Introduction

THE INVISIBLE WOMAN

LIFT TO THE SCAFFOLD

DEREK JARMAN - CARAVAGGIO

HER

And the Academy Award for Best Make Up and Hair goes to… The Academy Awards nominations were announced earlier today, so what better time to idle away a few hours musing over the possible winners from this year’s runners and riders. At first glance there are no huge surprises, though Oscar Isaac’s turn in the Coen brothers’ Inside Llewyn Davis might seem the obvious ‘snub’. I’ve mentioned this before, probably more than once, but the people who decide such things as film release dates really do like to save their contenders for release at this time of year, perhaps sensing that six months is a long time in Hollywood. Indeed, of the nine Best Film contenders the ‘oldest’ of them was released only back in October and three of them are yet to be released in the UK! They will be by the time the ceremony comes around so worry not, you’ll get your chance. It’s a lot of nonsense really though, isn’t it, awards season? They are used so extensively by distributors to sell their films to people like me (I get daily emails on the subject!) and you, and the films are so heavily ‘lobbied’ for the prizes might tend to lose their meaning a little. The fact of the matter is nominations and awards sell cinema tickets, so the fact all this surrounding and often unappealing hoo-ha and hullabaloo happens is, well, ultimately, and it gives me no pleasure to say it, you, the audience’s, fault! But, of course, I’m protesting too much. I find the Oscars a lot of fun. And the outcome of my musings…? There will be golden statuettes for 12 Years a Slave (Best Film), Steve McQueen (Best Director), Cate Blanchett, Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Lawrence and Jared Leto. There, neck duly stuck out. And now I’ll try and sell you some films and you can make what you like of that number in brackets after the title… 12 Years a Slave (9) continues into February, as does August: Osage County (2). Her (5) is Spike Jones’ wonderful, one-of-a-kind, near-future-set romantic comedy in which a recently broken-hearted young man falls for his computer’s operating system; The Invisible Woman is Ralph Fiennes’ (as director and star) telling of the story of the ‘other woman’ in Charles Dickens’ life; Rithy Panh’s extraordinarily powerful doc The Missing Picture (1) uses (perhaps bizarrely, but very effectively) clay models in recreated scenes to tell his own personal story of survival of the Khmer Rouge; and American Hustle (a perhaps flattering 10) and Inside Llewyn Davis (a surprisingly low 2) get decent runs as well. Louis Malle’s seminal Lift to the Scaffold has been given the restoration treatment, and we’re showing The Godfather as a precursor to the new digital restoration of Part II coming in March. We’re also delighted to present a retrospective of the films of Derek Jarman – 20 years on from his tragic, premature death – and many thanks go to our friends at the British Film Institute for the help they’ve given us with arranging that and of course to our sponsors Drambuie for their invaluable support. And lastly, before I stop talking about awards for another year, I was amused to note a nomination for, wait for it, Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa! For Best Make Up and Hair no less! You’ve gotta be rooting for that, wouldn’t you say? Rod White, Head of Filmhouse

Filmhouse Explorer We’re really keen to encourage your deeper engagement with the great cinema we screen. We know going to the cinema a lot can be quite expensive, so we’ve devised a ticket deal to make it cheaper to see films beyond the big new releases. Here’s how it works: buy a ticket for a film in the left hand column below, and you will receive a voucher that will entitle you, on handing it in at the Box Office, to 50% off a full price ticket to any film (or any film in any season) listed in the right hand column. At the risk of merely stating the obvious, here’s an example: you buy your ticket for Her and with that ticket comes a voucher telling you about the ticket deal. You scour our programme and realise you haven’t seen The Godfather for years, and that now would be a good time to refresh your memory, as The Godfather: Part II is being re-released in March. You hand your voucher in at the Box Office, and get to see the film for £4.10, half the cost of a full price ticket. Voilà! We’ve marked the films and seasons involved with a wee logo to make them easier to spot, and you can also find them on our website at www.filmhousecinema.com/tickets Happy Exploring!

