FILMS WORTH TALKING ABOUT

56 days that will rock your cinema world!

Well, here we are again… it’s Awards season! I was reminded of such by a communication that came my way from AMPAS (the Oscar® people) listing nine categories’ shortlists of potential nominees. Now, they’ve been doing that shortlist thing with Foreign Language films for quite some time – there’s a lot of films out there in the world, it would be rather too much for the Academy members to have to watch them all! – but, to my knowledge, they’ve not before done it with any other category. It may be it’s for the same reason of sheer volume as above, but I guess what it also does is allows a greater number of films a reason to mention their Academy Award status in their advertising. I can see it now, “Academy Award Nomination shortlisted…” written on the poster. Where will it all end I wonder, “Academy Award Nomination eligible…”?

As luck would have [nothing to do with] it, one of the films on the Foreign Language short list – which at this point in time seems the overwhelming favourite – is Bong Joon Ho’s utterly brilliant Parasite, which takes its place alongside a programme of films that is simply the best line-up of new cinema I’ve seen in a long time. There’s not just the aforementioned South Korean masterpiece, there’s Sam Mendes’ extraordinary ‘one-take’ wonder 1917 (google ‘1917 behind the scenes featurette’ and prepare to simply have to see this film); Taika (‘Wilderpeople’) Waititi’s WWII, Nazi Germany-set, Jojo Rabbit; Armando Iannucci’s breathless Dickens, The Personal History of David Copperfield; Robert Egger’s uniquely bonkers, fog-bound The Lighthouse; Kidman, Robbie and Theron taking on the Fox News patriarchy in Bombshell; and to cap it all off, and possibly the best of the lot, Céline Sciamma’s exquisite Portrait of a Lady on Fire. As if all this wasn’t enough, the 56 days contained herein also includes the best part of an entire Federico Fellini retrospective, in this the centenary year of his birth.

Happy New Year!!!

LITTLE WOMEN

JOJO RABBIT

Fri 27 Dec to Thu 16 Jan

Fri 3 to Thu 30 Jan

Greta Gerwig • USA 2019 • 2h15m • Digital • U - Contains very mild threat. • Cast: Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, Timothée Chalamet, Meryl Streep.

Taika Waititi • Czech Republic/New Zealand 2019 • 1h48m • Digital 12A - Contains discrimination, violence, bloody images, sex references, strong language. • Cast: Roman Griffin Davis, Thomasin McKenzie, Taika Waititi, Sam Rockwell, Scarlett Johansson.

Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy grow up in an intensely loving household. Their differing experiences of young womanhood reflect upon their wilfully individual personalities. Themes of family devotion, enduring resolve and the ultimate tragedy make this beloved story a timeless classic. Weaving together the streams of Louisa May Alcott’s nineteenthcentury novel, director Greta Gerwig (Ladybird) gives this adaptation of Little Women a renewed sense of emphatic empowerment in an ode to the unwavering bond of sisterhood.

NEW RELEASE

Jojo is a lonely young boy living in Germany in the final months of the war. With his father absent, Jojo is an enthusiastic albeit inept member of the Hitler Youth, with his imaginary friend none other than Adolf Hitler himself (Taika Waititi). But when he discovers his mother has been hiding a young Jewish girl in their house, he is forced to confront the veracity of his own beliefs. Tackling the ludicrousness of racism and nationalism, Taiki Waititi crafts a riotously funny and surprisingly touching comedy.

Fri 17 to Thu 23 Jan

Sam Mendes • USA/UK 2019 • 1h59m • Digital • 15 - Contains strong injury detail, language. • Cast: George MacKay, Dean-Charles Chapman, Richard Madden, Colin Firth, Benedict Cumberbatch.

Josh Safdie, Benny Safdie • USA 2019 • 2h14m • Digital • cert tbc Cast: Adam Sandler, Julia Fox, Kevin Garnett, Idina Menzel.

In a bid of true honour and immense courage, two young British soldiers, Schofield (Sunshine on Leith’s George MacKay) and Blake are sent across abandoned enemy territory to deliver a very important message. If they do not make it, hundreds of soldiers will walk straight into a deadly attack and Blake’s brother is among them. Played in one continuous shot, this poignant drama fully immerses you within the brutal reality and haunting fears of trench warfare in the First World War. Directed and co-written by Sam Mendes and starring a host of British stars, 1917 is a masterpiece in the making.

