Introduction
CHARLIE CHAPLIN - MODERN TIMES
CYCLING WITH MOLIERE
BOYHOOD
THE 100-YEAR-OLD MAN WHO CLIMBED...
If it’s packing them in, it stays on! Some of you (particularly the ‘disloyal’, who dare to see films elsewhere!) may have noticed that Filmhouse works differently from most cinemas: in a variety of ways I guess, but specifically in that whilst nearly every other full-time cinema in the UK chooses to only publish their schedule one week (Friday to Thursday) at a time, a few days prior to the start of the week, we publish our programme and schedule a month at a time. The industry calls this weekly process ‘holdovers’ and, excepting Bank Holidays, it always happens on a Monday, when the to-ing and fro-ing between distributors and exhibitors as to what films will be kept on what screens, based on how much money they took over the weekend, takes place. Try and speak to a distributor sales bod about something else on a Monday, and you’ll get short shrift. Anyway, we don’t do holdovers because a huge part of our programme is made up of one-off screenings, events and festivals, and it simply wouldn’t make sense to only tell folk about all of those with only a few days notice. (And, of course, we think we’re so darned smart we can predict exactly how long something needs to be on.) But, as Dean Friedman once sang, we’re not as smart as we’d like to think we are, and it has always been a frustration for us to have to take films off that are doing well (btw, Mr Friedman only said the first bit). So, we’ve devised a third way which will hopefully give us the best of both worlds. Most of our monthly schedule will be presented in advance in the usual way, but we will, when it is feasible to do so, leave some gaps in the week’s schedule that we will fill and publish, on our website and in our weekly e-newsletter, by midday on the Tuesday prior to the Friday. It’s a trial, we’ll see how it goes. It’s all done in the name of giving you more of what you want, though we appreciate you’ll need to pay closer attention to our programme than you might be used to... But, as I say, we’ll see how it goes. As you read this, perhaps England have been knocked out of the World Cup and you’re getting on with the rest of your life without the worry of them winning it, or you’re rooing (sic – I’ve always wanted to use sic) what might have been. Either way – and I seem to have inadvertently discounted the possibility of them winning it – the cinema’s the place for you. Our big films this month are undoubtedly the film adaptation of Jonas Jonasson’s international bestseller, The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared, and Richard Linklater’s astonishing (100% on Rotten Tomatoes!) Boyhood. We’re catching up on a few titles we’ve missed over recent weeks (Belle, Jimmy’s Hall, T.S. Spivet (2D&3D), Godzilla (2D&3D)), and there’s a handful (une poignée, even) of brand new French films as well, including the conclusion to Cédric Klapisch’s ‘Xavier’ trilogy, Chinese Puzzle (starring Romain Duris and Audrey Tautou – the first two instalments, Pot Luck and Russian Dolls, are screening too), Cycling with Molière, Agnès (Le goût des autres) Jaoui’s Under the Rainbow, and Bruno Dumont’s Camille Claudel 1915, starring Juliette Binoche. And, with invaluable help from our friends at Drambuie, we also have an almost complete retrospective of the feature-length film output of Charlie Chaplin – plus a few of the better known shorts – all in sparkling new restorations.

Mon 30 Jun to Sun 6 Jul
Belle is inspired by the true story of Dido Elizabeth Belle (Gugu Mbatha-Raw), the illegitimate mixed race daughter of Admiral Sir John Lindsay. Raised by her aristocratic great-uncle Lord Mansfield and his wife, Belle’s lineage affords her certain privileges, yet her status prevents her from the traditions of noble social standing. While her cousin Elizabeth chases suitors for marriage, Belle is left wondering will she ever find love. But then she meets an idealistic young vicar’s son bent on changing society, and the two work together to help shape Lord Mansfield’s role as Lord Chief Justice in a bid to end slavery in England.
Ken Loach’s period drama tells the true story of political activist Jimmy Gralton, who was deported after building a dance hall on a rural crossroads in Ireland – a place where young people could come to learn, to argue, to dream... but above all to dance and have fun. “An unusual story, vividly and intelligently told, and one that leaves you with a stirring sense of joy, injustice and hope.” - Time Out

