Moon
Monday 10 July (18.00) Astronaut Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell) is nearing the end of his three-year tenure on lunar mining base. His only companion is GERTY (voiced by Kevin Spacey) – a robot charged with caring for Sam and the station. As Sam prepares to return home, he makes a startling discovery that will lead him to question the very nature of his existence. Duncan Jones places philosophy at the core of his intelligent science-fiction film, in the tradition of sci-fi classics Blade Runner, Solaris and 2001: A Space Odyssey. Screening on 35mm
Filmosophy
Some films, like philosophy itself, can challenge our preconceived view of ourselves and the world around us. This short season features four original and thought-provoking films that explore key philosophical issues, from abstract concepts such as knowledge and identity to everyday moral, social and political concerns. Join us and learn what film can contribute to philosophy, and how philosophy can contribute to our enjoyment and understanding of film. Each film will be preceded by a short introduction and followed by an accessible and informal post-screening discussion hosted by James Mooney, lecturer in film and philosophy (Centre for Open Learning, University of Edinburgh).
Proof
Monday 24 July (18.00) Martin (Hugo Weaving) is a blind photographer who uses his camera to attempt to establish that the world really is as others describe it to him.

Jocelyn Moorhouse’s poignant comedydrama explores the search for certainty and the importance of trust.

Director Michel Gondry invites us to consider the vital importance of our memories in making us who we are. Director Michel Gondry Cast Jim Carrey, Kate Winslet, Tom Wilkinson, USA 2004, 1h43m, 15

SEQUELS WE LOVE
In the average summer it’s not unusual to see sequels filling up the schedules in most cinemas, but finding a genuinely good one is a rare occasion to be celebrated. So we’ve picked four sequels from the last few decades that we love and are giving them another big screen outing.
CINEMASTERS: SOFIA COPPOLA
The first American woman to be nominated for the Best Director Oscar, Sofia Coppola emerged as a significant cinema stylist with her perfectly-formed debut The Virgin Suicides in 1999. Coppola’s singular ability to create tangible moods through visuals and music distinguishes all of her films, alongside an insider perspective on celebrity culture that seems attracted and amused in equal measure. We’re delighted to be showing three of Coppola’s films on 35mm. Specially commissioned programme notes will be available for this season. Book standard price tickets for 3 films and save £4.50 Book standard price tickets for 4 films and save £8. (Deal excludes La Traviata)
The Virgin Suicides
Saturday 8 (17.50) & Tuesday 11 July (20.45) Before Cannes 1999, Sofia Coppola was known only for being the daughter of Francis Ford Coppola. However, upon the premiere of The Virgin Suicides she quickly became one of America’s most interesting filmmakers, delicately exploring themes of identity, angst and awkwardness in young women with melancholy and balanced humour. One dreamy ‘70s summer, 13-year-old Cecilia commits suicide, and her four older sisters are placed in isolation by their parents, quarantined from social interaction – particularly with the opposite sex. A curious and compelling story with a fantastic soundtrack by French duo Air. Screening on 35mm. Director Sofia Coppola Cast Kirsten Dunst, Kathleen Turner, James Woods, USA 1999, 1h37m, 15
Lost in Translation
Saturday 15 (18.30) & Tuesday 18 July (18.30) Winner of an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay and three Golden Globes including Best Actor for Bill Murray, Sofia Coppola’s poignant drama about Americans abroad stars Murray as faded actor Bob Harris. He is in Tokyo to film an inane whisky advert, when he meets Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson), a lonely wife drifting apart from her photographer husband. These two lost souls find an unexpected and meaningful connection over a few days together. Coppola’s dreamlike mood, combined with Murray’s deadpan humour and the unique chemistry between the actors, make Lost in Translation a modern classic. Screening on 35mm. Director Sofia Coppola Cast Bill Murray, Scarlett Johansson, Giovanni Ribisi, USA/Japan 2003, 1h42m, 15

Marie Antoinette
Saturday 22 (18.05) & Tuesday 25 July (18.05) Sofia Coppola’s punk re-telling of the life of France’s doomed queen of excess revels in overblown pomp while gently satirizing ceremony. With its brilliantly anachronistic soundtrack and unique casting choices (Jason Schwartzman as Louis XVI, Marianne Faithfull as an Austrian Empress), it stands out as Coppola’s boldest and most daring film to date. Shot on location in The Palace of Versailles and centred on an enigmatic performance by Kirsten Dunst, Marie Antoinette is a sensory delight with a whip-smart sense of humour. Screening on 35mm Director Sofia Coppola Cast Kirsten Dunst, Jason Schwartzman, Rip Torn, USA/France/Japan 2006, 2h3m, 12A: contains moderate sex
The Bling Ring
Sat 29 July (15.00) & Tue 1 Aug (20.40) Based on the true story of a group of teenagers who robbed the homes of Hollywood A-listers, Sofia Coppola’s slyly observed The Bling Ring explores the popular addiction to celebrity culture. The group begin with a number of petty thefts and when there are no apparent repercussions, they quickly advance to high profile victims. Like in The Virgin Suicides, here Coppola presents young characters who are in many ways unreadable, but remain oddly fascinating, and honestly reflect the obsessive nature of modern culture. Director Sofia Coppola Cast Emma Watson, Israel Broussard, Katie Chang, USA 2013, 1h30m, 15
Sofia Coppola’s La Traviata Sunday 9 July (17.00) Acclaimed director Sofia Coppola and designer Valentino combine their talents to create an ambitious production of renowned opera La Traviata. Working with a world-class team, the duo’s production breathes spectacular new life into Giuseppe Verdi’s enduring story of tempestuous love and heartbreak. Coppola’s La Traviata has already become one of the most successful productions in the opera’s history, immediately selling out its 15-performance run in Rome. Now, this elegant spectacle is brought to the big screen from Teatro dell’Opera di Roma. Director Sofia Coppola, 2h40m, subtitles, U

