FILMS WORTH TALKING ABOUT

H O M E O F T H E E D I NB U RG H I N T E R N AT I O N A L F I L M F E S T I VA L

For Your Considerable Viewing Pleasure...

At the onset of digital cinema exhibition around 10 years ago, the use of 35mm prints in cinemas declined very rapidly. For a few years there were always a few prints kicking about of each film, and then (I think I recall correctly) Senna, in 2010, became the first film widely released in the UK solely digitally. These days, it’s very rare for a film to be made available in anything other than digital – the cost of making and distributing the prints, and the dearth of cinemas still equipped to run them being the issue – but it does happen. Film prints tend to be made where the filmmaker has a particular affinity for the analogue medium and the studios involved are prepared to support them. Carol (2015), was a recent example. Oddly enough, these days, the superior 70mm format seems almost more prevalent than 35mm: Paul Thomas Anderson’s The Master and Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight (which screened here in early 2016 in the super-rare Ultra Panavision 70 format – so rare we had to borrow lenses from the USA!) would be recent examples.

Christopher Nolan is probably currently the best-known proponent of shooting on film, and in the knowledge that he and Warner Bros. had made one 70mm print for the UK for Interstellar a few years back, I hoped that they might do the same for his hotly-anticipated World War II epic, Dunkirk. Well… imagine our excitement when the aforementioned WB called us to ask if we’d be interested in showing Dunkirk, from release, from 70mm film, one of only a handful of cinemas in the UK to do so. We thought about it long and hard for about two seconds, and said “yes please”.

Oops, I got so tangled up in 70mm film there I forgot to mention anything else… Suffice to say there’s jazz, car chases, cats, restorations and a short season of films selected by our first ‘House Guest’, Ian Rankin. Read on!

Kedi Fri 7 to Thu 13 Jul Ceya Torun • Turkey/USA 2016 • 1h19m • Digital • Turkish with English subtitles • U - Contains infrequent very mild bad language.

Documentary.

Roaming the streets of Istanbul in their thousands, the feline cast we encounter in this utterly enchanting documentary have no master, no fixed abode, and of course no doubts about their importance to the people of the Turkish capital. Some fend for themselves - scavenging around - while others rely on a variety of goodnatured humans for shelter and sustenance.

Director Ceyda Torun said, “Cats have been a part of Istanbul for thousands of years, and so, everyone who grows up in Istanbul or lives in Istanbul has a story about a cat. Stories that are memorable; sometimes scary, sometimes spiritual, but always very personal.”

My Cousin Rachel

Fri 7 to Thu 13 Jul

Fri 7 to Thu 13 Jul

Cate Shortland • Australia 2017 • 1h56m • Digital • English, German and Russian with English subtitles • 15 - Contains strong threat, violence, injury detail, sex, sexualised nudity. • Cast: Teresa Palmer, Max Riemelt, Lucie Aron, Matthias Habich.

Roger Michell • UK/USA 2017 • 1h46m • Digital • 12A - Contains infrequent strong language, moderate sex. • Cast: Rachel Weisz, Sam Claflin, Holliday Grainger, Iain Glen, Andrew Knott.

Cate Shortland, the Australian filmmaker behind the impressionistic Lore and Somersault, directs this taut, sensual and disturbing thriller based in a beautifully shot Berlin. Australian photojournalist Clare (Teresa Palmer) embarks on a passionate holiday romance with Andi (Max Riemelt), a charismatic local. Their affair changes pace when Clare wakes up in Andi’s apartment to discover he’s gone to work and left her locked in. At first it seems like a mistake anyone could make; however, it soon becomes evident that Andi has no intention of letting her leave...

Roger Michell (Le Week-end) adapts and directs this mystery thriller based on Daphne Du Maurier’s novel of deadly suspicion and forbidden love, previously adapted with Olivia de Havilland and Richard Burton in 1952. Set on the spectacular Cornish coastline, young Philip (Sam Claflin) has his suspicions about his cousin Rachel (Rachel Weisz) when her husband (Philip’s guardian) dies overseas. When a deeply incriminating letter emerges, Philip vows to find out once and for all. Despite warnings from those close to him, his feelings begin to cloud his judgement - his feelings for the beautiful, notorious Rachel...

A Man Called Ove

En man som heter Ove Fri 7 to Thu 13 Jul

Hannes Holm • Sweden 2015 • 1h56m • Digital • Swedish and Persian with English subtitles • 15 - Contains suicide theme. • Cast: Rolf Lassgård, Bahar Pars, Filip Berg, Ida Engvoll.

This adaptation of Fredrik Backman’s bestseller is the funny, moving story of how even the most shorttempered and stubborn can slowly be won over.

Oscar® nominated, a massive success in its home territory and a hit at EIFF 2016, this Swedish gem is elevated by a lead performance by Rolf Lassgård as Ove, who patrols/terrorises his neighbourhood with the utmost vigilance. Things change, however, when he meets pregnant new neighbour Parvaneh (Bahar Pars) and her family.

The Seasons In Quincy: Four Portraits of John Berger Fri 14 to Mon 17 Jul Tilda Swinton, Colin MacCabe, Christopher Roth, Bartek Dziadosz UK 2016 • 1h33m • Digital • 12A - Contains infrequent moderate violence. • Documentary.

The Seasons in Quincy is the result of a five-year project by Tilda Swinton, Colin MacCabe and Christopher Roth to produce a portrait of the intellectual and storyteller John Berger. The four essay films which comprise it each take different aspects of Berger’s life in the Alpine village of Quincy, and combine ideas and motifs from Berger’s own work with the atmosphere of his mountain home. Each film was created as an individual work of art but they combine to make this feature film.

Song to Song Fri 14 to Thu 20 Jul Terrence Malick • USA 2016 • 2h9m • Digital • cert tbc • Cast: Ryan Gosling, Rooney Mara, Michael Fassbender, Natalie Portman, Holly Hunter, Cate Blanchett.

A Terrence Malick film is always a visual treat, with his distinctive use of imagery and unique style.