Adam Sandler gives a career-high performance as Howard Ratner, a charismatic New York City jeweller and degenerate gambler always on the lookout for the next big score. After coming into possession of some rare African stones, Howard makes a series of high-stakes bets that could lead to the windfall of a lifetime. But faced with marital problems, business issues and vicious debt collectors, he soon finds himself in serious danger. The Sadfie brothers (Good Time, Heaven Knows What) apply their signature gritty feel to the tale, delivering an edge-of-your-seat, electrifying crime comedy.

A HIDDEN LIFE Fri 17 to Thu 30 Jan Terrence Malick • Germany/USA 2019 • 2h53m • Digital • English, German and Italian with English subtitles • 12A - Contains moderate violence, threat. • Cast: August Diehl, Valerie Pachner, Matthias Schoenaerts.

Based on real events, A Hidden Life tells the story of an unsung hero, Franz Jägerstätter, who refused to fight for the Nazis in World War II. When his peaceful existence in rural Austria is disrupted by war breaking out, Franz finds himself repulsed by the Nazi ideology, and refuses to swear allegiance to Hitler. When called up for conscription, he becomes a conscientious objector and is faced with execution for treason.

Terrence Malick explores the moral and emotional heart of Jägerstätter’s dilemma and the strength of his personal faith in this reverent historical biopic.

From master satirist Armando Iannucci (The Death of Stalin) comes The Personal History of David Copperfield, a hilarious and charming take on one of Dickens’ best-loved novels. From adolescence to adulthood, the good-hearted David Copperfield is surrounded by kindness, wickedness, poverty and wealth. As he finds his way through life, he comes across an array of remarkable characters in Victorian England. With a wealth of British talent, Iannucci puts a refreshingly modern spin on this Victorian tale.

BOMBSHELL

PARASITE GISAENGCHUNG

Fri 31 Jan to Thu 13 Feb

Opens Fri 7 Feb

Jay Roach • Canada/USA 2019 • 1h48m • Digital • 15 - Contains strong language, sex references. • Cast: Nicole Kidman, Margot Robbie, Charlize Theron, John Lithgow.

Bong Joon-ho • South Korea 2019 • 2h12m • Digital • Korean and English with English subtitles • 15 - Contains strong bloody violence, language, sex, sex references. • Cast: Kang-ho Song, Yeo-jeong Jo, Woo-sik Choi, Hyae Jin Chang, So-dam Park.

Based on a real scandal, Bombshell takes a look inside Fox News - the most powerful and controversial media empire of all time. It tells the story of three women in the industry, Kayla, Gretchen and Megyn, who work to bring down the infamous man who created it - media mogul Roger Ailes - for sexual harassment. The script was informed by real-life testimony from former Fox staff, who violated non-disclosure agreements to provide background information. Surrounded by an Oscar® buzz, Bombshell is a punchy and powerful look at workplace harassment in the #MeToo era.

South Korean auteur Bong Joon-ho turns his eye on class conflict with Parasite, winner of the Palme d’Or at Cannes 2019. Struggling to make ends meet, the Kim family are living a hand-to-mouth existence, but their luck changes when their son is employed as the English tutor for the ultra-wealthy Park family. Using their wits and cunning, the Kims slowly infiltrate the Parks until they all have roles within the household.

But when an interloper threatens the Kims’ newfound comfort, a savage, underhanded battle for dominance breaks out.

MR. JONES

MIDNIGHT TRAVELER

Fri 7 to Thu 13 Feb

Mon 10 to Thu 13 Feb

Agnieszka Holland • Poland/UK/Ukraine 2020 • 1h56m • Digital English, Ukrainian, Russian and Welsh with English subtitles • 15 Contains distressing scenes, brief drug misuse, nudity. • Cast: James Norton, Vanessa Kirby, Peter Sarsgaard, Joseph Mawle.

Hassan Fazili • USA/Qatar/Canada 2019 • 1h27m • Digital • Persian, Bulgarian, Turkish and English with English subtitles • 15 - Contains infrequent very strong language. • Documentary featuring Hassan Fazili, Nargis Fazili, Zahra Fazili, Fatima Hossaini.

Gaining fame for being the first foreign journalist to fly with Hitler, Welsh journalist Gareth Jones is looking for his next big story. Intrigued by the Soviet Union’s rapid modernisation, he travels there in search of an interview with Stalin, but quickly discovers that the Soviet Union is no worker’s paradise. With western journalists under pressure from the Kremlin to deny the horrors, Jones is seemingly the only person willing to use his voice for the greater good - putting his life at risk.

