's the best thing about FACT? The staff are fantastic - they are so committed to delivering great outcomes; whether that be amazing experiences for our audiences in the building, engaging participatory projects in our communities or dynamic online content to enjoy anywhere in the world. What's making you excited at the moment? At this very moment it would have to be a trip to our fab new cafe, The Garden by Leaf, as I am having mid afternoon munchies. If you haven’t visited yet, you really should the food is really great and service is excellent. Who would be your collaboration dream team? Assuming I can bring them back from the dead I'd go with Alfred Hitchcock and Salvador Dali, I think they only worked together once. I remember Hitchcock saying how he had to explain to Dali that he couldn't pour live ants over Ingrid Bergman and thinking there should be more of those conversations in film making! Tell us ....(a fact, a secret or a joke) I heard this one at the weekend which was particularly apt given I'd spent Sunday watching it on the sofa - "Wish me luck in the London Marathon, I managed it in 2 hours and 47 minutes last year but this year I may turn over and watch something else."
