2001: A Space Odyssey
Friday 1 - Wednesday 6 June Stanley Kubrick’s sublime science fiction masterpiece, scripted by both Kubrick and famed writer Arthur C Clarke, is regularly cited not only as one of the greatest pieces of science fiction, but also as one of the finest works of cinema ever made. Charting the birth and evolution of mankind, as well as our interactions with technology and extra-terrestrial life, this is a unique, beguiling and cerebral film that truly deserves to be seen on the big screen.

As a 17-year-old, misfit Dahmer (Ross Lynch) is awkward and nerdy, his erratic behavior unexpectedly attracting friends at school.

Adapted from a best-selling 2012 graphic memoir by Dahmer’s schoolmate John “Derf” Backderf, writer-director Marc Meyers’ innovative My Friend Dahmer is a disturbing portrait of a loner teenager in his senior year at high-school, and a small-town community unable to predict the atrocities to come.

McQueen
Friday 8 - Thursday 14 June McQueen celebrates the brilliant, unpredictable, designer Alexander McQueen - a radical figure of profound influence in the fashion industry. An exploration of McQueen’s personal and professional world, this documentary is both a dazzling visual album of his ground-breaking collections, and a moving portrayal of the mind behind them.

The Rape of Recy Taylor
L'amant Double
Friday 1 - Thursday 7 June Loosely based on the Joyce Carol Oates novel Lives of the Twins, François Ozon’s gleefully irreverent erotic thriller has distinct shades of Brian de Palma and Alfred Hitchcock. Chloé (Marion Vacth) falls in love with her psychoanalyst Paul (Jérémie Renier), but discovers there’s more to him than meets the eye. When the couple move into their new apartment, Chloe discovers a box containing clues to Paul’s past, including a passport bearing a different surname. Paul’s web of secrets is about to unravel.
Friday 1 - Thursday 7 June Recy Taylor, a 24-year-old black mother and sharecropper, was gang raped by six white boys in 1944 Alabama. Such an occurrence was common in Jim Crow South, and few women spoke up in fear for their lives. But Recy Taylor bravely identified her rapists, and the NAACP sent its chief rape investigator Rosa Parks, who rallied support and triggered an unprecedented outcry for justice. The Rape of Recy Taylor exposes a legacy of physical abuse of black women and reveals Rosa Parks’ intimate role in Recy Taylor’s story.

All the Wild Horses
Friday 8 - Thursday 14 June The Mongol Derby is the longest, toughest horse race in the world. Riders are expected to cover a thousand kilometres, stopping at twenty-five horse stations and selecting a new mount at each one. Ivo Marloh’s thrilling documentary follows an eclectic group of competitors, from an American firefighter to two Irish jump jockeys, as they pit themselves against a succession of wild horses. Some of them barely make it beyond the starting point as they face remote terrain, unpredictable weather, heatstroke and the threat from wolves in a stirring test of human and animal endurance. GFF18 Director Ivo Marloh, Ireland/Mongolia 2017, 1h30m, 15
This Is Congo
Friday 8 - Monday 11 June New York based photographer Daniel McCabe turns documentary filmmaker with this eye-opening insight into decades of violent conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The focus is on the rebel March 23 Movement and their opposition to President Joseph Kabila’s government. Complex issues are given a human perspective through interviews with four key individuals: National Army Colonel Kasongo, charismatic military leader Colonel Mamadou, tailor Hakiza Nyantabe, and Bibiane, aka Mama Romance, a dealer in illegal gem stones. Raw, compelling front line reportage. GFF18 Director Daniel McCabe, USA/DR Congo 2017, subtitles, 1h33m, 15

The Wild Boys
Les garçons sauvages Monday 11 - Thursday 14 June This intoxicating adventure is loosely inspired by William S. Burroughs’ apocalyptic novel of the same name from the early 1970s. Fantasy, eroticism, violence and mystery engulf a group of privileged teenage boys, cast away from the island of La Réunion for committing a sadistic crime. In a tricksy bit of casting, the boys are all played by women, which sets the tone for what is a decidedly weird film experience. Ferried to sea by a Dutch Captain, the boys ultimately end up on a supernatural island, where they undergo a mystical transformation. Director Bertrand Mandico Cast Anaël Snoek, Vimala Pons, Diane Rouxel, France 2017, 1h50m, subtitles, N/C 18+