Steve McQueen (Hunger, Shame) confirms his directorial prowess with a film of momentous importance and expanded cinematic scope in which he tackles head-on the long-untouchable subject of slavery. Solomon (an extraordinary performance from Chiwetel Ejiofor) is an accomplished violinist living as a free man in New York who is conned into joining a travelling show then brutally abducted and sold as a slave. When his comparatively benevolent first owner Ford (Benedict Cumberbatch) sells him to abusive, demented plantation boss Epps (Michael Fassbender), any chance to prove the illegitimacy of his situation seems lost. Based on Solomon Northup’s confronting memoir, 12 Years a Slave plays out on Louisiana plantations prior to the American Civil War, a potent historical context for McQueen to continue exploring themes of physical deprivation, self-loathing and the absence of choice. This unrelenting, indelible work of cinema is timely as both an expansion of, and antidote to, the very different ventures of Tarantino’s Django Unchained and Spielberg’s Lincoln. LFF programme See page 7 for ‘Retrieving Scotland’s Slavery Past’, a free

Heroes rarely fall from grace with the velocity of Lance Armstrong. Aiming to capture the cancer survivor’s inspirational bid for an eighth Tour de France title, Oscarwinning director Alex Gibney (Taxi to the Dark Side, We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks) instead found himself dedicating four years to documenting a scandal that the US Anti-Doping Agency would ultimately deem “the most sophisticated, professionalised and successful doping program that sport has ever seen.” However, it’s not just the elaborate nature of Armstrong’s deception that renders Gibney’s film so fascinating. It’s also the insight it affords us into a guarded figure who has previously admitted his guilt but otherwise revealed nothing. The director’s unprecedented access to Armstrong and characteristic rigour culminate in a compelling investigation of the ethics of winning.

“Alex Gibney delivers not just a detailed, full-access account of his subject, in all his defiance, hubris and tentative self-reckoning, but also a layered inquiry into the culture of competitiveness, celebrity, moral relativism and hypocrisy.” - Variety

Based on the award-winning play by Tracy Letts, and featuring an extraordinary cast on top form, August: Osage County tells the dark, hilarious, and deeply touching story of the strong-willed women of the Weston family, whose lives have diverged until a family crisis brings them back to the Midwest house in which they grew up, and to the dysfunctional woman who raised them.

David O Russell • USA 2013 • 2h18m DCP • 15 – Contains strong language Cast: Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper, Amy Adams, Jennifer Lawrence, Jeremy Renner.

Buster Keaton & Clyde Bruckman • USA 1926 • 1h19m DCP • Silent • U – Contains mild comic violence Cast: Buster Keaton, Marian Mack, Glen Cavender, Jim Farley, Frederick Vroom.

Spike Jonze • USA 2013 • 2h6m DCP • 15 – Contains strong language and sex references Cast: Joaquin Phoenix, Amy Adams, Scarlett Johansson, Rooney Mara, Chris Pratt.

Following on from the success of The Silver Linings Playbook, director David O Russell reunites with the two stars of that film plus Christian Bale and Amy Adams, who both featured in his boxing film The Fighter, for this hugely enjoyable 70s-set crime romp.

An inspired blend of slapstick humour, dynamic action and succinct storytelling, The General is one of the most enduring comedies to have emerged from the silent movie era. The expressively deadpan Keaton stars as a Confederate railroad engineer, pursuing his beloved locomotive (the General) and his sweetheart Annabelle (Marion Mack), who have been abducted by Union spies.

Written and directed by Spike Jonze, Her is an original love story that explores the evolving nature – and the risks – of intimacy in the modern world. Set in Los Angeles in the near future, it follows Theodore (Joaquin Phoenix), a complex, soulful man, heartbroken after the end of a relationship, who becomes intrigued with a new, advanced computer operating system promising to be an intuitive and unique entity in its own right. Upon initiating it, he meets ‘Samantha’, a bright voice who is insightful, sensitive, and surprisingly funny. As their relationship grows, it becomes complicated, as relationships do.

Con man Irving Rosenfeld (Christian Bale) is forced into working for loose-cannon FBI Agent Richie DiMaso (Bradley Cooper). Irving has to balance mafia bosses, powerbrokers and his volatile wife Rosalyn (Jennifer Lawrence) in order to stop his entire world from crashing down around him.

“It’s a film of jaw-dropping virtuosity and pleasure, one that leaves you revved, enthralled, tickled, moved, and amazed.” - Entertainment Weekly

“What makes the film so special is the way the timing, audacity and elegant choreography of its sight gags, acrobatics, pratfalls and dramatic incidents is matched by Buster’s directorial artistry, his acute observational skills working alongside the physical élan and sweet subtlety of his own performance.” - Time Out A new digital restoration featuring a score by Carl Davis.

Director Spike Jonze (Being John Malkovich, Adaptation., Where the Wild Things Are) has always excelled at fashioning poetically idiosyncratic worlds that are just slightly removed from our own, but with the audacious, funny and sweetly haunting Her, he breaks new ground, aided by terrific performances from Phoenix and Scarlett Johansson (who won the best actress prize at the Rome Film Festival even though we never see her!).