After the Taliban puts a bounty on Afghan director Hassan Fazili’s head, he is forced to flee with his wife and two young daughters. Recording their journey on a phone, Fazili shows first hand the violence, danger and uncertainty they encounter in their search for safety. Few documentaries have managed to reveal the reality of displacement so powerfully and with such intimacy, capturing moments of beauty and poetry - and the love shared between a family on the run.

ORDINARY LOVE Fri 14 to Thu 20 Feb Lisa Barros D’Sa, Glenn Leyburn • UK 2019 • 1h32m • Digital • 12A - Contains brief moderate sex, illness theme. • Cast: Liam Neeson, Lesley Manville.

Married couple Joan and Tom have been together for many years, with a daily routine and easy familiarity to their interactions that evokes intense tenderness and mild frustration in equal measure. Mapped out across their household interactions and daily habits, their life seems mundanely content, until Joan receives her breast cancer diagnosis. Across the course of her treatment, the couple share new challenges, as Joan battles with her own glass-halfempty perspective on her illness and they both face a collective search for the humour and endurance to help her survive.

Sudden stirring desires and unspoken deceit interrupts her harmonious existence, threatening to jeopardise everything. A disturbing story of a woman’s search for liberation, despite its immoral foundations.

THE LIGHTHOUSE

TALKING ABOUT TREES

Fri 14 to Thu 27 Feb

Fri 21 to Mon 24 Feb

Robert Eggers • USA 2019 • 1h49m • Digital • 15 - Contains strong sex, nudity, violence, gore, disturbing images. • Cast: Willem Dafoe, Robert Pattinson, Valeriia Karaman.

Suhaib Gasmelbari • France/Sudan/Germany/Chad/Qatar 2019 1h33m • Digital • Arabic, English and Russian with English subtitles 15 • Documentary featuring Suleiman Ibrahim, Ibrahim Shaddad.

From visionary filmmaker Robert Eggers (The Witch) comes a hallucinatory tale of two lighthouse keepers on a remote island in the 1890s. Isolated for weeks with only each other for company, the two men (superbly played by Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson) begin to suspect the other, and gradually lose their minds. Featuring dreamy seascapes stunningly shot in 35mm black and white, matched with a claustrophobic soundtrack of crashing waves and shrieking gulls, Eggers delivers another brilliantly original and distinctive film.

The ‘Sudanese Film Club’ brings together four retired film directors, looking to revive the film history of Sudan. Passionate and thoroughly uplifting, this documentary brings attention to a country’s history interwoven with rare footage of older African films.

The four protagonists, dedicated to their art and to bringing cinema-going back to Sudan, are symbols of resistance in a country facing political oppression.

Director Suhaib Gasmelbari explores how film continues to be a liberating voice in the dark.

Cast: Emily Beecham, Ben Whishaw, Kit Connor, Kerry Fox.

Alice, a single mother, is a senior plant breeder at a corporation that develops new species. She has engineered a flower that, if kept at the ideal temperature, fed properly and spoken to regularly, makes its owner happy - creating a mood-lifting, antidepressant, happy plant. Against company policy, Alice takes one home as a gift for her teenage son, Joe. They christen it ‘Little Joe’, but as it grows, so too does Alice’s suspicion that her new creation may not be as harmless as its nickname suggests...

Céline Sciamma • France 2019 • 1h59m • Digital • French with English subtitles • 15 - Contains sexualised nudity. • Cast: Noémie Merlant, Adèle Haenel, Luàna Bajrami, Valeria Golino.

Winner of a Queer Palm and Best Screenplay at Cannes Film Festival in 2019, Portrait of a Lady on Fire explores the achingly gradual romance between two women in Brittany in 1760. Marianne is commissioned to paint Héloïse’s wedding portrait, but - with Héloïse a reluctant bride - must do so without her knowledge. Masquerading as a walking companion, Marianne spends her days observing and long nights painting. But her looks do not go unnoticed and, as desire stirs, a new taste of freedom threatens to spoil the arrangement.

DISOBEDIENCE Sat 25 Jan at 2.30pm Sebastián Lelio • UK/Ireland/USA 2018 • 1h54m • Digital • 15 - Contains strong sex. • Cast: Rachel Weisz, Rachel McAdams, Alessandro Nivola, Anton Lesser, Allan Cordune.

When her estranged rabbi father suddenly passes away, Ronit (Rachel Weisz) returns to north London to attend his funeral in the Orthodox Jewish community where she was shunned decades earlier for her attraction to childhood friend Esti (Rachel McAdams).

