Introduction

THE STOKER

POPULAIRE

PATHS OF GLORY

I’M SO EXCITED!

Welcome to our May/June two-month ‘bumper’ edition!

Now, most of the films you find in our regular programme are booked through UK distributors (though not all, by any means; in fact, most of the films in the festivals we run we have to go outside of the UK to access). These distributors range from household names like Disney (or Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures UK as they call themselves), Warner Bros., Paramount, Universal etc, to one-man-in-a-bedsit type operations. BFI film magazine Sight & Sound recently reported there were some 127 of these distributors in the UK. Well, make that 128! For, in the interests of getting more great films on more cinema screens, we’ve decided to have a go at it ourselves, and Alexey Balabanov’s The Stoker is the film we have chosen for our first release. Our plan is to eschew any notion of expensive nationwide marketing campaigns and the like and do it the only way we can i.e. as cheaply as possible, primarily by adopting the tried and tested way of all arts organisations, that of taking merciless advantage of the goodwill and talents of our brilliant, dedicated staff. We’ll be making the film available to any cinema in the UK that wishes to screen it from 17 May, and then it’ll be on our VoD platform shortly afterwards. It’s very exciting, we’ve never done this before. Our one concession to marketing?

We’ve made a great poster, which you should look out for in our foyer. Be warned, however: look at it for too long, and you will feel compelled to buy a ticket. As if your interest wasn’t piqued enough already...

And now for the films/películas/фильмы/movies... First up is Filmhouse favourite Pedro Almodóvar’s latest, I’m So Excited! (Los Amantes Pasajeros), a riotous comedy set aboard a doomed flight; Mud completes Matthew McConaughey’s rehabilitation as an actor worth watching and is the Huckleberry Finnesque tale of two boys who stumble across MM’s titular man-on-the-run. There’s two from Russia: Sergei Loznitsa’s rigorous and compelling WWII-set festival favourite, In the Fog; and the abovementioned The Stoker, a delightfully idiosyncratic, dark, dark comedy about a shell-shocked Yakut ex-Major-now-stoker whose furnace his ex-comrades-turned-gangsters now use to dispose of bodies. France is well represented as well with the impeccably styled 50s-set romantic comedy, Populaire, starring Romain Duris; Audrey Tautou returns to our screens with Claude Miller’s final film, an impeccable adaptation of François Mauriac’s 1920s novel of the same name, Thérèse Desqueroux; and Something in the Air is Olivier Assayas’ intelligent, rueful, part-autobiographical tale of youth in the revolutionary fervour of France in the early 1970s.

There’s a host of great restorations and new digital ‘prints’ as well: one of Werner Herzog’s finest, Aguirre, Wrath of God; Kubrick’s The Killing and Paths of Glory; Jack Nicholson in frequent collaborator Bob Rafelson’s The King of Marvin Gardens; and ‘the first modern film’ (as Truffaut wrote in Cahiers du Cinema back in the day), Roberto Rossellini’s Ingrid Bergman-starring Journey to Italy.

So, plenty to keep you busy til EIFF heaves into view on 19 June. In fact, as I write, the office is filled with a considerable air of expectation as the films are confirmed... one by glorious one... We’ve stolen a march on their Richard Fleischer retrospective too – with permission!

Tue 7 to Thu 9 May

Pedro Almodóvar • Spain 2013 • 1h30m DCP • Spanish with English subtitles 15 – Contains strong sex, sex references and drug use Cast: Antonio de la Torre, Hugo Silva, Cecilia Roth, Lola Dueñas, Blanca Suárez.

Anurag Kashyap • India 2012 • 5h20m DCP • Hindi with English subtitles Part I: 15 – Contains strong language, violence & sex references Part II: 18 – Contains strong bloody violence & very strong language Cast: Manoj Bajpayee, Richa Chadda, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Tigmanshu Dhulia, Jameel Khan.

Michal Marczak • Poland/Germany 2012 • 1h26m • DCP English, German, Spanish and Norwegian with English subtitles 18 – Contains strong sex, nudity and drug use • Documentary

Almodóvar’s latest sees him depart from the darker tone of recent films such as The Skin I Live In and return to the colourful, camp and outrageous comedy that made his name in the late 1980s.

A technical failure has endangered the lives of the people on board Peninsula Flight 2549 to Mexico City. The pilots are striving, along with their Control Centre colleagues, to find a solution. Meanwhile the flight attendants and the chief steward try to forget their own personal problems, and devote themselves body and soul to the task of making the flight as enjoyable as possible for the passengers...

“A hugely entertaining, feelgood celebration of human sexuality.” - Variety

Set in the titular district around the north-eastern Indian city of Dhanbad, Gangs of Wasseypur is an extraordinary gangland saga following two rival clans over 70 bloodstained years. This epic two-parter begins with the rise of the sadistic Shahid Khan, who makes a living impersonating a legendary train robber, Sultana Daku, and working as a hired goon for local mining boss Ramadhir Singh. But, threatened by Khan’s growing power, Singh has Khan killed, kickstarting a multi-generational, actionpacked blood feud between the two rival families.

Loosely based on a true story, Gangs of Wasseypur balances brutal violence with tongue-in-cheek comedy, taking the cinematic spectacle of Bollywood and adding a healthy dose of gritty realism.

“An extraordinary ride through Bollywood’s spectacular, over-the-top filmmaking, Gangs of Wasseypur puts Tarantino in a corner with its cool command of cinematically inspired and referenced violence, ironic characters and breathless pace.” - Hollywood Reporter Screening in two parts, each 2 hours 40 minutes long.

See both parts and save 25% (tickets must be bought at the same time).

Berlin’s F*ck for Forest is one of the world’s most bizarre charities. Based on the idea that sex can save the world, the NGO raises money for their environmental cause by selling home-made erotic films on the internet. Meet Danny, a troubled soul, as he accidentally discovers this exuberant, neo-hippy world where sexual liberation merges with global altruism, and joins their already colourful operation. From the streets of Berlin to the depths of the Amazon, together they are on a planetsaving mission to buy a piece of forest and save the indigenous peoples from the sick, sick West...

Following the 6.10pm screening on Friday 7 May, Will Anderson, award-winning director of The Making of Longbird, will take part in a Q&A. Here to Fall (Kris Kelly, Ireland/UK 2012, 6 min) When a girl receives a call from her father she is set on a frantic journey through a chaotic world.