“Jonze is a visionary whose lyrical, soulful meditation on relationships of the future cuts to the heart of the way we live now.” - Rolling Stone

Filmmaker Raymond Depardon looks back at the life he captured on camera in Journal de France, assembled by his longtime collaborator (and sound engineer) Claudine Nougaret from, she says, “footage in his basement.” It represents a veritable treasure trove, from tanks rolling through Prague to deaths on the street of Venezuela, famine in Biafra, and the two years Depardon spent in the deserts of Chad. Depardon, who founded the Gamma agency, had documented places and people most could only dream of long before his haunting films began to win awards. Here he examines his own extended oeuvre and working process through his own eyes, as well as through those of Nougaret.

In one of the seminal French films of the 1950s, a veteran of the Indo-China and Algerian Wars (Maurice Ronet) and his lover (Jeanne Moreau) plan the murder of her armsmanufacturer husband. But on his way from the crime scene he’s trapped in a lift, she anxiously walks the night streets of Paris waiting for him, and a teenage couple steal his car and gun for a reckless joyride. Influenced by Hitchcock and Bresson, Malle consciously puts his individual stamp on an adaptation of an ingenious but otherwise conventional roman noir, much influenced by Double Indemnity. Miles Davis was persuaded to provide a superb score improvised in a single night, and for the high contrast black-and-white look Malle engaged the brilliant cinematographer Henri Decaë, who went on to shoot the first films of Chabrol and Truffaut. This triumphant feature debut helped turn Moreau into an iconic star, introduced the key themes that recurred in Malle’s work over the next 30-odd years, and can be seen as the first movie of the Nouvelle Vague. - Philip French, BFI programme Screening in a stunning new digital restoration.

L’image manquante

Cambodian filmmaker Rithy Panh has spent his career documenting and reflecting on the atrocities committed in his homeland by the Khmer Rouge. During Pol Pot’s dictatorship, Panh watched most of his family members disappear – some were taken away, others died slowly of starvation. In The Missing Picture, Panh revisits his own memories of those four years in the late 70s when millions of lives were extinguished and a culture was almost eradicated, through spoken words and ‘missing’ images. Since all personal belongings were destroyed by the regime, Panh actually had to create his images of his family life and pre-1975 Phnom Penh out of clay, plasticene, fabrics and other materials. The stillness of these little dioramas, of scenes both good (bustling streets, cosy kitchens and living rooms) and bad (life on a collective farm, working in the fields), acquires sad, unearthly overtones – this is a becalmed and lucid recounting of a nightmare. After the 5.55pm screening on Tuesday 18 February there will be an open discussion on the issues raised by the film, led by a representative of the Humanist Society of Scotland. Humanism is an ethical stance which asserts that we can lead good lives guided by compassion and reason, rather than religion or superstition.

Eric Steel • USA/UK 2013 • 1h19m • DCP • PG – Contains one use of mild language and a sex reference • Documentary

A rich documentary inspired by the life and work of Megan Boyd, a legendary Scottish maker of salmon flies. Filled with tributes and recollections from those who knew this solitary and enigmatic woman, this elegiac film draws further inspiration from the colours and textures of Boyd’s handmade, feather-adorned flies. The film also takes off into flights of expressive fantasy, courtesy of Em Cooper’s oil-painted animation. MAYBEYOUMISSED

Inside Llewyn Davis Fri 21 Feb to Thu 6 Mar Ethan Coen & Joel Coen • USA/France 2013 • 1h45m • DCP 15 – Contains strong language, sex references and implied hard drug use Cast: Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, Justin Timberlake.

Inside Llewyn Davis follows a week in the life of a young folk singer as he navigates the Greenwich Village folk scene of 1961. Guitar in tow, huddled against the unforgiving New York winter, he is struggling to make it as a musician against seemingly insurmountable obstacles – some of them of his own making... “What an intense pleasure this film is, one of the Coens’ best.” - The Guardian

Ralph Fiennes • UK 2013 • 1h51m • DCP 12A – Contains moderate sex and sex references Cast: Ralph Fiennes, Felicity Jones, Kristin Scott Thomas, Tom Hollander, Michael Marcus.

