The numbers game... Every night, every cinema in the UK reports their Box Office to an agency who collate all the information on behalf of the film industry. As a result, we get a view on how we do vs. other cinemas in our locale, and film distributors get a view of how their film is doing nationally. On a Monday morning, the whole industry is consumed by poring over the weekend’s figures, and the subsequent post-mortems of why films did or did not perform as per expectation. Not a huge amount of what we show screens anywhere else, but when it does happen it’s undeniably fun measuring our performance vs. our peers and competitors, particularly when we outdo them, which we often do. And the reason I’m telling you all this? As I write, we are the #1 site in the whole of the UK on Hunt for the Wilderpeople! It’s a rare achievement outside the higher ticketpriced London, and no mistake. Big thanks to all, to date, 5349 of you! You would think with our demonstrably impressive audience-pulling power that we’d be able to pick and choose what films we play on release, but often we are simply made to wait a few weeks after our competitors for reasons I’ve never quite been able to fathom. It’s not so bad, we know you’ll wait for us to catch up… There’s a few of them in this programme actually, though I’m not going to tell you which ones! We’ll have screenwriter Paul Laverty himself here with us on our first day (4 Nov, 6:10pm) of screening his and Ken Loach’s devastating Palme d’Or-winner I, Daniel Blake. Tom Ford’s Nocturnal Animals is a supremely stylish noir thriller; A United Kingdom tells the incredible true story from the 1940s when Prince Seretse Khama of Botswana married a white Londoner; and the French Film Festival comes around in its 24th edition! Zut alors! Rod White, Head of Filmhouse

Ken Loach’s Palme d’Or win was a triumphant moment for a firebrand filmmaker whose career has spanned over 50 years, and also for this dignified and stirring film, I, Daniel Blake. It is the all-too-timely story of a widowed joiner (Dave Johns) in Newcastle, recovering from a near-fatal heart attack, who meets single mother Katie (Hayley Squires) as they both try to negotiate a complex, impersonal benefits system that confounds them at every turn. A deeply moving, essential cry for humanity from a master filmmaker. The 6.10pm screening on Fri 4 Nov will be followed by a Q&A with screenwriter Paul Laverty.
NEW RELEASE

As thousands of journalists hang on every Donald Trump utterance, wondering what he might say next, Director Anthony Baxter (You’ve Been Trumped) explores the consequences of his actions in this unique and remarkable document of an historic election, and a timeless tale of the unlikely encounter between a salt-of-the-earth Scottish widow and one of the planet’s richest and most famous people.

They are on a mission to find, treat and repatriate French survivors of German camps in the aftermath of the war.

Her life and beliefs are challenged when she discovers that several of the Sisters are in advanced stages of pregnancy. Anne Fontaine’s film is beautifully performed and exquisitely shot.

One of the most revealing and fascinating films of Take One Action Film Festival returns to Filmhouse. Before Snowden, there was Bill Binney: the captivating portrait of a high-ranking NSA analyst turned whistleblower. In the late 1990s, William Binney helped devise ThinThread: a cheap and effective meta-data analysis programme with built-in privacy protections. Keen to boost its budget, the NSA shut ThinThread down, mere weeks before 9/11, in favour of a more expensive, privacy-invasive system that would prove one of the largest failures in the agency’s history...

Amma Asante • USA/UK/Czech Republic 2016 • 1h51m • Digital • 12A - Contains racist language, moderate violence. • Cast: David Oyelowo, Rosamund Pike, Tom Felton, Laura Carmichael, Jack Davenport.
Joachim Lafosse • France/Belgium 2016 • 1h40m • Digital • French with English subtitles • 12A - Contains infrequent strong language Cast: Bérénice Bejo, Cédric Kahn, Marthe Keller, Jade Soentjens.
Based on extraordinary true events, A United Kingdom is a high-stakes love story that pits the bond between two people against the politicking and intolerance of two governments. In 1947, Seretse Khama (David Oyelowo) - King of Botswana - meets Londoner Ruth Williams (Rosamund Pike), and the pair fall in love. Their marriage is challenged not only by their families, but by the British and S.African governments, the latter having recently introduced apartheid. Oyelowo and Pike shine in this stirring film, directed by BAFTA winner Amma Asante (Belle).
Marie (Bérénice Bejo) and Boris (Cédric Kahn) - a married couple from opposite ends of the financial ladder - fall out of love and are headed for divorce. Things hit an immediate snag when Boris is unable to afford to move out of the home they share with their two children. An uneasy cohabitation begins and their opposing senses of entitlement clash, with Boris demanding half of the property he worked so hard on. Joachim Lafosse’s drama is a compelling watch, as we observe the crumbling relics of a former love.

