FINAL PORTRAIT A FILM BY

STANLEY TUCCI SI D E 40 FI LM S IN PL U S O V ER

Fly, Chuckie, fly...

For the last few weeks there has been a seagull chick living in the undergrowth behind the car park out the back of our offices. Someone in the office named him/her Chuckie, after Chuckie Pend (aka Morrison Street Lane), which runs between us and the car park. (I have assumed they didn’t name him/her after Chucky the malevolent doll of the Child’s Play franchise, though I have never seen the name written down... Being involved in cinema as we are, for a seagull I would have plumped for George or Steven or Don, or even Barbara… Now, why might we call it Barbara?)

We’ve all watched it grow from a tiny hatchling to something that looks now quite close to flight.

There’s much amusement been derived from Chuckie’s parents’ mightily impressive parenting through the vulnerability of his/her first weeks, by routinely dive-bombing anyone who dares to pass by or park their car. Some of the ‘victims’ have clearly not understood what on earth was going on! As I’m off next week, I’d like to take this opportunity to wish Chuckie a fond farewell, and a long and fruitful life of eating fish, chasing trawlers, scaffing in restaurant bins etc…

And now to our programme in August, the month in which the biggest arts festival on the planet can have a tendency to distract the very audience we work so hard to attract… but, what with Dunkirk on 70mm running most of the month; a revival of Trainspotting and T2 Trainspotting; EIFF favourites Tom of Finland, England is Mine, Stanley Tucci’s Final Portrait and Sally Hawkins in Maudie; An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power; and Mexican outrage/oddity The Untamed to name but a few, I feel it might not quite be so marked this year!

Go on… prove me right!

70mm print

Dunkirk Fri 21 Jul to Thu 24 Aug Christopher Nolan • Netherlands/UK/France/USA 2017 • 1h50m • 70mm/Digital • 12A - Contains sustained threat, intense sequences, moderate violence, strong language. • Cast: Tom Hardy, Mark Rylance, Cillian Murphy, Jack Lowden, Kenneth Branagh, Barry Keoghan.

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 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.

See p 14-16 for full listings of 70mm and digital screenings. There is a £2 additional charge for 70mm.

The 6.05pm screening on Tue 15 Aug will be a ‘relaxed’ performance - with lowered sound, low-level lighting and audience members free to move around and come and go as required.

The Beguiled

Land of Mine

Fri 28 Jul to Thu 10 Aug

Fri 4 to Thu 10 Aug

Sofia Coppola • USA 2017 • 1h34m • Digital • 15 - Contains brief strong sex. • Cast: Nicole Kidman, Elle Fanning , Kirsten Dunst, Colin Farrell, Angourie Rice, Oona Laurence.

Martin Zandvliet • Denmark/Germany 2015 • 1h41m • Digital German, Danish and English with English subtitles • 15 - Contains strong violence, injury detail. • Cast: Roland Møller, Louis Hofmann, Joel Basman, Mikkel Boe Følsgaard, Laura Bro.

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...

At the end of World War II, German POWs were made to clear vast minefields on the Danish coastline mines laid down to prevent the Allies from reclaiming Denmark. Tough Danish Sergeant Rasmussen (Roland Møller) is put in charge of a group of young German soldiers who must clear each one, by hand.

With truly gripping sequences, Martin Zandvliet’s Oscar® nominated drama charts the complicated relationship between these naïve boys, the unforgiving locals and their Sergeant - who promises that, when the beach is clear, they can go home.

Fri 4 to Thu 17 Aug

Fri 18 to Thu 31 Aug

Aisling Walsh • Ireland/Canada 2016 • 1h56m • Digital • 12A - Contains infrequent moderate violence, sex. • Cast: Sally Hawkins, Ethan Hawke, Kari Matchett, Zachary Bennett, Gabrielle Rose.

Stanley Tucci • UK 2017 • 1h30m • Digital • English, French and Italian with English subtitles • 15 - Contains strong language, sex references.

Cast: Geoffrey Rush, Armie Hammer, Clémence Poésy, Tony Shalhoub, James Faulkner.