Aatsinki: The Story of Arctic Cowboys Mon 30 Jun & Tue 1 Jul Jessica Oreck • USA/Finland 2013 • 1h24m • DCP Finnish with English subtitles • cert tbc • Documentary
Vérité documentaries are rarely as visually exquisite or innately soulful as this remarkable film from director Jessica Oreck. Imbued with a warmth that belies its frigid Finnish Lapland setting, Aatsinki thoughtfully observes Aarne and Lasse, two brothers who toil as reindeer herders. Observing these men and their families over the course of a year, we see their intense labour and hard earned leisure, slowly attuning ourselves to the compelling rhythms of their daily and seasonal routines.
Spring in a Small Town Fei Mu • China 1948 • 1h38m DCP • Mandarin with English subtitles U – Contains mild injury detail Cast: Wei Wei, Cui Chaoming, Li Wei, Shi Yu, Zhang Hongmei.
Regarded as the finest work from the first great era of Chinese filmmaking, Fei Mu’s quiet, piercingly poignant study of adulterous desire and guilt-ridden despair – now restored – is a remarkable rediscovery. After eight years of marriage to Liyan – once rich but now sickly and almost suicidally apathetic following a long, ruinous war – Yuwen does little except deliver his daily medication. A surprise visit from Liyan’s friend Zhang re-energises the household, the invalid included. Liyan’s young sister is not alone in her excitement over the muchtravelled guest; Yuwen knew him before her marriage… Eliciting a great performance from Wei Wei as Yuwen, whose wistful voiceover offers insights into her conflicted feelings, Fei creates a tense, sensual chamberwork steeped in suspicion and suppressed longing, deep resentments and half-spoken truths. (Geoff Andrew, BFI)

Based on the internationally best-selling novel by Jonas Jonasson, this quirky black comedy has already been a huge hit at the box office in Sweden. It concerns an explosives expert who climbs out of the window of his retirement home on his 100th birthday, deciding it’s never too late to go on an adventure. Along the way he picks up a suitcase full of cash (amongst other things and people), and we discover that his life has been connected to some of the biggest events of the 20th century.

Jean-Pierre Jeunet • France/Canada 2013 • 1h45m DCP • 12A – Contains infrequent strong language Cast: Helena Bonham Carter, Robert Maillet, Callum Keith Rennie, Judy Davis, Niamh Wilson.
A warm, funny, literate comedy from the director of The Women on the 6th Floor. A once great actor, Serge Tanneur (Fabrice Luchini), has retired from the limelight. Too much pressure meant that one day, he simply decided he would act no more. For the past three years, he has lived in solitude on the Île de Ré, spending his time cycling through the windswept landscape. Fellow actor Gauthier Valence (Lambert Wilson), whose career is flying high, is planning a production of Molière’s play The Misanthrope and wants to offer Serge the title role. Gauthier is convinced he will accept, since Serge himself has become a misanthrope, withdrawn from society and raging against the world. But Serge plays hard to get. Instead of committing, he suggests they rehearse together for a week. Things seem to be going well, especially when a mysterious Italian divorcee (Maya Sansa) appears. But is Serge merely toying with Gauthier, or does he really intend to take to the stage once more?
A charming and beautifully stylish road movie from the director of Amélie. T.S. Spivet lives on a remote ranch in Montana with his parents, his sister Gracie and his brother Layton. A gifted child with a passion for science, he has invented a perpetual motion machine, for which he has been awarded the prestigious Baird Prize by the Smithsonian Institution in Washington. He leaves a note for his family and hops a freight train to make his way across the United States and receive his prize. But no one there suspects that the lucky winner is a ten-year-old child with a very dark secret...

