Introduction

SON OF SAUL

VICTORIA

DEAD BY DAWN

SEVEN SAMURAI

Filmhouse – like The Tower of Babel, but with subtitles.

One glance at our April programme and what stands out for me, beyond the astonishing array of quality cinema, is just how many different languages are represented in it. Hungarian, Yiddish, German, Japanese, Russian, English, Polish, French, Greek, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Tamil, Korean, Marathi, Gujarati, Hindi…

N’orn Irish... After all those American Oscar® hopefuls that tend to be released over the Awards Season (the first two months of the year, or the ‘Awards Corridor’ as some of the more meaningless-jargon-prone film distributors tend to refer to it), and as much as we have all enjoyed them this year, it feels good to go all ‘arthouse’ again, n’est-ce pas? The film responsible for quite a few of those languages deservedly and perhaps unsurprisingly won one of those Awards – namely the Best Foreign language Film Oscar® – and is of course Son of Saul, László Nemes astonishing drama set around one of a group of Hungarian Sonderkommando in Auschwitz in 1944. Here’s what Variety had to say about it: “a masterful exercise in narrative deprivation and sensory overload that recasts familiar horrors in daringly existential terms” - and whilst I regularly take issue with film critics and their oft-questionable assessments, well… I’m not going to argue with that one.

That’s toward the end of the month, there’s the Cannes 2015 Palme D’or winner to get out of the way first! Dheepan was perhaps a slightly surprising winner at the time given the competition, but Jacques Audiard’s simply and brilliantly told crime tale – about an ex-Tamil Tiger asylum-seeker (and his ‘family’) starting over as the caretaker of a gangster run Parisian housing project – was a very worthy winner nonetheless. Victoria, which we screened to much acclaim last year in our Fokus: Films from Germany season, is the almost insanely ambitious, hugely impressive, 138-minute one-take Berlin-set thriller that sees a young Spanish woman drawn into the increasingly dodgy dealings of a bunch of local likely lads. Changing the pace rather spectacularly is Hirokazu Koreeda’s lovely (best word I could think of for this gentle charmer) Our Little Sister, in which three sisters, who live sans parents in their late grandmother’s house, meet their half-sister at their estranged father’s funeral… The intriguing Couple in a Hole is about a Scots couple (played by our very own Paul Higgins and Kate Dickie) who, for no reason that is immediately obvious, live in a hole in a Pyrenean French Forest. Also, as plagued by production problems as it was, Jane Got A Gun turns out to be a very decent femme-centred Western in which a doughty young mother (Natalie Portman) must ask her ex-lover for help in order to save her outlaw husband from a gang (led

by Ewan McGregor) out to kill him; and I Am Belfast is now local boy Mark Cousins’ poetic and moving love letter to the city of the title and of his birth.

Our annual horror festival Dead by Dawn takes its usual April berth in a remarkable 23rd edition, which I read somewhere makes it the UK’s longest-running of its kind. Impressive stuff… Akira Kurosawa’s late masterpiece Ran has had the full restoration treatment and screens here in the first week of the month – we’ve followed it up with a couple of ace double bills from the great man, and a rare screening of his undisputed masterwork, Seven Samurai, or, as I like to call it, Shichinin no samurai.

Ni iru spekti filmon!

Akira Kurosawa • Japan/France 1985 • 2h40m • Digital • Japanese with English subtitles • 12A - Contains moderate bloody violence Cast: Tatsuya Nakadai, Akira Terao, Jinpachi Nezu, Daisuke Ryu, Mieko Harada.

Sebastian Schipper • Germany 2015 • 2h18m • Digital • German, English and Spanish with English subtitles • 15 - Contains strong language, drug use Cast: Laia Costa, Frederick Lau, Franz Rogowski, Burak Yigit, Max Mauff, André M Hennicke.

Jimmy Chin & Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi • USA 2015 • 1h30m Digital • 15 - Contains strong language Documentary featuring Conrad Anker, Grace Chin, Jimmy Chin.

Akira Kurosawa’s astonishing medieval epic, a loose adaptation of King Lear set amid the civil war of 16th century Japan, makes a welcome return to the big screen in a dazzling digital restoration to celebrate the 30th anniversary of its release.

Inspired by the life of Mori Motonari, a warlord who ends up relinquishing his crown to his three conniving sons, Ran is widely regarded as Kurosawa’s final epic masterpiece, and was the most expensive Japanese movie of all time on its release.

The Shakespearean tragedy is re-imagined as one of the most visually arresting war films ever put on screen, its balletic beauty climaxing with a silent battle scene, set to Toru Takemitsu’s funereal score, which has to be seen to be believed.

A heart-in-mouth heist thriller of the finest order, Victoria explores the nocturnal urges of Berlin, from lust and techno to crime and deceit. It follows the journey of the titular heroine, a newcomer to Germany, from a joyous dance through the city’s nightclubs to a far darker journey she could barely have imagined, as she becomes entangled in the fallout from an earlier bank raid.

Writer-director Sebastian Schipper tells his breathless story in real time, with a single bravura take and improvised dialogue - a remarkable feat of filmmaking.

With jaw-dropping cinematography of one of the most remote places on earth and direct access to the trials, drive and anxieties of its renowned mountain climbing subjects, Sundance Audience Award winner Meru is a hybrid of gorgeous photography and riveting storytelling.

Titled after Mount Meru, a 21,000 ft. Himalayan peak that looms over the Ganges River, the film focuses on three world-class mountaineers as they take on the challenge of trying to become the first humans to ascend its peak.