Sally Hawkins is at her best is this engaging and gently moving period drama, depicting the real-life story of Maud Lewis (Hawkins), a talented painter who refused to be hindered by her severe arthritis and went on to become one of Canada’s best-known folk artists. Her co-star Ethan Hawke is also impressive in the initially unsympathetic role of the man who, to everyone’s surprise in their remote Nova Scotia community, hires Maud as his housekeeper, with the pair starting the most unlikely of romances...

NEW RELEASE

The Odyssey Fri 18 to Thu 24 Aug Jérôme Salle • France 2017 • 1h58m • Digital • French and English with English subtitles • PG - Contains mild bad language, threat, brief mild violence. • Cast: Lambert Wilson, Pierre Niney, Audrey Tautou, Laurent Lucas, Benjamin Lavernhe.

Featuring mesmerising underwater sequences, The Odyssey is a story of the voyages - both nautical and emotional - taken by an entire family. In 1948, Jacques Cousteau (Lambert Wilson) uproots his life of comfort to explore the high seas as an oceanographer. What follows is thirty years of invention, exploration and achievement, with their iconic films illuminating the ocean depths to television viewers around the world.

Jérôme Salle’s impressive film - featuring Audrey Tautou, Pierre Niney and Benjamin Lavernhe - is no mere hagiography though, and doesn’t shy away from the darker moments in Cousteau’s life.

Based on the memoir of American art critic James Lord (Armie Hammer), Final Portrait brings to screen an encounter between Lord and artist Alberto Giacometti (Geoffrey Rush), who in 1964 invited the young critic to sit for a portrait. The sitting, as it turns out, would last much longer than the few hours Giacometti said it would... With great performances from its leads and a strong supporting cast, this is an enthralling labour-of-love from director Stanley Tucci.

An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power Fri 25 to Thu 31 Aug Bonni Cohen, Jon Shenk • USA 2017 • 1h38m • Digital • PG - Contains brief images of aftermath of conflict and ecological disasters.

Documentary.

A decade after An Inconvenient Truth comes the riveting and rousing follow-up that shows just how close we are to a real energy revolution. Former Vice President Al Gore continues his fight, traveling around the world training an army of climate champions and influencing international climate policy. Cameras follow him behind the scenes as he pursues the inspirational idea that while the stakes have never been higher, the perils of climate change can be overcome with human ingenuity and passion.

Hotel Salvation Fri 25 to Thu 31 Aug Shubhashish Bhutiani • India 2016 • 1h42m • Digital • Hindi with English subtitles • PG - Contains infrequent drug references.

Cast: Adil Hussain, Lalit Behl, Geetanjali Kulkarni, Navnindra Behl.

When 77-year-old Daya (Lalit Behl) decides he must travel to the holy city of Varanasi to seek salvation before it’s too late, his son Rajiv (Adil Hussain) must drop everything and help him on his journey.

Checking into ‘Hotel Salvation’, Rajiv sees his father find community and joy, while he himself continues to agonise over the responsibilities he’s left at home.

Tender, funny and well-told, it distinguishes the debuting director Shubhashish Bhutiani as a notable new talent.

Following a Best Director win at Cannes 2013, Amat Escalante has made something truly outrageous and fascinating in this surreal, sexually-charged body-horror mystery. Alejandra (Ruth Ramos) is a young mother, raising her children with the errant, chauvinistic Angel (Jesús Meza). This small-town story becomes yet more bizarre with the arrival of the mysterious Veronica (Simone Bucio), who comes to Alejandra’s brother’s clinic to be treated for a bite.

Winning him over with ease, she leads him out into the country, where something truly alien awaits...

NEW RELEASE

Tom of Finland Fri 25 to Thu 31 Aug Dome Karukoski • Finland/Sweden/Denmark/Germany 2017 • 1h54m • Digital • Finnish, German and English with English subtitles 18 - Contains strong sexualised images, sex references, nudity. • Cast: Pekka Strang, Werner Daehn, Jakob Oftebro, Lauri Tilkanen.

Tom of Finland, with its butch male figures in sexualised situations, is a defining portrait of 1970s-80s gay imagery. For its creator, Touko Laaksonen (Pekka Strang), the images began as sketches sold in secret to underground fanzines, before being discovered in America - consequently catapulting him to stardom.

This delightful, fascinating biopic follows Laaksonen’s path from decorated WWII soldier struggling to hide his sexuality, to undisputed gay icon in the leather bars of New York - via love, loss and the pressures of prejudice and criminalised homosexuality. Dome Karukoski’s film is an eye-opening depiction of one man, his art, and their place in modern history, and recently had its UK Premiere at the 71st Edinburgh International Film Festival.