Your Name Kimi no na wa
Sun 6 (14.15) & Wed 9 Aug (18.15) Makoto Shinkai’s award-winning and enchanting tale of a young couple united only in their dreams is an emotionally charged delight. Shinkai is considered by many to be ‘the next Hayao Miyazaki’, and this film, based on his own novel, goes some way to proving that, intertwining sci-fi, high-school romance and Japanese magical realism with a masterful touch. Thought provoking and enthralling, this mature work is Japan’s second-biggest homegrown box office hit (behind Miyazaki’s Spirited Away), and a must-see for any Japanese animation fan.

She can’t ask her mechanic father, who’s always busy with his work, but is desperate to find out: why are her dreams leading her at once closer to and further away from her family? Director Kenji Kamiyama Cast Mitsuki Tahakata, Yôsuke Eguchi, Rie Kugimiya, Japan 2016, 1h50m, CTBC

CLASSICS
The Graduate
Tuesday 4 July (18.00) - £5.50 tickets 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 neighbour. 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, 12A: moderate sex references, infrequent brief nudity
The Tree of Wooden Clogs L’albero degli zoccoli
Friday 14 – Sunday 16 July Winner of the Palme d’Or at Cannes in 1978, The Tree of Wooden Clogs is intimate in scale but epic in scope—a towering, heart-stirring work of humanist filmmaking. Ermanno Olmi’s masterpiece focuses on four families working on an isolated estate in the province of Bergamo. Filming on an abandoned farm for four months, Olmi adapted neorealist techniques to tell his story, enlisting local people to live as their own ancestors had, speaking in their native dialect on locations with which they were intimately familiar.

Prick Up Your Ears
Friday 18 – Sunday 20 August Successful playwright Joe Orton was a true English eccentric: a controversial provocateur who rose from a working class Leicester lad to the toast of swinging ‘60s London, before his promising future was violently cut short at the hands of his jealous long-term partner, Kenneth Halliwell. Gary Oldman oozes charm as Orton, delivering catty one-liners and scandalous sexual taunts from a screenplay by award-winning British playwright Alan Bennett ( The Lady in the Van). Prick Up Your Ears is an unflinching view of gay life in ‘60s London and a captivating portrait of an artist cut down in his prime. Director Stephen Frears Cast Gary Oldman, Alfred Molina, Vanessa Redgrave, UK 1987, 1h49m, 18
Calamity Jane Sing-a-long
Sun 6 (14.45) & Mon 7 Aug (18.15) Join us for another sing-a-long screening of this Oscar-winning classic, starring Doris Day as the titular gun-toting, whip-cracking Wild West whirlwind.

It’s not easy to capture the energy of a live concert on film. Very few films evoke the feeling of truly being there with your musical heroes. These films do just that, providing edge of your seat musical experiences that are the nearest you will get to the real thing.
Björk: Biophilia Live
Thursday 3 August (18.30) Biophilia, the eighth studio album by pioneering avant-garde Icelandic musician Björk, was part of a wider project unlike any other in modern music. Released on a series of apps, the project contained educational elements to be included in school curriculums, and culminated in a multi-dimensional concert at London’s Alexandra Palace, filmed by Nick Fenton and Peter Strickland (Berberian Sound Studio).

Dave Chappelle’s Block Party
Wattstax
Thursday 17 August (18.00) In the summer of 2004, renowned comedian Dave Chappelle threw a one-of-a-kind block party, inviting musicians such as Kanye West, Mos Def, Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, The Fugees and The Roots to perform.