The screening will be followed by a discussion with BSL interpretation. Curated in partnership with Heriot-Watt University sign language experts.

Fri 4 to Tue 8 Nov
Frida chronicles the extraordinary life Frida Kahlo shared unflinchingly and openly with the “fat man”, legendary artist Diego Rivera (Alfred Molina). From her complex relationship with her mentor and husband, to her illicit and controversial affair with Leon Trotsky (Geoffrey Rush), to her romantic entanglements with women, Frida Kahlo lived a passionate, bold and uncompromising life. Salma Hayek gives a genuinely great performance alongside an illustrious cast.
By the time The Beatles quit touring in August of 1966, they had performed 166 concerts in 15 countries and 90 cities around the world. The cultural phenomenon their touring helped create, known as ‘Beatlemania’, was something the world had never seen before and, arguably, hasn’t since. This is the not-to-be-missed story of the band’s exceptional touring years - an intimate portrait of the band, and a behind-the-scenes look at The Beatles on tour, with interviews, unheard music and concert footage.

La Grande Vadrouille Fri 4 Nov at 3.15pm The biggest explosion of French and francophone cinema in the UK returns to Filmhouse - French Film Festival UK, an annual event now in its 24th edition. The numerous highlights include Cezanne and I with Guillaume Gallienne and Guillaume Canet and JeanPierre Mocky’s black comedy Kill the Referee. Festival director Richard Mowe: “While the UK postReferendum is about to become less European we are delighted to celebrate the cinematic culture of our French-speaking neighbours at more cinemas than ever through the UK.” www.frenchfilmfestival.org.uk
TICKET OFFER
Cezanne and I
Gérard Oury • France/UK 1966 • 2h12m • Digital • French, English and German with English subtitles • 12A • Cast: Bourvil, Louis de Funès, Claudio Brook, Terry Thomas.
Prior to the arrival of Titanic in 1997, La Grande Vadrouille had been France’s all-time box-office champion for three decades. In terms of Frenchlanguage films, it was only displaced by Dany Boon’s Bienvenue chez les Ch’tis in 2008. Literally “The Great Stroll” deals with two ordinary Frenchmen helping the crew of a Royal Air Force bomber shot down over Paris make their way through German-occupied France to escape arrest. The ebullience of the comic performances is matched by Claude Renoir’s exuberant photography. This 50th Anniversary reissue is being shown on a restored copy. The screening will be preceded by an introduction.

Emma Luchini • France 2915 • 1h30m • Digital • French with English subtitles • 15 • Cast: Manu Payet, Zacharie Chasseriaud, Fabrice Luchini, Veerle Baetens.
Sumptuous 19th-century period drama starring Guillaume Gallienne as post-impressionist painter Paul Cézanne. Danièle Thompson’s sixth feature charts the friendship and eventual fallout between Cézanne, who was born into a wealthy family but struggled to make a living as a painter, and Émile Zola (Guillaume Canet), who came from a family of more straitened circumstances but achieved fame and prosperity as a politically-engaged novelist.
Emma Luchini’s second feature is a family affair. Based on the novel by her partner Nicolas Rey and with father Fabrice in a lead role, this tragi-comedy has top class credentials. Martin (Manu Payet) returns to the family home and takes up residence in a mobile home in the garden. Younger brother Gabriel (Zacharie Chasseriaud) is delighted to have Martin back and soon drags him into his plan to seduce Mathilde (Veerle Baetens), an older woman with whom he has fallen madly in love... The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Emma Luchini.