With Song to Song, the languid sense of wonder is still there, but he has also added romance and even humour to this modern love story, set against the backdrop of the music scene in Austin, Texas.

It follows the intertwined story of two couples, songwriter BV (Ryan Gosling) and wannabe singer Faye (Rooney Mara), as well as music mogul Cook (Michael Fassbender) and waitress Rhonda (Natalie Portman). Song to Song had its UK Premiere at EIFF.

Dao khanong Wed 19 & Thu 20 Jul

Anocha Suwichakornpong • Thailand/France/Qatar/Netherlands 2016 • 1h45m • Digital • Thai with English subtitles • 12A - Contains infrequent strong language. • Cast: Arak Amornsupasiri, Apinya Sakuljaorensuk, Achtara Suwan, Visra Vichit-Vadakan.

Anocha Suwichakornpong’s second feature was the toast of many a film festival in 2016. It explores Thailand’s problematic relationship with its own past, as it labours into modernity, through two women - a young film director researching script material and a writer (the interviewee) who led student protests in the 1970s. It’s a deceptively simple premise, approached in a malleable way - at times abruptly diverting course, presenting images within images and confounding the reality we’re presented with.

The Midwife

Sage Femme

Fri 21 to Thu 27 Jul Martin Provost • France 2017 • 1h57m • Digital • French with English subtitles • 12A - Contains infrequent brief nudity, surgical detail.

Cast: Catherine Deneuve, Catherine Frot, Olivier Gourmet, Quentin Dolmaire, Mylène Demongeot.

It’s Catherine v Catherine in this sparkling French drama as the twin talents of Catherine Deneuve and Catherine Frot share memorable screen time. Frot plays an ordered and sensible midwife whose life gets unexpectedly complicated when her father’s flighty and disorganised former lover (Deneuve) arrives back in Paris having been given just a year to live.

Funny, astute and gently melodramatic, this latest film from Martin Provost (who made award-winning Séraphine) is a delightful character study driven by two wonderful performances.

70mm print

Dunkirk Showing from Fri 21 Jul Christopher Nolan • Netherlands/UK/France/USA 2017 • 1h50m • 70mm • cert tbc • Cast: Tom Hardy, Mark Rylance, Cillian Murphy, Jack Lowden, Barry Keoghan, Kevin Guthrie, Harry Styles, Aneurin Barnard.

The legendary evacuation of Allied soldiers from the beaches of Dunkirk - a pivotal moment in the Second World War - is brought magnificently to screen by Christopher Nolan in this epic, star-studded war drama.

Told from three perspectives - the beached infantry, the rescuing navy/civilian vessels and the airmen above - much of Dunkirk was shot on 70mm and Super Panavision 65mm film - making it only the fourth major motion picture of the decade to be shot and shown theatrically in 70mm (after Paul Thomas Anderson’s The Master, Nolan’s Interstellar, and Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight).

Filmhouse is delighted to present all Cinema 1 screenings of Dunkirk from a glorious new 70mm print.

Screenings in Cinema 2 and 3 will screen from DCP. See p 16-18. There is a £2 additional charge for 70mm.

The winner of the Best Director award at Cannes this year, Sofia Coppola’s much-anticipated new film sees Thomas Cullinan’s Southern Gothic novel adapted for the screen for the second time (following Don Siegel’s 1971 version with Clint Eastwood). In this exquisitelydelivered, intriguing new interpretation, starring Nicole Kidman, Elle Fanning and Kirsten Dunst, a wounded Union soldier (Colin Farrell) is discovered by the pupils and staff of an all-girls school in rural Virginia. His arrival into their midst is the catalyst for a storm of sexual tension and rivalry, but that’s only half the story...

Slack Bay Ma Loute Fri 28 Jul to Tue 1 Aug Bruno Dumont • France/Germany/Belgium 2016 • 2h2m • Digital French and English with English subtitles • 15 - Contains strong violence, bloody images. • Cast: Juliette Binoche, Fabrice Luchini, Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, Brandon Lavieville, Jean-Luc Vincent, Raph.

Summer 1910. Tourists have gone missing on the Channel Coast, just as the bourgeois Van Peteghem family (featuring Juliette Binoche on top form) arrive to spend the season. A pair of bumbling cops follow the lead to a small community of fisherman down at Slack Bay. As the macabre mystery unfolds, unlikely love blossoms between young Billie Van Peteghem and local boy Ma Loute Bréfort. Bruno Dumont has a knack for dark, funny smalltown farces - 2014’s P’tit Quinquin proved this and Slack Bay confirms it.

David Lynch - The Art Life

City of Ghosts

Mon 31 Jul to Thu 3 Aug

Mon 31 Jul to Thu 3 Aug

Jon Nguyen, Rick Barnes • USA/Denmark 2016 • 1h28m • Digital • 15 Contains strong language. • Documentary.

Matthew Heineman • USA 2017 • 1h30m • Digital • cert tbc • Documentary.

Following 2007’s Lynch, which accompanied the legendary director through the completion of Inland Empire, Jon Nguyen has returned to his enigmatic subject, this time offering an intimate portrait of David Lynch, visual artist. Narrated by Lynch himself, the film offers an intimate portrait of the director’s childhood, his awkward teenage years and his first steps as an artist, as told through home movies and footage of the artist in his studio. An immersive and compelling portrait of one of America’s most celebrated and unpredictable filmmakers in a refreshing new context.

An astonishing film on the Syrian citizen journalists/ activists of Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently - a group they formed after ISIS occupied their home city in 2014. Risking their lives daily - both in Syria and in exile - these people are undercover, on the run and in constant danger; yet, their fight against their occupiers’ ideology continues through information battles over online clicks and views. City of Ghosts is directed by award-winning documentarian Matthew Heineman (Cartel Land), and truly puts a human face on a very real, very immediate conflict.

In arguably the most iconic movie of the ‘Hollywood New Wave’ of the 1960’s, Dustin Hoffman plays Benjamin Braddock, promising academic and track star, who returns to Los Angeles after graduation. At a party thrown by his parents, he is lured by old family friend Mrs Robinson into taking her home. He first flees from her advances, but shortly thereafter begins an affair with her. But then Ben’s unwitting parents goad him into taking the Robinsons’ daughter, Elaine, on a date...