Ralph Fiennes doubles up as director and star in this pitchperfect drama chronicling the secret relationship between Charles Dickens and the young actress Nelly Ternan. Nelly (Felicity Jones), a happily married mother and school teacher, is haunted by her past. Her memories, provoked by remorse and guilt, take us back in time to follow the story of her relationship with Charles Dickens (Fiennes), with whom she discovered an exciting but fragile complicity. Dickens – 45 years old, married with children, famous, controlling and emotionally isolated within his success – falls for the 18-year-old Nelly, who comes from a family of actors. As Nelly becomes the focus of Dickens’ passion, and his muse, secrecy is the price that both must pay. But for Nelly, that secrecy extends to invisibility – any public acknowledgement of the truth in rumours of their affair would bring scandal and ruin to all. Although Victorian London is brought to vibrant life by Fiennes and his cinematographer Rob Hardy, this – as one might expect from Fiennes – is really a vehicle for the actors. Fiennes is his usual impeccable self, while Kristin Scott Thomas (as Mrs Dickens), Tom Hollander (writer Wilkie Collins) and Joanna Scanlan also shine. But it’s the luminous Felicity Jones who steals the show – this rising star is on her way to becoming a household name.

BLACK ANGEL

SPECIALEVENT

Black Angel + Q&A with Roger Christian Sun 2 Mar at 8.30pm Roger Christian • Canada/UK 1980 • 25m plus extended Q&A • U

Unseen for 34 years, believed lost for over 20 and now painstakingly restored, Black Angel originally screened before The Empire Strikes Back in the UK, Scandinavia and Australia in 1980. Funded by George Lucas and beautifully shot around Scotland in Cinemascope, the film centres on one knight’s quest to rescue a maiden from her dark overlord. With nods to Kurosawa and Tarkovsky and a gorgeous early score by Trevor Jones – featuring electronics from BBC Radiophonic Workshop’s Paddy Kingsland – its influence on subsequent sword-andsorcery epics (notably Excalibur) is clear. The film’s journey is itself legendary, and director Roger Christian will be present for this unique homecoming to talk on a number of subjects, including his seminal design work on Alien and Star Wars, the latter winning him an Academy Award. Thanks to Brice Parker, David Tanaka, Athena Studios, Skywalker Sound and Glasgow Film Festival.

THE ANGELIC CONVERSATION

Drambuie brings you A Taste of the Extraordinary...

Derek Jarman Filmmaker and artist Derek Jarman died in 1994, aged just 52, but his legacy lives on. In the twenty years since his death his films have lost none of their relevance and remain massively influential, with public interest increasing substantially in recent years. For those that hunger for something distinctive and different, his eclectic work is inspirational in its fearlessness yet remains touchingly personal. This retrospective includes features such as Caravaggio and The Tempest, alongside more experimental films and rarely seen shorts. Many thanks to the British Film Institute for their help in putting together this season. This is the eighth special season of films showcased in partnership with Drambuie, whose ongoing financial support allows Filmhouse to screen unique cinematic programmes that showcase extraordinary filmmakers, actors and actresses that have made a lasting impact on cultural society as well as film history. Alongside these extraordinary films, audiences can experience Drambuie’s unique blend of Scotch whisky, spices and heather honey in an array of bespoke cocktails at our Café Bar, created to celebrate each season. And over the cold winter months, look out for the special Drambuie Hot Apple Toddy!

The controversial, sexualised retelling of the story of the fourth century Praetorian guard whose human goodness leads to humiliation and martyrdom. The heat of the Sardinian desert is powerfully captured on film, and Brian Eno’s distinctly moving score beautifully complements the directors’ superb framing, pacing and slow-motion photography. The result is a glorious hymn to the living, breathing, very real male body, and a bold, personal reclamation of gay history. PLUS SHORT Electric Fairy

Derek Jarman • UK 1978 • 1h49m • 16mm • 18 Cast: Jenny Runacre, Nell Campbell, Toyah Willcox, Jordan, Richard O’Brien.

Derek Jarman • UK 1986 • 1h33m • DCP • 18 Cast: Dexter Fletcher, Noam Almaz, Sean Bean, Tilda Swinton, Dawn Archibald.

Jarman’s provocative account of the punk movement is both prophetic and apocalyptic. Queen Elizabeth I and her occult aide Dr John Dee travel into the future, encountering the megalomania of big business as well as gangs of violent, marauding killers. Jarman is hitting his stride here, and doesn’t spare the shocks. While electrifying punk rock numbers are delivered by Jayne County and Adam Ant, the mythological past and bleak future converge on the grey streets of London.

The first of many great Derek Jarman/Tilda Swinton collaborations, Caravaggio is bursting with originality, pure style and sumptuous exploration of gender. The last great Italian painter of the Renaissance, Caravaggio was a bad boy of Italian aristocracy, who scandalized society with his erotic portrayals of naked saints, invariably posed by street urchins and prostitutes. Nigel Terry’s Caravaggio is a bisexual with a penchant for rough trade, Sean Bean his brutal lover, and Swinton his muse and model for the Magdalene and the dead Virgin – and the beautiful mistress who comes between them.