Once back, their passions reignite, an act of defiance that could alter the course of their lives forever. Based on the novel by bestselling author Naomi Alderman and directed by Sebastián Lelio (A Fantastic Woman), this rich love story explores the fraught boundaries of faith and sexuality.

VALENTINE’S DAY

NINOTCHKA Fri 14 Feb at 12.30pm and 6.00pm Ernst Lubitsch • USA 1939 • 1h50m • Digital • English and Russian with English subtitles • U - Contains no sex, violence or bad language. • Cast: Greta Garbo, Melvyn Douglas, Ina Claire.

Calling all the lovers to Filmhouse for a Valentine’s Day special! This was the first time Greta Garbo had been seen in a film that was predominantly comic (though it was hardly the first time she’d laughed, as the ads insisted). But her character still had an icy aura, at least at the outset - Garbo plays a Russian comrade staying in Paris on government business, a situation providing writers Wilder, Brackett and Walter Reisch with rich material for impish political jokes. Then she meets the acceptable face of Capitalism in the form of Melvyn Douglas, and succumbs to his suave looks and honeyed voice...

Paris, July 1942: 10-year-old Sarah is taken with her parents to the Vel’ d’Hiv’ stadium, one Jewish family among thousands rounded up to be sent to the camps. To protect her younger brother, she hides him in a secret cupboard in the family’s apartment.

Sixty years later, a Paris-based American journalist stumbles onto a trail of long-hidden secrets. This film is screening to mark Holocaust Memorial Day.

One day, the uncannily similar Vore comes through customs, hiding something Tina is unable to identify. The two embark on a tentative relationship, but as Tina discovers more about who she really is, she’s forced to choose between the life she’s always known and Vore’s alternative offering. Based on a novel by the writer of Let the Right One In, this daring Scandinavian fantasy was the deserved winner of the Un Certain Regard award at Cannes 2018.

Summoned to post-war Vienna by his old friend Harry Lime, American pulp writer Holly Martins arrives to find his old chum being widely mourned, especially by the actress Anna, but less so by British Major Calloway. In this quartered, ruined, doubletalking city, it’s as well to take nothing at face value...

Le Havre circles around Marcel Marx - a warm, ageing, bohemian artist. One day, Marcel befriends Idrissa, an immigrant hoping to make his way to England in a shipping container. Marcel is determined to extend a helping hand to the boy, but the law, in the form of Inspector Monet, is determined to stand in his way.

The two set off on a hilarious road trip that delves deep into the dark corners of Woody’s past.

Sent to work in a bathhouse for the gods, Chihiro has to break the spell. A feast of gorgeous animation and intelligent storytelling.

Last month, our Head of Programming, Rod White, put together a long list of the best films of 2019 that ran to some 27 titles – such a good year it was! Here are the remaining picks from his top 10 of 2019.

TICKET OFFER | SEE PAGE 15

HONEYLAND

THE BIGGEST LITTLE FARM

Thu 9 to Sat 11 Jan

Sat 11 to Tue 14 Jan (screening on select dates only)

Tamara Kotevska, Ljubomir Stefanov • Republic of Macedonia 2019 1h27m • Digital • Turkish with English subtitles • 12A - Contains infrequent strong language. • Documentary.

John Chester • USA 2018 • 1h31m • Digital • PG - Contains mild threat and images of dead and injured animals. • Documentary.

In the mountains of North Macedonia, Europe’s last female beehunter scratches a living for herself and her elderly mother by harvesting and selling honey, until a nomadic family arrive, disrupting both their lives and the delicate ecosystem required by the bees themselves. Beautiful, and quietly devastating.

THE IRISHMAN Mon 13 Jan at 2.00pm & 7.00pm Martin Scorsese • USA 2019 • 3h29m • Digital • 15 - Contains strong violence, language. • Cast: Robert De Niro, Anna Paquin, Al Pacino, Joe Pesci.

Scorsese’s majestic gangster epic arrived in November on the back of a string of 5-star reviews.

We waited for the critical backlash, but it never came.

Yes, it’s another gangster film, like Goodfellas or Casino (if a tad longer!), but one imbued with a deep sense of regret and morality the earlier films rarely traded in. (The titular) Frank Sheeran looks back at his life as a hitman for the mob, and his friendship with Teamsters’ Union boss, Jimmy Hoffa...

An irresistible and massively timely documentary about John and Molly Chester who staked everything to set up a self-sustaining, bio-diverse agricultural operation in barren, rural California - and filmed it all.