A Bigger Splash Showing from Fri 1 Apr Luca Guadagnino • Italy/France 2015 • 2h4m • Digital • English and Italian with English subtitles • 15 Cast: Tilda Swinton, Matthias Schoenaerts, Ralph Fiennes, Dakota Johnson.

An androgynous, Bowie-esque rock star (Swinton) and her filmmaker lover (Matthias Schoenaerts) find their idyllic rest holiday spoilt by the arrival of an old record producer acquaintance (Ralph Fiennes) and his petulant daughter (Dakota Johnson). Emotional and sexual tensions run high as desire and jealousy reach boiling point in this provocative and tension-filled psychological drama.

Jennifer Venditti • USA 2007 • 1h24m • Digital • 12A Documentary

Michael Madsen • Denmark/Austria/Ireland/Finland/Norway/ Sweden/Netherlands 2015 • 1h23m • Digital • PG - Contains mild threat • Documentary

A sensitive and humorous portrait of Billy, a 15-year-old outsider growing up in small-town Maine. Billy appears, in many ways, like other teenage boys. He’s into heavy metal and martial arts, is desperate to find a girlfriend, and aspires to a career as an actor and rock star. Yet in other ways Billy is unique.

We witness life from Billy’s perspective - from intimate conversations with his mother, to being bullied at school, to his fantasies of becoming a superhero. We also experience the exhilarating pangs of first love as Billy pursues Heather, a shy 16-year-old waitress. Will Billy get the girl? Will his community accept him on his own terms?

Billy the Kid challenges viewers to see beyond labels.

2 April is World Autism Awareness Day. One in a hundred people have autism - your colleagues, friends and classmates. Autism Edinburgh have planned a series of events to raise more awareness about autism, and what it can be like to live with autism. This charming documentary will give you an insight into one young man’s experience of adolescence, and his particular talents and ambitions. It will be followed by a discussion.

For information about our other events, go to edinburgh.gov.uk/autism £5

“This film documents an event that has never taken place man’s first encounter with intelligent life from space.”

Earth may not have been visited by aliens, but ever since the invention of radio and television, humans have been announcing their existence to other civilizations, so the question is not ‘what if’ it happens, but rather ‘when.’

With unprecedented access to the UN Office for Outer Space Affairs, the film builds a chillingly believable scenario of first contact on Earth, beginning with the simplest of questions: Why are you here? How do you think? What do you see in humans that we don’t see in ourselves?

This screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Michael Madsen and Royal Society scientist Martin Dominik. £10.50/£8.50

Bringing together two of Asia’s biggest stars, Andy Lau and Tony Leung, Infernal Affairs became a world-wide hit upon its release and remains one of Hong Kong’s most famous and influential crime films. At its core it is a classic, edge of the seat, cop and gangster cat and mouse story. Infernal Affairs was later remade by Martin Scorsese as the award winning The Departed.

A special preview showing of Son of Saul, screening from a 35mm print and accompanied by a short film by the same director, László Nemes.

Winner of Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars®and the Grand Prix at Cannes, László Nemes’ brilliant debut feature is propelled by the same harrowing intensity as its central character - a Sonderkommando at AuschwitzBirkenau who is forced to assist in the grisly day-to-day management of the exterminations.

When Saul recognises a boy who miraculously, but only fleetingly, survives the gas chamber, he decides to give him a proper burial. However, his search for a Rabbi to recite the mourner’s Kaddish places both his own life and the escape plan hatched by his fellow inmates in jeopardy.

Winner of the Palme d’Or at this year’s Cannes, this powerful drama from director Jacques Audiard (A Prophet, Rust & Bone) follows a former Tamil Tiger soldier as he flees from the aftermath of the Sri Lankan civil war to begin a new life in a Parisian suburb.

His life has been torn apart, and he seeks a way out, cobbling together a ‘family’ with two strangers in a refugee camp. Trading in one conflict for another, murder and violence follow them to the housing projects of Paris.

Securing their position in France means making their false family real, but past violence and present threats combine to exert a rising pressure that is bound to explode...

+ live music from Aidan Moffat Sat 9 Apr at 9.00pm

A cinematic love letter his home city, Mark Cousins’ unique film sees Belfast personified as a 10,000-year-old woman, who becomes the viewers’ walking tour guide. At first the tour seems light-hearted - the way people talk, unusual vantage points, fragments of the city’s visual landscape, the unnoticed and the unloved things about this place.

But then her story deepens.

I Am Belfast is a soulful and candid portrait of a remarkable place, and the filmmaker’s personal connection brings perspective, warmth and hints of memories past.

As we meet Scottish couple John and Karen, they are living in the wilderness of the French countryside. Their lifestyle is simple and devoid of modernity, foraging for food, water and resources, relying on no one else to survive.

But when a poisonous spider bites Karen, John breaks their self-imposed isolation to get help. As the couple’s backstory unfolds, an impending sense of doom casts a pall over their small world, and the seeming serenity of the forest is revealed to be as fragile and unstable as its inhabitants.

Paul Fegan • UK 2016 • 1h15m • Digital • 15 Cast: Aidan Moffat, Sheila Stewart.

Cult-pop raconteur Aidan Moffat sets out to explore Scotland’s past by rewriting and touring its oldest songs.

But he doesn’t count on running into 79-year-old force of nature Sheila Stewart - a travelling balladeer who upturns Moffat’s folk assumptions. He believes the old songs are ripe for updating. She does not.

