Dispossession: The Great Social Housing Swindle

Saturday 24 June (18.00) For some people, a housing crisis means not getting planning permission for a loft conversion. For others it means, quite simply, losing their home. In this new documentary, narrated by Maxine Peak, we see the catastrophic failures that have led to a chronic shortage of social housing in Britain. Focusing on the neglect, demolition and regeneration of council estates in Glasgow, London and across the UK, the film investigates how the state works with the private sector to demolish council estates to build on the land they stand on, making properties that are unaffordable to the majority of people. This screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Paul Sng, Lisa McKenzie and some of the other subjects featured in the film. Director Paul Sng, UK 2017, 1h22m, N/C 12+

Join us and learn what film can contribute to philosophy, and how philosophy can contribute to our enjoyment and understanding of film. Films included are: Moon (Jones, 2009), Proof (Moorhouse, 1991), Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (Gondry, 2004), Dogtooth (Lanthimos, 2009) Each film will be preceded by a short introduction and followed by an informal post-screening discussion hosted by James Mooney, lecturer in film and philosophy (Centre for Open Learning, University of Edinburgh).

T2 Trainspotting

Friday 2 & Saturday 3 June | Double Bill: Sunday 4 June (17.15) GFT’s biggest box office hit of the year so far is back for another limited run. Renton, Begbie, Spud and Sick Boy return in Danny Boyle’s follow-up to his generation-defining 1996 film Trainspotting. Twenty years have gone by since Mark Renton left, but now he returns to the only place he can ever call home. Reuniting many of the original cast and creative team, including award-winning screenwriter John Hodge, T2 is loosely based on an Irvine Welsh’s follow-up novel Porno. Don’t miss a unique opportunity to catch the whole Trainspotting story (so far) with our Trainspotting/T2 Trainspotting Double Bill on Sunday 4 June (17.15) Director Danny Boyle Cast Ewan McGregor, Jonny Lee Miller, Robert Carlyle, Ewen Bremner, UK 2017, 1h57m, 18

Hidden Figures

20th Century Women

Monday 5 – Thursday 8 June NASA is determined to send an astronaut on a trip around the Earth before Russia beats them to it. As the space agency becomes increasingly more desperate, three big brains are drafted in to help. The problem? It’s 1962, they’re women and they’re black. This Oscar-nominated film tells the story of the three brilliant African-American women responsible for the calculations that launched John Glenn into space. To do it, they had to overcome embedded racism and sexism at every turn. A stunning tale of unsung heroes who dared to battle against the obstacles in their way.

Monday 5 – Thursday 8 June Set in California at the end of the ‘70s, Mike Mills’ (Beginners) latest film follows Dorothea, a determined, mid-50s single mother who is raising her adolescent son Jamie in a time of great cultural change. Dorothea’s lodgers, free-spirited photographer Abbie and lost mechanic William provide two very different role models, whilst 17-year old family friend Julie becomes the object of Jamie’s affections. Filled with captivating performances, and offering a depiction of single-motherhood that is both challenging and heartwarming, 20th Century Women remains one of the best films of 2017 so far.

Director Theodore Melfi Cast Taraji P Henson, Octavia Spencer, Janelle Monáe, USA 2016, 2h7m, PG

Director Mike Mills Cast Annette Benning, Greta Gerwig, Elle Fanning, USA 2017, 1h56m, 15

DID YOU MISS?

The Handmaiden Friday 23 - Thursday 29 June Inspired by Sarah Waters’ best-selling novel ‘Fingersmith’, the latest film from visionary director Park Chan-wook (Oldboy, Thirst, Stoker) is a ravishing, epic and sensual rollercoaster ride. 1930s Korea, in the period of Japanese occupation: a new girl, Sookee is hired as a handmaiden to a Japanese heiress, Hideko who lives a secluded life on a large countryside estate with her domineering Uncle Kouzuki. But the maid has a secret. Nothing is what it seems in this twisting, thrilling and intricate drama. Specially commissioned programme notes are available from glasgowfilm.org Director Park Chan-wook Cast Min-hee Kim, Jung-woo Ha, Jin-woong Jo, South Korea 2016, subtitles, 2h25m, 18

I Am Not Your Negro

Friday 2 (18.00) & Saturday 3 June (14.30) Fifty years after the Civil Rights movement, race remains a defining issue in America. James Baldwin’s final book ‘Remember This House’ was due to address the lives and assassinations of his friends Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. The unfinished manuscript has been entrusted to director Raoul Peck who uses Baldwin’s powerful words, narrated by Samuel L Jackson, along with a wealth of archive footage to reflect on the legacy of these men and contrast with the present day killings of young African-Americans. The result is a vital, award-winning exploration of what it means to be black in America. GFF17 Specially commissioned programme notes are available from glasgowfilm.org