Ermanno Olmi • Italy 1978 • 2h59m • Digital • Italian with English subtitles • 15 - Contains moderate scenes of animal slaughter. • Cast: Luigi Ornaghi, Francesca Moriggi, Omar Brignoli, Antonio Ferrari.

Inspired by stories told to him by his grandmother, Ermanno Olmi’s Palme d’Or winning masterpiece offers an extraordinary portrait of peasant life in turn of the century Lombardy, Northern Italy. He uses the passing seasons of the year to provide a structure within which he captures the lives, quirks, foibles and hardships of those who work on the land.

An incredible feat of filmmaking, with exceptional performances from non-professional, local actors, The Tree of Wooden Clogs was mentioned by Al Pacino when asked to name his favourite film.

Daughters of the Dust

Victim

Tue 25 to Thu 27 Jul

Fri 28 to Mon 31 Jul

Julie Dash • UK/USA 1991 • 1h52m • Digital • 12A - Contains sexual violence references, moderate bad language, drug misuse.

Cast: Alva Rogers, Bahni Turpin, Barbara-O, Cheryl Lynn Bruce, Cora Lee Day.

Basil Dearden • UK 1961 • 1h41m • Digital • PG - Contains mild language and sex references • Cast: Dirk Bogarde, Sylvia Syms, Dennis Price, John Barrie, Peter McEnery, Nigel Stock.

A new restoration of Julie Dash’s Daughters of the Dust. At the dawn of the 20th century, a multigenerational family in the Gullah community on the Sea Islands off of South Carolina - former West African slaves who adopted many of their ancestors’ Yoruba traditions - struggle to maintain their cultural heritage and folklore while contemplating a migration to the mainland, even further from their roots. The first wide release by a black female filmmaker, it was met with wild critical acclaim when it opened in 1991.

A fascinating slice of social history. Dirk Bogarde’s closeted, married lawyer Melville Farr is drawn into exposing a terrifying blackmail ring when a young admirer (Peter McEnery) commits suicide rather than implicate him. Director Basil Dearden denounced the poisonous, institutionalised homophobia gay men of all classes faced in that era, and cleverly packaged this within an accessible, entertaining crime-thriller.

Victim, and Bogarde’s courageous appearance in it, helped propel public discourse towards the 1967 Act and beyond - changing lives in the process.

Edgar Wright • UK/USA 2017 • 1h53m • Digital • 15 - Contains strong language, violence. • Cast: Ansel Elgort, Kevin Spacey, Jon Hamm, Jamie Foxx, Lily James, Jon Bernthal, Eiza González.

Barak Heymann, Tomer Heymann • Israel/UK 2016 • 1h25m • Digital • Hebrew and English with English subtitles • 15 - Contains strong language. • Documentary.

Master of kinetic, whip-smart cult hits, Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World) turns his hand to the heist movie in this ecstatic, star-studded joyride. Baby (Ansel Elgort) is a getaway driver extraordinaire. Working to the frenetic beat of his constantly plugged-in earbuds, he’s the best in the business - but he wants out. Soon after falling for Deborah (Lily James), he finds himself forced to work with criminal kingpin Doc (Kevin Spacey) and his crew on an elaborate heist that seems doomed from the start...

For Saar, the eighteen years since his exclusion from a kibbutz and moving to London have allowed him to live freely as a gay man, but the pain of estrangement from his family always lingers. Following an HIV diagnosis, Saar rethinks his life. He finds new hope in the London Gay Men’s Chorus, where the love, camaraderie and music gives him the courage to meet his family again. The insightful, personal and charming Who’s Gonna Love Me Now? charts the remarkable journey of an entire family.

Incident at Loch Ness

Tue 18 Jul at 6.10pm

Sun 13 Aug at 6.00pm

Werner Herzog • USA 2007 • 1h39m • English and Spanish with English subtitles • U - Contains mild sex references • Documentary.

Zak Penn • UK 2004 • 1h34m • 35mm • 12A • Cast: Werner Herzog, Kitana Baker, Gabriel Beristain, Russell Williams II.

Herzog travels to the Antarctic community of McMurdo Station, headquarters of the National Science Foundation and home to eleven hundred people during the austral summer, which runs from October to February. He examines human nature and Mother nature, juxtaposing breathtaking locations with the profound, surreal experiences of those who choose to form a society as far away from society as one can get. And, of course, there’s that penguin.

An irreverent and self-referential mockumentary, starring Herzog as himself as he embarks on a new project - the film within a film - about the legendary Loch Ness Monster. There’s immediate friction with his producer (director Zak Penn) as their differing visions for the film clash, and their shoot in Scotland is increasingly disasterous as a result. At times silly, at times bitingly satirical, Incident at Loch Ness has a lot of ammunition to aim at verité filmmaking and Hollywood ego.

Mad Max: Fury Road

Black and Chrome Sun 9 Jul at 8.40pm

George Miller • Australia/USA 2015 • 2h • Digital • 15 - Contains strong violence, threat • Cast: Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult, Hugh Keays-Byrne, Josh Helman, Nathan Jones.

The stunning ‘Black and Chrome’ edition of George Miller’s return to Mad Max is a cinema-must. Tom Hardy dons the leather shoulder pad as the titular hero, once again embroiled in a furious struggle for justice in the desert wilds. This time, alongside fierce Furiosa (Charlize Theron) and irradiated ‘War Boy’ Nux (Nicholas Hoult), he wages war on the oppressive cult leader, Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne, who played the villain in the first Mad Max back in 1979!). As the trio learn to trust one another, their fight for survival becomes a quest for redemption, punctuated by jaw-dropping action, visceral thrills and stunningly realised production design.

“Fury Road is a defiantly individual riposte to those committee-led blockbusters which are built on CGI and designed to sell toys.” - Nicholas Barber, BBC.com

Sam Peckinpah • USA 1969 • 2h25m • Digital • English, Spanish and German with English subtitles • 18 • Cast: William Holden, Ernest Borgnine, Robert Ryan, Edmond O’Brien, Warren Oates.