Deeply personal and objective in equal measure, and utterly inspiring.

ONCE UPON A TIME...

IN HOLLYWOOD

EXTENDED VERSION Thu 16 Jan at 2.00pm and 8.00pm

Quentin Tarantino • USA/UK 2019 • 2h51m • Digital • 18 - Contains strong bloody violence. • Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Timothy Olyphant, Margaret Qualley, Al Pacino.

Quentin Tarantino’s ninth feature film was the absolute must-see at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, if the bun-fight on the way into the screening was anything to go by. A paean, albeit a violent one, to the ‘Golden Age’ at its end, an aging actor and his best buddy/stuntman navigate their way through a changing Hollywood.

EDINBURGH SHORT FILM FESTIVAL PRESENTS: AMSTERDAM SHORT CUTZ Wed 15 Jan at 8.40pm 1h34m • 18 • Short Film Programme

The Edinburgh Short Film Festival is delighted to be participating in the Shortcutz Amsterdam International Audience Award 2020. Selected by a panel that includes writer Rutger Hauer and director Hany Abu-Assad, this programme includes some of the best Dutch short films from 2020, and will be screened at film festivals around the world. At each screening, audiences will vote for their favourite film, and the winner will be announced on Sunday 19th January. Don’t miss your chance to see this fantastic programme!

As a precursor to this year’s EIFF retrospective, The Big Score, EIFF and Filmhouse are proud to present Countdown to The Big Score - a special retrospective screening once a month, running from January through to June. Acknowledging outstanding work by composers such as Wendy Carlos, Philip Glass, Angelo Badalamenti, Trent Reznor and DJ Shadow, screenings will include Steven Lisberger’s Tron (1982), Marc Singer’s Dark Days (2000), David Lynch’s Lost Highway (1997) and a 4K restoration of Paul Schrader’s Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters (1985).

TRON

LOST HIGHWAY

Fri 31 Jan at 8.45pm

Tue 4 Feb at 8.25pm

Steven Lisberger • USA 1982• 1h36m • Digital • PG - Contains mild fantasy violence and infrequent mild language. • Cast: Jeff Bridges, Bruce Boxleitner, David Warner, Cindy Morgan, Barnard Hughes.

David Lynch • France/USA 1997 • 2h14m • Digital • 18 - Contains strong sex, language, violence and bloody images. • Cast: Bill Pullman, Patricia Arquette, Balthazar Getty, Robert Loggia.

Scored by electronic music pioneer Wendy Carlos, Steven Lisberger’s influential sci-fi classic Tron sees software engineer Kevin Flynn digitised and uploaded into a visually-stunning world of deadly computer games. Having already delivered extraordinary scores for Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange and The Shining, Carlos proved to be the perfect composer for the futuristic Tron; collaborating with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the UCLA Chorus to create a groundbreaking fusion of electronic and orchestral music.

Featuring a superb cast led by Bill Pullman and Patricia Arquette, cult-classic Lost Highway is a stylish and surreal psychological thriller described by director David Lynch as ‘psychogenic fugue’.

The soundtrack, assembled by Trent Reznor, is exceptional, mixing original score from Reznor, Barry Adamson and Angelo Badalamenti with tracks by artists including Marilyn Manson, The Smashing Pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails, Lou Reed and David Bowie. The album reached #7 on the Billboard chart and achieved gold status in the U.S.

Moving Cinema is a Europe wide project designed to encourage younger audiences to enjoy the very best in contemporary and classic European film. EIFF’s Young Programmers are proud to be part of this network of young curators in Vilnius, Barcelona, Izola and Berlin. Over the last five months, EIFF’s Young Programmers have met weekly to watch, discuss and eventually select two films to share with Filmhouse audiences in February. The project also reaffirms that European cinema will always have a place in our hearts, and on our screens, here at Filmhouse.

Each film will be introduced by our Young Programmers, who will also be presenting new films at Edinburgh International Film Festival in June.

WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN Sat 1 Feb at 5.55pm Lynne Ramsay • UK/USA 2011• 1h52m • 35mm • 15 - Contains strong language, once very strong, strong sex & sexualised nudity Cast: Tilda Swinton, John C Reilly, Ezra Miller.

Lynne Ramsey’s third feature is a superb film, featuring outstanding performances from Tilda Swinton and Ezra Miller as the mother and son at the dark heart of a hauntingly alluring tale. With a non-linear narrative, and her inimitable visual style, Ramsay explores the lead up to and consequences of a child’s terrible crime, exploring themes of motherhood, nature and nurture, and leaves us questioning the very nature of evil itself. Unmissable.