With Stewart’s wrath ringing in his ears, Moffat embarks on a road trip that finds him dressed for battle in a Highland graveyard, caught between feuding monster-hunters at Loch Ness, and singing in a dismissive farmer’s kitchen before facing Stewart in his home-town of Glasgow for an unlikely final showdown, in this funny wee film about music and death.

The screening will be followed by a live musical performance from Aidan Moffat £10

Jaco Van Dormael • France/Belgium/Luxembourg 2015 • 1h52m Digital • French and German with English subtitles • 15 - Contains strong language, sex, sex references, nudity Cast: Pili Groyne, Catherine Deneuve, Benoït Poelvoorde.

From Alanis Morrissette to Morgan Freeman, on-screen portrayals of the Almighty have tended towards the grand, with a healthy interest in fairness and justice for all mankind. None to date have imagined God as he is here: an angry, frustrated family man living in a dingy apartment in Brussels.

God spends his time embroidering the world with petty miseries and mishaps - making sure the toast lands butterside down, for example - via a PC that looks like it still runs Windows 98. After his daughter’s attempted good deed backfires, God must scramble to rectify it before humanity gives up on him entirely.

Hirokazu Koreeda • Japan 2015 • 2h7m • Digital • Japanese with English subtitles • PG - Contains infrequent mild bad language Cast: Haruka Ayase, Masami Nagasawa, Kaho.

Adapted from Akimi Yoshida’s bestselling serialized manga Umimachi Diary, the new film from Japanese master Hirokazu Koreeda unfolds with the gentle rhythm of the waves that lap the shore of the seaside town of Kamakura, in which Our Little Sister is set.

The three Koda sisters have been on their own ever since their parents’ divorce, their mother having moved away shortly after her husband left her for another woman. Now in their twenties, the sisters live together in the house that once belonged to their grandmother. When they receive news of their father’s death, they are surprised to discover that they have a stepsister, thirteen-year-old Suzu, whose presence stirs long-dormant memories.

“Do you want to come cruising with me? Good.”

So begins Frank Riploh’s astonishing queer Berlin odyssey, largely unseen since its creation 31 years ago. Growing out of an autobiographical multimedia show created by voraciously experimental Riploh, it follows his self-named character as he juggles work as a teacher, socialising with colleagues and neighbours, his compulsive sexual adventures and a fledgling relationship with a more domestically inclined lover. Can a roast dinner compete with a moustachioed stable boy?

Largely shot in vivid, naturalistic style, with content ranging from banal to explicit, it’s dominated by Riploh’s compelling character: at once liberated and narcissistic, good-natured and wilful.

Warmly received at EIFF 2015, this relationship comedy shot in just five days in the Black Mountains of Wales marks the culmination of director Jamie Adams’ ‘Modern Romance Trilogy’, after 2014’s Benny & Jolene and A Wonderful Christmas Time.

Alice Lowe and Dolly Wells star as a pair of on-the-run sisters who assume a new identity as the Wilding Sisters, guest stars of the Poet’s Poetry Society retreat in the depths of the Black Mountains, with Downton Abbey’s Tom Cullen as the poet who comes between them.

The improvised dialogue is fresh and witty, while the unforgettable cinematography belies the speedy production schedule, rendering the sodden Welsh landscape with sweeping beauty.

From Pablo Larraín - director of acerbic gems No and Tony Manero - comes this dark and peculiar chamber drama set in a small Chilean seaside town.

In a secluded house by the shore live four unrelated men and one female housekeeper. Banished from their parishes for a range of misdemeanours, these former clergy pursue lives of monotonous routine - forgoing all spontaneity in the name of atonement.

When this fragile stability is abruptly shaken by the spectre of their shameful past, the Church dispatch Father Garcia (Marcelo Alonso) - an emissary whom the residents suspect may be sent to close The Club once and for all.

WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE

Growing Pains A Season of Films Programmed by Jessie Moroney Filmhouse’s monthly screening strand showing classic and contemporary films dealing with some of the more complex aspects of childhood.

Audiences are encouraged to share their responses on how these films affect them now as adults during post-screening chats.

All films will be introduced by Jessie Moroney, a member of the programming team who recently attended the Practical Programming course run by the Independent Cinema Office, which assists participants in developing a fresh programme for their home venues.

In April, we present Where The Wild Things Are, the story of a misunderstood young boy who escapes to an imaginary world filled with fierce creatures, who he promises to keep safe from sadness.

Where the Wild Things Are Wed 20 Apr at 6.10pm Spike Jonze • Germany/Australia/USA 2009 • 1h41m • Digital PG - Contains mild threat and brief violence Cast: Max Records, Pepita Emmerichs, Catherine Keener

Nine-year-old Max feels neglected by his mother and his big sister, and escapes from this harsh reality into a magical, imaginary land. Here, he reigns as king over a group of giant furry creatures. Max soon learns, however, that looking after others can be tricky, when his subjects start to mirror his own fears of being abandoned and left all alone.

Severin Fiala, Veronika Franz • Austria 2014 • 1h40m • Digital German with English subtitles • 15 - Contains strong violence, threat, scenes of torture Cast: Susanne Wuest, Elias Schwarz, Lukas Schwarz.

This double Oscar®-winning anti-war drama - revived in beautifully restored print - was made in 1930, just 12 years after the end of hostilities. A passionate and condemnatory US adaptation of the German writer Erich Maria Remarque’s best-seller about the disillusionment of a young German soldier would not have been possible a decade earlier or later, but may also have caught the uncertain mood of a United States on the cusp of the Great Depression.

One of the most bracingly original and genuinely creepy horror films in decades, this clever and insidious mother and son psycho-drama recalls the terrifying poise and impact of Michael Haneke’s Funny Games.