Andrew Kötting • UK 2016 • 1h1m • Digital • PG • Cast: David Aylward, Claudia Barton, Anonymous Bosch, Jem Finer, Andrew Kötting.

Every now and again, a great film quietly becomes available (again) to cinemas in a brand new print or in a new digital version. These we will showcase in our irregular and ongoing Come and See series.

Edith Walks is inspired by a walk from Waltham Abbey in Essex to St Leonards-on-Sea in East Sussex.

Filmed on ‘Digital Super 8’ iPhones, it documents a pilgrimage in memory of Edith Swan Neck, hand fast wife of King Harold. His remains were brought to Waltham for burial in 1066, and Edith is seen cradling him in a sculpture in St Leonards. Featuring a variety of encounters and impromptu performances en route, the film re-connects the lovers after 950 years.

Not just a landmark in screen violence, but a definitive turning point in US cinema, this is Sam Peckinpah’s masterpiece, one of the great movies of the last 50 years. Vietnam brought carnage to the TV news, Peckinpah put it on the big screen, in multiple angles, agonising slow-motion, and stinging vehemence.

Yet for all its martial horrors, the film exerts a rueful, tender melancholy as the old West passes into history, and, in their death-throes, the old timers finally acknowledge their collusion in its demise.

Peter Watkins • UK 1964 • 1h9m • Digital • English and Scottish Gaelic with English subtitles • 12 • Cast: Tony Gosgrove, George McBean, Don Fairservice, Robert Oates.

Growing Pains shows classic and contemporary films dealing with some of the more complex aspects of childhood. All films followed by an informal chat and introduced by Jessie Moroney, a member of the programming team who attended the Practical Programming course with the Independent Cinema Office.

On an island off the coast of New England, two preteens, Sam and Suzy, fall in love during the summer of 1965. Seemingly aware that they will soon be too old for irresponsible behaviour, they make a secret pact, and run away together into the wilderness.

Meanwhile, a hurricane is brewing over their caper. A symbol for the volatile nature of the Sixties which is beginning to erupt on the west coast, the hurricane closes over the couple, just as the east of the USA enjoys its final glimpses of innocence of the decade.

Peter Watkins imagines a documentary crew covering the Battle of Culloden. This ground-breaking film conveys an incredible amount of political and historical information within a humanistic, gripping narrative. A detailed study of the 1746 battle and the ensuing brutal suppression of the Highland Scots, Culloden presented a radical political statement at the time - particularly in the shadow of the Vietnam War. Introduced by David Forsyth, Principal Curator of Medieval-Early Modern Collections and curator of the Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Jacobites exhibition. www.nms.ac.uk/jacobites

The Birds - relocated from the novel’s Cornwall setting to northern California - remains one of Hitchcock’s most iconic and visually arresting films. Experience collective dread with your fellow filmgoers as the crows begin to settle on that climbing frame...

Double Bill: Ariel + Leningrad Cowboys Go America Sat 15 Jul at 2.15pm 2h46m • 15

A pair of late-80s Aki Kaurismäki gems which marked the Finn out as an emerging talent to watch in European cinema. Ariel is the story of Taisto (Turo Pajala), a freshly redundant coal miner who is gifted a white Cadillac convertible by his father, who then promptly commits suicide. It’s a despairing situation that Kaurismäki fills with what has become his trademark - dark, doleful irony and straight-faced wit.

The truly odd and funny Leningrad Cowboys Go America sees a (fictional) Russian accordion band head out on tour in the USA - on the advice of a local record producer, who no longer wants to hear them.

Their Stateside adventures lead them to make an epic trip across country down to Mexico... £12/£10 Ariel Aki Kaurismäki • Finland 1988 • 1h13m • Digital • Finnish with English subtitles • 15 Leningrad Cowboys Go America

Aki Kaurismäki • Finland/Sweden 1989 • 1h18m • Digital • Finnish and Swedish with English subtitles • 15

Double bill

Double Bill: The Match Factory Girl + Drifting Clouds Sat 22 Jul at 2.30pm 3h • 15

Regular Kaurismäki collaborator Kati Outinen is the star of this terrific 1990s double. In The Match Factory Girl she inhabits the title role of Iiris, who begins the story working a dead-end job and living with her mother and stepfather. It’s a story of spurned love and dark revenge, that the director somehow manages to weave moments of absurd humour into.

Outinen plays newly unemployed waitress Ilona in Drifting Clouds, married to (also newly unemployed) tram driver Lauri (Kari Väänänen) and set on a course of total self-destruction and squalor. It seems hopeless, but the gently absurd humour, brightly coloured tones and the presence of their little dog Pietari suggests otherwise... £12/£10 The Match Factory Girl (Tulitikkutehtaan tyttö) Aki Kaurismäki • Finland/Sweden 1990 • 1h8m • Digital • Finnish with English subtitles • 15

Tue 18 Jul at 1.20pm Olivier Nakache & Eric Toledano • France 2011 • 1h52m • Digital French with English subtitles • 15 - Contains strong language and soft drug use • Cast: François Cluzet, Omar Sy, Anne Le Ny, Audrey Fleurot, Clotilde Mollet.

A fuse-lighting comedy that became France’s secondbiggest box-office hit of all time with its portrait of friendship across the racial and economic divide.

Paralysed from the neck down after an accident, gloomy millionaire Philippe (François Cluzet) finds little in life worth living for, until the arrival of his new assistant Driss (Omar Sy), a Senegalese rowdy from the downtrodden ‘banlieues’. Not quite on doctor’s orders, Driss takes Philippe out of his comfort zone and into a world he never knew existed.

Pillow Talk Tue 1 Aug at 1.15pm Michael Gordon • USA 1959 • 1h42m • Digital • English and French with English subtitles • PG - Contains mild sex references.

Cast: Doris Day, Rock Hudson, Tony Randall, Thelma Ritter.