John Maloof & Charlie Siskel • USA 2013 • 1h23m • DCP • cert tbc Documentary
Hailed by Michael Moore as “one of the best documentaries about a band that I’ve ever seen” and by Pitchfork as “the funniest, most meta music movie since Spinal Tap”, Mistaken for Strangers is a truly hilarious, unusual, and moving film about two brothers, Matt and Tom Berninger. Matt, the lead singer of the critically acclaimed rock band The National, finally finds himself flush with success. His younger brother, Tom, is a loveable slacker – a filmmaker and metal-head still living with his parents in Cincinnati. On the eve of The National’s biggest tour to date, Matt invites Tom to work for the band as a roadie, unaware of Tom’s plan to film the entire adventure. What starts as a rock documentary soon becomes a surprisingly honest portrait of a charged relationship between two brothers, and the frustration of unfulfilled creative ambitions.
In 1999 Joe is an engineer at a nuclear power plant in Japan, which is destroyed in a series of earthquakes. His wife dies in the accident, and he becomes a wild-eyed conspiracy theorist, trying desperately to prove that the official explanation for the disaster is a smoke screen...
SPECIALSCREENING
Godzilla (1954) Gojira Mon 14 Jul at 8.45pm Ishirô Honda • Japan 1954 • 1h36m • 35mm Japanese with English subtitles PG – Contains mild scary monster scenes Cast: Akira Takarada, Momoko Kôchi, Akihiko Hirata.
Cut by American censors sensitive to its anti-nuclear, anti-war message on its previous Western release, the original Godzilla is back in its full-length, full-strength glory. Several Japanese ships are lost and a remote island is terrorised following H-bomb testing in the Pacific. Investigating scientists come face to face with the cause – an invulnerable thirty-storey Jurassic throwback with radioactive breath and a major talent for destruction. And he’s headed for the mainland...
An absorbing documentary that deftly interweaves two fascinating narratives. One is that of the discovery of the photographic work of Vivian Maier and the process by which she achieved her recent, posthumous glory as one of the greatest American street photographers. The other narrative is that of Maier’s life itself, which, because of her secretiveness, the scarcity of official records, and the absence of relatives or close friends to testify, becomes a mystery story, with filmmaker John Maloof as detective. Maloof became Maier’s archivist after his purchase of a box of photographic negatives at a public auction led him to discover her work. His obsession with finding out the details of her life drives the filmmaker to seek out her neighbours and the people for whom she worked as a nanny, and to travel from Chicago, where she lived, to a village in France that she photographed on at least two separate visits. Finding Vivian Maier probes the life of a deeply private person and tries to fill the gaps in the world’s knowledge of her with the indications she left, in her photographs, of how she experienced the world.

Billy Wilder • USA 1959 • 2h1m • DCP • U Cast: Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, Marilyn Monroe, Joe E Brown, George Raft.
The powerful bond between people and horses in a rugged rural community in Iceland is explored in this highly original series of interlinked stories, told with a wry sense of humour. The lives, deaths and sexual desires of its eccentric human cast seem inextricably linked to their equine partners, even if the horses often come across as smarter. Unique, engaging and beautifully shot, Of Horses and Men features some truly astonishing sequences and never loses its ability to surprise, shock and entertain.
After Barcelona for Pot Luck (L’auberge espagnole) and London and St Petersburg for Russian Dolls (Les poupées russes), Cédric Klapisch this time takes his much-loved characters to New York and Paris. Having backpacked, talked and slept his way around Europe, Xavier (Romain Duris) finally married English rose Wendy (Kelly Reilly). By this time this film begins, however, she has taken their two children and is living with a successful architect on Central Park South. In hot pursuit, Xavier crashes with his friend Isabelle (Cécile De France) in her loft in trendy Brooklyn, makes ends meet working as a bike messenger, and learns a few brutal New York truths. On the verge of defeat and in a creative slump, a sudden call from old flame Martine (Audrey Tautou), recently divorced and visiting New York, gets him thinking; before long, the freewheeling Xavier has embarked on a series of fresh emotional complications. Pot Luck and Russian Dolls, the first two parts of this delightful trilogy, screen on Sunday 20 July – see page 25.
In a story of increasingly wild absurdity, Some Like it Hot follows the antics of two musicians (Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon) who, after witnessing the St Valentine’s Day Massacre, escape from the Mob by dressing up in drag and joining an all-girl band. Comic complications aplenty ensue when Tony Curtis – now a pouting girl – strives to express his desire for Marilyn Monroe, while Jack Lemmon – equally high-voiced and simpering – is being pursued by an amorous Joe E Brown, who has one of the funniest – and most radical – final punchlines in screen comedy. Some Like It Hot is one of those rare movies where all the elements gel all the time. Both Curtis and Lemmon display a real feeling for sexual ambiguity and full-blown silliness, while Marilyn provides a suitably contrasting innocence to the antics of the two rogues. Wilder presents all three with great comic scenes which soar on the back of originality and great timing and embrace both slapstick and supersharp wit.