An introduction to the work of Derek Jarman by Jim Hickey, former director of Filmhouse and the Edinburgh International Film Festival. The artist who designed the all-white sets for Ken Russell’s The Devils in 1970 ended his filmmaking career with an all-blue screen in 1993. It was to be six years after working with Russell before Derek Jarman brought his super-8 aesthetic to his first feature Sebastiane, quickly followed by Jubilee and The Tempest. He then fought to make his personal cinema within a largely hostile British film culture. Edinburgh is part of his fascinating story as he brought several films – starting with The Tempest – to EIFF. Jim Hickey will talk about Jarman during these years and will include extracts from his films.

The dazzling music video created by Jarman to accompany three Smiths songs – ‘The Queen Is Dead’, ‘There Is A Light That Never Goes Out’ and ‘Panic’.

Presented in a new version, digitally remastered by the BFI National Archive.

This tender non-narrative piece was Jarman’s personal favourite. Shakespeare’s sonnets, read by Judi Dench, are set to a gentle score from queer industrialists Coil, while ritual actions that celebrate the body are simply and touchingly performed by men along the Dorset coastline.

Brooding and laden with symbolism, Jarman’s third feature is considered by some to be the most evocative Shakespeare adaptation ever to reach the screen. Rich images of shining gold and dark water dominate as furtive magus Prospero converses with – and attempts to manipulate – Ariel, a spirit from the beyond. Stunning performances are delivered by a fine ensemble cast, but Elisabeth Welch and her delicious rendition of ‘Stormy Weather’ steals the show.

An extraordinary visual evocation of Benjamin Britten’s choral and orchestral masterpiece, composed to commemorate those who lost their lives in the First World War. Jarman draws together powerful, poetic images, and coaxes strong performances from Laurence Olivier (in his last ever role), Tilda Swinton and other familiar faces, which he intersperses with harrowing archival footage illustrating the true horrors of war.

Inside his modest, sparsely-furnished home on the barren, windswept Dungeness coastline, Derek Jarman dreams. This intimate insight into Jarman’s inner world was beautifully shot on fragile Super8 with the help of friends and collaborators. Shifting from the personal to the political, it culminates in a near-mythic exploration of sexual repression at the end of twentieth century, movingly utilising a cast of iconic, religious figures that include Jesus, Judas and the Madonna. Increasingly ill by this point, Jarman faces his mortality with poetry and dignity.

UK 1998 • 9m • Digital

The Last of England Thu 13 Mar at 6.00pm Derek Jarman • UK/West Germany 1987 • 1h31m • 35mm • 15 Cast: Tilda Swinton, Spencer Leigh, Spring, Gay Gaynor, Matthew Hawkins.

Jarman reimagines London’s yuppie Docklands as a ruined wasteland of desperation and terror, where prisoners are executed in cold blood and soldiers engage in brutal sex. Made shortly after he was diagnosed with HIV, Jarman’s passionate fusion of Super8 material, riot footage and home movies is jagged and elegiac; an angry, powerful, Blake-like vision of England in turmoil.

Originally conceived as a television production, this biopic of the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein was drastically revised by Jarman to introduce new striking aesthetics and playful absurdist elements – such as a furry alien character from outer space played with relish by Nabil Shaban. The delightful end result is a smart but good-natured film that works through the great Austrian thinker’s questions regarding illusionism, reality and sex.

An item from the TV show Gardener’s World in which the artist’s unusual garden at Dungeness, plus his lifelong interest in horticulture, are discussed.

Derek Jarman • UK 1991 • 1h30m • 35mm • 15 Cast: Steven Waddington, Kevin Collins, Andrew Tiernan, John Lynch, Tilda Swinton.

Derek Jarman • UK 1993 • 1h19m • DCP • 15

Characters – adrift in a world of intrigue – live, love and bloodily pursue their shadowy vendettas in this adaptation of the Christopher Marlowe play. To tell the story of the persecuted gay English king, Jarman mixes modern and medieval props and costumes; directly evoking contemporary homophobia in a bold and finely-crafted production.

Glitterbug Mon 31 Mar at 6.00pm Derek Jarman • UK 1994 • 1h • 35mm • 15

Derek Jarman’s powerfully diverse creative life passes before our eyes in ghostly fast-forward via this moving collage of over 20 years’ worth of Super8 film, originally compiled for the BBC’s Arena after Jarman’s death. Intimate moments from the 1970s underground gay art scene and on-set footage from Jarman’s features unexpectedly collide with appearances from Genesis P-Orridge, William Burroughs, Michael Clark, Tilda Swinton and many others. SHORT In the Shadow of the Sun Derek Jarman • UK 1972/1980 • 50m • 16mm

Pulsing fire, stunning landscapes and enigmatic stone circles are ritualistically interwoven in this intense, mythic, semi-psychedelic evocation of pre-Christian spirituality.