An Oscar® winner in 1959 for its frothy screwball screenplay, Pillow Talk hinges on an old-fashioned technical hitch (two apartments having to share a ‘party line’ telephone) but is still lots of fun today thanks to the script and terrific chemistry between stars Rock Hudson and Doris Day. Jan (Day), a successful decorator, bickers with Broadway composer Brad (Hudson) about his constant use of their shared phoneline - primarily to woo women. At the beginning of the film the pair have never even met, but all that is about to change...

Education and Learning Autumn Education Programme We are currently preparing our schools programme for the autumn and welcome teachers’ input. If you would like to organise a screening of a particular film, or have any suggestions about taopics or curriculum areas that we could support, please contact Flip Kulakiewicz at education@cmi-scotland.co.uk

Spanish Film Screenings The Edinburgh Spanish Film Festival returns this autumn with three new releases suitable for Primary and Secondary pupils.

Zip & Zap and the Captain’s Island (Zipe y Zape y la Isla del Capitan) Wednesday 4 October, 10am • 105 min, Spanish with English subtitles, Certificate PG, Suitable for ages 8+, Modern Languages (Spanish) It’s Christmas, and twins Zip and Zap have accidentally set a toy store on fire. As punishment they are sent on a business trip with their parents to a remote island. However they get lost en route and end up staying the night with the eccentric Miss Pam in her Victorian mansion for lost children. The next morning, their parents are nowhere to be found. Nothing is what it seems, and Zip and Zap now have to uncover the island’s mysterious secret and find their mum and dad. With sweeping views of the dramatic Basque coast and settings that evoke stories from J.M. Barrie and Jules Verne, the latest chapter in the Zip and Zap saga is equal parts comic book fun and mysterious adventure.

100 Meters (100 Metros) Thursday 5 October, 10am • 108 min, Spanish with English subtitles, Advised certificate 12A, Suitable for ages 12+, Modern Languages (Spanish) Inspired by the amazing true story of Ramon Arroyo, a father of two children who is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and told that he will never be able to run one hundred meters. Ignoring the warning, and after overcoming a fit of depression, he trains hard to participate in Ironman, one of the most difficult triathlon competitions in the world. The competition consists of a 3.8km swim, 180km bicycle ride and a marathon run of 42km, to be completed in one day with no breaks. However, this does not scare Ramon. He is determined to prove to the world that surrender is never an option!

Rara Wednesday 11 October, 10am • 88 min, Spanish with English subtitles, Certificate 12A, Suitable for ages 12+, Modern Languages (Spanish) Since their parents’ break up, Sara and her younger sister have lived with their mother and her new female partner. Everyday life for the four of them is the same as it is for other families, but not everyone sees it that way – their father in particular has his doubts. As Sara’s thirteenth birthday approaches, she starts to feel overwhelmed: she experiences her first crush, her body is changing and, to top it all off, she has to choose between her parents. Rara is a charming, endearing, and meaningful take on family life, reflecting the LGBT community’s continuing struggle to gain equal rights and respect in the world.

FILMHOUSEcinema.COM

Jazz on Summer Days Returning for a second year, we present a diverse season of films that celebrate jazz on screen - from portraits of iconic musicians, to brilliant soundtracks, to captivating performances that punctuate the cinematic drama.

Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival returns from 14-23 July, with a host of events across the city and performances from some of the most sought-after names in jazz and blues. edinburghjazzfestival.com

TICKET OFFER (see page 15)

Cabin in the Sky Mon 10 Jul at 1.15pm & 8.40pm Vincente Minnelli • USA 1943 • 1h38m • 35mm • U Cast: Ethel Waters, Eddie ‘Rochester’ Anderson, Lena Horne, Louis Armstrong, Rex Ingram.

The first major screen musical from Vincente Minnelli and featuring work from Busby Berkeley, Cabin in the Sky is a wonderful showcase of some of the great African-American musicians of the era, including Louis Armstrong, John Bubbles and Duke Ellington.

Ethel Waters stars as the wife of a mortally wounded gambler (Eddie ‘Rochester’ Anderson), and the story takes shape as her prayers allow him to return to life for six months - as heaven and hell vie for his soul...

PLUS SHORT Black and Tan Dudley Murphy • USA 1929 • 20m • Digital • U

Shadows Tue 11 Jul at 1.45pm & 8.40pm John Cassavetes • USA 1959 • 1h22m • 35mm • 12A - Contains a single use of strong language and moderate sex references Cast: Ben Carruthers, Lelia Goldoni, Hugh Hurd, Anthony Ray.

Cassavetes’ influential first film follows two brothers and a sister working out various tensions between themselves, other friends and lovers in the New York beat scene - but the plot certainly plays second fiddle to the electric atmosphere and edgy performances.

They amble through smoky nightclubs, pretentious parties and beery beatnik conversations. With a blue and moody Charles Mingus soundtrack and steelgrey photography, it’s still a delight.

Chasing Trane: The John Coltrane Documentary

PREVIEW SCREENING Thu 13 Jul at 8.30pm

John Scheinfeld • USA 2016 • 1h39m • Digital • cert tbc Documentary featuring Denzel Washington, Common.

A new, definitive documentary about an outside-thebox thinker with extraordinary talent whose music continues to impact and influence people today.

John Coltrane’s first introduction to music came from his father, who inspired him to pick up a saxophone at 13. Produced with the participation of the Coltrane family and set against the social, political and cultural landscape of the era, the in-depth Chasing Trane explores Coltrane, the artist and the man.

Sun 23 Jul at 5.55pm

Mon 24 Jul at 6.10pm

Asif Kapadia • UK 2015 • 2h8m • Digital • 15 - Contains very strong language, strong drug references • Documentary featuring Amy Winehouse, Mark Ronson, Tony Bennett, Salaam Remi.

Andrew Stone • USA 1943 • 1h18m • Digital • U • Cast: Lena Horne, Bill Robinson, Cab Calloway, Fats Waller, Ada Brown, Dooley Wilson.

