New shape. Same old brilliant cinema.

If changing the shape of the entire printed programme was a sneaky Marketing Dept. ploy to force me to write less, it can already be seen as a major success. But fear ye not, dear reader, for I shall not be silenced! I’ll just have to be a bit more succinct, that’s all… Joking apart (there was a joke in there somewhere), I hope the new shape is to your liking. We just decided it was time for a change (which, for the record, has my full blessing!) and it had nothing at all whatever to do with the fact that standard A5 is considerably cheaper than ‘sixmo’ (as I was once told the old shape was called). I looked back and this document had been ‘sixmo’ since October 1999! Last century!

Don’t let it now be said we’re stuck in our ways.

Limited space now dictates we think of below as a kind of “if you only see three things in this programme” type routine, even though we fully understand you are likely to want to see more.

This is difficult, what to choose? Tale of Tales is a 17th century adult fairy tale adaptation like you will never have seen before – “Python meets Pasolini” as The Telegraph most aptly put it; also Italian, Suburra is a super-slick, muscular and hugely cinematic tale of crime and corruption in contemporary Rome; and Adapting Miss Highsmith kicks off our nationally-touring season of the very best film adaptations of the titular author, some well known, some not, all great!

Cast: Pierfrancesco Favino, Greta Scarano, Jean-Hugues Anglade, Elio Germano, Claudio Amendola.

When a notorious gangster known as “Samurai” (Claudio Amendola) wants to turn to the Roman harbour into the new Las Vegas, it sets into motion a deadly game between organised crime and politicians. Elevated by an atmospheric score from electronic duo M83 and an impressive ensemble, the film builds steadily to an audacious, operatic finale.

NEW RELEASE

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-yearold Sheila Stewart - a travelling balladeer who upturns his folk assumptions.

He embarks on a road trip that finds him dressed for battle, caught between feuding monster-hunters at Loch Ness, and singing in a farmer’s kitchen - before returning to Glasgow for an unlikely final showdown...

Notes on Blindness

The Jungle Book

Showing from Fri 1 Jul

Fri 1 to Thu 7 Jul

Pete Middleton, James Spinney • UK 2016 • 1h30m • Digital • U Documentary

Jon Favreau • USA 2016 • 1h46m • Digital • PG Cast: Neel Sethi, Idris Elba, Scarlett Johansson, Christopher Walken.

After losing sight, John Hull knew that if he did not try to understand blindness it would destroy him. In 1983, he began keeping an audio diary.

Expanding on the award-winning short film of the same name, Notes on Blindness takes a creative approach to the documentary form, using cinema to complement these remarkable audio recordings.

The result is a poetic and intimate story of loss, rebirth and transformation, documenting John’s extraordinary journey into ”a world beyond sight”.

A stunning new imagining of the Disney classic adventure - in which an orphan boy called Mowgli (Neel Sethi) 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 (Idris Elba) and encountering an array of recognisable characters along the way...

Soldiers with a mysterious sickness are transferred to a temporary clinic in a former school.

In 2015 Milan paid tribute to Leonardo Da Vinci by holding an extraordinary exhibition at the Palazzo Reale. Leonardo Da Vinci: The Genius In Milan explores his work as never seen before, telling the story of the artist’s world and the treasures he left us.

Curator Pietro Marani and leading experts tell a story that opens new perspectives and reveals extraordinary things about the painter, sculptor, scientist, anatomist, botanist and architect.

Michael Moore • USA 2015 • 2h • Digital • English, Italian, French, German, Finnish, Norwegian, Portuguese and Arabic with English subtitles • 15 - Contains strong language, violence, drug references Documentary

The Sicilian island of Lampedusa lies around 200km off the southern coast of Italy and has been the focus of global news in recent years as the first port of call for hundreds of thousands of migrants arriving from Africa and the Middle East. Director Gianfranco Rosi spent months living with locals on Lampedusa as hundreds of people reached its shores. Placing focus on a small group of characters and with an emphasis on quiet observation, Fire at Sea gives us astonishing insight into this deeply human tragedy.

Michael Moore sets off for an international conquest.

Styling himself as a friendly invader of sorts, the affable Moore seeks to find out why other countries excel in certain areas - gender equality, prisons, education, nutrition - while the United States struggle.