Fri 11 to Thu 24 Aug

Fri 11 to Thu 24 Aug

Danny Boyle • UK 1996 • 1h33m • 35mm • 18 - Contains very strong language, strong sex and violence and hard drug use. • Cast: Ewan McGregor, Ewen Bremner, Robert Carlyle, Jonny Lee Miller.

Danny Boyle • UK 2017 • 1h57m • Digital • 18 - Contains very strong language, strong sex, drug misuse. • Cast: Ewan McGregor, Robert Carlyle, Kelly Macdonald, Jonny Lee Miller, Ewen Bremner.

A shocking, painfully subjective trawl through the Edinburgh heroin culture of the 1980s, Irvine Welsh’s cult novel was hardly an obvious choice for the team who made Shallow Grave, yet the film’s an absolute triumph. Audaciously punching up the pitch-black comedy, juggling parallel character strands and juxtaposing image, music and voice-over with a virtuosity worthy of Scorsese on peak form, Trainspotting the movie captures precisely Welsh’s insolent, amoral intelligence.

Book for both Trainspotting and T2 - get 30% off!

First there was an opportunity... then a betrayal.

Twenty years have gone by since that day. Much has changed but just as much remains the same. Mark Renton (Ewan McGregor) returns to the only place he can ever call home - Edinburgh. Spud (Ewen Bremner), Sick Boy (Jonny Lee Miller), and Begbie (Robert Carlyle) await him, as do sorrow, loss, joy, vengeance, hatred, friendship, love, longing, fear, regret, diamorphine, self-destruction and mortal danger - what did Renton really choose?

The Big Sick

England Is Mine

Fri 11 to Thu 17 Aug

Fri 25 to Tue 29 Aug

Michael Showalter • USA 2017 • 1h59m • Digital • English and Urdu with English subtitles • 15 - Contains strong language, moderate sex references. • Cast: Kumail Nanjiani, Zoe Kazan, Holly Hunter.

Mark Gill • UK 2017 • 1h34m • Digital • 15 - Contains very strong language. • Cast: Jack Lowden, Jessica Brown Findlay, Laurie Kynaston, Jodie Comer, Katherine Pearce, Simone Kirby.

The course of true love never did run smooth. Based on the real-life courtship of Kumail Nanjiani (who stars) and Emily Gordon (who co-writes), The Big Sick is the story of a Pakistan-born comedian who meets American postgrad student Emily (Zoe Kazan) at a gig, leading to a blossoming romance. This seemingly straightforward and promising situation is complicated immediately by Kumail’s traditional Muslim parents and Emily falling victim to a mystery illness. Part messy romance, part comedy, part medical drama, The Big Sick is tender and funny.

An amusing and evocative portrait of Steven Patrick Morrissey, focused on his teenage years in 1970s Manchester - brimming with youthful arrogance, but searching to find his place in the world - before he went on to form The Smiths. While there is fun to be had in witnessing the terrific Jack Lowden come to physically resemble the unmistakably bequiffed singer, and watching the young Johnny Marr (Laurie Kynaston) arrive in his orbit, the real revelation is the tenderness of his relationships with friend Linder Sterling (Jessica Brown Findlay) and mother Elizabeth (Simone Kirby).

Catherine Corsini • France/Belgium 2015 • 1h45m • Digital • French with English subtitles • 15 - Contains sexualised nudity. • Cast: Cécile De France, Izïa Higelin, Noémie Lvovsky, Jean-Henri Compère.

Stephen Frears • UK 1987 • 1h45m • Digital • 15 - Contains strong language and sex references. • Cast: Gary Oldman, Alfred Molina, Vanessa Redgrave, Wallace Shawn, Julie Walters.

Delphine (Izïa Higelin) moves to Paris from southern France in the early 1970s, leaving behind her parents, the family farm and a short-lived relationship with a local girl. She soon meets Carole (Cécile De France), an energetic language teacher and feminist leader, and a delicate, intimate relationship begins to flourish between them. Following a family illness, the pair find themselves back on Delphine’s parents’ farm, and face the decision of how best to reveal their love to her family. We’re screening the great biopic of a queer icon Tom of Finland this month - see page 7.