Good Night

(Muriel d’Ansembourg, UK 2012, 28 min)

Two teenage girls find themselves pushed to extremes.

Swimmer (Lynne Ramsay, UK 2012, 16 min) The film enters the mind of an endurance swimmer on a journey through Britain’s waterways.

A film about how war turns the moral compass on its head, this Cannes FIPRESCI prize-winner about a railroad engineer, arrested and then released by the Germans in occupied Russia in 1942, casts a haunting spell.

As the film opens, stoic Shushenya is confronted at home one night by a soulless partisan, who’s come to kill him after a German reprisal in which three of his compatriots involved in an act of sabotage have been hung. Shushenya goes along with the man, accepting his fate – and even offering to bring his own shovel for the task. Avoiding death by chance when German soldiers come upon the two, Shushenya escapes from both the soldiers and his would-be executioner, but returns to rescue the other man, who’s been wounded in the ensuing fire-fight. Thus begins a deeply compelling moral tale, infused with a spare but engrossing storytelling style and a masterful sense of visual composition.

Teenager Ellis and his friend Neckbone find a man named Mud (Matthew McConaughey, continuing a run of great performances) hiding out on an island in the Mississippi.

Mud describes fantastic scenarios – he killed a man in Texas and vengeful bounty hunters are coming to get him.

He says he is planning to meet and escape with the love of his life, Juniper (Reese Witherspoon), who is waiting for him in town. Sceptical but intrigued, Ellis and Neckbone agree to help him.

“An atmospheric thriller and coming-of-age tale set on a slow bend in the Mississippi river, Mud has the look and feel of an American indie classic.” - The Guardian

Set in the mid 1990s outside St Petersburg, The Stoker tells the story of an ethnic Yakut, Major Skryabin, a shell-shocked veteran of the Afghan-Soviet War, who works as a stoker.

Living in the incinerator room, the Major shovels coal all day, and fills his spare time writing a novel about a Russian criminal sent into exile in Yakutia in the 19th century, whilst turning a blind eye to his former military comrade-turnedhitman, the Sergeant, who arrives to dispose of bodies. But even our compliant stoker has his limits…

An almost unbearably suspenseful procedural thriller, Tobias Lindholm’s A Hijacking is also a fascinating window onto the phenomenon of modern piracy – yet another byproduct of the catastrophic economic disparity between impoverished countries and the ‘First World’.

Celebrated French filmmaker Olivier Assayas (Summer Hours, Carlos) returns with this lovely, loosely autobiographical tale about a young aspiring artist caught up in a whirlwind of politics, art and sex in the fervid French youth scene of the early 1970s.

When Somali pirates board a Danish cargo ship and demand a ransom for the safe passage of the crew, the shipping company CEO rashly decides to handle the negotiations himself – after all, he reasons, he’s a cutthroat deal-maker by trade. His confidence is not shared by the hostages as days in cramped, increasingly fetid confinement drag into weeks with no release in sight.

It’s 1971, three years after France nearly fell apart during the electrifying events of May 1968, and students in suburban Paris are still carrying on the struggle against both a reactionary government and a complacent society.

By night, 17-year-old Gilles spray-paints slogans on the walls of his school; by day, he struggles to reconcile his political commitments with his love of painting and drawing. After getting dumped by an alluring and unreachable vamp, Gilles gradually falls into the arms of committed fellow traveller Christine (Lola Créton, of last year’s Goodbye First Love). When things heat up at their school, Gilles, Christine and their friends decide to leave Paris for the summer, living the bohemian life in sun-drenched Italian villas, drifting through parties and revolutionary cell meetings.

Alexey Balabanov, well known (and, it would have to be said, not universally loved) at home for a body of work of savage and bitter allegory for Russia’s post-Soviet social decay and political complacency, has not had much exposure beyond the festival circuit – his films have perhaps been too rooted in its nation’s psyche to really be appreciated elsewhere – but we’re in much more universal territory with The Stoker, a fascinating, atmospheric, stylistic tour-de-force of idiosyncratic filmmaking. This harsh, disturbing, minimalist, relentlessly evenly-paced, pitch-black comedy/drama gradually and steadily assumes considerable power, as Balabanov deftly teases our expectations, most notably, perhaps, with an ironic jaunty Latin-inflected, electro-folk score which works to perfection. - Rod White

One of the most intriguing young filmmakers to emerge from Denmark in the last few years, Lindholm is a prime mover behind the celebrated Danish TV series Borgen, and the co-writer of Thomas Vinterberg’s award-winning The Hunt. Lindholm and his collaborators make vivid use of actual locations and draw some of their cast from people who have been involved in similar situations. Far more than a gimmick, these elements of authenticity and Lindholm’s documentary style not only invest the proceedings with a lived-in, matter-of-fact air, but ratchet up the tension and create an all-too-believable atmosphere of claustrophobia and fear.

Smart, sensitive and sophisticated, this is a gorgeous yet clear-eyed love letter to youth and its invaluable potential.

Can a Catholic priest really make a difference in the lives of the poor and destitute who make up his congregation in a Buenos Aires shanty town? Come to that, should he, if it means getting his hands dirty in ways that the Church would surely frown on? These are the urgent moral questions that confront Father Nicolas (Jérémie Renier – from the Dardennes’ The Child and The Kid with a Bike) when he joins Father Julian (Ricardo Darín, The Secret in Their Eyes) after a violent, faith-shaking experience in a jungle mission. Working closely with the more experienced and politically astute Julian in his bid to get a long-promised housing development back on track (the eponymous white elephant), Nicolas is exposed to the drug economy, gang wars, and to pretty social worker Luciana (director Trapero’s wife and muse, Martina Gusman).

This social and spiritual melodrama carries extra heft because of its palpable authenticity. Everything – even the abandoned, never finished hospital where the priests take up residence – is real, and no doubt that goes for the endemic corruption and exploitation depicted on screen too.

Legendary drummer Ginger Baker was as well known for his monstrous rock ’n’ roll behaviour as he was for his skin-pounding in supergroups Cream and Blind Faith. But the ‘world’s greatest drummer’ didn’t really hit his stride as a musician until 1972, when he travelled to Nigeria and discovered Fela Kuti’s Afrobeat. Setting up shop in Lagos, Baker built a recording studio, sat in on records recorded

by Kuti and became one of the first proponents of world music. After leaving Nigeria, Baker returned to his pattern of drug-induced self-destruction before settling in South Africa a little over a decade ago. The 73-year-old now lives in seclusion with his young bride and 39 polo ponies.