When a pair of twin boys’ mother returns from extensive surgery, her face - wrapped in bandages - is now completely hidden from them, except for two penetrating eyeholes. Gone is their affectionate loving mother, and in her place is a chilly controller who barks orders. As she recovers in their dark recesses of the stark ultramodern designer home, the twins start to question her authenticity, and the lines between mundane reality and paranoid fantasy begin to blur.

Jane Hammond (Natalie Portman) has built a new life with her husband Bill “Ham” Hammond (Noah Emmerich) after being tormented by the ultra-violent Bishop Boys outlaw gang. She finds herself in the gang’s cross-hairs once again when Ham stumbles home riddled with bullets.

With the vengeful crew, led by the ruthless Colin McCann (Ewan McGregor), hot on Ham’s trail, Jane has nowhere else to turn for aid but to her former fiancé Dan Frost (Joel Edgerton). Haunted by old memories, Jane’s past meets the present in a heart-stopping battle for survival.

Screening as part of The First World War in Cinema, a four-year series of films, programmed in association with the University of Edinburgh, that relate to the First World War, some timed to coincide with the real events of 100 years ago and others which are not tied to specific dates.

Lost Treasure is a beautifully atmospheric audio-visual performance responding to the unfinished film: assembled by filmmaker Minttu Mäntynen and accompanied live by renowned musicians Drew Wright (Wounded Knee) and Hamish Brown (Swimmer One).

Supported by PRS for Music Foundation and part of CineScore Live, a touring season of live music and film events supported by Film Hub Scotland. With thanks to National Library of Scotland Moving Image Archive.

Screening as part of the second edition of Folk Film Gathering - see page 22.

Showing from Fri 29 Apr

A clever, absurdist indictment of the idiosyncrasies, flaws and downright corruption of the contemporary Indian judiciary system - Chaitanya Tamhane’s debut feature won major awards at Mumbai and Venice.

When an elderly folk singer’s performance coincides with a sewage worker’s suicide, he finds himself on trial. From this focal point we glimpse the institutional incompetence, caste prejudice and irrational pedantry of judges and court officials. Blending comedy and tragedy, as well as professional and non-professional actors, Court is fascinating, appalling and empathetic.

Talking Pictures

An Insight Into EIFF

Anthony McKibbin

Martine Pierquin, Pasquale Iannone

Each week we will focus on a particular film and discuss it. The selection of films will be challenging works that demand ‘speculative probing’, are relatively little known, or well-known but where a new perspective can be found.

Join us as we discuss some of the most interesting films of the last fifty years.

Dates: Mondays from 11 April (10 weeks) Class times: 6.30pm - 9.20pm Fee: £110/£73 concession

Run in conjunction with the Edinburgh International Film Festival, this popular course offers seven Film Premieres and access to the festival’s Industry Events, with linked lectures and interactive tutorials. Course participants are EIFF Delegates and the course fee comprises the student Delegate Pass, EIFF catalogue and all tickets including Opening Film and Gala.

Dates: 15 - 24 June (day/evenings) Fee: £tbc

Film is Memory: Forgotten Narratives, Reminiscence and Personal Archives Lydia Beilby Why does memory resonate so powerfully through the medium of moving image and why is it so fascinating a device for filmmakers? Memory is the central theme of the course and we will examine how this resource is drawn upon by filmmakers, both as a tool to represent personal narrative and reflexive autobiographical elements.

Dates: Tuesdays from 21 April (5 weeks) Class times: 6.30pm - 9.20pm Fee: £55/£36 concession

Seven Samurai/Filmhouse Junior

SEVEN SAMURAI

RESTOREDCLASSIC

Seven Samurai Shichinin no samurai Tue 3 May at 1.00pm & 7.15pm Akira Kurosawa • Japan 1954 • 3h27m • 35mm • Japanese with English subtitles • PG Cast: Takashi Shimura, Toshiro Mifune, Yoshio Inaba, Seiji Miyaguchi, Minoru Chiaki.

Kurosawa’s often-cited masterpiece sees six masterless samurai - plus Mifune, a farmer’s boy who joins them - agree to protect a helpless village against a ferocious gang of bandits. Despite the caricatured acting forms of Noh and Kabuki which Kurosawa adopted in his period films, the performances are skilled and compelling, none more so than that of Takashi Shimura - one of the director’s favourite actors - playing the sage, ageing, and oddly charismatic samurai leader. The epic action scenes - frenetic storms of cavalry and samurai - are still gripping and impressively choreographed.

CAPTURE THE FLAG

Filmhouse junior Films for a younger audience, weekly on Sundays at 11am. Tickets cost £4.50 (£5.50 for 3D screenings) per person, big or small!

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 grown-ups should expect some noise!

Short and Sweet: Animations for Kids Sun 10 Apr at 11.00am 57m • U

A selection of clever, colourful and beautifully-animated short films that kids of all ages will love! Some have words and others have noises, some have dancing rhinos and others have stegosauruses - all of them, however, have something special that makes them fantastic fun for all the family.

Two of Kurosawa’s most enjoyable samurai films - both featuring the fantastic Toshirô Mifune as the wily ronin, Sanjuro.

Yojimbo is a tale, base loosely on 1942 noir The Glass Key (and the detective novels of Dashiell Hammett), that sees our wandering, masterless samurai (Mifune) happen upon a town that has been violently divided between feuding gangs. Clever, entertaining and hugely influential on the ‘Spaghetti Westerns’ that would proliferate in the decade that followed, such was the success of Mifune’s largerthan-life leading man that Kurosawa adapted his next film to feature him again.