Stephen Frears followed My Beautiful Laundrette with this often-overlooked gem. With an extraordinary screenplay by Alan Bennett, the film is based on theatre critic John Lahr’s biography of the playwright Joe Orton (Gary Oldman), and it frames the story with scenes in which Lahr researches his life with Orton’s literary agent (Vanessa Redgrave). Meeting at RADA, in an era when homosexuality was illegal, Orton falls in with older, faux-sophisticate Kenneth Halliwell (Alfred Molina), whose jealousy over Joe’s writing successes begins to poison their relationship...

Incident at Loch Ness

Cave of Forgotten Dreams (3D)

Sun 13 Aug at 6.00pm

Sun 10 Sep at 6.00pm

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

Werner Herzog • Canada/USA/France/Germany/UK 2010 • 1h35m Digital • English and German with English subtitles • U - Contains no material likely to offend or harm • Documentary.

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.

Herzog explores the earliest known visions of mankind: the Chauvet-Pont-d’Arc cave art of southern France. Since their discovery access has been extremely restricted, and so Herzog and co are faced with a challenging, brief low-light shoot.

Accompanied by Herzog’s distinctive voiceover though, their bobbing torch-beams perfectly illuminate these incredible images - the horses, lions and rhinoceroses almost surge off the cave wall.

There is an additional £2 charge for 3D.

Atomic: Living in Dread and Promise Sun 6 Aug at 6.30pm & Wed 9 Aug at 6.15pm Mark Cousins • UK 2015 • 1h11m • Digital • English, Japanese and Russian with English subtitles • 12A - Contains images of real injuries and dead bodies. • Documentary.

Curie, Einstein, Hiroshima, the Cold War, the Cuban Missile Crisis, protest, medical research, Chernobyl, MRI scans, Fukushima. Using archive footage - news reports, cosmic imagery, x-ray photography, astronaut training films, etc. - Mark Cousins’ acclaimed film captures the dreams and nightmares of the atomic age, with a haunting and thundering score by Mogwai. Special screenings to commemorate the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945.

SPECIAL EVENT

The Night of the Hunter Sun 6 Aug at 9.00pm Charles Laughton • USA 1955 • 1h32m • Digital • 12A • Cast: Robert Mitchum, Shelley Winters, Lillian Gish, Billy Chapin, James Gleason.

The Night of the Hunter - the only film Charles Laughton ever directed - is truly a stand-alone masterwork. A horror movie with qualities of a Grimm fairy tale, it stars a sublimely sinister Robert Mitchum as a travelling preacher named Harry Powell, whose nefarious motives for marrying a fragile widow (Shelley Winters) are uncovered by her terrified young children. Graced by images of eerie beauty and a sneaky sense of humour, this is an ethereal, expressionistic American classic.

This special screening celebrates the 100th anniversary of Robert Mitchum’s birth.

Adapting Liu Zhenyun’s novel, Xiaogang Feng’s film is a well-pitched satire of bureaucracy and gender politics, framed within a story of a woman who plans a fake divorce (in order to gain a second home), only to be deceived by her husband. Her determination to gain retribution (by marrying him again to divorce him properly) knows no boundaries. Strikingly composed in a circular frame for much of the film, this is a truly unique cinema experience.

Followed by a Q&A with author Liu Zhenyun.

Heat Sun 13 Aug at 7.45pm Michael Mann • USA 1995 • 2h51m • Digital • English and Spanish with English subtitles • 15 - Contains strong language, violence and gore. • Cast: Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Val Kilmer, Jon Voight, Tom Sizemore, Diane Venora, Amy Brenneman, Ashley Judd.

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 showcase in our irregular and ongoing Come and See series.

Investigating a bold armed robbery, LA cop Vincent Hanna (Al Pacino), whose work is threatening his third marriage, follows a trail that leads him to suspect a gang of thieves headed by Neil McCauley (Robert De Niro). Trouble is, McCauley’s cunning is at least equal to Hanna’s, and that makes him a hard man to nail.

Such a synopsis barely scratches the surface of Mann’s masterly crime epic, back for a one-off screening.

Growing Pains

Alice Neco z Alenky Mon 14 Aug at 6.20pm Jan Svankmajer • Czechoslovakia 1988 • 1h25m • Digital • Czech with English subtitles • PG - Contains mild threat and scary scenes.