Director Jay Bulger spent three months living with the rock legend, resulting in a rollicking and frequently hilarious film, enhanced by interviews with Stewart Copeland, Charlie Watts, John Lydon, Neil Peart, Mickey Hart, Lars Ulrich and others who comment on Baker’s legacy and persona.

Set in a vividly-coloured 1958, Régis Roinsard’s debut feature follows Rose Pamphyle (the delightful Déborah François, in a role far removed from her debut in the Dardenne brothers’ L’enfant), a 21-year-old who seems destined for the humdrum life of a housewife until she signs up to be a secretary for charismatic insurance agency boss Louis Echard (Romain Duris). Although she’s disastrously ineffective around the office, she happens to be able to type at a devilish speed – a skill that inspires Echard to coach her for a speed-typing competition.

This charming romantic comedy between mentor and protégé is a throwback to the sights, sounds and rhythms of the cinema of Tashlin, Wilder and Losey, with Mad Men production design and an impeccably chosen soundtrack.

Sarah Gavron & David Katznelson • Denmark/UK/Greenland 2012 1h20m • DCP • Greenlandic with English subtitles 12A – Contains one use of strong language • Documentary

François Mauriac’s acclaimed novel of French provincial life has been gloriously brought to the screen by the inestimable Claude Miller, who passed away shortly after completing the film. Audrey Tautou stars as a provincial housewife in 1920s France, whose suffocating marriage inspires her to a fatal bid for freedom.

Once there were nine cybernetic heroes who had long fought for justice. But as their struggle finally restored peace, they eventually disappeared from the pages of history and from people’s memory.

Thérèse has married less for love than for convenience, and boorish landowner husband Bernard (Gilles Lellouche) is more interested in his dogs and the hunt than in attending to the wishes and needs of his young bride. When Thérèse’s best friend Anne (Anaïs Demoustier), who also happens to be Bernard’s younger sister, falls madly in love with a handsome young Portuguese man, Thérèse begins to see what she has been missing in her life. Corralled

by Bernard’s family into persuading Anne to forego her planned nuptials, she begins to see first-hand the awesome power of passionate love, as Anne will go to any length to keep her lover by her side. Soon, Thérèse begins her own fight against the oppressive Desqueyroux family.

Miller makes the novel fully his own, floating his camera through the refined and cushioned rooms of the family’s estate and the magnificent outdoor vistas of the Landes countryside, capturing all the nuances of this battle of wills. But, finally, the film belongs to Tautou, who conveys all the inflections of hurt and pain, love and sorrow, demanded of her.

2013: skyscrapers across the world are hit by suicide bombers with no apparent connection. The nine heroes gather once again after three decades to fight against this faceless menace. They appear untouched by time, but society around them has changed dramatically, as it has the very idea of ‘justice’ they used to believe in... What is their role in the world now?

Screening in both 2D and 3D versions.

Screening in association with Scotland Loves Animation.

British filmmaker Sarah Gavron’s first documentary was shot over the course of a year in Niaqornat, a remote village in Northern Greenland with more dogs than people.

The film focuses on four townsfolk from the tiny population of 59 – Lars, the only teenager; Karl, the huntsman who has never really acknowledged that Lars is his son; Ilanngauq, the outsider who moved to Niaqornat after meeting his wife online; and Annie, the elder who remembers the ways of the Shamen and a time when the lights were fuelled by seal blubber.

The economic and ecological future of the community is more fragile than its hardy inhabitants, and Gavron filters these bigger issues through her compelling observation of their everyday lives. Ravishing cinematography by David Katznelson establishes the icy location as the beautiful and unpredictable fifth ‘character’ in this astutely constructed real-life drama.

With Blue Valentine, Derek Cianfrance established himself as a director of intense emotion and unblinking intimacy.

In this, his highly anticipated follow-up, Cianfrance re-teams with his Blue Valentine star Ryan Gosling and delves even deeper into themes of male anxiety and suppressed violence. This haunting drama draws a portrait of contemporary masculinity that is detailed, epic and true.

Slyly echoing his seductive turn in Drive, Gosling plays Luke, a motorcycle stunt rider and habitual loner who works for a travelling carnival, roaming from town to town. After reuniting with his sometime girlfriend Romina (Eva Mendes), Luke discovers that he has fathered a son.

Determined to meet his responsibility but unable to support a family, Luke opts to start robbing banks. But on one heist he draws the pursuit of rookie cop Avery (Bradley Cooper). It proves a fateful confrontation.

In 1988, in an effort to extend and legitimise its rule, the Chilean military junta announced it would hold a plebiscite to get the people’s permission to stay in power.

Despite being given 15 minutes a day to plead its case on television, the anti-Pinochet opposition was divided and without a clear message. Enter Rene Saavedra (an excellent Gael García Bernal), an ad man who, after a career pushing soft drinks and soap, sets out to sell Chileans on democracy and freedom.

Winner of the top prize in this year’s Directors’ Fortnight in Cannes, No is little short of a miracle: shooting on Umatic video tape to give the film the look of the Eighties, Pablo Larraín (Tony Manero, Post Mortem) has created a smart, funny and totally engrossing political thriller with a powerful resonance for our times.

Is the foundation of the British welfare state a lost opportunity destroyed by Thatcherism, or a project still awaiting completion? Ken Loach seeks an answer in conversations with those who remember its beginnings.

The Labour Party’s surprising landslide election victory in the summer of 1945 gave it an absolute majority, and ushered in the nationalisation of key industries and many services such as mining, railways, gas, electricity, steel, the docks and the Bank of England. This was soon followed by the introduction of free health care in the shape of the National Health Service. In addition, people in need were guaranteed financial support through the National Assistance Act. This ‘New Socialism’ was informed by an exemplary sense of community and class consciousness which was to endure for decades. However, almost all of these achievements were to fall victim to reforms introduced by Margaret Thatcher, Prime Minister from 1979 to 1990.