Top Gun
Tuesday 4 July (20.30) Karaoke! Beach volleyball! Motorcycles! Aviators! Code names! Berlin! The Cruiser! No other film says USA is A-Okay quite like Top Gun. Tom Cruise is Maverick, a pilot with a chip on his shoulder and an ego that writes cheques that his body can’t cash. Maverick and his co-pilot Goose are sent to the U.S. Navy’s top flying school to test their skills against the best. Tom Skerritt plays the mentor and Val Kilmer is Iceman, a man so cool he has a toothpick in his mouth all the time. It all adds up to an archetypal vision of American masculinity. Director Tony Scott Cast Tom Cruise, Val Kilmer, Kelly McGillis, USA 1986, 1h50m, 12A: contains one use of strong language and moderate sex and sex references.
American History X
Thursday 6 July (18.00) Race divisions remain as pressing an issue in America today as they were when this tough but worthwhile drama was released almost 20 years ago. It centres on Derek Vinyard, formerly a violent neo-Nazi and leader of a group of L.A. white supremacists. Paroled after three years in prison for a racially-motivated murder, Derek severs ties with his gang and determines to prevent his younger brother Danny going down the same violent path. Edward Norton’s towering performance earned him an Oscar nomination and established him as a significant screen talent. Screening on 35mm.
American Psycho
Wednesday 5 July (20.30) Adapted from Brett Easton Ellis’s controversial novel, American Psycho is the ultimate critique of American ideals, narcissism and obsession. Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale) is a Wall Street executive who spends his days obsessing over his own image and competing against colleagues in relentless one-upmanship. He contains his inner psychosis with emotionless pleasantry, whilst narrating his disgust of other human beings. Killing homeless people and prostitutes comes easily to Bateman. But can he maintain this mask of sanity? Is anything real in the mind of Patrick Bateman? A disturbing and enthralling piece of filmmaking from director Mary Harron. Screening on 35mm.

Wednesday 19 July (18.05) Inspired by a walk from Essex to St Leonards-on-Sea, the latest film from Andrew Kötting (Gallivant, By Our Selves) documents a pilgrimage in memory of Edith Swan-Neck. Edith was King Harold’s common-law wife, and a remarkable sculpture can be seen of the tragically fated paramours on the seafront in St Leonards. Edith Walks imaginatively re-connects the lovers after 950 years of separation. Super 8 footage of the pilgrimage is blended with archive material from Screen Archive South East, of school group re-enactments of the Battle of Stamford Bridge and the Battle of Hastings. This screening will be preceded by Kötting’s film Forgotten the Queen (2017, 12m) and followed by a Q&A with the director. Director Andrew Kötting Cast Iain Sinclair, Claudia Barton, Jem Finer, UK 2017, 1h, PG
LUX Scotland presents: The future, in a choral style
Sunday 30 July (19.45) What does it mean to sustain yourself as an artist? How is a creative practice sustained over time? This event presents a selection of artists’ moving image and sound that explores the cinema as a potent space for reflection on the life lived before, after and outside the artwork. Selected works spill over into the life of the artist, slowly evolving into or emerging from the conditions of subsistence to which everyone is subject, rendering them explicit or making them material. The future, in a choral style is curated by Nick Thomas. Director various, UK 2017, 1h30m, N/C 15+
Transit Arts presents:
Uncanny Loop
Sunday 27 August (19.30) Uncanny Loop connects the contemporary urban experience with the Gothic mode and historical conceptions of ‘the uncanny’. An anthology of spaces shaped by evolving economic forces, this programme of artists’ moving image proposes a reinterpretation of the haunted house as something much closer to home. The films describe a reconstituted form of eeriness embedded within our metropolitan sites of work and leisure that offer security, individualism, and hermetic living. This screening programme is curated by Marcus Jack for Transit Arts. Director various, UK 1969 – 2017, 1h40m, N/C 15+

The Search for Weng Weng
Saturday 5 August (20.10) Australian video store owner-turned-guerrilla filmmaker Andrew Leavold stumbled across a dubbed copy of B-movie For Your Height Only, featuring a 3-foot tall James Bond–type character, played by Filipino actor Weng Weng. This hugely entertaining documentary follows Leovold’s ensuing two-decade obsession with Weng Weng, as he travels to Manila to try and track down the elusive former novelty star. Comprising of interviews with filmmakers and footage of Leovold’s adventures, The Search for Weng Weng is a surprisingly moving exploration of the life and career of the obscure actor. This screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Andrew Leavold.
Britain on Film: Coast and Sea
Sunday 13 August (15.00) This archive footage programme from Independent Cinema Office is a lush travelogue around the British coast filmed throughout the 20th century. Take a nostalgic stroll to classic British holiday resorts, a visit to Butlin’s in Brighton and 1930s surfing in Newquay, and explore the world of shipbuilding with the construction of the SS Olympic in 1910. Learn about lifeboats via the RNLI’s brisk, engaging promotional film; discover the private life of seabirds in Julian Huxley’s pioneering, Oscarwinning short film The Private Life of the Gannets (1934) and much more.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
The Untamed
Friday 18 August (23.00) On 18 August 1973, Sally and Franklin Hardesty travelled with three of their friends to visit their grandfather’s grave. Reports state that after picking up a strange hitchhiker, the group diverted and ended up at the family home of a group of bizarre outcasts. It is unknown whether the family was provoked, but further investigations indicate that a member of the household used a certain power tool in order to ensure that the young visitors did not make it to their final destination.
Monday 21 – Thursday 24 August Earning comparisons with Under the Skin, Amat Escalante’s brooding, hypnotic curio offers a heady mixture of science fiction, sexual obsession, self-destruction and social commentary. Alejandra feels trapped in a violent, loveless marriage to the suffocatingly macho Angel. Her brother Fabian has his own relationship problems. A solution arrives in the shape of the mysterious Veronica, who offers them a close encounter with something that is not of this world - something that has the capacity for pleasure or pain. GFF17