Agnès Jaoui • France 2013 • 1h52m DCP • French with English subtitles 15 – Contains drug use, infrequent strong language Cast: Agathe Bonitzer, Agnès Jaoui, Arthur Dupont, Jean-Pierre Bacri, Benjamin Biolay.
Richard Linklater (Dazed and Confused, the Before Sunrise trilogy) makes a triumphant return to his independent roots with this dazzling micro-epic, shot in 39 days over the course of twelve years in and around Austin, Texas. Boyhood follows the tumultuous lives of Mason Sr (Ethan Hawke), Olivia (Patricia Arquette), Mason Jr (Ellar Coltrane) and his older sister Samantha (Lorelei Linklater) from around the time Mason is six until he begins his freshman year of college. Within that timeframe, relationships ebb and flow, loved ones pass away, romantic entanglements develop, and life generally takes its course. Today, we’re accustomed to bells, whistles, and CGI pyrotechnics deployed in the hopes of holding our attention on screen. What Linklater and his top-notch cast offer is just the opposite – small, intimate moments of the type we may witness every day in our own homes but never stop to appreciate. Boyhood is a glorious achievement in filmmaking.
Twenty-four-year-old Laura (Agathe Bonitzer) has faith that someday her Prince Charming will suddenly appear. But when such a man does turn up, so, at the same time, does another one – charming in a different way, but equally alluring. In a flash, all of Laura’s assumptions about life and the future become fairy dust. Under the Rainbow is a contemporary fairytale with more than its share of twists, imbued with the sharp existential humour we have come to expect from the duo of Agnès Jaoui and Jean-Pierre Bacri (Le Goût des Autres, Look at Me). Both once again collaborate on the script and co-star as Pierre and Marian, a comically neurotic middle-aged pair who, despite being a generation older than Laura, face a similar predicament: how to lead their lives in relation to their sometimes wild dreams and expectations.
A 50th anniversary restoration of Richard Lester’s hugely successful caper, which attempts to depict a ‘typical’ 36 hours in the hectic lives of the Beatles. The film follows the Fab Four’s journey from Liverpool to London to record a TV show, and features performances of several of their hit singles. Described by US critic Andrew Sarris as “the Citizen Kane of jukebox movies”, A Hard Day’s Night spearheaded the 1960s introduction of pop music onto film soundtracks.

Sini Anderson • USA 2013 • 1h21m • DCP 15 – Contains strong language, sex references • Documentary
Winner of both the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award for US Dramatic Film at the Sundance Film Festival, Ryan Coogler’s Fruitvale Station follows the true story of Oscar Grant (Michael B Jordan), a 22-year-old African American who was gunned down by Public Transport Police in Oakland, California. It’s New Year’s Eve and Oscar has a busy day ahead of him, attempting to get a head start on his New Year’s resolutions by getting back the job from which he was recently fired, mending his relationship with his girlfriend and young daughter and visiting his mother on her birthday. However, shortly after midnight events take a tragic turn when a fight breaks out on a subway platform.
In one of her most committed and profound performances, the great French actress Juliette Binoche plays Camille Claudel some years after the famous sculptress was committed to a benevolent asylum by her family. Pinning her hopes on a longed-for visit from her brother, Camille keeps herself apart from the other inmates and for the most part enjoys a degree of trust and respect from the nuns, but her composure is fragile and she remains bitter and paranoid when the subject of her old lover Auguste Rodin comes up. Most tragically of all, she refuses to return to her work. A radically different take from the tempestuous biopic that earned Isabelle Adjani an Oscar nomination in 1990, Bruno Dumont’s film is restrained, sometimes harrowing, but singularly authentic and deeply felt.
Kathleen Hanna, known to many as the lead singer of seminal bands Bikini Kill and Le Tigre, was one of the music world’s most outspoken performers and a pioneer of the riot grrrl movement – until she inexplicably vanished from the scene in 2005. Using 20 years worth of archival footage plus interviews with Hanna, her husband (and Beastie Boy) Adam Horowitz, Joan Jett, Kim Gordon and others, Sini Anderson’s candid and intimate portrait reveals why, while also providing a comprehensive and rousing overview of Hanna’s influential career. “Terrifically watchable and impressively empowering.” - The Guardian