“The film works all at once as a lament, a celebration and a wake-up call to modern politicians and voters.” - Time Out

Bob Rafelson • USA 1972 • 1h44m DCP • 15 – Contains strong violence Cast: Jack Nicholson, Bruce Dern, Ellen Burstyn, Julia Anne Robinson, Scatman Crothers.

Fri 7 to Thu 13 Jun

Journey to Italy has been hailed as one of the finest films ever made and is recognised as one of Rossellini’s most masterful works, though it was rather harshly treated on its initial release. The final film in a trilogy that began with Stromboli (1949) and Europa 51 (1952), it is a deceptively simple portrait of a marriage in crisis. Ingrid Bergman and George Sanders are a quiet English couple who travel to Naples seeking a buyer for a property that has been left to them by a relative. Separated from the social whirl and hectic days of their life in London, they are forced to confront a relationship that has crumbled into weariness, mistrust and mutual disdain.

Juxtaposing the emotional reserve of the unhappy couple with the beauty and vitality of their Italian surroundings, Journey to Italy is a film with little plot but a profound understanding of the human condition. The world-weary, self-loathing at the heart of George Sanders’ screen character has never been better used, and Ingrid Bergman is exceptional at conveying the emotional turmoil beneath her civilised veneer.

Screening in a beautiful new restoration.

In a film that captures all the sadness of an American dream gone wrong, Jason Staebler (Bruce Dern) concocts impossible get-rich-quick schemes. He involves his brother David (Jack Nicholson, reunited with director Bob Rafelson after their 1970 hit Five Easy Pieces, also screening this month) and girlfriend Sally (Ellen Burstyn) in his latest venture, to build a Hawaiian resort with embezzled money from his mobster boss.

“One of the most underrated films of the decade.” - Time Out

Five Easy Pieces Wed 5 & Thu 6 Jun Bob Rafelson • USA 1970 • 1h38m DCP • 15 – Contains moderate sex Cast: Jack Nicholson, Karen Black, Lois Smith, Susan Anspach.

Bob Rafelson’s superlative character study established Jack Nicholson, fresh from his success in Easy Rider the previous year, as the foremost actor of his generation. Nicholson plays Bobby Dupea, an upper-middle class dropout who now works as rigger in the California oil fields, spending his leisure time in bowling alleys and bars with his drinking buddies and his waitress girlfriend Rayette (Karen Black).

Upon discovering that his father has suffered a stroke, he takes a trip up North to visit his family.

Werner Herzog • West Germany 1972 • 1h35m DCP • German with English subtitles • PG Cast: Klaus Kinski, Helena Rojo, Del Negro, Ruy Guerra, Peter Berling.

Werner Herzog’s extraordinary drama, screening in a new restoration, stars regular Herzog collaborator Klaus Kinski as a Spanish conquistador who uses tyranny and his overinflated ego to lead an ill-fated trip down the Amazon in search of the fabled riches of El Dorado.

Features some of Herzog’s most complex and intricately staged camera set-ups, as well as authentic and treacherous on-location settings, and an astonishing performance from Kinski, who strips away the veneer of his fearless, entitled leader to reveal abject terror and an almost hallucinatory progression towards insanity.

“One of the great haunting visions of the cinema.” - Roger Ebert Another restored Herzog drama, The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser, will screen in July.

Fred C Newmeyer & Sam Taylor • USA 1923 • 1h10m DCP • Silent • U Cast: Harold Lloyd, Mildred Davis, Bill Strother, Noah Young, Westcott Clarke.

Stanley Kubrick • USA 1957 • 1h27m DCP • PG – Contains moderate war violence Cast: Kirk Douglas, Adolphe Menjou, Ralph Meeker, George Macready, Wayne Morris.

Stanley Kubrick • USA 1956 • 1h24m • DCP • PG Cast: Sterling Hayden, Coleen Gray, Vince Edwards, Jay C Flippen, Elisha Cook Jr.

Harold Lloyd’s most famous comedy has been fully restored and is back on the big screen in a new digital print with a score by composer Carl Davis.

Paths of Glory is a film that has lost none of its power since its release in 1957, when Kubrick was only 29. Set in the trenches of France’s Western Front during World War I, and based on a true incident, it remains one of the most moving film portrayals of the dirty, brutal and bloody side of war.

The Boy (Lloyd) leaves his sweetheart, The Girl (Mildred Davis, later the real-life Mrs Lloyd) in Great Bend while he pursues his fortune in a teeming metropolis. The Boy lands a job as a clerk at the fabric counter of DeVore’s, a huge department store, but he lies in his letters home to his beloved, pretending to be the store’s manager and spending his earnings on lavish gifts. The Boy’s roommate, The Pal (Bill Strother) makes money as a ‘human fly’, performing attention-getting stunts. Promised $1,000 by DeVore’s manager if he can devise a publicity gimmick, The Boy convinces his friend to climb the 12-story establishment and split the winnings with him. On the day of the event, however, The Pal is busy dodging The Law (Noah Young), forcing The Boy to make the arduous climb solo...

“The clock-hanging climax that caps this generally charming tale of a country boy out to make his fortune in the big city is a superb example of Lloyd’s ability to mix suspense and slapstick.” - Time Out

The story is simple, and shattering. A vain and ambitious French general, Mireau, is manipulated by his wily superior into a hopeless attack on an impregnable German position. When the attack inevitably fails, Mireau, hysterical, orders the entire regiment court-martialled and 100 men executed for cowardice. Only with difficulty is he persuaded to settle for three men, as an example. The attack’s heroic commander, Dax (Kirk Douglas), furious because his men are being scapegoated, volunteers as defence attorney for the court-martial, to battle against hopeless odds.

“Paths of Glory was the film by which Stanley Kubrick entered the ranks of great directors, never to leave them...

It has an economy of expression that is almost brutal; it is one of the few narrative films in which you sense the anger in the telling.” - Roger Ebert Screening in a new digital print.

Characteristically Kubrick in both its mechanistic coldness and its vision of human endeavour undone by greed and deceit, this noir-ish heist movie stars Sterling Hayden as the ex-con who gathers together a gallery of small-timers to rob a race-track; for once it’s not the robbery itself that goes wrong, but the aftermath.

What is remarkable about the film, besides the excellent performances and Lucien Ballard’s steely photography, is the time structure, employing a complex series of flashbacks both to introduce and explain characters and to create a synchronous view of simultaneous events.