Sanjuro has our scruffy rogue take on the corruption of local clan leaders with the help of a group of young samurai, and while more comedic than its predecessor the film loses none of the exquisite camerawork and perfectly staged action that made Yojimbo so exciting.

Yojimbo

We continue our celebration of Akira Kurosawa with two rather different films. They both, however, make a point of examining what it is to be alive and to live.

Rashômon is Kurosawa’s masterclass in narrative construction - one violent crime told from differing perspectives. We hear accounts from a bandit, the (deceased) samurai, his wife, a woodcutter and a priest with details changing and disappearing with each telling.

In a tangled web of motivations and half-truths - who can be relied upon to give the full story?

Literally translated as “to live”, Ikiru considers just that very idea through the story of a middle-aged widower (Takashi Shimura) in a mindlessly bureaucratic job who finds himself diagnosed with a terminal illness. With time now in short supply, he is faced with the decision of how to spend his remaining days and finds inspiration from a young colleague who is leaving her job to make toys for children. Moving, thoughtful and uplifting, Ikiru is a humanist triumph.

Bad Timing

Sun 10 Apr at 5.30pm

Wed 13 Apr at 8.35pm

Steven Spielberg • USA 2015 • 2h21m • Digital • 12A - Contains infrequent strong language, moderate threat, violence Cast: Tom Hanks, Mark Rylance, Amy Ryan, Alan Alda.

In this season of films, we explore the mental condition of spies and voyeurs as they begin to find it increasingly difficult to tell the difference between reality and imagination.

The paranoid individual shows a “pervasive distrust and suspiciousness of others” (DSM-5) but in an atmosphere whether neither their own perceptions nor society as a whole can be trusted, we enter the condition of the all-pervasive Paranoid State. The political and the psychological converge as paranoia blurs the distinction between the self and the system.

Steven Spielberg’s consummately crafted period thriller follows idealistic American lawyer James Donovan (Tom Hanks), whose beliefs are initially put to the test when he is assigned the defence of a hated Soviet agent. Matters then become increasingly complex with the capture of an American spy, leading Donovan to serve as go-between in a potential exchange between East and West.

Nicolas Roeg • UK 1980 • 2h1m • 35mm • English, German, Czech and French with English subtitles • 18 Cast: Art Garfunkel, Theresa Russell, Harvey Keitel, Denholm Elliott, Daniel Massey.

We begin with Steven Spielberg’s Oscar® nominated Bridge of Spies, co-scripted by Joel and Ethan Coen, before moving on to two classics of psychological melt-down as Gene Hackman and Art Garfunkel slowly lose the plot in The Conversation and Bad Timing. We end in South Korea with action-packed sleeper-spy romance Shiri. Trust no one, least of all yourself.

Harry Caul (Gene Hackman) is the self-proclaimed “best bugger on the West Coast”, an electronic surveillance man proud of his expertise, independence and reputation, and intensely secretive about his method. Hailed at the time of release for having anticipated Watergate, Coppola’s undeniably brilliant exploration of voyeurism, responsibility, loneliness and paranoia remains one of his most completely satisfying films, at once marvellously suspenseful and astute in its psychological and ethical insights.

The Conversation Tue 12 Apr at 8.35pm Francis Ford Coppola • USA 1974 • 1h53m • 35mm • 15 Cast: Gene Hackman, John Cazale, Cindy Williams, Allen Garfield, Frederic Forrest, Teri Garr, Robert Duvall.

Vienna is used to similar effect as Venice was in Don’t Look Now in the masterful and much maligned Bad Timing, one of Nicolas Roeg’s most elusive and complex pictures.

Examining in flashback the consuming relationship between two Americans in the city of Klimt, Roeg has described Bad Timing as an apt summation of his career, believing himself to have often been ahead of time, instead of simply being of it.

Shiri Swiri Thu 14 Apr at 8.15pm Kang Je-Gyu • South Korea 1999 • 2h2m • 35mm • Korean with English subtitles • 18 - Contains strong bloody violence Cast: Suk-kyu Han, Min-sik Choi, Yunjin Kim.

Shiri is a stylish and confident spy thriller that set the benchmark for those that followed.

When an elite sniper - a sleeper agent - from North Korea (Yunjin Kim) threatens to jeopardise the security of the nation, South Korean agents are dispatched to track her down. Yu (Han Suk-kyu) and Lee (Song Kang-ho) race against time to stop the Northern threat and learn that no-one in their lives can be truly trusted...

Allen Moore, Jack Shea • UK 1981 • 56m • Digital • U Documentary

Clio Barnard • UK 2013 • 1h31m • Digital • 15 - Contains strong language, once very strong Cast: Conner Chapman, Shaun Thomas, Sean Gilder.

A rare opportunity to see this newly restored poetic documentary about the lives of a community of shepherds in the outer Hebrides. With a painterly sense of light, and an ear for Hebridean song and story traditions, the film paints a sincere portrait of a community on the verge of change.

Introduced by a traditional Scottish storyteller and followed by a Q&A hosted by social geographer Fraser MacDonald, with Allen Moore, Shea’s widow, Yvonne Bayinsky and the celebrated singer Vashti Bunyan who herself travelled to Berneray in the early ‘70s.

This contemporary masterpiece of British cinema is one of two films at this year’s Gathering exploring close community ties to horses and harness racing. Developed from documentary work exploring Bradford’s scrap metal trade, Barnard’s film portrays the mixed fortunes of Arbor and Swifty, two energetic young boys who become involved in the scrap business. Where Swifty is quiet, gentle and loves horses, Arbor is charismatic, hyperactive and has a keen eye for profit. Will the boys survive their encounter with menacing local scrap dealer Kitten unscathed?