“A totally unique mixture of documentary, fiction and playful visual poetry.” - EIFF 2013 “Very beautiful and utterly bonkers.” - The List Nominated for the Michael Powell Award (EIFF 2013), Dummy Jim weaves fiction, documentary, animation and archive to explore the eccentric adventures of profoundly deaf Scots long-distance cyclist James Duthie who hailed from close-knit Aberdeenshire fishing community Cairnbulg and Inverallochy. In 1951, he set out on a lone cycling tour to Morocco. After three months of pedalling, he reached the Arctic Circle. Twelve years in the making, this is a multi-layered memorial to a quietly determined maverick and the community that shaped him, with present-day village inhabitants emerging as creative participants. Deaf actor Samuel Dore leads.
“If you like humour, rebellion, mischief or social conscience, you will enjoy this.” - Lesley Riddoch. The inside story of the campaign against the Skye Bridge tolls, ten years after. Plucky islanders stand up to the might of the government and the Bank of America, and win. The Bridge Rising takes you behind closed doors, as the people on both sides of the front line tell their own stories in their own words – from protesters to police to politicians, from the toll-collector to the Bridge engineer. Packed with humour, twists and bittersweet surprises.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Matt Hulse and lead actor Samuel Dore. The screening will be captioned and will have BSL / English interpretation by Jo Ross. PLUS live performance from film composers The Twelve Hour Foundation. www.dummyjim.com
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Drew Millar, SKAT protester, who appears in the film.

Charles Chaplin • USA 1921 • 1h • DCP Silent • U – Contains no material likely to offend or harm Cast: Charles Chaplin, Jackie Coogan, Carl Miller, Edna Purviance.
Sat 5 Jul at 3.40pm & Sun 6 Jul at 6.15pm
Charles Chaplin (1889-1977) was born in London and, following a difficult, impoverished childhood, rose to worldwide fame in the silent era. His career across stage and screen spanned more than seven decades, and his private life was often mired in controversy. He remains a hugely important figure in the history of cinema, and we’re delighted to present all but one of his feature-length films along with three shorts.
Chaplin’s first feature-length production, in which a tramp finds a baby, abandoned by its unwed mother, and brings the child up. Chaplin draws on his childhood memories of growing up in poverty, and the result is a wonderfully effective blend of pathos and humour.
This is the tenth special season of films showcased in partnership with Drambuie, whose ongoing financial support allows Filmhouse to screen unique cinematic programmes that showcase extraordinary filmmakers, actors and actresses that have made a lasting impact on cultural society as well as film history. Alongside these extraordinary films, audiences can experience Drambuie’s unique blend of Scotch whisky, spices and heather honey in an array of bespoke cocktails at our Café Bar, created to celebrate each season.

Charles Chaplin • USA 1931 • 1h27m • DCP • Silent • U Cast: Charles Chaplin, Virginia Cherrill, Florence Lee, Harry Myers.
Possibly the least characteristic film of Chaplin’s career, A Woman of Paris opens with a title card addressed to “the public”, informing the audience that Chaplin himself does not appear in the film, and that it is his first serious drama. The story concerns a young woman from a village in France, who plans to elope with her lover but, when fate intervenes, instead sets out for Paris alone.
Falsely suspected of being a pickpocket, Chaplin’s Little Tramp is running from the cops and sneaks into a circus tent to hide. Unintentionally, he disrupts the show, but the crowd love him and the ringmaster hires him. Hilarious adventures follow, including a close shave involving a tightrope, a broken support wire and a playful monkey... PLUS SHORT Pay Day
Chaplin was deep into production of his silent City Lights when Hollywood was overwhelmed by the talkie revolution. After months of contemplation, Chaplin decided to finish the film as it began – in silence, save for a musical score and an occasional sound effect. Once again cast as the Little Tramp, Chaplin makes the acquaintance of a blind flower girl, who is under the impression that the shabby tramp is a millionaire.

Cast: Charles Chaplin, Phyllis Allen, Mack Swain, Edna Purviance.
A bricklayer enjoys a night on the town but his overbearing wife isn’t happy that he’s spent his wages on a good time.
An unlikely participant in the 1898 Yukon gold rush, Charlie finds himself sharing a remote cabin with two menacinglooking prospectors. He eats a shoe, falls in love from afar with saloon girl Georgia, and finally strikes gold. One of the most elaborately produced of Chaplin’s silent comedies, taking him fourteen months to complete. PLUS SHORT The Idle Class Charles Chaplin • USA 1921 • 32m • DCP • Silent • U Cast: Charles Chaplin, Edna Purviance, Mack Swain, Henry Bergman.
The Little Tramp sneaks into a upper class golf resort.