“Even though he was just starting out, Kubrick instantly mastered the crime genre. A stunning film.” - Kim Newman, Empire Screening in a new digital print.

THE FLY

STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN

Come and See...

A monthly one-off screening of a great film we simply thought you might like to see, again or for the first time, on the big screen.

The Fly Thu 16 May at 8.15pm David Cronenberg • USA/UK/Canada 1986 • 1h31m • DCP • 18 Cast: Jeff Goldblum, Geena Davis, John Getz, Joy Boushel, David Cronenberg.

Considered fairly gruesome in its day, the original 1958 The Fly looks incredibly mild when compared to this 1986 remake. Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis star as Seth Brundle, a self-involved research scientist, and Veronica Quaife, a science magazine reporter. Inviting Veronica to his lab, Seth prepares to demonstrate his ‘telepod’, which can theoretically transfer matter through space. As they grow closer over the next few weeks, she inadvertently goads Seth into experimenting with human beings rather than inanimate objects. Seth himself enters the telepod, preparing to transmit himself through the ether – but he doesn’t know that he is sharing the device with a tiny housefly...

As a remake, The Fly transcends the original, taking it in new directions and exploring its underutilised potential.

Whereas the original degenerated into a campy fly hunt, the remake opts for a slow metamorphosis from man to fly that develops as a disease might. This gives Cronenberg time to examine the implications of such a process, meditating upon our fear of disease, death and change.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan Sun 16 Jun at 6.00pm Nicholas Meyer • USA 1982 • 1h53m • DCP 12A – Contains moderate horror and threat Cast: William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, Ricardo Montalban, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, George Takei.

The release of the latest Star Trek movie seemed like a good time to revisit one of the franchise’s very best. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is fondly regarded as being the closest in spirit to the TV series that spawned it. Admiral Kirk (William Shatner) escapes the tedium of a desk job to join Mr Spock (Leonard Nimoy) and Dr Leonard ‘Bones’ McCoy (DeForest Kelley) on another space mission. While boldly going where no man etc. etc., Kirk crosses the path of his old enemy Khan (Ricardo Montalban), who as any die-hard Trekker can tell you, was the chief antagonist in the 1966 Trek TV episode Space Seed. Leading a crew of near-savage space prisoners, Khan insinuates himself into the Genesis Project, which is designed to introduce living organisms on long-dead planets. Intending to harness this program for his own despotic purposes, Khan engages in battle with the Enterprise crew.

“The second Star Trek movie is swift, droll and adventurous, not to mention appealingly gadget-happy. It’s everything the first one should have been and wasn’t.” - The New York Times

Marlin’s journey leads him beyond the Great Barrier Reef into deeper and darker waters, where he meets Dory, a forgetful yet optimistic blue tang, and a number of not-so-friendly – and often very hungry – aquatic creatures. Meanwhile, little Nemo finds himself in a dentist’s fish tank in Sydney, Australia, along with other underwater captives, including Gill, the group’s leader.

Written in the midst of the McCarthy era as a thinly veiled attack on the Communist witch hunts in the US, Arthur Miller’s play has emerged as a timeless commentary on the evil that men (and women) do – especially in the name of righteousness and religion. Set in the Salem of 1692, the film finds Abigail Williams (Winona Ryder) triggering a mass hysteria in which accusations of witchcraft result in the execution of innocent people; among those targeted by the moral minority are farmer John Proctor (Daniel Day-Lewis) and his wife Elizabeth (Joan Allen). The lead performances are all impeccable, with Day-Lewis’ zesty rectitude contrasting smartly with Allen’s quiet goodness, which in turn strikes the right balance with Ryder’s unrepentant spite.

THERE WILL BE BLOOD

Gangs of New York

There Will Be Blood

Sun 12 May at 5.15pm

Sun 19 May at 5.15pm

Martin Scorsese • USA/Italy 2002 • 2h48m • 35mm 18 – Contains strong, bloody violence Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Daniel Day-Lewis, Cameron Diaz, Jim Broadbent, John C Reilly.

Paul Thomas Anderson • USA 2007 • 2h38m • 35mm 15 – Contains strong violence Cast: Daniel Day-Lewis, Paul Dano, Kevin J O’Connor, Ciaran Hinds, Dillon Freasier.

The violent rise of gangland power in New York City at a time of massive political corruption and the city’s evolution into a cultural melting pot set the stage for this lavish historical epic, which director Martin Scorsese finally brought to the screen almost 30 years after he first began to plan the project.

Day-Lewis won his second Oscar for his astonishing and terrifying portrayal of a turn-of-the-century California oil man, in Paul Thomas Anderson’s magnificently strange character study. When Daniel Plainview gets a mysterious tip-off that there’s a little town out West where an ocean of oil is oozing out of the ground, he heads there with his son, HW, to take their chances in dust-worn Little Boston.

In this hardscrabble town, where the main excitement centres around the Holy Roller church of charismatic preacher Eli Sunday, Plainview and HW make their lucky strike. But even as the well raises all of their fortunes, nothing will remain the same as conflicts escalate and every human value – love, hope, community, belief, ambition, and even the bond between father and son – is imperilled by corruption, deception, and the flow of oil.

In 1846, as waves of Irish immigrants poured into the New York neighbourhood of Five Points, citizens of British and Dutch heritage who were born in the United States began making an open display of their resentment toward the new arrivals. William Cutting (Daniel Day-Lewis), better known as ‘Bill the Butcher’ for his deadly skill with a knife, bands his fellow ‘Native Americans’ into a gang to take on the Irish immigrants; the immigrants in turn form a gang of their own, ‘The Dead Rabbits’, organised by Priest Vallon (Liam Neeson). After an especially bloody clash between the Natives and the Rabbits leaves Vallon dead, his son goes missing; the boy ends up in a brutal reform school before returning to the Five Points in 1862 as Amsterdam (Leonardo DiCaprio), bent on revenge.

Richard Fleischer

COMPULSION

Richard Fleischer Richard Fleischer directed some of the most distinctive and most enduring Hollywood classics over a career that spanned six decades and ranged from film noir to science fiction. His versatility, while enabling him to achieve commercial longevity, may also be a reason why Fleischer has been consistently underrated by critics and historians. Yet his films are in the best tradition of mainstream cinema with their deft interweaving of thrilling action and psychological complexity.