Cast: Kristyna Kohoutová.

A young girl called Alice narrates to herself a series of events and characters that depict an eerie tour into a bizarre fantasy land, starting with a taxidermied White Rabbit coming to life. Unlike the naive child in Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland who manoeuvres through a funhouse image of the adult world, Svankmajer’s Alice seems to be on a journey through her own dark subconscious. This adaptation is visually jarring and surreal, as well as endlessly inventive, much like the annals of Alice’s imagination.

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.

The first world war in CINEMA

Culloden

Regeneration

Tue 15 Aug at 6.00pm

Thu 17 Aug at 5.45pm

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

Gillies MacKinnon • UK/Canada 1997 • 1h54m • 35mm • 15 Cast: Jonathan Pryce, James Wilby, Jonny Lee Miller, Stuart Bunce.

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

Near the end of WWI, poet Siegfried Sassoon (James Wilby) arrives at Craiglockhart, Edinburgh, a military hospital overseen by pioneering psychiatrist William Rivers (Jonathan Pryce). Having published an antiwar pamphlet, Sassoon has been diplomatically sent to hospital rather than prison, where he meets another writer, Wilfred Owen (Stuart Bunce). Rivers, meanwhile, is heading for a breakdown, brought on less by overwork than empathy.

Screening as part of our ongoing The First World War in Cinema series and also the 100th anniversary programme, Wilfred Owen’s Edinburgh 1917-2017.

Adapted from a wonderfully witty story by Isak Dinesen, Babette’s Feast tells the tale of two sisters in a Danish 19th century Calvinist settlement who pass up their chances for romance and worldly success.

Years pass; they grow into charitable old spinsters and one day French refugee, Babette (Stéphane Audran), comes to work for them. Babette wins some money on the French lottery, and decides to spend it on a lavish dinner for the town elders, even though such decadence makes the sisters fear for their souls...

Potiche Tue 29 Aug at 1.20pm François Ozon • France 2010 • 1h43m • Digital • French with English subtitles • 15 - Contains moderate sex • Cast: Catherine Deneuve, Gérard Depardieu, Fabrice Luchini, Karin Viard, Judith Godrèche.

Catherine Deneuve commands the screen with a regal wink as Suzanne Pujol, a trophy wife (‘potiche’) whose mettle is tested when catastrophe strikes in her husband Robert’s umbrella factory. The smug, philandering Robert (Fabrice Luchini), who secured the factory through her dowry, is taken hostage by his employees, and it is Suzanne who negotiates his release, with the help of union leader Babin (Gérard Depardieu). Under the assured direction of François Ozon, this stylish farce is an irresistible romp through 1970s kitsch, politics and female emancipation.

Mon 7 Aug at 8.40pm Canada Now 2017 is the inaugural showcase of New Canadian Cinema in the UK. This diverse programme will transport you from the placid waters of Lake Superior to the frost–bitten Arctic Circle, from the ravishingly beautiful Tahltan territory in northern British Columbia to downtown Montréal, by way of the blood-soaked rinks of minor–league ice–hockey and an unforgettable monochrome road trip across Nova Scotia featuring the ghost of Andy Warhol and a killer 1970s soundtrack.

From Camera D’Or-winning director Zacharias Kunuk comes this radical Inuit reworking of John Ford’s seminal 1956 Western The Searchers. Transposing the action from the Wild West to the panoramic snowscapes of the Canadian Arctic Circle, it follows the headstrong Kuanana, who returns home from a hunt to discover that his wife and daughter have been kidnapped and the rest of his family brutally slaughtered. Gripped with murderous revenge, Kuanana sets off to track down these marauders, retrieve his family, and exact bloody retribution.

Andrew Cividino • Canada 2015 • 1h29m • Digital • 15 Cast: Jackson Martin, Nick Serino, Reece Moffett, Erika Brodzky, Katelyn McKerracher, David Disher.

Nelly is a bravura portrait of the late sex workerturned-bestselling novelist Nelly Arcan. Drawing heavily from Arcan’s real-life experiences surrounding the publication of her debut novel Putain (Whore), which enjoyed overwhelming critical and commercial success upon release and caused a media frenzy given the controversial subject matter, director Anne Émond fictionalises and explores with blistering honesty her muse’s ability to blur multiple identities as she searches for meaning in a chaotic and contradictory world.