Made at the time of Roosevelt’s New Deal, Chaplin’s first ‘political’ film tells the story of a worker buffeted about and neglected by inhuman forces of industrialisation, politics and the law. Between wonderful stage sets and routines which see his famous ‘Little Tramp’ figure almost literally transformed into just one more product, the hero befriends an orphaned teenager, and together they set out to carve out a little bit of happiness in the world.

The Great Dictator
Limelight
Sat 26 Jul at 3.30pm & Sun 27 Jul at 5.45pm
Sat 2 Aug at 3.15pm & Sun 3 Aug at 5.00pm
Charles Chaplin • USA 1940 • 2h6m • DCP • PG Cast: Charles Chaplin, Jack Oakie, Reginald Gardiner, Henry Daniell, Paulette Goddard.
Charles Chaplin • USA 1952 • 2h14m DCP • U – Contains very mild sex references Cast: Charles Chaplin, Claire Bloom, Nigel Bruce, Buster Keaton, Sydney Chaplin.
In 1940 Chaplin turned a merciless eye on the horror of Nazi Germany, playing an anonymous Jewish barber who returns to his homeland an amnesiac, unaware of the rise of fascism yet bearing an uncanny resemblance to cruelyet-buffoonish dictator Adenoid Hynkel (Hitler, by any other name), for whom he’s soon mistaken. Leavened with vaudevillian humour, this corrosive satire ends with a plea for democracy and tolerance that’s as timely today as on its original release.
A sweetly elegiac drama about a fading music-hall star (Chaplin, beautifully partnered by Buster Keaton – the only time the two appeared in a film together) who falls in love with a suicidal young dancer (Claire Bloom). One of Chaplin’s least political later films, though politics were looming large in his private life – considered a dangerous radical in the United States, he was refused entry to the country when he tried to return to Los Angeles following the UK premiere of the film.
Monsieur Verdoux Tue 29 Jul at 8.30pm & Wed 30 Jul at 6.00pm Charles Chaplin • USA 1947 • 2h4m • DCP PG – Contains mild implied violence, suicide, and language Cast: Charles Chaplin, Mady Correll, Allison Roddan, Robert Lewis, Audrey Betz.
Chaplin bought and adapted the story idea for this 1947 black comedy from Orson Welles, who had wanted to direct Chaplin in the title role of a serial killer based on the French ‘Bluebeard’, Henri Désiré Landru. Probably Chaplin’s most pessimistic film, there’s not a jot of the sweetness and sentimentality that characterised his previous work, which perhaps reflects his troubled personal life around this time.
A King in New York Tue 5 Aug at 8.45pm & Wed 6 Aug at 5.45pm Charles Chaplin • UK 1957 • 1h45m DCP • U – Contains very mild comic violence Cast: Charles Chaplin, Maxine Audley, Jerry Desmonde, Sidney James.
Panned by contemporary critics and effectively banned in the USA for 16 years, A King in New York remains as a testament to Chaplin’s determination to expose what he perceived as the political failings of the society that rejected him. Chaplin, having been expelled from his adopted homeland, shot the film entirely in England, and stars as the exiled King Shahdov of Estrovia, who arrives in New York after he is deposed in his homeland. Sensing an opportunity, a shrewd TV personality hoists the bumbling ex-monarch on to television, and sure enough, he becomes an overnight celebrity.

For these shows we choose to screen dubbed versions where these are available, but some films will be in their original language with subtitles – these are marked on individual film descriptions. Please note: although we normally disapprove of people talking during screenings, these shows are primarily for kids, so grown-ups should expect some noise!