We are hopeful that these screenings will be introduced by Chris Fujiwara, Artistic Director of the Edinburgh International Film Festival, he’s a busy man though so please check www.filmhousecinema.com nearer the time for confirmation!

This retrospective is a collaboration with EIFF, with more Fleischer films screening during the Festival. The EIFF programme is released on 29 May. www.edfilmfest.org.uk

20000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA

FOLLOW ME QUIETLY

Compulsion

Follow Me Quietly

Thu 13 Jun at 6.00pm

Tue 18 Jun at 6.20pm

Richard Fleischer • USA 1959 • 1h43m • 35mm • 12A Cast: Orson Welles, Diane Varsi, Dean Stockwell, Bradford Dillman.

Richard Fleischer • USA 1949 • 1h • 35mm • PG Cast: William Lundigan, Dorothy Patrick, Jeff Corey, Nestor Paiva.

Continuing his series of films on real-life crime and punishment, Fleischer turns to the case of ‘thrill killers’ Leopold and Loeb, which galvanised public opinion in Chicago in the 1920s (and inspired Alfred Hitchcock’s Rope). Dean Stockwell and Bradford Dillman star as rich university students who, influenced by their misreading of Nietzsche, decide to play supermen and kill a young boy. One of Fleischer’s richest studies of criminal psychopathology, Compulsion also makes the most passionate plea against capital punishment on film, through the voice of Orson Welles as the fictionalised version of attorney Clarence Darrow.

The first of Fleischer’s serial-killer films (which also included Compulsion, The Boston Strangler, and 10 Rillington Place) is a taut and creepy B film noir from Fleischer’s period as a contract director for RKO. Assigned to track down a maniac known as ‘The Judge’, who kills only when it rains, police detective Harry Grant (William Lundigan) uses a faceless mannequin to help inspire him to get into the killer’s head.

“This is the film that, above all, increased my knowledge of the trade,” Fleischer later said. “With Follow Me Quietly, I learned how to organize a film, allowing me to make the pursuit at the gas refinery more complex.”

Richard Fleischer • USA 1954 • 2h7m • 35mm • U Cast: Kirk Douglas, James Mason, Paul Lukas, Peter Lorre.

Richard Fleischer • USA 1950 • 1h7m • 16mm • PG Cast: Charles McGraw, Adele Jergens, William Talman, Douglas Fowley, Steve Brodie.

Disney will soon take a second crack at Jules Verne’s masterpiece under the direction of David Fincher, but here is the studio’s classic original version, a landmark among film adventures and one of the most popular of Disney’s live-action films. Join a colourful cast aboard the Nautilus, a luxury submarine under the command of the megalomaniacal Captain Nemo (James Mason in an iconic performance). Among the highlights are a visit to an island of cannibals, a walk on the ocean floor, an attack by a giant squid, and Kirk Douglas singing ‘A Whale of a Tale’. The film won Oscars for art direction and special effects and remains endlessly worth revisiting.

This grim and relentless B heist film, a precursor to John Huston’s The Asphalt Jungle and Stanley Kubrick’s The Killing, shows Fleischer developing his mastery over plots in which diverse individuals become involved in a web of complex action. Psychopathic criminal mastermind Dave Purvis (William Talman) devises a seemingly foolproof plan to rob an armoured truck at Wrigley Stadium in Los Angeles. When things go inevitably wrong as a policeman is killed, the thieves fall out with one another and the dead cop’s vengeful partner (Charles McGraw) takes charge of the case. Fleischer: “Armored Car Robbery allowed me to perfect the style I wanted to use in my future films.”

The Vikings

Thu 4 Jul at 6.15pm

Sun 7 Jul at 6.00pm

Richard Fleischer • USA 1955 • 1h30m • DCP • PG Cast: Victor Mature, Richard Egan, Stephen McNally, Virginia Leith, Lee Marvin.

Richard Fleischer • USA 1958 • 1h56m • DCP • PG Cast: Kirk Douglas, Tony Curtis, Ernest Borgnine, Janet Leigh, James Donald.

One of Fleischer’s most brilliant films, a mix of melodrama and heist thriller, set in a small American city where three mysterious strangers (Lee Marvin, Stephen McNally, and J Carrol Naish) arrive to plot and execute a bank robbery.

With the aid of a physically perfect cast and Jack Cardiff ’s magnificent widescreen cinematography, Fleischer brings the 10th century to vivid life in this witty and eloquent action spectacle.

Sydney Boehm’s tight and elegant script interweaves the lives of several townspeople who become innocent bystanders, victims, or nemeses of the trio’s misdeeds, including an alcoholic war hero (Richard Egan), his unfaithful wife (Margaret Hayes), a peaceful Amish farmer (Ernest Borgnine), and a mine supervisor (Victor Mature) who has lost his young son’s respect. The whole cast is outstanding, and Fleischer uses CinemaScope to build continuously unfolding visual excitement.

Kirk Douglas stars as Einar, the son of Viking king Ragnar (Ernest Borgnine). Tony Curtis is a British slave who, unknown to all, is the illegitimate son of Ragnar. The two half-brothers become bitter enemies and rivals for a beautiful princess (Janet Leigh) but come together to protect their father’s kingdom. Maiming, mutilation and mayhem ensue. Fleischer: “During the shoot, by a strange alchemy, we were all possessed by the Viking spirit.”

“Breathtakingly beautiful… breaks new ground.” - The Huffington Post Intimate and stunningly filmed by director Kalyanee Mam (of the Oscar-winning Inside Job), A River Changes Course vividly captures the profound interdependence between Cambodian river, forest and farm peoples and the foods they harvest. While moments of great beauty, grace and humour shine through, Mam witnesses the growing effects of debt, international land grabs and urbanisation on the families’ means of survival and happiness, finally begging both filmmaker and audience to break the silence and speak out from behind the screen. A powerful reflection on the frontline impacts of our global food system, this mesmerising film deservingly walked away with a Grand Jury Prize at Sundance.

Grierson Award Nominee, London Film Festival 2012.

As horsemeat scandals urge us to ask who really benefits from the food market, this visually arresting 30,000-km journey starts to look for answers. The dreamlike story opens with a mother toiling in one of the biggest mines in Brazil and ends with a can of ravioli in a western supermarket. Along the way, the workers whose hands dig, raise and harvest each ingredient reveal their dreams and hopes, like the Danish pig farmer who loves his sows but longs for a girlfriend, and the tomato picker who wants to stay healthy to pay her daughter’s way through university.