Introduced by a traditional Scottish storyteller.

Ian Sellar • UK 1989 • 1h34m • 35mm • 12A Cast: George Antopn, Louise Breslin, Juliet Cadzow.

An act of wartime cowardice comes to haunt three generations of Basque country farmers. Vacas chronicles the bitter feud emerging between two neighbouring families after Carmelo is killed because of his neighbour Manuel’s cowardice. Will Ignacio (Manuel’s son) and Catalina (Carmelo’s daughter) escape the fates assigned to them by their families, or will they be crushed under the weight of history? Deeply immersed in Basque traditions - notably featuring a stunning, traditional ‘aizcolari’ woodcutting sequence - Medem’s masterpiece marries the mythical with the historical in a thrilling and profound treatment of Basque history.

Introduced by a traditional Scottish storyteller.

The Lion Hunters

La chasse au lion à l’arc

Thu 5 May at 6.10pm Jean Rouch • France 1965 • 1h28m • Digital • French with English subtitles • PG • Documentary

A rare opportunity to see one of the most remarkable documentaries in film history, currently unavailable to watch for UK audiences. Using collaborative working methods and in conversation with Songhoy communities, celebrated documentary maker Jean Rouch documents the journey of traditional gow lion hunters in Niger to confront ‘the American’: a ferocious lion that has been killing their livestock. Opening with the words of a traditional griot, Rouch fuses aspects of oral culture with magical realist documentary, evoking a dizzying sense of participatory experience.

Introduced by a traditional Scottish storyteller.

Described by Pauline Kael as one of the world’s few truly animist films, Padre Padrone is a classic of Italian cinema and features some of the most vivid imagery ever committed to screen. A magical realist account of the life of a young Sardinian shepherd, the film tells the story of Gavino, an intense young man in the shadow of his overbearing father who is taken out of school to look after his family’s flock of goats in the Sardinian mountains.

Introduced by a traditional Scottish storyteller.

Song of the Sea Sat 7 May at 12.45pm Tomm Moore • Ireland/Denmark/Belgium/Luxembourg/France 2014 • 1h34m • Digital • PG - Contains mild threat With the voices of Lucy O’Connell, Brendan Gleeson, David Rawle, Lisa Hannigan, Fionnula Flanagan.

A gorgeous, animated treatment of Irish selkie myths for all the family. 10-year-old Ben can’t help but resent his wee sister Saoirse when their mother disappears mysteriously after she is born. But when Ben discovers Saoirse is actually a selkie, and that her life is in danger from Macha the Owl Witch, he finds himself in a race against time: can he set aside his broken heart to bring their family together once again? Weaving together Irish folk myth with the poignant realities of everyday life, Song of the Sea is a rhapsodic, magical-realist celebration of folk tale, imagery, and the importance of passing on tradition.

Introduced by a traditional Scottish storyteller.

A rare opportunity to see Ian Sellar and Christopher Young’s lost classic of Scottish cinema on the big screen.

Growing up in ‘40s Stromness amongst a family of fishermen, Peter’s life is deeply influenced by dreams, his grandparents’ folk tales and his own powerful imagination.

Who is the mysterious woman Peter sees down by the shore, and will he ever know the truth about how his father disappeared?

Introduced by a traditional Scottish storyteller and followed by a Q&A with celebrated Scottish film producer of Bannan and Seachd, Christopher Young.

Tempus de Baristas Tue 10 May at 5.50pm David MacDougall • Italy/Australia/UK 1993 • 1h40m • Digital • Sardinian with English subtitles •

One of two films at this year’s Gathering exploring the lives of Sardinian shepherds, David MacDougall’s poetic ethnography portrays the different experiences of Franchiscu (62), his son Pietro (17) and their friend Miminu (43) who - although being born 20 years apart - are united by ties of family, friendship and common experience.

Will Pietro, still a schoolboy, continue the way of life that has been in his family for generations? And will Miminu and Franchiscu manage to hold onto their heritage as times change in Sardinia?

A striking work of Ethiopian cinema fusing traditional oral culture with cinematic poetry and a classic of the socialist, anti-imperialist Third Cinema movement. Reminiscent of John McGrath’s celebrated The Cheviot, The Stag and the Black, Black Oil, and highly pertinent to Scotland’s long history of land reform, Gerima’s film tells the story of a family of peasants rising up against their oppressive landlord, situated against the dayto-day rhythms of work and communal storytelling.

SCOTTISH PREMIERE Thu 12 May at 6.00pm Chloé Zhao • USA 2015 • 1h28m • Digital • 15 Cast: John Reddy, Jashaun St. John.

A gentle, profound portrait of a community under pressure, Chloé Zhao’s debut feature is a considered collaboration with native American residents living on the South Dakota Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Highschooler Johnny and his 11 year old sister Jashaun face difficult questions after the death of their errant father. Looking to the future, what sort of life can Johnny and Jashuan expect on the Res? Is it better to cut and run, or stand and fight? Shot entirely on location, and featuring a remarkable cast of non-actors, Zhao’s debut is a moving testament to community dignity and the ties that bind.

K-SHOP

Green Room Thu 21 Apr at 8.30pm Jeremy Saulnier • USA 2015 • 1h34m • Digital • 18 Cast: Alia Shawkat, Imogen Poots, Patrick Stewart, Anton Yelchin, Mark Webber.