The debut feature from Andrew Cividino, Sleeping Giant is a tempestuous coming-of-age saga set against the serene backdrop of the vast Lake Superior in Ontario. As the restless Adam (Jackson Martin), on the cusp of adulthood, spends his summer vacation with his parents on the north shore, he befriends a wild pair of cousins - Riley and Nate (Reece Moffett, Nick Serino) - who pass the long summer days with a reckless routine of debauchery and cliff-jumping.

However, a hurtful secret will test the limits of their friendship and change the boys forever...

Hello Destroyer

Weirdos

Sat 12 Aug at 8.55pm

Fri 18 Aug at 8.40pm

Kevan Funk • Canada 2016 • 1h50m • Digital • 15 • Cast: Jared Abrahamson, Sara Canning, Ian Tracey, Paul McGillion, Ben Cotton.

Bruce McDonald • Canada 2016 • 1h29m • Digital • 15 • Cast: Dylan Authors, Julia Sarah Stone, Molly Parker, Allan Hawco, Cathy Jones.

In this daring, muscular debut, writer/director Kevan Funk sets out to examine institutional and systemic violence, choosing as his setting the ‘aggressively Canadian’ pastime of minor league ice hockey. Jared Abrahamson plays Tyson Burr - a newcomer to the tightly-knit Prince George Warriors. Despite his mild manner off the ice, Tyson is conditioned by his coaches and contemporaries to become the team’s ‘enforcer’ . But when an unexpectedly violent play results in tragedy, Tyson finds himself ostracised by team-mates, the league, community and family alike.

The latest feature from Bruce McDonald (Pontypool), Weirdos is a stunning monochrome coming-of-age road movie that begins in Nova Scotia, circa 1976. On the weekend of America’s Bicentennial celebrations, 15-year-old Kit (Dylan Authors) and his girlfriend Alice (Julia Sarah Stone) embark upon a hitchhiking odyssey to far-flung Sydney to visit Kit’s eccentric mother, with his spirit animal Andy Warhol coming along for the ride. However, as the couple embarks upon their spontaneous adventure, Kit must confront aspects of himself and his own sexuality as adulthood rapidly looms over them...

Koneline: Our Land Beautiful Sun 20 Aug at 8.30pm Nettie Wild • Canada 2016 • 1h36m • Digital • PG • Documentary.

From award-winning documentarian Nettie Wild comes Koneline: Our Land Beautiful - a visually hypnotic, politically restless cinematic portrait of the stunning landscapes of the Tahltan First Nation and one of the last great wildernesses in northern British Columbia. Not a Western, but a Northern, Nettie Wild’s astonishing non-fiction film transports us to a magnificent land, not as backdrop but as a vivid elemental force that dominates the experience of both the indigenous peoples and the settlers who carve out their lives there.

Window Horses Mon 21 Aug at 8.55pm Ann Marie Fleming • Canada 2016 • 1h28m • Digital • English, Persian, Mandarin, Chinese and Cantonese with English subtitles • 12A With the voices of Sandra Oh, Ellen Page , Don McKellar, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Omid Abtahi.

A remarkable feature-length animation from the prolific Ann Marie Fleming, Window Horses tells the tale of Rosie Ming (Sandra Oh), an Asian-Canadian aspiring poet who dreams of travelling to Paris, which she considers her spiritual home, but instead wins a competition to attend a literary festival in Iran. Somewhat out of her depth amongst the Shiraz literati, the shy and bashful Rosie slowly uncovers revelations about her own heritage, and the father she thought had abandoned her during infancy.

See Filmhouse website for full line-up of films selected by Ian Rankin in July/August 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.

The 39 Steps Wed 9 Aug at 6.10pm Alfred Hitchcock • UK 1935 • 1h27m • Digital • U - Contains very mild language and violence • Cast: Robert Donat, Madeleine Carroll, Lucie Mannheim, Godfrey Tearle, Peggy Ashcroft.

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.

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…

The Long Good Friday Wed 16 Aug at at 6.00pm 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.

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.

Nolan’s Inspiration

FILMHOUSEcinema.COM

Nolan’s Inspiration Dig deeper into cinema this month and see the films that influenced one of the most consistently successful directors in modern cinema - Christopher Nolan.