Tomm Moore • France/Belgium/Ireland 2009 • 1h19m DCP • PG – Contains some scary scenes With the voices of Venise du Bois du Roy, Brendan Gleeson, Liam Hourican, Mick Lally, Michael McGrath.
Stéphane Aubier, Vincent Patar & Benjamin Renner France 2012 • 1h19m • DCP • French with English subtitles U – Contains mild threat and very mild bad language With the voices of Lambert Wilson, Pauline Brunner, Anne-Marie Loop, Patrice Melennec.
In a remote medieval outpost of Ireland, young Brendan embarks on a new life of adventure when a celebrated master illuminator arrives from foreign lands carrying a book brimming with secret wisdom and powers. To help complete the magical book, Brendan has to overcome his deepest fears on a dangerous quest that takes him into the enchanted forest where mythical creatures hide. It is here that he meets the fairy Aisling, a mysterious young wolfgirl, who helps him along the way. This beautiful hand-drawn animation springs to life with colour and meticulous technique, filigreed and curlicued like the luminous book at its centre.
The Railway Children Sun 20 Jul at 11am Lionel Jeffries • UK 1970 • 1h49m • DCP • U Cast: Dinah Sheridan, Bernard Cribbins, Iain Cuthbertson, Jenny Agutter, Sally Thomsett.
Three children and their mother move to a country house after their father is mysteriously taken away by the police. Suddenly poor, the family is forced to become resourceful, and the children learn the value of being helpful to others as well. Fascinated by the nearby railway, the children wave to the passengers faithfully every day and befriend one old gentleman in particular. Can he help solve the mystery of their missing father?
A charming animated feature inspired by Belgian writerillustrator Gabrielle Vincent’s children’s books. Bears live upstairs and mice live downstairs and never the twain shall meet. This delicate balance between the species is blown apart when Ernest, a large, solitary and rather grumpy bear meets Celestine, a wide-eyed orphan mouse who previously never believed that bears even existed.

Costa da Morte Fri 25 Jul at 6.15pm Lois Patiño • Spain 2013 • 1h21m • DCP Galician with English subtitles • 12A • Documentary
Costa da Morte is a region in the north-west of Galicia (Spain), which was considered to be the end of the world during the Roman period. Its name comes from the numerous shipwrecks that have occurred throughout history in this dramatic landscape of rocks, mist and storms. We cross this land observing the people who inhabit it, fishermen, gatherers of shellfish, loggers... We witness traditional craftsmen who maintain both an intimate relationship and an antagonistic battle with the vastness of this territory. The wind, the stones, the sea, the fire, are characters in this film, and through them we approach the mystery of the landscape, understanding it as a unified ensemble with man, his history and legends. We hope that there will be a Skype Q&A with director Lois Patiño after the screening – please check our website nearer the time for confirmation.

QMU DEGREE SHOW
We last saw Xavier five years ago at the end of Pot Luck, literally running away from his new life as a civil servant. Picking up half a decade later, Cédric Klapisch’s sequel continues in the same light-hearted, Generation X vein. Xavier (Romain Duris), is now a writer, but it’s not exactly the existence he had in mind. His love-life is equally shambolic: he can’t quite sever ties with his ex-girlfriend Martine (Audrey Tautou) and, apart from the odd onenight stand, the most meaningful source of female contact in his life comes in the shape of his lesbian friend Isabelle...

The Deer Hunter
Ivan Sen • Australia 2013 • 1h52m • cert tbc Cast: Aaron Pedersen, Hugo Weaving, Ryan Kwanten, Jack Thompson, Tony Barry.
Michael Cimino • UK/USA 1978 • 3h2m 18 – Contains strong violence and portrayals of wartime trauma Cast: Robert De Niro, John Cazale, Christopher Walken, John Savage, Meryl Streep.
The latest work from internationally lauded Australian director Ivan Sen showcases the filmmaker’s multiple talents; as its writer, director, editor, director of photography, and composer, he is responsible for the singular vision of the film, one of the most compelling and purely cinematic offerings of the year. Set in the arid outback of Queensland, Mystery Road centres on Jay Swan (Aaron Pedersen), an Aboriginal police detective recently returned to his small home town after a stint in the big city. When the body of a teenage girl is discovered, Jay is tasked with solving her murder. Both the violent crime and Jay’s arrival unsettle the community, and Sen is unsentimental about revealing the harsh contrasts – white versus Aboriginal, past versus present, urban versus rural, poverty versus opportunity – that simmer within the town, isolated by mile after dusty mile of flat, red earth.
A new restoration of Michael Cimino’s 1978 epic drama. Three lifelong friends, Michael (Robert De Niro), Nick (Christopher Walken) and Steve (John Savage) leave the wooded hills of their Pennsylvania steel town to serve their country in Vietnam. What follows is a stark representation of the horrors of war and the inevitable fallout experienced by a small town once the war has taken its toll. With superb performances from an impressive cast (Walken won an Oscar, and Meryl Streep, playing lovelorn war widow Linda, was nominated), The Deer Hunter stands as an important social meditation of love, loss, and life in post-Vietnam war America. “One of the most emotionally shattering films ever made.” - Roger Ebert