In one of his blackest of black comedies Jean-Pierre Mocky turns his satirical eye on football supporters - especially the ones with Neanderthal tendencies who are likely to go on an orgy of self-destruction if their team fails to win a match. Starring pop singer Eddy Mitchell as the referee who is hunted by an axe-wielding Michel Serrault - a deranged supporter. Reckless about their own safety, the angry mob takes risks that cause a few accidental deaths - which only makes their murderous intent more focused.

She also crosses paths with Vincent (Melvil Poupaud), who’s engaged in a stormy relationship with Eve (Alice Daquet). This second feature from writer-director Justine Triet (Age of Panic) opened Critics’ Week in Cannes.
Poignant story of a brave and resourceful young girl leading a small band of orphans through Nazioccupied Europe. Based on the autobiography of Fanny Ben Ami, the journey starts in 1939. After the arrest of her father, Fanny and her younger sisters are sent to a refectory for Jewish children. For a time, she and her new friends are safe, but the war catches up with them soon enough. Fanny, now all of 13, has always relied on adults, but as Mussolini’s Italy collapses and the chaos of war closes in, Fanny has to be the adult for a group of eight children.

Pier Ulmann (Niels Schneider) comes from a family of powerful diamond dealers. After his estranged father’s death, he vows vengeance and returns to the business with an elaborate robbery in mind. With menacing tracking shots; a cool, metallic colour palette; and a terrific ensemble cast, Dark Inclusion is precisely attuned to the logistical and moral complexities that accompany lives of luxurious crime. We hope to follow with a post-film Q&A (TBC).
Although there is no dialogue, the big questions this film asks - about ambition, acceptance and the beauty of companionship - ring loud in every frame. A man is shipwrecked, and when he builds a wooden raft, he is confronted by the titular turtle. The story then follows the milestones in his life on the island which include meeting a woman and starting a family. Dutch animator Michael Dudok de Wit co-wrote the story with French filmmaker Pascale Ferran. It is the first international coproduction for Japanese animation house Studio Ghibli. Presented in Cannes Un Certain Regard.

La bataille du rail Mon 14 Nov at 8.50pm & Tue 15 Nov at 1.00pm René Clément • France 1946 • 1h28m • Digital • French and German with English subtitles • 12A • Cast: Jean Clarieux, Jacques Desagneaux, Charles Boyer, Fernand Rauzena.
René Clément tells of the courageous efforts by French railway workers to sabotage German troop transport trains. It was shown at the 1946 Cannes Film Festival where the film won the Prix international du jury and Clément won the Best Director Award. The film also won the inaugural Prix Méliès. The screening preludes next year’s Cannes 70th anniversary. The screening on Mon 14 Nov will be introduced by Dr Martine Pierquin.

A first-class French director since the 1970s, Bertrand Tavernier knows film history like few others. Here he has created a survey that is deep, insightful, extremely entertaining and personal. Undoubtedly one of the very greatest documentaries about the history of cinema, he delves into French classics, and includes interviews and footage from Jean Renoir, Claude Sautet, Jean-Luc Godard, Louis Malle, Francois Truffaut and Jacques Becker among many. A must for all film lovers. The screening will be introduced by Dr Martine Pierquin.

The First, the Last
Mal de pierres Wed 16 Nov at 1.00pm & 8.30pm
Les Premiers, les derniers Thu 17 Nov at 1.00pm & 8.30pm
Nicole Garcia • France/Belgium 2016 • 2h • Digital • French and Spanish with English subtitles • 15 • Cast: Marion Cotillard, Louis Garrel, Alex Brendemuhl, Brigitte Rouan.
Bouli Lanners • France 2016 • 1h38m • Digital • French with English subtitles • 18 • Cast: Albert Dupontel, Bouli Lanners, Suzanne Clément, Michael Lonsdale, Max Von Sydow.
A sensual, independent-minded woman is considered a danger to herself and the natural order of society in Nicole Garcia’s languid, handsomely crafted adaptation of Italian author Milena Agus’s novel. The ingredients of an old-fashioned romantic weepie are given class and conviction, bolstered by fine and under-stated performances from Marion Cotillard and Louis Garrel.
Cochise and Gilou (Bouli Lanners and Albert Dupontel), a pair of grizzled bounty hunters, have been hired by a wealthy stranger to obtain a phone in the possession of a homeless young couple that holds critical information. When they turn the phone on, Cochise and Gilou can get a lead on their whereabouts. In this singular and deeply personal universe, everyone, including a craggy undertaker played by Max Von Sydow, seems uprooted, set adrift in his or her own way. 8.30pm screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Bouli Lanners.
Short Cuts