His journey takes him across Europe and North Africa, meeting everyone from government officials to Norwegian inmates and Where to Invade Next is a funny, thought-provoking watch for cinemagoers of all nations to consider.

Shane Black (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) returns to the streets, dive bars and swimming pools of LA in his third feature.

Our hapless heroes are plunged into a world of eccentric goons, strippers dressed as mermaids and even a possible government conspiracy.

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 teacher and feminist leader, and a delicate relationship begins to flourish between them. Following a family illness, the pair find themselves back on Dephine’s parents’ farm, and face the decision of how best to reveal their love to her family.

Living alone in the dying days of the Civil War, three Southern women - two sisters (Brit Marling and Hailee Steinfeld) and one African-American slave (Muna Otaru) - must defend their home from two drunken rogue soldiers from the encroaching Union Army.

Ben Rivers rethinks Paul Bowles’ short story A Distant Episode (1947). Shot in 16mm against the dizzying landscape of the Atlas Mountains, Rivers’ footage takes the viewer on parallel journeys through documentary and fiction. The camera tracks film director Oliver Laxe, also on location. Abandoning set and crew, Laxe begins to take on the role of Bowles’ protagonist, a professor travelling through Morocco in the late 1940s whose descent into misadventure and madness gives the film a chilling change of direction.

Cast: Christophe Lambert, Sean Connery, Clancy Brown.

A unique film event on the occasion of the Extraordinary Jubilee proclaimed by Pope Francis. St Peter’s & the Papal Basilicas of Rome is an exclusive visit to the four major basilicas to discover the hidden treasures of the Eternal City. Using advanced film production technology, the history of these churches will unfold and show the way they have evolved over the centuries, as well as the most famous works of art and the deepest meanings to be found within their walls.

Screening from a new 30th Anniversary digital restoration, Highlander is a cult favourite packed with quotable lines, stylish sword-fighting and memorable songs from Queen. Its interweaving storyline flits around from 1980s New York to World War II, but it has its dramatic origins in the 16th century Scottish Highlands where Connor MacLeod (Christophe Lambert) first discovers he is not like other men...

Cast: Carol White , Terence Stamp, John Bindon, Queenie Watts.

Cast: Yiorgos Kendros, Panos Koronis, Vangelis Mourikis.

Ken Loach’s first feature film, Poor Cow, is a heart-rending adaptation of Nell Dunn’s novel told with the director’s signature improvised style, dry wit and refusal of sentimentality. Joy (Carol White) leaves home at 18 years old to marry Tom (John Bindon), with whom she has a son. This marks the first of a series of poor decisions and circumstances outside of her control as she contends with domestic abuse, single parenthood and dead-end jobs.

Six men - inexplicably on a yacht in the middle of the Aegean Sea - begin a game that tests their fortitude, endurance and manhood, to establish who is “The Best in General”. The victor’s prize will be a signet ring - the Chevalier. A darkly humorous and increasingly absurd portrait of men at various stages of life and society, Athina Rachel Tsangari’s directs this film about ego, competition and extended adolescence.

Adapting Roald Dahl’s beloved story, Steven Spielberg’s The BFG has been years in the making.

Screening in 2D & 3D - there is a £2 charge for 3D

Shot on location in Verona, Franco Zeffirelli’s Romeo and Juliet uses the ancient city to showcase the action and spectacle of the tale - a bustling metropolis, its crowded streets overflowing with life but always teetering on the edge of violence. With energetic central performances from Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey in the title roles and appearances from the likes of Michael York and Bruce Robinson, this 1968 adaptation won two Academy Awards®.

When Billy finds a fledgling kestrel hawk, deciding to raise it and train it to hunt, the bird’s development gives him hope for his own future.

Driven by a desire to open up access to classical music, the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, under direction of Sir Simon Rattle and iconic choreographer Royston Maldoom (our Q&A guest), stage a performance of Stravinsky’s ballet The Rite of Spring with a cast of 250 children from Berlin’s public schools. Rhythm Is It! received the 2005 German LOLA Award for Best Documentary Film.