Removing the use of images completely, a luminous blue glow is the backdrop for this evocative and emotionally resonant collage of sound, music and speech, during which Jarman contemplates his encroaching blindness and threatened mortality. As images disappear from his own vision, he considers how his life and work will disappear from public consciousness after his death.

She roams them by torchlight, dreaming of adventures on the surface. But she gets more adventure than she bargained for when she sneaks into a forbidden area of the settlement that takes her above ground. Patema’s world is turned upside down – literally! Gravity pulls her away and she must rely on Age, a local boy, to help keep her on the ground. Gravity isn’t the only force at work here though: the pair are about to be pulled into something much bigger... We are delighted to welcome director Yasuhiro Yoshiura, who will take part in a Q&A after the screening.

Kaleidoscope

JOHN SMITH - DAD’S STICK

Kaleidoscope This short season offers a rare opportunity to discover the diversity and vitality of experimental filmmaking through three unique figures of the contemporary scene. The weekend kicks off with a screening of short films by the influential British experimental filmmaker and recent Jarman Award winner John Smith, followed by Sarah Pucill’s feature debut Magic Mirror, concluding with five short black and white 16mm films by the German filmmaker and photographer Telemach Wiesinger, who features regularly in Edinburgh International Film Festival’s experimental section Black Box. Although diverse in subject matter and formal approach, the three screenings are brought together by an emphasis on the personal and the poetic, with each filmmaker inscribing him or herself into the fabric of the film. In the case of Smith this often takes the form of personal narratives delivered through captions and voice-overs, whilst Pucill uses the Surrealist artist Claude Cahun as a mirror – a trope that features heavily in the work of both women. Referencing Dziga Vertov’s Man With a Movie Camera (1929), Wiesinger is the lone adventurer, documenting the outside world with a poetic sensitivity to details that ordinarily pass us by. The screenings will be introduced and Q&As hosted by Catherine Payton, co-director of Rhubaba, and Kim Knowles, Experimental Film Programmer at EIFF.

Magic Mirror

Thu 27 Feb at 6.00pm

Sarah Pucill • UK 2013 • 1h15m • Digital

John Smith • UK • 1h15m • Digital

Magic Mirror combines a re-staging of the French Surrealist artist Claude Cahun’s black and white photographs with selected extracts from her book Aveux Non Avenus (Confessions Denied). In Surrealist kaleidoscopic fashion the film creates a weave between word and image, exploring the links between Cahun’s photographs and writings, as well as drawing connections between Pucill’s concerns and those of Cahun. Seen as a dialogue between two artists – one dead, one living – a century apart, the film is a unique exercise in creative collaboration.

John Smith’s deceptively unassuming, meticulously crafted films, deftly subvert the perceived boundaries between documentary and fiction. This selection, compiled by the filmmaker, includes Dad’s Stick, a warm and compellingly dry introduction to Mr Tony Smith, John’s dad, through three well-used objects from his life.

16mm Film Poems by Telemach Wiesinger Sat 1 Mar at 6.10pm Telemach Wiesinger • Germany • 1h11m • 16mm

Drawing on the aesthetics of early cinema, Wiesinger’s film poems are largely composed of single camera set-ups and continuous takes, creating a strange tension between movement and stasis, permanence and transience.

Roberto Rossellini • Italy/France 1954 • 1h26m DCP • English and Italian with English subtitles PG – Contains mild sex references Cast: Ingrid Bergman, George Sanders, Maria Mauban, Paul Muller.

Now in its ninth year at Filmhouse, Introduction to European Cinema returns for 2013/14 with a completely new programme of films. The only season of its kind in the UK, IEC provides a great opportunity to see some of the classics of European cinema on the big screen, many of which are very rarely shown.

Journey to Italy, a deceptively simple portrait of a marriage in crisis, has been hailed as one of the finest films ever made. Ingrid Bergman and George Sanders are a quiet English couple who travel to Naples seeking a buyer for a property that has been left to them by a relative. Separated from the social whirl and hectic days of their life in London, they are forced to confront a relationship that has crumbled into weariness, mistrust and mutual disdain.

Pedro Almodóvar • Spain 2004 • 1h45m 35mm • Spanish with English subtitles 15 – Contains strong language, sex references and hard drug use Cast: Gael García Bernal, Fele Martínez, Daniel Giménez Cacho, Lluís Homar, Francisco Maestre.