Profound and visually explosive cinema, Canned Dreams opens the cupboard to ask: what is sustainable, healthy and fair?

Please note: contains detailed footage inside meat industries.

The Lay of the Land Followed by discussion touching on global food security and land rights, with guests including Humza Yousaf (Scotland’s Minister for International Development) and Judith Robertson (Head of Oxfam Scotland). Plus Take One Action Dialogues – see opposite.

Stealing Africa

“Blessed with a truly winning protagonist, this film will charm.” - The Hollywood Reporter In the bucolic English countryside, Stephen Hook runs the family dairy farm, Hook and Son, a lo-fi, raw-milk anomaly resisting hi-fi, high-consumption norms. Farming is a hard life and an even harder business, but Stephen and his family make it work by staying small and offering services like home delivery... And it’s not just a profession for Stephen: each cow has a name and is lovingly cared for, especially the farm’s resident ‘cover girl’, Ida. It becomes quite clear that Stephen’s unconventional and heartwarming friendship with his herd is what really enables the farm to survive. Mirroring his subject, director Andy Heathcote takes a gentle, genial, light-touch approach “all the more watchable because of it” (Screen International).

Christoffer Guldbrandsen • Denmark • 2012 • 58m HD-Cam • 12A • Documentary

Want to make your film experience even better?

Starbucks, Amazon, Google... Known brands accused of avoiding tax that could have benefited Britain. Map it onto Africa – where multinationals illicitly extract around $5 for every $1 given in aid – and the link between tax and global hunger is positively dystopian. Bringing this issue to life with arresting clarity, Stealing Africa contrasts the Swiss village overflowing with donations from copper giant Glencore, with Zambia, where Glencore’s mines disappear profit from a populace 80% unemployed and hungry.

You’ve asked Take One Action to create space for small audience conversations over a cuppa or a glass of wine after our screenings. In response, we’re launching Take One Action Dialogues – 60 minute facilitated conversations for up to 8 people, a chance to explore the issues raised by the films in a more relaxed and personal way immediately after panel discussions. It’s free, and the first drink is on us.

Investing against hunger 30 minute interval discussion with Chris Hegarty (Chair, If Campaign Scotland) and Fiona O’Donnell MP (International Development Select Committee).

Rhubaba Presents: John Smith: Early Shorts Mon 27 May at 6.20pm – Tickets £5 1h27m

A collection of shorts from the hugely influential filmmaker, John Smith. This programme gathers together his earliest films including The Girl Chewing Gum (1976) in which we encounter an overtly constructed narrative where even the pigeons find themselves directed.

Films screening: Associations (1975, 7 min), The Girl Chewing Gum (1976, 12 min), The Black Tower (1985-1987, 24 min), OM (1986, 4 min), Slow Glass (1988-1991, 40 min).

“Smith’s world is seen through a prism of humour, absurdity and easy-going but formally rich structures ... it is through Smith’s fundamental humanism pervaded by sadness that art comes to offer its restorative power, whilst always remaining grounded in the world as we experience it.”

(Michael O’Pray) This screening is in association with Rhubaba Gallery and Studios and coincides with their exhibition ‘It’s a Beautiful World’, running from 18 May - 2 June. The artists in the show and the films of John Smith share a contemplative and inquisitive sensibility, highlighting moments of mystery and joy found within their immediate surroundings. www.rhubaba.org

Fans of the present day series will enjoy seeing the antecedents of one of the Doctor’s deadliest foes, the Daleks, as well as the genesis of the character of the Doctor himself, played

by Cushing. There’s a host of classic British acting talent on display, as well as some early and ingenious special effects sequences.

This is a fantastic opportunity to see this cult British franchise on the big screen.

Scotland’s Favourite Tearjerker – Up Sun 19 May at 3.30pm 1h40m

Children’s Hospice Association Scotland has launched The 100% Project, which aims to start conversations about death, dying and bereavement in a life-affirming way. We all love a good tearjerker for its cathartic and life-affirming qualities, and earlier this year The 100% Project held a vote to select ‘Scotland’s Favourite Tearjerker’. A shortlist of weepies was revealed on Facebook and Twitter, voting took place and the winning film is Up!

Fresh, naturally

Thousands of vegetarian, organic, locally-sourced, seasonal, Fairtrade and free-from foods in-store & online

For those of you who have not seen the film already, Up is an animated comedy adventure about 78-year-old balloon salesman Carl, who, after his wife passes away, fulfils his lifelong dream of going on a great adventure. Carl ties thousands of balloons to his house and flies away to the wild and tropical lands of South America. During the flight, he discovers an unexpected stowaway in the shape of Russell, an overly optimistic 8-year-old Wilderness Explorer.

Degree Shows

EDINBURGH NAPIER UNIVERSITY

EDINBURGH COLLEGE - GRANTON CAMPUS

Degree Shows The cream of this year’s crop of work by film, television and animation students at Edinburgh’s colleges and universities.

Edinburgh Napier University Wed 22 May at 6.00pm 1h30m • 15

Life on this planet can be very trying at times. Suppose you are suddenly forced to share your flat with the most ‘far-out’ hippy. What if you book a holiday cottage and find out that you have to share it with another family. How do you come to terms with the death of an estranged father?

Getting on with people is never that easy. Suppose you had to describe this life on earth to inhabitants of another planet? What objects would you send on a journey into space? This compilation of short films from Edinburgh Napier undergraduate students may offer no profound answers, but it is certainly eclectic and entertaining.

TICKETDEALS Buy any three (or more) tickets for films in this season and get 15% off These offers are available online, in person and on the phone, on both full price and concession price tickets.

Tickets must all be bought at the same time.

EDINBURGH COLLEGE OF ART ANIMATION

Edinburgh College - Granton Campus

Edinburgh College of Art Animation

Wed 5 Jun at 6.00pm

Mon 17 Jun at 8.30pm

2h • 15

1h40m • 15

This HND Television showcase is the culmination of two years of hard work that started at Telford College and finished at Edinburgh College, Granton Campus.

With more students than ever before, and each student producing five individual works in their final year, competition for a place is fierce and expectations are high: so much so it was suggested we name the event the Fierce-high Show. In the end saner and more literal heads prevailed and after much soul-searching we’re going with the Filmhouse Show, which does have the merit of being geo-spatially specific.