A broke punk band are offered $350 to play a backwater skinhead bar. That’s enough money to get them home without syphoning any more gas. They’ve played plenty of rough crowds before, so what could possibly go wrong?

Green Room starts out as a pretty typical band on the road movie, but quickly transforms into something very, very different when the band witnesses something they’re not supposed to see.

Horror fans will find much to enjoy. It is smart, assured and clever, proving that Saulnier is one of the most exciting genre directors around.

K-Shop Thu 21 Apr at 10.45pm Dan Pringle • UK 2015 • 1h55m • Digital • 18 Cast: Ziad Abaza, Reece Noi, Ewen MacIntosh.

A kebab shop owner’s son, Salah, gradually turns his back on his studies while helping his father out at work. What he doesn’t expect to have to deal with is the relentless onslaught of boozed up thrillseekers waging war on his doorstep.

From a review by By Nia Edwards-Behi for BrutalAsHell

Ignorance is Bliss kicks off with our 2D & Deranged animation shorts - there’s a warning against night-time adventuring in Francis; a baby-sitting gig goes awry in Other Lily; it’s revenge of the hand-driers in Alt-Tab; selfexpression is paramount in Mute and a family favourite gets a gruesome make-over in Frozen Blood Test.

Then we segue seamlessly into What You Make It which is always for oddities to delight those with an abundance of morbid curiosity! A Victorian photographer is under pressure in La Seace; a salesman has a difficult time with a very demanding client in Death in Bloom; Hairy Soul Man wants to know How Deep Can I Go?; the sweetest retired couple explain their location choice in The House is Innocent and we close with The Nest, a deeply disturbing and upsetting new short from the masterly David Cronenberg.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Gareth Bryn and producer Ed Talfan.

Fri 22 Apr at 10.15pm Wes Craven • USA 1994 • 1h52m • 35mm • 18 Cast: Heather Langenkamp, Robert Englund, Wes Craven.

Wes Craven’s New Nightmare dances back and forth across the line separating fantasy from reality. This is the first horror movie that is actually about the question, “Don’t you people ever think about the effect your movies have on the people who watch them?”

The Hills Have Eyes Wes Craven • USA 1977 • 1h29m • 35mm • 18 Cast: John Steadman , Janus Blythe, Peter Locke, Russ Grieve.

The Hills Have Eyes is a seminal slice of down-and-dirty ‘70s horror. The story of the Carter family’s fight for survival against a clan of mutant cannibals is as unflinching as horror films get; no one is safe and the brutality is unleashed on both sides. £12/£10

Joseph Wartnerchaney • USA 2015 • 1h38m • Digital • 18 Cast: Rob Zabrecky, Lisa Howard, Elisha Yaffe.

Astraea

Jonathan is a quiet and intensely lonely man who is the product of a disturbed childhood at the mercy of an unstable mother. Despite his compulsive behaviour, his crippling need for routine and his fear of strangers, it’s clear that a part of him desires companionship and a less stressful life but has no idea how to go about it. He just has to keep taking the meds, do the best he can and hope it’s good enough.

It almost is, until, one fateful day, he takes highly questionable but opportunistic advantage of the arrival of a stranger in his home...

Kristjan Thor • USA 2015 • 1h37m • Digital • 18 Cast: Scotty Crowe, Jessica Cummings, Nerea Duhart.

Sat 23 Apr at 12.00pm

Post-apocalyptic films usually offer bleakness with no hope for the future but Astraea suggests compassion in a world gone mad in a character-driven story depicting the human struggle to remain hopeful during the darkest of times In 97 minutes, it provides a more honest and emotionally taxing look at the psyche of those struggling to survive the apocalypse than The Walking Dead has in five seasons.

It’s simply a good film with emotional stakes and personal dynamics providing the tension, while the world appears to be ending in the background.

Whether in the great outdoors or the urban sprawl, feral creatures prey on the unsuspecting! A young girl is lured into the woods beyond her garden in Foxglove; a migrant worker crosses the wrong border in Boniato; a social occasion becomes aggressively territorial in The Bridge Partner; some happy hikers don’t pay enough attention to survival tips in L’ours Nour and a man takes steps to deal with a late night disturbance in Bad Throttle.

Der Bunker Sat 23 Apr at 4.15pm Nikias Chryssos • Germany 2015 • 1h25m • Digital • German with English subtitles • 18 Cast: Pit Bukowski, Daniel Fripan, Oona von Maydell, David Scheller.

A student needs a quiet place to live while he writes a scientific paper, and he tramps out into the deep, snowy woods to a small, isolated house where he is renting a cheap room. He meets Mother, Father and Klaus but has no idea what Heinrich has in store for him...

This is a pitch black comedy, loaded with mean-spirited, bizarre and absurd humour. But without giving too much away, Der Bunker is about so much more than a twisted, unbelievably dysfunctional family.

From a review by Peter Martin for Twitch

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the director Nikias Chryssos.

Lou (Natasha Lyonne) and Sadie (Chloë Sevigny) spend most of their nights partying in the numerous abandoned warehouses in their backwards Michigan town. Neither woman is particularly responsible, so when Lou discovers that she’s pregnant, she reacts to the news with a toxic mixture of scepticism, alcohol and pot.

Antibirth is a visually arresting and bizarre story which is definitely not for the faint of heart, but it’s a great example of a film that plays by the rules while simultaneously breaking them.