An absorbing, moving and insightful documentary from Asif Kapadia (who directed Oscar®-winning documentary Senna) that charts the amazing highs and terrible lows in the life of the wonderfully talented but terribly troubled Amy Winehouse, who died in 2011, as told by those who grew up with her and knew her best. Great use of home video, camera phones, archive footage and interviews combine to craft a mesmerising - and often very sad - film brimming with magical musical moments.

Anatomy of a Murder

Andrew Stone directs what is thinly-veiled excuse to enjoy the finest African-American musicians of the 1930s and ‘40s. Dancer Bill Williamson (Bill ‘Bojangles’ Robinson) sees his face on the cover of a theatre magazine, prompting a flashback to his return from WWI, his on-again off-again romance with rising star Selina (Lena Horne) and a climactic, all-star stage show led by the great Cab Calloway.

PLUS SHORT A Bundle of Blues

Fred Waller • USA 1933 • 10m • Digital • U

Bird

Tue 25 Jul at 2.15pm & 8.00pm

Thu 27 Jul at 2.15pm & 8.10pm

Otto Preminger • USA 1959 • 2h41m • Digital • 12A • Cast: James Stewart, Lee Remick, Ben Gazzara, George C Scott, Eve Arden.

Clint Eastwood • USA 1988 • 2h35m • Digital • 15 • Cast: Forest Whitaker, Diane Venora, Michael Zelniker, Samuel E. Wright.

In 1959, Otto Preminger’s cynical, witty and compelling courtroom drama stunned a public unused to such frank forensic testimony and detail of sexual assault. The fuss seems ridiculous now (X-rated at the time, a 12 now), but the power of the film remains. With superb acting all round, James Stewart takes top honours as smalltown lawyer Paul Biegler, pitting his wits against big city state prosecutor, Claude Dancer (George C Scott). For many the best courtroom drama ever made, featuring one of the best film scores ever, courtesy of Duke Ellington.

Clint Eastwood’s long-held love of jazz music comes to the fore in this Golden Globe (Best Director) and Oscar®-winning (Best Sound) biopic of Charlie ‘Bird’ Parker (Forest Whitaker). Often cited as an underrated gem in Eastwood’s filmography, Bird is a musicdriven, vivid portrait of a wildly talented yet troubled man, whose life-altering battle against drug addiction was bolstered by the determination and devotion of his wife Chan (the excellent Diane Venora). A film that’s compassionate, haunting at times and crucially - sounds absolutely great.

Vanishing Point

Tue 18 Jul at 2.30pm & 8.30pm William Friedkin • USA 1971 • 1h44m • Digital • English and French with English subtitles • 18 - Contains strong violence and langauge.

Cast: Gene Hackman, Fernando Rey, Roy Scheider, Tony Lo Bianco.

William Friedkin’s hugely influential thriller from 1971 is a fictionalised account of New York City’s largest drug bust. But at the same time it is about blurring the line between good guys and bad guys, and the gritty, yet often boring pursuit of narcotics crime. Gene Hackman is the relentlessly obsessive Jimmy ‘Popeye’ Doyle, as certain of his hunches as he is unmindful of the line that separates cop from criminal. He bears down on international drug smuggler Charnier (Fernando Rey), resulting in one of cinema’s most dizzying chase sequences.

The Driver

Wed 19 Jul at 2.30pm & 8.30pm

Thu 20 Jul at 2.30pm & 8.45pm

Richard C. Sarafian • USA/UK 1971 • 1h38m • Digital • 18 • Cast: Barry Newman, Cleavon Little, Dean Jagger, Victoria Medlin, Paul Koslo.

Walter Hill • USA 1978 • 1h31m • 35mm • PG - Contains strong violence. • Cast: Ryan O’Neal, Bruce Dern.

An anti-establishment fantasy of a road movie, Vanishing Point’s protagonist Kowalski (Barry Newman) is an ex-cop, an ex-racecar driver and a Vietnam vet. Now delivering cars across the country for cash, he’s haunted and driven on by his chequered past. Hopped up on stimulants and adrenaline, he takes the wheel of a pristine white Dodge Challenger and sets off for San Francisco, encountering drag racers, hitchhikers, bikers and cops, who pursue him across the country while blind radio DJ Super Soul (Cleavon Little) cheers him on over the airwaves.

An expert getaway driver (Ryan O’Neal) plays a dangerous game of cat and mouse with an arrogant detective (Bruce Dern) who will go to any lengths to catch him. Enhanced by Philip H Lathrop’s stunning cinematography and an unforgettable performance from Dern, Walter Hill’s most obviously influential film is a neo-noir tour-de-force featuring some of the most stylish, thrilling car chase sequences ever shot, with cameras mounted on car bumpers and stunning high speed scenes through the rain-soaked L.A. streets.

Bullitt Fri 21 Jul at 3.40pm & 8.45pm Peter Yates • USA 1968 • 1h53m • Digital • 15 - Contains strong language. • Cast: Steve McQueen, Robert Vaughn, Jacqueline Bisset, Don Gordon, Simon Oakland.

One of those films that’s so iconic you feel like you’ve seen it even if you haven’t. In one of his most famous roles, Steve McQueen stars as tough-guy police detective Frank Bullitt, assigned for 48 hours to watch a witness before his trial. However, when the witness and another officer are shot, Bullitt decides to investigate the case on his own, much to the dismay of an ambitious Senator (Robert Vaughn) who wants to shut the investigation down, hindering Bullitt’s plan to bring the killers to justice.

A postcard travelogue/time capsule of San Francisco in the 1960s - the city even let them shoot up the airport (try that these days!) - it also features one of the great insane car chases in movie history where, of course, Steve McQueen did his own driving.

Two-Lane Blacktop

Drive

Sat 22 Jul at 11.30am & 8.45pm

Wed 26 Jul at 1.00pm & 6.10pm

Monte Hellman • USA 1971 • 1h42m • Digital • 15 - Contains strong language. • Cast: James Taylor, Warren Oates, Laurie Bird.

Nicolas Winding Refn • USA 2011 • 1h40m • Digital • 18 - Contains strong gory violence • Cast: Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan, Bryan Cranston, Albert Brooks, Christina Hendricks.