Curated in collaboration with specialists in European cinema from the University of Edinburgh’s Division of European Languages and Cultures, the screenings form part of study programmes in cinema at the University of Edinburgh, but you don’t need to be a student to come along – we are very keen to invite all members of the Filmhouse public to see these masterful and often thought-provoking films! Each screening will be preceded by a short introduction by Dr Leanne Dawson (Lecturer in German and Film, and IEC Course Organiser for Spring 2014) or Dr Pasquale Iannone (Film Studies). To keep up to date with screening dates and times, feel free to ‘Like’ IEC’s Facebook page ‘Introduction to European Cinema at Filmhouse’ or follow @Filmhouse on Twitter.

Juxtaposing the emotional reserve of the unhappy couple with the beauty and vitality of their Italian surroundings, Journey to Italy is a film with a profound understanding of the human condition. The world-weary self-loathing at the heart of George Sanders’ screen character has never been better used, and Ingrid Bergman is exceptional at conveying the emotional turmoil beneath her civilised veneer.

A noirish Hitchcockian thriller which enhanced Almodóvar’s reputation as one of the world’s most consistent and interesting directors. Two men, one of whom is a film director, meet up in the 1980s, twenty years after they attended a Catholic school together during Franco’s rule. Their stories are told using flashback sequences, both to the sixties and the seventies, and with a film within the film, a semi-autobiographical account of two teenage boys, falling in love and having to contend with sexual and emotional abuse at the hands of a Catholic priest. Visually sumptuous, with an intricate plot and excellent performances all round.

Wim Wenders • West Germany 1974 • 1h52m • 35mm German, English and Dutch with English subtitles U – Contains one use of mild language Cast: Rüdiger Vogler, Yella Rottländer, Elisabeth Kreuzer.

Andrey Zvyagintsev • Russia 2011 • 1h49m DCP • Russian with English subtitles 12A – Contains infrequent strong language and moderate violence Cast: Nadezhda Markina, Andrey Smirnov, Elena Lyadova.

As a German photojournalist attempts to develop a project on America, he finds his pictures differing from his ideas of what the country is about. Frustrated, he decides to return home, but is lumbered with an independent-minded nine-year-old girl whose mother has let her down. The pair travel across Europe in search of the missing parent, and an unlikely friendship is formed. Wenders approaches his subject with telling obliqueness, taking it – and us – continually by surprise.

A gripping, modern twist on a Dostoevsky-style exploration of human nature. Middle-aged spouses Vladimir and Elena uneasily share his large Moscow apartment – he’s a still-virile, wealthy businessman; she’s his former nurse and recent wife. Estranged from his own wild-child daughter, Vladimir despises Elena’s freeloading son and family. When Vladimir becomes ill and draws up a hotly contested will, the likeable Elena is pushed beyond her limits.

Lars von Trier • Spain/Argentina/Denmark/Germany/ Netherlands/Italy/USA/UK/France/Sweden/Finland/Iceland/ Norway 2000 • 2h20m • 35mm • 15 Cast: Björk, Catherine Deneuve, David Morse, Peter Stormare.

Claire Denis • France 1999 • 1h33m • 35mm French, Italian and Russian with English subtitles • 15 Cast: Denis Lavant, Michel Subor, Grégoire Colin, Richard Courcet.

Lars von Trier won the Palme d’Or for this postmodern musical melodrama featuring a stunning performance from Björk. Washington State, 1964. Selma, a Czech immigrant, lives with her son Gene in a shabby caravan and works at a metal plant. One day, her landlord Bill confesses to her that the bank will soon repossess his house; Selma reveals she is going blind from a hereditary condition and saving for an operation to rescue Gene’s sight. After Selma refuses to loan him money, Bill discovers where she hides her savings.

Claire Denis and screenwriter Jean-Pol Fargeau reimagine Herman Melville’s ‘Billy Budd’ as a tale of jealousy and homoerotic desire amongst a company of French Legionnaires. Exercising their muscular torsos under the blaring sun, they engage in a hypnotically choreographed daily routine of military drills, chores, and mock battles. Sergeant Galoup (Denis Lavant) runs the troupe like a well-oiled machine, until jealousy gets in the way. With the haunting suspense of a Greek tragedy, Galoup’s uncontrollable urge to destroy young recruit Sentain ultimately leads to his own downfall.

THE GODFATHER

Come and See... A monthly one-off screening of a great film we simply thought you might like to see, again or for the first time, on the big screen.