The final film by the great Chantal Akerman (Jeanne Dielman...) is a moving tribute to her mother, Nelly, who died in April 2014. Edited together from twenty hours of footage shot over the course of a year, No Home Movie alternates conversations between Akerman, her mother and others who pass through her Brussels apartment, with footage filmed on Akerman’s journeys abroad. The result is a heartbreaking portrait of both mother and daughter from their vibrant conversations about family history, through discrete stages of carers, deterioration and final illness.

Happy Birthday Olivia!

This month, join us for four special screenings to celebrate the 100th birthday of the wonderful Olivia de Havilland - star of stage and the Hollywood Golden Age, whose outstanding career spanned over 50 years in some truly memorable and important roles.

Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte Fri 1 Jul at 6.00pm Robert Aldrich • USA 1964 • 2h13m • Digital • 15 - Contains moderate bloody violence • Cast: Bette Davis , Olivia de Havilland, Joseph Cotten, Agnes Moorehead.

How to stand out against Bette Davis is a recluse and Agnes Moorehead is her strange housekeeper in a shadowy mansion? You do as de Havilland does in this southern gothic tale - you play it soft, sweet and ladylike... and then you let the menace rip.

The Adventures of Robin Hood Sun 3 Jul at 6.10pm Michael Curtiz & William Keighley • USA 1938 • 1h42m • Digital • U Cast: Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland, Basil Rathbone, Claude Rains, Patric Knowles.

Dashing Errol Flynn is the definitive Robin Hood in the most gloriously swashbuckling version of the legendary story. Decadent Prince John (Claude Rains) takes advantage of King Richard’s absence to tax the country into poverty, but meets his match in rebel Robin Hood and his Merry Men, who are on a mission to steal from the rich and give to the poor.

Gone with the Wind Sat 2 Jul at 3.30pm Victor Fleming • USA 1939 • 3h53m • Digital • PG - Contains mild violence and dated discriminatory terms • Cast: Vivien Leigh, Clark Gable, Leslie Howard, Olivia de Havilland, Thomas Mitchell.

David O Selznick’s production remains the pinnacle of polished Hollywood storytelling, balancing an American Civil War backdrop with the more intimate story of Scarlett O’Hara (Vivien Leigh), a petulant belle wreaking havoc on others.

The Snake Pit Mon 4 Jul at 6.00pm Anatole Litvak • USA 1948 • 1h58m • 35mm • English and German with English subtitles • 12A - Contains mild language and mental illness theme • Cast: Olivia de Havilland, Mark Stevens, Leo Genn, Celeste Holm.

Virginia (de Havilland) finds herself in Juniper Hill State Hospital, with no memory of how she got there. A series of flashbacks show her battling with her condition during childhood, a blossoming romance with Robert (Mark Stevens), their marriage and later her treatment in the stiflingly bureaucratic hospital.

But four years after the war, Mathilde (Audrey Tautou) remains unconvinced that her fiancée Manech (Gaspard Ulliel) is dead. As her search continues, we witness the events from that fateful day from different perspectives, bringing us closer and closer to understanding what actually happened.

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.

Adapting Miss Highsmith Described by Graham Greene as the ‘poet of apprehension’, Patricia Highsmith specialised in tightly plotted thrillers exploring the fear, jealousy, guilt and violence bubbling under the surface of outwardly civilised characters. Neurotic men dominate her fiction, antiheroes with a plethora of dark secrets and obsessions, though she was equally capable of studies of great sensitivity and tenderness, as evidenced by one of her few forays outside the thriller genre, Carol.

The artistry and intelligence of her work is widely considered to have transcended the thriller genre and rival that of mainstream literature, and has made for much compelling cinema. This season showcases the very best of them…

Strangers on a Train

Often seen as Alfred Hitchcock’s return to form, Strangers on a Train was adapted from Highsmith’s debut novel, published just a couple of months after her 29th birthday. Two young men whose chance meeting on a train journey leads to a supposedly foolproof murder swap...

In the same year he starred in Luchino Visconti’s family drama Rocco and His Brothers, Alain Delon took on the role of Highsmith’s most famous character, the eponymous, ice-cold sociopath in the sun-soaked adaptation of The Talented Mr Ripley.