The definition of ‘70s cool and a cinematic vision of Route 66 before the interstate highways - Two-Lane Blacktop has been the benchmark and inspiration for countless road movies ever since. Monte Hellman’s film stars singer-songwriter James Taylor and Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson, who play a pair of petrolheads drifting around, challenging locals to drag races. Along the way, they pick up a hitchhiker (Laurie Bird) and encounter rival racer GTO (Warren Oates), who challenges them to an epic race to Washington. The prize for winning - the loser’s car.

Danish wunderkind Nicholas WInding Refn came of age with this stylish and violent revenge drama that won him the directing prize at Cannes. Ryan Gosling stars as a nameless stunt performer and getaway driver, who acts to protect his neighbour (Carey Mulligan) and her young son when they are menaced by gangsters. A thrilling mix of The Driver and gaming phenomenon Grand Theft Auto, set to an effortlessly cool electronic soundtrack.

For these shows we choose to screen dubbed versions where these are available, but some films will be in their original language with subtitles – these are marked on individual film descriptions.

Please note: although we normally disapprove of people talking during screenings, these shows are primarily for kids, so grownups should expect some noise!

My Life as a Courgette Sun 9 Jul at 11.00am Claude Barras • Switzerland/France 2016 • 1h6m • Digital PG - Contains mild sex references, references to traumatic childhood experiences.

Touching stop-motion animated feature with dark themes that will call to mind the likes of Coraline, My Life as a Courgette is at times funny and heartbreaking in the same frame. Nine year old Icare, nicknamed ‘Courgette’, is taken to a foster care centre and struggles to fit in. With the help of tough kid Simon and new arrival Camille, he soon learns that all of them have been through a lot.

Molly Monster the Movie Sun 16 Jul at 11.00am

The Jungle Book Sun 23 Jul at 11.00am

Ted Sieger, Michael Ekbladh, Matthias Bruhn • Switzerland/Germany/Sweden 2017 • 1h12m • Digital • U

Jon Favreau • USA 2016 • 1h46m • Digital PG - Contains mild threat.

Charming animation with a great message for young siblings. Molly Monster is the deeply-loved only-monster of Popo and Etna Monster. She spends her days playing with her best friend Edison, a clockwork toy with a life of his own. But when Mama gives birth to an egg Molly sets out on a journey to find her new place in the family.

The journey takes her far away from home and eventually to Egg Island...

The stunning new imagining of a classic adventure - in which orphan Mowgli is raised in the wilderness by wolves, a bear and a panther.

He sets out on a journey across the jungle, hunted by the fearsome Shere Khan and encountering an array of recognisable characters along the way.

Keeping the key song-and-dances, it’s a visually splendid fusion of animation and live action, and of the Kipling story and the animated classic.

Aaron Woodley • Canada/South Korea 2016 • 1h31m • Digital PG - Contains mild threat, fantasy violence.

Steven Spielberg • USA 1982 • 2h • Digital • U - Contains very mild language and threat.

Spark is a wisecracking teenage monkey living on the abandoned planet of Bana with his friends Chunk (a pig) and Vix (a fox). Years ago, the power-hungry General Zhong seized control of Bana, and now Zhong plans to wipe out the entire universe. An original, action-packed space odyssey filled with humour, Spark is an adventure about becoming the hero you were born to be.

E.T. is a soulful mix of fairytale and fable, a family classic in which a curious alien visiting Earth becomes stranded when his ship leaves him behind. Discovered by lonely eight-year-old Elliott, a friendship develops between the two as Elliott vows to help E.T. contact home while escaping government scientists. 35 years on, it still has the power to thrill and enchant.

88 LOTHIAN ROAD

Ian Rankin is the first guest programmer in this brand new Filmhouse initiative.

Quite simply, these are some of my favourite films, ones I’ve watched a dozen times and would happily watch a dozen more. They all involve crime, but are very different in tone. Some have happy endings; others most definitely don’t.

I’ve always been a fan of fictional heists, and That Sinking Feeling is one of the best because it offers such a fresh take on the genre. (Look out for the policeman’s diced cap and see if you can spot the milk-bottle top.) Get Carter and The Long Good Friday meantime are the epitome of British gangster films of their respective eras, films which get us rooting for their morally dubious heroes even as we realise they are most probably doomed, in the best tradition of noir. But almost darker still is the sun-kissed Chinatown, with its maze-like plot and chilling climax. Jack Nicholson has never been better, LA never looked more dangerously alluring, and the script by Robert Towne is an absolute doozy.

Reichenbach Falls Sat 1 July at 1.15pm John McKay • UK 2007 • 1h15m • Digital • 15 Cast: Alec Newman, Alastair Mackenzie, Nina Sosanya.

Wry and obsessive DI Buchan is a cop on the edge; suave and self-assured Jack Harvey is a best-selling crime novelist with the world at his feet. As Buchan probes a 100-year-old cold case, his investigation takes him on a journey into the Scottish capital’s literary past that will cause him to question his very existence and set him on a collision course with his onetime friend…

Screening as part of RebusFest, For more information please visit www.ianrankin.net

Then there’s the genius of Hitchcock and his take on John Buchan’s adventure story The Thirty-Nine Steps, with such great chemistry between Robert Donat and Madeleine Carroll – not to mention Peggy Ashcroft’s Scottish accent!

To complete the bill, there’s a rare chance to see a made-for-television film called Reichenbach Falls, loosely based on my short story The Acid Test.

Scripted by James Mavor and directed by John McKay, this is the twisted tale of an Edinburgh cop who begins to be visited by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and the news he bears comes as quite a shock.

Something there for everyone, I hope, from capers and chases to car wrecks and catastrophes.

Buckle up…

Get Carter Wed 19 Jul at 6.05pm Mike Hodges • UK 1971 • 1h52m • 35mm • 18 - Contains strong violence and sex • Cast: Michael Caine, Ian Hendry, John Osborne, Britt Ekland, Tony Beckley.

Get Carter exploded onto the screen in 1971.