Whisky Galore

Saturday 3 (15.20) & Monday 5 June (17.50) In the midst of wartime rationing, the residents of the Island of Todday are gripped by a whisky drought. When an 8,000 ton cargo ship carrying cases of their beloved amber nectar runs aground, the islanders seize the opportunity to plunder the stranded vessel and hide their valuable loot from the home guard. Famously adapted into a much-loved Ealing comedy in 1949, this new adaptation of Compton McKenzie’s novel (based on actual events) features a stellar British cast, including Eddie Izzard, James Cosmo, Ellie Kendrick and Kevin Guthrie.

CINEMASTERS: AKI KAURISMÄKI

One of the most recognised names in Finnish cinema, Aki Kaurismäki has been building a formidable body of work since his emergence in the early 1980s. Forever fascinated by the little people who find themselves crushed by larger social and economic systems, his bleakly comic films manage to be uniquely deadpan, full of heart, and firm favourites of GFT (Le Havre was selected as the closing film for Glasgow Film Festival 2012).

Ariel

Mon 5 (18.05) & Wed 7 June (15.15) Kaurismäki’s fifth film is often seen as the title that thrust the director into the international film spotlight, and offers a perfect introduction to his particular vision. A drolly existential crime drama that loosely mirrors a 1940s B-movie, the story follows the bad luck of Finnish miner Taisto. After his father commits suicide, he moves to the big city and promptly ends up on skid row. Only a minor-key romance with dispassionate meter maid Irmeli offers a light at the end of the tunnel in this coolly amusing tale. Preceded by Kaurismäki’s short film Thru the Wire (1987, 6m). Director Aki Kaurismäki Cast Turo Pajala, Susanna Haavisto, Matti Pellonpää, Finland 1988, 1h13m, subtitles, 15

Leningrad Cowboys Go America

Mon 12 (18.40) & Wed 14 June (16.00) During a conversation in a bar, Kaurismäki invented a fictional band called Leningrad Cowboys, a joke on the waning power of the Soviet Union. In their feature debut, the pompadour-haired group travel to America to chase their dream of musical stardom, adapting their style to suit whatever location they arrive in. A hilariously unique farce, Leningrad Cowboys Go America was such a sensation that it spawned two sequels and the fictional band began playing real-life shows to a huge cult following. Preceded by Kaurismäki’s short film Rocky VI (1986, 9m). Director Aki Kaurismäki Cast Turo Pajala, Susanna Haavisto, Matti Pellonpää, Finland 1988, 1h13m, subtitles, 15

The Match Factory Girl Tulitikkutehtaan tyttö

Mon 19 (18.30) & Wed 21 June (16.00) Iris works a dead-end job in a match factory supporting her forbidding mother and step-father in their small two-bedroom apartment. A glimmer of hope appears when she meets a man in a local dance club, whom she desperately falls for. However as with everything in Iris’ life, things are not so easy, and soon Iris is pushed over the edge. One of Kaurismäki’s bleakest tales, The Match Factory Girl also remains one of his most poignant and sympathetic, showcasing his penchant for entertaining yet despondent comic irony. Preceded by Kaurismäki’s short film Those Were the Days (1992, 5m). Director Aki Kaurismäki Cast Kati Outinen, Elina Salo, Esko Nikkari, Finland 1990, 1h8m, subtitles, 15

Drifting Clouds

Kauas pilvet karkaavat

The Man Without a Past Mies vailla menneisyyttä

Mon 26 (20.20) & Wed 28 June (15.00) Released in 1998, Drifting Clouds continues Kaurismäki’s sardonic yet sympathetic look at ordinary people who simply want to survive in the face of huge social and economic turmoil. Following the dwindling fortunes of restaurant hostess Ilona and her tram driver husband Lauri, who both find themselves unemployed at the same time in recession-hit Helsinki, this film is a comic tragedy that manages to transform the pair’s unlucky plight into a hugely affecting story of hope. Preceded by Kaurismäki’s short film These Boots (1993, 5m).

Mon 3 (20.30) & Wed 5 July (15.30) An unnamed man arrives by train in Helsinki and is swiftly mugged, left unconscious with complete amnesia. Hopeless, the man joins a community of homeless folk living on the outskirts of town. When he falls for the Salvation Army lady, the nameless man slowly begins to get his life back on track. Nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 2003 Academy Awards, this film was another huge step in making Kaurismäki the recognised CineMaster he is today. Preceded by Kaurismäki’s short film Dogs Have No Hell (2002, 12m).