The Godfather Thu 20 Feb at 8.05pm Francis Ford Coppola • USA 1972 • 2h55m DCP • English and Italian with English subtitles 15 – Contains strong violence Cast: Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, Robert Duvall, Diane Keaton, John Cazale.

Based on the best-selling novel by Mario Puzo (who cowrote the screenplay with director Francis Ford Coppola), The Godfather tells an epic tale of Mafia life in America during the 1940s and 1950s. Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando) is the family patriarch, balancing a love of his family with an ambitious criminal instinct. At the wedding of the Don’s daughter Connie (Talia Shire), youngest son Michael (Al Pacino) is reunited with his family. A subsequent assassination attempt leaves the Don too ill to run the family business, forcing Michael and Sonny (James Caan), with the help of lawyer Tom Hagen (Robert Duvall), to lead the Corleones into a vendetta-filled war with other mob families. One of Hollywood’s greatest critical and commercial successes, The Godfather gets everything right; not only did the movie transcend expectations, it established new benchmarks for American cinema. A new restoration of The Godfather: Part II opens here on 7 March.

Screening Irish History/Write Shoot Cut: To Here Knows When

HUNGER

KINGS

Screening Irish History Ireland’s rich and dramatic history has provided the backdrop for many films and we are delighted to partner with the University of Edinburgh to present Screening Irish History. The years 2012-2023 are hugely important for Ireland’s past and present as they mark the ‘decade of commemorations’, the centenary of the Irish revolution and independence. This series (two films screened last month) comprises landmark films about Irish society and aims to generate new perspectives and critical debates about Ireland’s past and how it has been represented onscreen. Each showing will be followed by a panel discussion and Q&A featuring filmmakers, historians and other commentators, and chaired by Dr Niall Whelehan and Dr Enda Delaney of the University of Edinburgh. Funding from a College of Humanities and Social Sciences Knowledge Exchange Award at the University of Edinburgh provides an additional £2 discount on concession price tickets for all students with a valid matriculation card.

Steve McQueen • UK 2008 • 1h36m • 35mm 15 – Contains strong violence, language and medical gore Cast: Michael Fassbender, Stuart Graham, Liam Cunningham, Brian Milligan, Liam McMahon.

Tom Collins • Ireland/UK 2007 • 1h29m • 35mm English and Irish Gaelic with English subtitles 15 – Contains strong language, hard drug use and suicide theme Cast: Colm Meaney, Donal O’Kelly, Brendan Conroy, Donncha Crowley, Barry Barnes.

The last months in the life of Irish Republican Bobby Sands, who starved himself to death in 1981 as a protest against the British government’s refusal to recognise convicted IRA members as political prisoners, is recounted in Steve McQueen’s unflinchingly brutal yet extraordinarily compelling debut feature. The screening will be followed by a discussion with Dr Laurence McKeown, writer, screenwriter and commentator who took part in the 1981 Irish hunger strike, and Professor Neil Mulholland, Edinburgh College of Art.

In the mid 1970s, a group of six young men left their homes in the West of Ireland and sailed to England in the hope of making their fortunes and returning home. Thirty years later only one, Jackie Flavin, makes it home – but does so in a coffin. Jackie’s five friends reunite at his wake, where they are forced to face up to the reality of their alienation as long term emigrants who no longer have any real place to call home. The screening will be followed by a discussion with the film’s director Tom Collins and Alex McDonnell, coordinator of the Aisling Return to Ireland Project.

TO HERE KNOWS WHEN

SPECIALEVENT

Write Shoot Cut: To Here Knows When Mon 24 Feb at 6.10pm 2h including Q&A • 15

The Write Shoot Cut platform is dedicated to showcasing independent film from Scotland and beyond. This month we are delighted to be screening To Here Knows When, the debut feature film from Scottish filmmaker Grant McPhee. Grant has worked in the film industry for over ten years in the camera department and as a Digital Workflow Supervisor on films such as Cloud Atlas, World War Z, Sunshine on Leith, Under the Skin and many more. Grant started out at Pilton Video (now Screen Education Edinburgh) as a trainee and worked his way up. Last year he used his own money and equipment to shoot a low budget feature film. Costing him £4000, shot over five days and using the RED One and Blackmagic Cinema cameras; the film is a beautifully photographed powerful trip into the darkness of Joe, who returns home after being away to find his wife has taken in a siren-like lodger. It’s a psychedelic ambient drama that dabbles in the horror and thriller genres. To Here Knows When picked up the Best Cinematography prize at the Bootleg Film Festival in New York, September 2013. We are delighted to showcase Grant’s film and will welcome him along with various cast and crew for a special Q&A after the screening, where they will discuss just how they managed to pull off a feature film under such constraints.