Thu 17 Nov at 6.00pm

1h42m • Digital • French with English subtitles • 12A
Julien Rappeneau • France 2015 • 1h36m • Digital • French with English subtitles • 15 • Cast: Noemie Lvovsky, Kyan Khojandi, Alice Isaaz, Anémone.
Short films can provide a fertile training ground for many of the most celebrated directors including Georges Méliès, the Lumière Brothers, and François Truffaut. This programme embraces film-makers who love the format, from FFF patron Sylvain Chomet (The Illusionist, Belleville Rendez-vous) to actor Félix Moati (All About Them), to newcomers. The selection has been curated by Federica Pugliese, Médéric Tampellini and Cannes award-winning film-maker and lecturer Irvine Allan from Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh and includes Reflexions in the Cat’s Eyes by Aberdeen-based French film-maker Yannik Ruault who will be present. The screening will be followed by a Q&A.
Julien Rappeneau’s enchanting directorial debut is warm, witty and impeccably performed dramacomedy about a random encounter that has unexpected and far-reaching consequences. Thirtysomething Vincent Machot (Kyan Khojandi) is a hairdresser. Life rotates around work, his overbearing mother and a womanising cousin constantly trying to set him up. One morning he experiences powerful déjà-vu when he meets the gaze of a shop assistant, Rosalie Blum (Noémie Lvovsky)... With its themes of fraternity, love and human connection, Rosalie Blum is a timely reminder of the best that French culture has to offer. It’s a joy to watch.

Christian Desmares and Franck Ekinci • France/Belgium/Canada 2016 • 1h43m • Digital • French with English subtitles • 12A Cast: Marion Cotillard, Philippe Katerine, Jean Rochefort, Olivier Gourmet, Marc-André Grondin.
A beautiful, inventive and uncannily satisfying new example of animated sci-fi from directors Christian Desmares and Franck Ekinci, who have adapted a graphic novel by Jacques Tardi. April has an alternate-history peg that’s irrepressibly Gallic. In the late 19th century, a scheme hatched by Napoleon III to engineer super-soldiers scientifically goes horribly awry.

Gilles Legrand • France 2015 • 1h50m • Digital • French with English subtitles • 15 • Cast: Olivier Gourmet, Georgia Scalliet, Dimitri Storoge, Hélène Vincent.
In the final months of the First World War, cavalry officer Charles (Olivier Gourmet) contemplates his future. Angèle (Georgia Scalliet) is his home-care nurse, recently widowed by the continuing conflict. After Angèle accepts Charles’ proposal of marriage without passion, their own battle begins as they come to terms with their fate and how to find some version of mutual happiness. Writer-director Gilles Legrand (You Will Be My Son) brings an intuitive and impassioned vision to this study of raw real emotions and a striking reflection on the Great War.

The Sun 20 Nov screening will be introduced by Dr Martine Pierquin.
Merci Patron!
For Jocelyn and Serge Klur, nothing is going right: their factory that had made suits for Kenzo (Groupe LVMH) in the north of France was relocated to Poland. Now unemployed and deeply in debt, the couple stand to lose their home. That’s when François Ruffin, founder of the newspaper Fakir, knocks on their door. He is confident about one thing: he’s going to save them. He plans to take the Klur’s case before the LVMH annual general meeting, certain that he can appeal to the heart of its director, Bernard Arnault. Can they manage to pull one over on the world’s leading luxury group and France’s richest man?

Filmosophy: Mind and Consciousness Filmosophy returns for a seventh season of original and thought-provoking films and discussions. The films featured in this season offer an opportunity to reflect on a range of issues in the philosophy of mind.