Monday 10 (20.30) & Wednesday 12 July (15.30) The first in an envisioned trilogy of films about port cities (followed by The Other Side of Hope, p11), Kaurismäki’s 2011 comedy-drama tells the story of a shoeshiner who saves an immigrant child in the port city of Le Havre. When the police discover a group of illegal African immigrants inside a freight destined for London, they apprehend all of them apart from the young teen Idrissa, who manages to escape and is taken in by Marcel Marx, a former writer who is caring for his sickly wife. Once Marx discovers Idrissa’s story, he teams up with his friendly neighbours to hide the boy from the police and help him reach his original destination. Preceded by Kaurismäki’s short film Valimo (2007, 4m). Director Aki Kaurismäki Cast André Wilms, Blondin Miguel, Jean-Pierre Darroussin, Finland 2011, 1h33m, subtitles, PG

CROSSING THE LINE

Crossing the Line: Burden

Sunday 25 June (19.40) A probing portrait of Chris Burden, an artist who pushed the limits of creative expression and risked his life in the name of art. His pioneering and often dangerous performance works of the 1970s earned Burden a place in the art history books while still in his early 20s.

Now, having followed Burden creating new works in his studio and with access to his personal archive of images, video and audio recordings, this new documentary fully explores the life and work of this seminal artist.

DAPHNE DU MAURIER: THE HAUNTED LENS

Daphne du Maurier’s novels and short stories, with their macabre themes and tightly structured plots, have provided a rich seam of inspiration for filmmakers ever since Alfred Hitchcock made Jamaica Inn in 1939. Since then du Maurier has been credited on over 50 film and television works, including this month’s new release My Cousin Rachel. Here we present an opportunity to discover, or revisit on the big screen, four of the very best.

My Cousin Rachel (1952)

Sunday 4 (14.30) & Tuesday 6 June (18.00) Marking both Olivia de Havilland’s return to film after a string of theatre roles, and Richard Burton’s first starring role in an American production, the original adaptation of My Cousin Rachel was something of a movie event in 1952. Nominated for four Oscars, including for Burton’s performance and for Joseph LaShelle’s moody black and white cinematography, it is a gothic romance set dramatically against the blasted Cornish coast. Watch the film and discover, as the original trailer put it, “was she woman or witch, madonna or murderess?” Director Henry Koster Cast Olivia de Havilland, Richard Burton, Audrey Dalton, USA 1952, 1h38m, PG

Rebecca

Sunday 11 (14.00) & Tuesday 13 June (17.35) Rebecca was Hitchcock’s first American project and one of three du Maurier adaptations he filmed (The Birds is also screening this month). Starring Laurence Olivier as the brooding widower Maxim de Winter and Joan Fontaine as his naïve new wife, the 1940 film won two Academy Awards (including Best Picture) and was nominated for nine more. The self-conscious new Mrs de Winter is haunted by the memory of her predecessor, tormented by menacing housekeeper Mrs Danvers (the unforgettable Judith Anderson) and soon uncovers the shocking secret of what really happened to the mysterious Rebecca. Director Alfred Hitchcock Cast Laurence Olivier, Joan Fontaine, George Sanders, USA 1940, 2h10m, PG

The Birds

Sun 18 (19.35) & Wed 21 June (20.20) Loosely based on the 1952 du Maurier novelette, Hitchcock’s 49th film is one of his most enduringly strange and expertly constructed. Wealthy San Francisco socialite Melanie (Tippi Hedren) follows love interest lawyer Mitch (Rod Taylor) to a small Northern California town to play out a practical joke. Soon after her arrival, a seagull attacks her. The situation in the sleepy town slowly takes a turn for the bizarre before a terrifying climax, as birds of all kinds inexplicably begin to attack in a frenzied phenomenon. Director Alfred Hitchcock Cast Tippi Hedren, Rod Taylor, Jessica Tandy, USA 1963, 2h, 15

Alive and Kicking

Thursday 8 June (20.15) Happiness really is just a few steps away if you buy into what the characters in this documentary are all about – Swing Dancing. Discover the camaraderie and skills of this worldwide community as these true enthusiasts describe what compels them dance, and why harking back to the music and moves of the past is becoming more and more popular today. This inspiring doc features footage of the legendary Frankie Manning (Hellzapoppin’, 1941). Whatever type of dancing you’re into, your feet will be tapping along… This screening will be followed by the opportunity to try out a few of your own moves, in jazz-era Cinema 1. Presented in association with the Glasgow Jitterbugs.