- Angelica Petherick

Showing from 35mm prints. Tickets are £3.

| 10 JAN 20 - 5 MAR 20

TICKET OFFER | SEE PAGE 15 The blend of what is real and what is constructed has become a common trend in the documentary genre over the last decade. The 7th edition of the IberoAmerican Documentary Film Festival in Scotland creates a safe space to open a dialogue between genres and disciplines.

In this inclusive space we will look into isolation, colonialism and migration. In a time of new walls being erected (Trump, Calais, Brexit...), growing support for extreme parties and increased inequality, and anger, we will explore how gender roles in society are changing.

Two new strands, and a focus on Portugal, frame the 2020 IberoDocs edition, that will take place from the 26th of February until the 15th of March in Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Obrigados!

Staff Only tells the story of a 17-year-old girl, who spends the Christmas holidays in Senegal with her brother and father. Tired of planned trips and the ceremonious actions of the hotel employees, as well as her father’s behaviour, she opens the door to the staff area and finds a world that allows her to develop close and complex relationships. This Scottish Premiere screening will be followed by a Skype Q&A with Neus Ballús.

After the success of Jonas and the Backyard Circus, producer Paula Gomes comes back with a fiction feature that openly flirts with reality. João is a lonely 13 year-old boy living in the outback. With no friends, no mother, and no bond with his father, he is scorned as ‘Son of Ox’ and desperately wants to escape. When a small circus arrives in town, João is announced as the new clown. Will he overcome his fears and finally find a place to fit in? This European Premiere screening will be introduced by Lusofonias - Oficinas de Português and followed by a Q&A with producer Paula Gomes.

Federico Fellini Retrospective 2020

20

| 10 JAN 20 - 5 MAR 20

88 LOTHIAN ROAD

FILMHOUSECINEMA.COM

One of world cinema’s most exuberantly playful filmmakers, Federico Fellini’s career stretches from post-war neorealism to the MTV era. Although best known for his epochal early 60s films La Dolce Vita and 8 1/2, he first came to international prominence as a director in the mid-1950s, thanks to back-to-back Oscar® wins for La Strada and Nights of Cabiria, both featuring unforgettable central performances from his wife and muse Giulietta Masina as well as the bittersweet music of Nino Rota.

Fellini’s kaleidoscopic, often sharply satirical narratives draw freely from his own personal obsessions, fantasies and memories and have gone on influence several generations of directors, from David Lynch to Pedro Almodóvar, Sofia Coppola to Paolo Sorrentino. This season marks the centenary of his birth and offers a rare opportunity to savour Fellini’s extraordinary body of work on the big screen.

This retrospective is part of the Fellini 100 official international tour, coordinated by the Italian Ministry of Culture, led

by Istituto Luce-Cinecittà, who have provided the films. All films have been digitally restored by Istituto Luce-Cinecittà, Cineteca di Bologna and Cineteca Nazionale.

With thanks to the Italian Institute of Culture in Edinburgh.

All text is courtesy of Dr. Pasquale Iannone, who will introduce selected screenings.

LA STRADA Fri 24 to Sun 26 Jan Federico Fellini • Italy 1954 • 1h48m • Digital • Italian with English subtitles • PG • Cast: Giulietta Masina, Anthony Quinn, Richard Basehart, Aldo Silvani, Marcella Rovere, Livia Venturini.

An unassuming milestone of world cinema, Fellini’s heartbreaking tale of Gelsomina, a guileless young woman sold by her mother to travelling circus strongman Zampanò (Anthony Quinn), made a star of his wife and muse Giulietta Masina. Rich in allegory, La Strada’s influence has been profound, stretching far beyond the medium of cinema (Bob Dylan and Kris Kristofferson, for instance, both wrote songs inspired by the film).

THE WHITE SHEIK

FELLINI’S ROMA

Mon 20 & Tue 21 Jan

Wed 29 Jan at 12.20pm and 6.00pm

Federico Fellini • Italy 1951• 1h27m • Digital • Italian with English subtitles • U • Cast: Alberto Sordi, Brunella Bovo, Leopoldo Trieste.

Federico Fellini • Italy/France 1972 • 1h58m • Digital • Italian with English subtitles • 15 • Cast: Peter Gonzales, Fiona Florence.

Italian comic actor Alberto Sordi takes on the titular role as the star of a photo comic strip magazine.