Along the way we will consider various arguments and thought experiments proposed by philosophers in an attempt to better understand what it means to be a person. Each film will be preceded by a short introduction and followed by an accessible and informal post-screening discussion. Screenings will be introduced and discussion sessions hosted by James Mooney, Short Courses lecturer and course organiser at The University of Edinburgh. No previous knowledge of philosophy is required. For details of short courses, visit www.ed.ac.uk/short-courses. For more information on screenings and events or to continue the discussion, ‘like’ Filmosophy on Facebook or follow @film_philosophy on Twitter.

Christopher Nolan’s groundbreaking neo-noir thriller follows Leonard Shelby (Guy Pearce) - who suffers from anterograde amnesia (the inability to form new memories) - as he searches for the man responsible for his wife’s death.

Each screening will be followed by a discussion about the film and the issues it raises. This unique season coincides with the Harry Benson: Seeing America exhibition on display at the Scottish Parliament until 3 December 2016.

Fred M Wilcox • USA 1956 • 1h38m • 35mm • U - Contains mild horror sequence Cast: Walter Pidgeon, Anne Francis, Leslie Nielsen.
Orson Welles • France/Spain/Switzerland 1965 • 1h53m • Digital • PG - Contains moderate violence • Cast: Orson Welles, Jeanne Moreau.
A US spaceship comes across a remote planet, deserted except for world-wearied Dr. Morbius (Water Pidgeon), his daughter (Anne Francis) and their robot Robby. Something has destroyed the other inhabitants, and now begins to pick on the crew... An iconic sci-fi flick, surprisingly but effectively based on The Tempest, with an ingenious script and special effects, Forbidden Planet also features a youthful Leslie Nielsen as Commander Adams.
Falstaff was described by Orson Welles as “Shakespeare’s greatest creation”. Often directly compared to him, his connection to the character is perhaps one of the most organic in all of cinema. Sir John Falstaff is re-imagined and resplendent through Welles’ vision and performance in this portmanteau of five plays. The comedy and warmth remain but, inevitably, these give way to tragedy.
The screening will be introduced by Professor James Loxley, Professor of Early Modern Literature at The University of Edinburgh.
Africa in Motion is Scotland’s major annual celebration of African cinema, and is delighted to return for the 11th year to bring audiences in Edinburgh and Glasgow a wide variety of creative stories from across the African continent. Artistically innovative and thought-provoking, the programme takes on bold narratives through a range of features, documentaries and shorts. In addition to screenings, the programme is once again packed with an eclectic array of director Q&As, discussions, children’s workshops and more.

Youssef Britel • Morocco 2015 • 1h30m • Digital • Arabic, French and Spanish with English subtitles • 15
It is summer 2010 in Tunis, at a point when the first waves of the Arab Spring are beginning to swell. Ben Ali’s government nears the end as Farah joins ‘Joujma’, a political underground rock band. She is a principled and articulate young girl, but also strong-willed and searching, constantly pushing boundaries. This highly acclaimed debut by Leyla Bouzid advocates the noble idealism, determination and exuberance of youth.
Youssef Britel’s La Marche Verte is a patriotic account of 350,000 Moroccan civilians’ dramatic 1975 March into the Southern Moroccan territory of the Western Sahara. The ensemble of diverse characters has one thing in common: a deep, uncomplicated love for their country. This sweeping historical drama, boasting fantastic settings and grand location shooting, won awards at the Festival National du Film in Tangiers in February 2016. The screening will be followed by panel discussion on migration, post-colonialism and the Western Sahara.
Life is Waiting: Referendum and Resistance in Western Sahara Sun 6 Nov at 6.00pm Iara Lee • Western Sahara/USA/Spain 2015 • 59m • Digital Hassaniya Arabic, Spanish, French and English with English subtitles 15 • Documentary.
Most people think that colonialism in Africa has ended. But in the territory of Western Sahara, the end of European rule only gave way to a new occupation, this time by Morocco. Four decades later the Sahrawi people still face arrests, torture and disappearances for demanding their independence. The film gives voice to a brave cast of Sahrawi activists and artists as they offer their points of view.