Hereditary
Preview screenings: Thursday 14 June | Friday 15 - Thursday 28 June When Ellen, the matriarch of the Graham family, passes away, her daughter's family begin to unravel cryptic and increasingly terrifying secrets about their ancestry, and soon they find themselves trying to outrun the sinister fate they seem to have inherited. Writer-director Ari Aster’s debut feature unleashes a nightmare vision of a domestic breakdown, transforming a familial tragedy into something ominous and deeply disquieting, and pushing the horror genre into chilling new terrain with a portrait of heritage gone to hell. Director Ari Aster Cast Toni Colette, Gabriel Byrne, Alex Wolff, USA 2017, 2h6m, 18
Thoroughbreds
Tuesday 12 - Thursday 14 June Dubbed 'American Psycho meets Heathers', Thoroughbreds is a devilishly eye-catching feature debut from playwright Cory Finley. After years apart, teenagers Amanda (Olivia Cooke) and Lily (Anya Talyor-Joy) are reunited as Amanda’s mother tries to bring a positive influence into her troubled daughter’s life. The girls seem completely mismatched but quickly discover that they share similar views about the world and how to make it a better place. Disposing of Lily’s sleazy stepfather Mark (Paul Sparks) seems like a good idea – they just need someone to do the dirty deed. GFF18
Studio 54
Friday 15 - Monday 18 June Manhattan’s Studio 54 was the epicentre of ‘70s hedonism - a place that not only redefined the nightclub, but also came to symbolize an entire era. Its co-owners, Ian Schrager and Steve Rubell, two friends from Brooklyn, seemed to come out of nowhere to suddenly preside over a new kind of New York society. Now, 39 years after the velvet rope was first slung across the club’s hallowed threshold, this documentary places you inside the famed walls, and tells the fascinating true story behind the greatest club of all time.

CINEMASTERS: JANE CAMPION
Jane Campion has forged a career around the theme of women on the edge of societal norms, from her feature debut Sweetie in 1989 through to her lauded television series Top of the Lake. She became the first female director to win the Palme d’Or (for The Piano in 1993) and continues to blaze a trail as one of the most compelling filmmakers working today. Specially commissioned programme notes will be available.
The Piano
Friday 15 - Thursday 21 June Jane Campion’s multi Oscar-winning masterpiece is set in 1851: mute Ada (Holly Hunter) arrives in New Zealand, with her young daughter (Anna Paquin) and piano, for an arranged marriage to wealthy landowner Stewart (Sam Neill). When Stewart sells the prized piano to Baines (Harvey Keitel), Baines agrees to return it to Ada in exchange for lessons; lessons that become increasingly charged sexual encounters. A compelling love story complemented by an evocative score from Michael Nyman.

However all hopes of marital bliss are soon derailed amid the reappearance of Kay’s larger than life sister Dawn (Geneviève Lemon), nicknamed Sweetie. What unfolds is a wonderfully strange and compelling look at the toxic relationships and inner turmoil caused by an overbearing family member. Screening on 35mm.

Beautifully capturing the colour and power of the New Zealand landscape, the film earned Campion a sweep of her country’s film awards and the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival.

Campion presents the affair as a Romantic poem brought to life, moving from one extreme of emotion to another and centring on Fanny’s perspective, from blissful contentment to inconsolable grief. Bright Star features breath taking visuals shot by Greig Fraser and a moving central performance from Cornish.