Able to indulge his agoraphobia thanks to a stay-at-home job editing infomercials, Miles Grissom is afraid of just about everything, but especially the one thing that pretty much everyone fears. Plagued by nightmares, he decides to take a drastic step by offering a substantial reward to anyone who can provide reassuring proof of life after death. Naturally he’s flooded with responses, out of which a handful look surprisingly promising...

Héctor Hernández Vicens • Spain 2015 • 1h16m • Digital • Spanish with English subtitles • 18 Cast: Albert Carbó, Alba Ribas, Cristian Valencia, Bernat Saumell.

Cast: Ted Sorel, Jeffrey Combs, Barbara Crampton.

Anna Fritz, an adored actress, had been found dead in the bathroom at a party and her whereabouts are being kept a secret while the media whips itself into a now too-familiar drooling frenzy. Despite his initial reservations, Pau the morgue orderly lets two of his friends in to look at the famous corpse.

The film itself is abhorrently disturbing and doesn’t shy away from divisive boundaries. There’s an icky, sinful nature to Creus’ story, yet the worst moments are never grotesquely exploited in a deviant manner.

From a review by Matt Donato for WeGotThisCovered

Stuart Gordon • USA 1986 • 1h26m • 18

In the basement of scientist Pretorius’ (Ted Sorel) secluded mansion, he and his assistant Crawford (Jeffrey Combs) are furtively testing out their latest creation: a machine called the ‘resonator’, which aims to stimulate the pineal gland in an effort to open one’s senses to the wonders of a parallel universe.

Dead and Buried Gary A Sherman • USA 1981 • 1h34m • 18 Cast: James Farentino, Melody Anderson, Jack Albertson, Nancy Locke.

In the small coastal town of Potter’s Bluff, tourists are being being brutally murdered, in mysterious circumstances.

This documentary delves deep into the mechanics of monster-making through extensive interviews and unseen footage. It is a true celebration of the creativity, art, ingenuity and occasional madness that goes in to giving form to our worst nightmares. Looking back to the earliest stop-motion work and forwards to new technologies, it’s a fascinating trawl through the minds and workshops of some of the biggest names in horror and fantasy.

Shorts: Apocalypse Soon Sun 24 Apr at 2.45pm 45m • 18

These films show grim visions of the near-future. The world has ended and one lone survivor ekes out a meagre existence until one day he comes back to his rooms to something very unexpected in Graffiti; a truly hellish vision of one possible future for capital punishment is considered in The Disappearance of Willie Bingham and a family hides out in a bunker but the youngest child wants to see the threat for herself in Monsters. Films to make you fight for what you have now, because the alternatives are so, so much worse!

Angela runs an abortion counselling service out of the home she shares with the deputy sheriff. The preacher, his flock and family all picket the clinic daily. The violence is small and nasty, at least to begin with...

Like Kent’s early pictures, there is a blunt, earnest and angry asking of the big questions that we try not to think about unless tragedy thrust such things into our laps.

This is not an easy film to watch, its power will either horrify you or elicit uncomfortable laughter at how inyour-face it play its drama.

Sorgenfri

An extremely well-made horror film, Sorgenfri (aka What We Become) examines the churning emotional dynamics of a nuclear family when they are placed under extreme perhaps even apocalyptic - stress.

It’s surprisingly compelling, not just because of what happens, but because of how it happens. It’s the kind of elegant noir-ish horror that is rapidly becoming extinct.

This jaw-dropping selection runs the gamut of neglectful parenting from all perspectives! Some lonely kids get weirdly inventive when ignored in Black Eyes; an old man gets a surprise visit in De Kleinzoon; the scars of childhood are faced head-on by estranged siblings in Viking; there’s no escaping a lifetime of disappointment for one woman in Honor Student; the priest arrives just in time for a difficult birth in Blight and a couple head out for the night leaving their child with a near-stranger in The Babysitter Murders. What could possibly go wrong?

Half-brothers Elias and Gabriel learn of their father’s passing and watch the video he left behind for them (filmed on an unreliable tripod), where a family secret is revealed. With this new shocking information, the duo (consisting of a compulsively nauseous nervous wreck and a short-tempered frequent masturbator) head out to their father’s estate for some answers.

Obscene, violent, coarse, violent then begrudgingly sweet.

New army recruit Private Gary Hook (Jack O’Connell) is deployed to Belfast during the Troubles in 1971. Shortly after arriving his unit are supporting a routine house search operation which escalates into a terrifying street riot, and during the chaos Hook is accidentally left behind.

Unable to tell friend from foe, the raw recruit must survive the night alone and find his way to safety through a disorientating, alien and deadly landscape.

With Liam Neeson in the title role, Aidan Quinn as Harry Boland and Alan Rickman as Éamon de Valera, Neil Jordan’s Michael Collins presents the key figures of the Irish War of Independence in a prestige historical biopic - the winner of the Golden Lion award at Venice Film Festival 1996.

Tracking historical events from the Easter Rising through to the formation of the Irish Free State, it focuses on the shifting and fractious relationships between these passionate and determined men in their struggle for independence from British rule and their differing attitudes towards compromise and negotiation in the name of progress.

Young Programmers will also be presenting new films at Edinburgh International Film Festival in June. For more information contact education@cmi-scotland.co.uk £10/£6 Michael Collins screening supported by the Irish Film Institute (IFI)

Humiliated and now bereft of his marriage to Dominique (Julie Delpy), his business and his legal residency in France, Karol (Zbigniew Zamachowski) lives on the streets performing songs for spare change.

Kieslowski’s second instalment is dark, wry and bittersweet - described by Roger Ebert as “the anti-comedy, in between the anti-tragedy and the anti-romance”.