Don’t Look Now

Sun 25 (13.45) & Tue 27 June (20.15) Famed for a controversial sex scene that was explicit for its time, Nicolas Roeg’s psychological horror Don’t Look Now was adapted from du Maurier’s occult-themed short story. John (Donald Sutherland) and his wife Laura (Julie Christie) take a trip to Venice shortly after a traumatizing incident at their home resulting in the death of their young daughter. Roeg’s trademark visual style and innovative editing create an uncanny, doom-laden mood that is equally bewitching and terrifying, in this unique cinema classic. Director Nicolas Roeg Cast Julie Christie, Donald Sutherland, Hilary Mason, UK/Italy 1973, 1h50m, 15

Once Upon a Time in the West C’era una volta il West

Sunday 18 June (13.30) Treat your dad to a special screening of the greatest western in all cinema this Father’s Day. Sergio Leone’s monumental tale of the changing West, centring on widowed landowner Jill McBain (Claudia Cardinale) and the three men who want a piece of her, is epic, iconic, and giddily cinematic. Henry Fonda and Charles Bronson are the very image of the dueling West, while Jason Robards transforms before our eyes from a self-interested mercenary into the film’s moral centre. Ennio Morricone’s stunning score is the icing on the cake; this is movie perfection. Director Sergio Leone Cast Claudia Cardinale, Henry Fonda, Jason Robards, Italy/USA 1968, 2h45m, 15

La Strada

Friday 9 - Sunday 11 June Winner of the first Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 1957, Federico Fellini’s heartbreaking tale of broken outsiders has lost none of its power to move audiences. Innocent young Gelsomina (Giulietta Masina) is sold by her poverty-stricken mother to brutish travelling strongman Zampanò (Anthony Quinn), to assist him as a street performer. Despite enduring terrible abuse from Zampanò, Gelsomina stays with him, seeking purpose for her life and, perhaps, some consolation in her art. Fellini creates enduring beauty from a truly tragic tale, and Masina’s face is an unforgettable icon of cinema. Digital Restoration Director Federico Fellini Cast Giulietta Masina, Anthony Quinn, Richard Basehart, Italy 1954, 1h48m, PG

Destiny Der müde Tod

Monday 12 – Thursday 15 June In this influential early work from Fritz Lang, a young woman confronts Death in an effort to save the life of her fiancé. Death weaves three romantic tragedies and offers to unite the girl with her lover, if she can prevent the death of the lovers in at least one of the episodes. Thus begin three exotic scenarios of ill-fated love, in which the woman must somehow reverse the course of destiny. Destiny marked a bold step for Lang, away from conventional melodrama and into the kind of filmmaking that would culminate in such stylized works as Die Nibelungen and Metropolis. Digital Restoration with new score from Cornelius Schwehr.

Metropolis

Wednesday 28 June (19.45) The new release of Destiny is all the excuse we need to bring back the exquisite 2010 restoration of Lang’s defining masterpiece Metropolis for a one-off screening in Cinema 1. Made in 1927, set in the year 2000, the film envisaged a dystopian future with images and characters that became iconic and continue to be influential across film, music and popular culture in general. This assembly is considered the definitive cut as Lang intended, thanks to the discovery of long-lost footage. A must-see for anyone who loves cinema. Director Fritz Lang Cast Gustav Fröhlich, Alfred Abel, Brigitte Helm, Germany 1927, 2h30m, PG

The Graduate

Sunday 2 (19.15) & Tuesday 4 July (18.00) No film has ever captured the spirit of post-graduation malaise quite like Mike Nichols’ landmark 1967 hit. A revelatory Dustin Hoffman made the leap to stardom in the lead role of Ben Braddock, a mentally adrift middle-class graduate who starts an affair with an icy older neighbor. However what begins as a fun tryst becomes a nightmare for Ben when he falls for her daughter. A stunning satire of suffocating middle-class shallowness that was key to ushering in a new dawn of American filmmaking, mixing a firmly anti-Hollywood style with hints of the French New Wave. 50th Anniversary Digital Restoration Director Mike Nichols Cast Dustin Hoffman, Anne Bancroft, Katharine Ross, USA 1967, 1h45m, 15

Phase IV

Jaws

Monday 12 - Thursday 15 June One of the most iconic and influential designers of the 21st century, Saul Bass is best known for his unique work for Alfred Hitchcock, coming up with immortal title sequences for North by Northwest, Vertigo and Psycho. His sole feature film is a warning about mankind’s treatment of the species we share this planet with; a terrifying glimpse of nature run amok that holds true today. After a mysterious cosmic event, strange structures and patterns appear in the desert, and slowly scientists learn that these are the work of super-intelligent ants – who are unhappy with the way they have been treated by humans.

Friday 23 (23.00) & Sunday 25 June (19.15) Duh duh. Duh duh.