A story about how life can slip out of control. Uli, Hedi and Finn are a happy, loving family. They get by with various odd jobs, and Hedi particularly uses humour to deal with every setback. But when she begins to suffer from panic attacks, everything that seemed to be certain is not anymore. Well-meant advice, hysterical parents, bored therapists and unfulfilled wishes – all of these create a tragicomedy about fear and the influence of love.

The Weimar Republic (1918 to 1933), was the freest state on German soil: a wild era characterised by disruption, crisis, and cultural brilliance. It was also arguably the most important period of German cinema. The aesthetic foundations were laid for the “seventh art”; directors like Murnau, Lang, Lubitsch, Pabst and Wilder, are still legendary today, their stars Marlene Dietrich, Louise Brooks, Emil Jannings and Conrad Veidt are unforgotten. This essential documentary gives a insight into these great films, and this turbulent time.

Often considered a decidedly anti-fascist film, this continues the tale of the first two parts of Dr. Mabuse: The Gambler. The villain continues his demonic dealings in the lunatic asylum, where he has managed to hypnotize the asylum’s director Dr. Baum, bringing him under his control. With his assistance, he commands a band of unscrupulous gangsters.

Lars Kraume • Germany 2015 • 1h45m • Digital • German with English subtitles • 15 • Cast: Burghart Klaussner, Ronald Zehrfeld, Sebastian Blomberg, Jörg Schüttauf, Lilith Stangenberg.
One of the earliest movies to renounce stars, drama and the other paraphernalia of commercial cinema in favour of a non-professional cast and an unmomentous, everyday storyline. Most of it centres around a Sunday excursion from the bustle of Berlin to a countryside lake, where a bachelor and his married friend drift in and out of flirtations with two young women. Hardly anything happens, but the play of gazes, emotions and counterpoints becomes deeply engrossing. You end up not only learning a lot about life in 1929, but also realising how little sexual mores have changed.
Attorney General Bauer, himself Jewish, has been trying to take crimes from the Third Reich to court ever since his return from Danish exile. In 1957, Bauer receives crucial evidence on the whereabouts of Adolf Eichmann - the Lieutenant Colonel responsible for the mass deportation of the Jews. However, there has been no success in finding him so far due to the fierce German determination to repress its sinister past. Fritz Bauer contacts the Israeli secret service Mossad, and, in doing so, commits treason. Bauer is not seeking revenge for the Holocaust – he is deeply concerned with the future of Germany...

Oh Boy is a self-deprecating portrait of a young man and his city that addresses the desire to participate in life and the difficulty in finding one’s place. Niko is in his late 20s and recently dropped out of college. He is drifting through the streets of Berlin, observing the people around him with curiosity as they manage their daily lives, oblivious to his own growing status as an outsider. One day everything changes, and Niko is forced to confront the consequences of his inaction. And all Niko wants is a decent cup of coffee.
Ania has a strange encounter on the way to work: in the middle of a park she meets a wolf. She seeks to have a relationship with this presumed untameable animal, which develops far beyond that of master and pet. Director Nicolette Krebitz (Jeans, The Heart is a Dark Forest) tells this story of freedom and happiness. Powerful, sensual, and as fascinating as it is disturbing, WILD leads you into the world of a young woman who rejects the tacit contract we’ve made with civilisation.

Christmas is approaching, and with it, the desire for harmony, beauty, light and hope. Being unable to cope with her parents’ conflict, Alex makes a radical decision. A day later she finds herself in the adolescent psychiatric emergency unit. There she meets three other young people: Lara, the striking daughter from an academic family, who’s having acid flashbacks; shy Fedja, who is being bullied at school; and violent Timo, who has just been moved from the closed ward. Under the care of the young psychiatrist Dr. Wolff, they will spend a Christmas together that none of them will ever forget...
This harrowing and emotionally-taut German drama – the second film from talented director Anne Zohra Berrached – details the terrible decision pregnant television comedienne Astrid (the excellent Julia Jentsch) has to make when she must choose whether or not to have a late abortion when she finds out her unborn son has Down’s syndrome and a serious heart defect. Jentsch delivers a raw and moving performance as she struggles to make her decision, with the added pressure that her celebrity implies that her ordeal is considered public property. 24 Weeks had its European Premiere at Edinburgh International Film Festival in 2016.