His World War II epic Dunkirk (see page 4) will live long in the memory for its stark, powerful images - many of which, in their absence or scarcity of dialogue, call to mind some of the great cinematic works of the silent era.

In screening this quartet of films (two of which, incidentally, are silent) we explore some of the influences cited by Nolan himself as major inspirations for this latest film - from the staggering The Battle of Algiers all the way back to the cradle of cinema with D.W. Griffith’s Intolerance.

TICKET OFFER (see page 13)

Sunrise A Song of Two Humans Thu 17 Aug at 3.45pm & 8.45pm FW Murnau • USA 1927 • 1h34m • Digital • Silent • U - Contains melodrama and very mild violence • Cast: George O’Brien, Janet Gaynor, Margaret Livingston, Bodil Rosing.

One of the greatest films ever, Sunrise has rarely been equalled in its sheer physical beauty, its romantic intensity, its emotional poignancy, and its extraordinarily creative use of the cinematic medium.

Billed as ‘A Song of Two Humans’, it’s a landmark in the history of cinema that turns melodrama into high art with the story of a farmer (George O’Brien) whose affair with a city girl (Margaret Livingston) leads him to the brink of killing his doting wife (Janet Gaynor).

The Battle of Algiers Mon 14 Aug at 8.30pm Gillo Pontecorvo • Italy/Algeria 1965 • 2h1m • Digital • French, Arabic, English and Italian with English subtitles • 15 - Contains strong torture violence • Cast: Brahim Hadjadj, Jean Martin, Yacef Saadi, Ugo Paletti, Fusia El Kader.

This stirring anatomy of an urban uprising - the violent nationalist revolt in Algiers in 1956 and 1957 - feels strikingly relevant today. The tone is mournful but the approach journalistic, and Pontecorvo refuses to caricature the French or glamorise the Algerians: instead he sketches the way a guerilla movement is organised and the way a colonial force sets about decimating it. There’s a minimum of verbal rhetoric: the urgent images and Ennio Morricone’s thunderous score spell out the underlying political sympathies.

Dazzling and unforgettable.

All Quiet on the Western Front Mon 21 Aug at 6.10pm Lewis Milestone • USA 1930 • 2h14m • Digital • English, French, German and Latin with English subtitles • PG • Cast: Lew Ayres, Louis Wolheim, John Wray, Slim Summerville, Russell Gleason.

This double Oscar®-winning anti-war drama was made in 1930, just 12 years after the end of hostilities.

A passionate and condemnatory US adaptation of 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.

Intolerance: Love’s Struggle Throughout the Ages Wed 23 Aug at 7.00pm D.W. Griffith • USA 1916 • 2h43m • Digital • Silent • PG - Contains mild violence and sex references. • Cast: Mae Marsh, Lillian Gish, Robert Harron, F.A. Turner, Sam De Grasse.

Mankind’s persistent, repeated intolerance throughout history is explored in this legendary, groundbreaking film from the American pioneer D.W. Griffith. Following widespread criticism of the stereotyping and Ku Klux Klan glorification in his previous film The Birth of a Nation, it would be easy to see Intolerance as an apology of sorts... It wasn’t.

What it is, however, is an astonishing, lavish epic (featuring vast backdrops and over 3,000 extras) set across four time periods - ancient Babylon, Biblical Judea, Renaissance France and 1914 America. In all of these separate, parallel stories, Griffith unravels the conflict and tragedies that ensue when humans refuse to live and let live. Still resonant today, still absolutely astonishing to watch in the cinema.

Jean-pierre melville Fri 1 Sep to Tue 29 Sep Jean-Pierre Melville

Dust off your trenchcoats and hats, because in our September brochure we present a fantastic retrospective of one of France’s most iconic directors - Jean-Pierre Melville.

Born Jean-Pierre Grumbach in Paris in 1917, he adopted the nom de guerre “Melville” while working for the French Resistance in World War II - and kept it as his professional name when he returned from the war. He would go on to be a huge influence on the French New Wave and an array of notable filmmakers since including Martin Scorsese, Michael Mann, Johnnie To and Quentin Tarantino.

Screenings in the retrospective include Le Doulos, The Silence of the Sea, The Red Circle, Le samouraï and more!