A Bafta for best animated short is just the latest in a string of triumphs for what may be the most successful and innovative studio in Scotland – not studio in the conventional sense of the word, but then there’s nothing very conventional about the students and films emanating from the animation department at Edinburgh College of Art. As if to prove the point here’s this year’s graduation show in all its wayward glory. There are shadows on walls and some light S&M, an affair of the hart and a fisherman’s catch, a puddle to step in, a bath to splash in, an obsessive love and a dream that unravels, the demise of a laughing man, a Chinese myth, a box that meows and a street that will open your eyes... not to mention a few insights into the college’s long history, some of which may even be true.

Edinburgh College - Sighthill Campus Tue 11 Jun at 6.00pm 2h • PG

Filmhouse will ring to the sound of laughter, weeping and the occasional scream as the students at Edinburgh College’s Sighthill Campus strut their creative stuff.

Fuelled only by Krispy Kreme donuts and copious cappuccinos, they have worked tirelessly to produce, for your delectation, a range of offerings – from a lyrically poetic film ‘Titanic’, based on the Eduard Bersudsky kinetic sculpture, to an action-packed documentary about the Edinburgh Capital Ice Hockey team, and from thrills and spills to the delicate intricacies of Bhangra Dancing. All this, and the dubious pleasures of beer and zombies.

Edinburgh College of Art Film & TV Tue 18 Jun at 8.30pm 1h40m • 15

A vintage year from Edinburgh College of Art’s BA (Hons) and MFA2 courses in Film and Television. Fact and fantasy, drama and documentary. Come and see the next generation of filmmakers seizing control of the screen.

Zulu Love Letter/Mothers of Bedford/Making It Home

ZULU LOVE LETTER

SPECIALEVENT

Zulu Love Letter Thu 23 May at 8.15pm Ramadan Suleman • South Africa/France 2004 • 1h45m 35mm • English and Zulu with English subtitles • 15 Cast: Pamela Nomvete, Mpumi Malatsi, Connie Mfuku, Sophie Mgcina, Kurt Egelhof.

Johannesburg is in a state of euphoria two years after the first democratic elections, but Thandeka, a young black journalist, lives in fear of her country’s past. She is so troubled that she struggles to work, and her relationship with Mangi, her 13year-old profoundly deaf daughter, is suffering. Then Me’Tay, an elderly woman who lost her daughter in the struggle against apartheid, enters Thandeka’s life, and she is forced to confront the demons not only of her own past, but also of South Africa’s tragic history and its continuing efforts at reconciliation.

This award-winning South African psychological drama explores the emotional journey of two mothers searching for their daughters, and the suffering endured by them during and after the anti-apartheid struggle.

Zulu Love Letter is screening in conjunction with the launch of ‘Art and Trauma in Africa: Representations of Reconciliation in Music, Visual Arts, Literature and Film’, a collection of articles published by IB Tauris and edited by Lizelle Bisschoff and Stefanie Van de Peer, both previous directors of the Africa in Motion (AiM) Film Festival. The book grew out of the festival’s focus on issues of trauma and reconciliation in Africa in 2009.

MOTHERS OF BEDFORD

SPECIALEVENT

Making It Home Sun 16 Jun at 4.00pm 1h

The Refugee Survival Trust invites you to a screening of four short films, created by refugee and asylum seeking women from Maryhill (Glasgow) and local women from Pilton (Edinburgh) in response to poems about home and belonging.

This fascinating project has seen two very different groups of women build bridges of dialogue, awareness and understanding by exploring their individual stories and heritage. The resulting short films, based on the poems, will astonish you with their intensity, beauty and unexpectedness.

There will be a brief introduction to the project before the screenings, and the opportunity for discussion afterwards.

Produced in partnership with Media Co-op, Scottish Poetry Library, Maryhill Integration Network, Pilton Community Health ‘Women Supporting Women’ Project. Supported by the Scottish Refugee Council and funded by Creative Scotland.

This event is free but ticketed.

THE WOMEN ON THE 6TH FLOOR

Our new online viewing platform allows you to enjoy a selection of Filmhouse-curated films whenever suits you and wherever you are. Some films will screen at Filmhouse as well, some will only be available online. New films are being added all the time, but here’s a small selection of what’s currently available. www.filmhousecinema.com/player The Filmhouse Player is a pilot project, in collaboration with GFT and video-on-demand providers Distrify, supported by NESTA’s Digital R&D Fund, Scotland.

Rent-a-Cat Rentaneko Naoko Ogigami • Japan 2012 • 1h50m Japanese with English subtitles • 12A Cast: Mikako Ichikawa, Reiko Kusamura, Ken Mitsuishi, Maho Yamada, Kei Tanaka.

A hit with audiences at last year’s EIFF, this engaging comedy probes the loneliness beneath the decorous surface of contemporary Japan. Every day Sayoko pushes a cart along a river, renting out cats to lonely people in order to fill the empty spaces in their hearts. Somehow Sayoko herself, though she has no trouble attracting felines, has a hard time finding human love...

Writer-director Andrew Haigh’s account of an intense Friday-to-Sunday affair is a moving and intelligent romance. After a casual Friday night dinner with his straight friends, the semi-closeted Russell sets off for a gay club. Feeling that his life needs to be kick-started, he hooks up with Glen, a feisty, artsy type. The intended one night stand develops into something more, and the two continue on through the weekend, hanging out in bars, having sex, taking drugs and telling endless stories as they get to know each other better. But the end is already in sight, since Glen is about to leave for America.

The Women on the 6th Floor Les femmes du 6ème étage Philippe Le Guay • France 2010 • 1h46m French and Spanish with English subtitles 12A – Contains brief sexualised nudity Cast: Fabrice Luchini, Sandrine Kiberlain, Natalia Verbeke, Carmen Maura, Lola Dueñas.

In this splendid comedy from director Philippe Le Guay, stockbroker Jean-Louis Joubert (the marvellous Fabrice Luchini) lives a peaceful yet boring bourgeois existence with his socialite wife in 1960s Paris. But when a flock of exuberant Spanish maids moves into the sixth floor servants quarters, Jean-Louis’ world is turned upside down, particularly by beautiful Maria, whose irrepressible passion for life threatens to shake Jean-Louis from his staid foundation.