Newly-wed wife Wanda is one of his biggest fans and, while on her honeymoon with husband Ivan in Rome, is determined to track him down.

Despite hailing from the northern city of Rimini, Fellini was always closely associated with Rome. Spanning several decades - from the Fascist era to the twilight of the hippie movement - Roma is the director’s deeply personal love letter to the Eternal City.

AMARCORD

CASANOVA

Thu 30 Jan to Sun 2 Feb

Mon 3 Feb at 2.30pm and 5.35pm

Federico Fellini • Italy/France 1973 • 2h4m • Digital • Italian and Ancient Greek with English subtitles • 15 - Contains moderate sex and sexual references. • Cast: Pupella Maggio, Magali Noël.

Federico Fellini • Italy 1976 • 2h43m • Digital • Italian, French, German, English, Czech, Latin, Hungarian and Neapolitan with English subtitles • 15 - Contains moderate sex and brief strong nudity. • Cast: Donald Sutherland, Tina Aumont, Cicely Browne.

Amarcord draws on Fellini’s childhood during the Fascist years. Mischievous, satirical and often moving, the film features some jaw-dropping set-pieces together with one of his most wistful main themes.

Casanova is far from fawning hagiography. Fellini used his adaptation of Giacomo Casanova’s memoirs to puncture the myth surrounding the legendary lothario.

I VITELLONI Wed 5 & Thu 6 Feb Federico Fellini • Italy/France 1953 • 1h47m • Digital • Italian with English subtitles • PG - Contains mild sex references. • Cast: Franco Interlenghi, Alberto Sordi, Franco Fabrizi, Leopoldo Trieste.

The best of Fellini went into this bleakly funny study of five young men adrift in the wasteland of their home town. Middle class layabouts living by cadging off their families, aimlessly spending their days in pursuit of amusement while nursing vague ambitions never likely to be more than pipe-dreams, they are trapped as much by their own moral bankruptcy as by the futureless society in which they have never quite grown up.

8 1/2

Fri 7 & Sat 8 Feb

Sun 9 to Wed 12 Feb

Federico Fellini • Italy/France 1957• 1h58m • Digital • Italian with English subtitles • PG - Contains mild language, sex and drug references • Cast: Giulietta Masina, François Périer, Amedeo Nazzari.

Federico Fellini • Italy/France 1963 • 2h18m • Digital • Italian, English, French and German with English subtitles • 15 - Contains moderate sex references, hanging scene • Cast: Marcello Mastroianni, Claudia Cardinale.

Giulietta Masina won awards at both Cannes and the Oscars for this - her finest - performance as the eternally hopeful, life-loving prostitute Cabiria, untouched by cynicism about life and men.

A famous movie director, unable to find the inspiration to start his new film and harried by people in the industry, his wife and his mistress, retreats into personal recollections, dreams and fantasies.

JULIET OF THE SPIRITS

GIULIETTA DEGLI SPIRITI Wed 12 & Thu 13 Feb

THE VOICE OF THE MOON Sun 23 Feb at 12.55 pm and 5.55pm

Federico Fellini • Italy/France/West Germany 1965 • 2h17m • Digital Italian with English subtitles • 15• Cast: Giulietta Masina, Mario Pisu.

Federico Fellini • Italy/France 1990 • 2h3m • Digital • Italian and Japanese with English subtitles • 12A - Contains moderate sex, sex references. • Cast: Roberto Benigni, Paolo Villaggio, Nadia Ottaviani.

Married for 15 years, Juliet seems to have it all: a beautiful villa, the latest fashions and good friends - if only her wealthy husband would remember their anniversary. Juliet is facing a midlife crisis...

Fellini’s final film is a typically episodic narrative following Ivo, a wide-eyed young man who’s released from a psychiatric hospital. The film includes a dazzling nightclub sequence set to Michael Jackson’s music.

GINGER & FRED GINGER E FRED Tue 25 Feb at 12.40pm and 5.55pm Federico Fellini • Italy/France/West Germany 1986 • 2h7m • Digital Italian and English with English subtitles • 15 - Contains strong language and moderate sex references. • Cast: Giulietta Masina, Marcello Mastroianni.

Originally intended as an episode for an anthology series, Ginger and Fred turned into the first feature-length film collaboration between Fellini and actor wife Giulietta Masina for more than twenty years. It sees her star opposite fellow Fellini regular Marcello Mastroianni as two ageing dancers who are brought out of retirement to perform on TV after decades away from the limelight.