With Michael Caine in one of his grittiest roles, this seminal British crime thriller offered a new kind of anti-hero. Jack Carter may read Raymond Chandler but he’s no Marlowesque moral-minded maverick, rather a ruthless gangster on a single-minded quest for vengeance. Returning home from London to Newcastle to investigate his brother’s murder, he leaves a trail of discarded women, battered friends and foes and sundry corpses in his wake.

That Sinking Feeling

Wed 26 Jul at 3.20pm & 8.25pm

Wed 2 Aug at 6.15pm

Roman Polanski • USA 1974 • 2h11m • Digital • 15 - Contains strong violence • Cast: Jack Nicholson, Faye Dunaway, John Huston, Diane Ladd, Roman Polanski.

Bill Forsyth • UK 1979 • 1h30m • Digital • 12A - Contains strong language, sexualised nudity, suicide references • Cast: Robert Buchanan, John Hughes, Billy Greenlees, Douglas Sannachan.

Roman Polanski’s silky film noir, widely regarded as among the greatest of all American crime movies.

Private eye Jake Gittes (Jack Nicholson) is hired to investigate an extra-marital affair involving the husband of Evelyn Mulwray (Faye Dunaway). When the husband is later found dead, his position as water commissioner during a curious drought in L.A. raises suspicions. Nicholson is magnetic, and Dunaway excels as the mysterious widow with a timeless veneer of class, with the cracks leading to the dark secrets that her formidable father, John Huston, holds.

Bill Forsyth’s great debut feature - which had its World Premiere at EIFF in 1979 - is a hilarious and inventive zero-budget depiction of 1970s Glasgow youth.

Unemployed teenager Ronnie (Robert Buchanan, Gregory’s Girl) and his hapless pals - Wal, Andy and Vic - spend their time hanging around the rainy parks and dingy cafes of Glasgow. Their world changes, however, when Ronnie hatches a convoluted plan to make them all rich - by stealing a job-lot of stainless steel sinks...

The 39 Steps

The Long Good Friday

Wed 9 Aug at 6.10pm

Wed 16 Aug at at 6.00pm

Alfred Hitchcock • UK 1935 • 1h27m • Digital • U - Contains very mild language and violence • Cast: Robert Donat, Madeleine Carroll, Lucie Mannheim, Godfrey Tearle, Peggy Ashcroft.

John Mackenzie • UK 1980 • 1h54m • Digital • English and French with English subtitles • 18 - Contains strong bloody violence, strong language • Cast: Bob Hoskins, Helen Mirren, Eddie Constantine.

Swept from a London music hall to the Scottish Highlands and back to the Palladium, Robert Donat’s Richard Hannay is the archetypal wrongly accused man, embarking on a quest to find the villain and prove his innocence. The model for many subsequent films, this amazingly pacy version of John Buchan’s novel is one of Hitchcock’s most fully satisfying achievements: tense, witty, effortlessly stylish and emotionally direct, it’s also his warmest, most touching movie.

A London mob boss struggles to retain control of his untouchable lifestyle when he unwittingly becomes a target of the IRA. In a changing city where property development is exploding into life and corruption is rife, gangster kingpin Harold Shand (Bob Hoskins) sees his ambitious plans go awry when he is routed by a sudden attack. John Mackenzie’s hard-edged thriller showcases the talents of two British all-time greats - Hoskins and Helen Mirren - and skilfully weaves cultural themes of the time into its plot, culminating in a truly memorable final scene.

Three Films From...

Abbas Kiarostami A year ago, the global cinema community lost one of its most important figures in Abbas Kiarostami.

A poetic, influential filmmaker from the Iranian capital of Tehran, his background was in painting and artistic design. Kiarostami’s early film work stemmed from the emergence of the ‘Iranian New Wave’ in the 1960s/1970s and a prolific nature saw him involved in over 40 films - including shorts and documentaries - across his 47 year filmography.

His final project, 24 Frames, premiered at Cannes in 2017.

Following last month’s trio of Jacques Becker films, we’re delighted to present three films from the late, great Abbas Kiarostami.

The Report and The Traveller screening courtesy of the British Council.

The Report

Gozaresh

Fri 21 Jul at 6.05pm Abbas Kiarostami • Iran 1977 • 1h52m • Digital • Persian with English subtitles • 15 • Cast: Kurosh Afsharpanah, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Mehdi Montazar, Mostafa Tari.

Shohreh Aghdashloo - who would go on to be nominated for an Oscar® in 2003 - plays the wife of a civil servant accused of bribery (Kurosh Afsharpanah) in Kiarostami’s first ‘full length’ feature, which was also his first feature with professional actors. Made just a couple of years before the Iranian Revolution of 1979, this story of a struggling family of three is a fascinating time capsule of middle class Tehran at the time, and would go on to inspire other Iranian filmmakers, such as Asghar Farhadi, in years to come.

The Traveller

Taste of Cherry

Mon 24 Jul at 8.55pm

Thu 27 Jul at 6.25pm

Abbas Kiarostami • Iran 1974 • 1h23m • Digital • Persian with English subtitles • 12A • Cast: Hassan Darabi, Masud Zandbegleh.

Abbas Kiarostami • Iran/France 1997 • 1h39m • 35mm • Persian with English subtitles • PG • Cast: Homayoun Ershadi, Abdolragnab Bagheri, Afshin Khorshid Bakhtiari, Safar Ali Moradi.

Kiarostami’s The Traveller displays a number of his hallmarks, even at this early stage, including childhood, moral dilemma and the role of communities. Our protagonist - 12 year old Qassem (Hassan Darabi) - is a football fanatic with not a penny in his pocket but a head full of schemes and excuses for his teacher. With an important match coming up 150 miles away in Tehran, Qassem hatches a plan to gather the money for bus fare and a ticket by ‘taking photos’ of his classmates with an empty camera...

Ta’m e guilass

A man drives around the desert hills offering a series of carefully selected men a lift and unusually well paid work. He’s not looking for a pick-up, but, as we discover after a while, someone to help in his planned suicide. Characteristically, Kiarostami’s Palme d’Or winner slowly reveals more and more information, until we are totally caught up in the psychological and ethical dilemma - suicide is forbidden by Islam.