Hossein Amini’s accomplished take on Highsmith’s ninth novel sees American fraudster Chester McFarland (Viggo Mortensen) and his wife (Kirsten Dunst) encounter ex-pat tour guide Rydal Keener (Oscar Isaac) while holidaying in Greece. When Chester’s criminal past catches up with them, Rydal agrees to help the couple evade the authorities.

Die Gläserne Zelle

Nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 51st Academy Awards®, Hans W. Geissendörfer’s adaptation features Helmut Griem as an architect who’s released from prison after serving time for a crime he didn’t commit. Struggling to find work and troubled by his wife’s relationship with his lawyer, he soon finds that - like many a Highsmithian protagonist - his life is tumbling dangerously out of control.

1h20m •12A

Patricia Highsmith (1921-1995) was one of the greatest crime and suspense writers of the 20th century. Her novels were critically and commercially acclaimed and inspired major filmmakers, past and present, from Hitchcock to Todd Haynes. Adrian Wootton, CEO of Film London, explores Highsmith’s colourful life, her extraordinary career and the films of her stories with slides and film clips. £5/£4

Already freely adapted by Wim Wenders as The American Friend, Highsmith’s third Tom Ripley novel gets a straighter reworking courtesy of Liliana Cavani, the Italian director most famous for her 1974 succès de scandale The Night Porter. John Malkovich takes on the lead role, while Dougray Scott plays the terminally ill framer tangled up in Ripley’s schemes.

With a strong supporting cast including Ray Winstone and Chiara Caselli, the film also boasts an atmospheric score by Ennio Morricone.

An adaptation of one of Highsmith‘s most intensely personal works - her second (pseudonymously published) novel The Price of Salt - Todd Haynes’ film recently came top in a BFI poll of the Best LGBT Films of All Time. It tells of the affair between an elegant middle-class woman called Carol (Cate Blanchett) and Therese (Rooney Mara), a young photographer who works in a NYC department store. Evocatively shot on Super 16mm, the film is also a masterclass in costume and production design.

Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival returns from 15-24 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

Jazz on a Summer’s Day Tue 12 Jul only Bert Stern • USA 1959 • 1h27m • 35mm • U • Documentary

Acclaimed as one of the best jazz films ever made, Jazz on a Summer’s Day focuses on the Newport Jazz Festival, combining footage from the musical event, with highlights of the 1958 America Cup Yacht Race. Director Bert Stern manages to capture, for the first time in colour, some legendary performances by the likes of Thelonius Monk, Anita O’Day, George Shearing, Dinah Washington, Gerry Mulligan and Louis Armstrong, transporting the viewer back to that clear day in 1958.

Expanding on footage shot of progressive jazz enigma Thelonious Monk for West German television in the late 1960s, Charlotte Zwerin (Gimme Shelter) was enlisted to adapt these raw outtakes - rare in their extraordinary intimacy - as the focus on a new documentary in 1988.

A lively film, with incredible performance footage and newly shot interviews with friends and family, Straight, No Chaser was described by the New York Times as “some of the most valuable jazz ever shot”.

Lift to the Scaffold

Ascenseur pour l’échafaud Sat 30 & Sun 31 Jul

Louis Malle • France 1958 • 1h29m • Digital • French with English subtitles • PG - Contains mild language and violence • Cast: Jeanne Moreau, Maurice Ronet, Georges Poujouly, Yori Bertin, Jean Wall.

In one of the seminal French films of the 1950s, a veteran of the Indo-China and Algerian Wars (Maurice Ronet) and his lover (Jeanne Moreau) plan the murder of her arms-manufacturer husband. But on his way from the crime scene he’s trapped in a lift.

Influenced by Hitchcock and Bresson, Malle consciously puts his individual stamp on an adaptation of an ingenious but otherwise conventional noir, much influenced by Double Indemnity.

Miles Davis was persuaded to provide a superb score improvised in a single night.

Bayou Maharajah Mon 1 & Tue 2 Aug Lily Keber • USA 2013 • 1h38m • Digital • cert tbc • Documentary

Bayou Maharajah explores the life and music of New Orleans piano legend James Booker, the man Dr. John described as “the best black, gay, one-eyed junkie piano genius New Orleans has ever produced.”

With rare concert footage, personal photos and exclusive interviews, the film paints a portrait of this overlooked genius.