INTERVIEW INTERVISTA Fri 28 Feb at 3.30pm and 6.05pm

Federico Fellini • Italy/France/West Germany 1970 • 1h32m • Digital Italian, French and German with English subtitles • U - Contains very mild bad language, sex references, comic violence. • Cast: Federico Fellini, Riccardo Billi.

Federico Fellini • Italy 1987 • 1h47m • Digital • Italian, Japanese and English with English subtitles • 15 • Cast: Federico Fellini, Marcello Mastroianni, Anita Ekberg, Sergio Rubini, Maurizio Mein, Lara Vandel.

Fruit of his long-standing fascination with the figure of the clown, The Clowns sees the director affectionately recreate episodes from his childhood. Fellini appears in the film himself meeting several important figures.

Intervista evolved into a characteristically free-form piece of filmic autobiography. The picture includes an emotional reunion of the stars of La Dolce Vita, Marcello Mastroianni and Anita Ekberg.

IL BIDONE THE SWINDLERS Mon 2 Mar at 6.00pm

Wed 4 Mar at 1.00pm and 6.10pm

Federico Fellini • Italy/France 1955 • 1h31m • Digital • Italian with English subtitles • 12 - Contains mild violence and sex references.

Cast: Broderick Crawford, Giulietta Masina, Richard Basehart.

Federico Fellini • Italy/West Germany 1978 • 1h13m • Digital • Italian and German with English subtitles • 12A - Contains mild violence and sex references. • Cast: Broderick Crawford, Richard Basehart.

A trio of petty Roman thieves dress up as priests to con peasants out of their treasures. We see Fellini’s eye for the grotesque and strange all shot through with an uncharacteristically gritty, cynical bleakness.

Fellini made the political allegory Orchestra Rehearsal for Italy’s RAI, a TV film which featured composer Nino Rota’s final score for his long-time collaborator.

ORCHESTRA REHEARSAL

CITY OF WOMEN LA CITTÀ DELLE DONNE Sat 7 Mar at 5.30pm Federico Fellini • Italy/France 1980• 2h19m• Digital• Italian with English subtitles• 18 - Contains strong nudity, sex references and one use of very strong language. • Cast: Marcello Mastroianni, Anna Prucnal.

Marcello Mastroianni, long assumed to be Fellini’s alter ego in La dolce vita and 8 1/2, comes back as a certain Snaporaz, who loses his way and finds himself in a congress of man-hating, man-hungry feminists.

At the time of going to print, we are unable to confirm the availability of And The Ship Sails On, Fellini Satyricon and Lights of Variety. We are very much hoping these titles will be available to screen in March.

Uncanny Valley is a place for dreams as well as nightmares. We shine a lantern on the nocturnal neo-classics lurking in the shadows.

The unsung heroes of grungy science-fiction, Lovecraftian terrors, social commentary in the form of farce comedies and, most importantly, strange and uncanny tales that evade definition.

Be it a journey into the darkest depths of the imagination or whimsical flights of hysteria and cringeworthy dilemmas, we showcase the cult flicks of decades now adrift and ones best shown at night.

Uncanny Valley screenings are fortnightly on Friday nights and cost £9/£7 concessions (£6 students).

David Fincher • USA/Germany 1999 • 2h19m • Digital • 18 - Contains strong violence. • Cast: Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, Helena Bonham-Carter.

A cult gem interweaving six visionary stories of science fiction and fantasy, all connected to an eerie green orb called Loc-Nar, describing itself as the source of all evil. Based on the magazine Heavy Metal, and set against a pounding soundtrack featuring Black Sabbath, Journey, Stevie Nicks and more, this macho fantasy encapsulates the ‘80s.

Edward Norton and Brad Pitt star in David Fincher’s Academy Award®-nominated cult classic. A white-collar insomniac meets Tyler, a careless soap salesman, and soon finds himself living in his squalid house. Together, they start an underground fight club that quickly spirals into something more sinister...

A tale of heresy and religion that sits between The Exorcist and The DaVinci Code. The rosary of a dead Italian priest ends up with young atheist Frankie (Patricia Arquette), who soon is afflicted by what seems to be Stigmata. Father Kiernan (Gabriel Byrne), priest and scientist, is sent to investigate, challenging his belief and faith in the Church.

Dull, suburban, married, with children, until an outbreak of madness infects mom and dad making them thirsty for blood - their own flesh and blood! Their daughter and son try to survive by locking themselves indoors. Veiled as a metaphor for parents destroying their children’s futures, this fun flick will tickle Cage fans and entertain horror enthusiasts.