The Ciambra A'Ciambra
Ismael's Ghosts
Les fantômes d’Ismaël Monday 18 & Tuesday 19 June Just before he is about to start shooting his new film, director Ismael (Mathieu Amalric) finds his life turned upside down by the reappearance of his wife Carlotta (Marion Cotillard), who vanished without trace 20 years ago. Carlotta’s presence brings confusion and chaos, throwing Ismael’s tentative new romance with Sylvia (Charlotte Gainsbourg) into question, and sending his life into a tailspin. Arnaud Desplechin’s hypnotic drama revels in multilayered storytelling, with the film Ismael is making providing a film-within-the-film that echoes his fragmenting reality.
Friday 15 - Thursday 21 June The outskirts of Gioia Tauro, a coastal town in the southern Italian region of Reggio Calabria is the setting for Jonas Carpignano’s second feature, the middle film of a planned trilogy which began with 2015’s Mediterranea. Romani teenager Pio (Pio Amato), one of the supporting characters in the first picture takes centre stage in a riveting coming-of-age story. Executive produced by Martin Scorsese, A’ Ciambra won Best Director and Best Editor awards at the 2018 David di Donatello (Italy’s equivalent of the Academy Awards).

That Summer
Tuesday 19 - Thursday 21 June Summer, 1972: photographer Peter Beard and Jackie O’s socialite sibling Lee Radziwill work together on a film about her relatives and the sisters’ childhood in the Hamptons. After the project was abandoned, Albert and David Maysles made The Beales of Grey Gardens. Lost for decades, this extraordinary footage, which focuses on a vibrant and profoundly influential creative community in Montauk (Long Island) in the 1970s – some shot by Andy Warhol - reemerges in Göran Olsson’s fascinating documentary. Olsson uses it as the heart of a hauntingly poignant portrait of the two women, and the many lives they touched. GFF18
Grey Gardens
Tuesday 19 - Thursday 21 June Meet Big and Little Edie Beale: mother and daughter, high-society dropouts, and reclusive cousins of Jackie Onassis. The eccentric duo manage to thrive together amid the decay and disorder of their East Hampton mansion, making for an eerily ramshackle echo of the American Camelot. An impossibly intimate portrait and widely considered to be a masterpiece of documentary filmmaking, Grey Gardens follows their compelling day-to-day lives, quickly became a cult classic, and established Little Edie as a fashion icon and philosopher queen.

The Happy Prince
Friday 22 - Thursday 28 June Rupert Everett’s directorial debut is a poignant dramatization of Oscar Wilde’s final years, and the ghosts that haunted him. In late 19th Century Paris, Wilde is out of prison but a pariah. He swings between grief and a determination to wrest whatever pleasure he can from the time he has left. His body ailing and heavy, his mind spinning, he survives by falling back on the flamboyant irony and brilliant wit that defined him. The Happy Prince is bolstered by a stellar supporting cast of British actors, including Colin Firth, Emily Watson and Colin Morgan. Director Rupert Everett Cast Rupert Everett, Colin Firth, Emily Watson, UK 2018, 1h45m, 15
Arcadia
Friday 22 - Thursday 28 June A provocative and poetic exploration of Britain’s relationship with its own land, Arcadia is crafted from BFI National Archive footage spanning 100 years. BAFTA-winner Paul Wright (For Those in Peril) weaves an intoxicating array of material together, following an unnamed protagonist from the future as she travels through metaphorical ‘seasons’; from spring’s romantic agricultural idyll to winter’s political turmoil, as nature reacts with violent storms. Set to a grand and expressive score from Adrian Utley (Portishead) and Will Gregory (Goldfrapp) and drawing on inspiration from The Wicker Man to Winstanley, Arcadia is a dense and elegiac essay of wonder, hope, horror and decay.

Time Trial
From Fri 29 June - see glasgowfilm.org for details Time Trial gives us an exhilarating and terrifying place in the race, providing an immersive experience as close to actually competing as you will ever see on film. Scottish cyclist David Millar, shrouded in darkness, declares an intention to rise again. This is a sensory ride through the thrill and hardship of professional cycling. We are hurtled off a hillside, details blurring like watercolours. The euphoria and the fatigue, the highs and the lows. It's as if it were ourselves struggling through the bumpy roads of France. David bluntly and fearlessly narrates his last season in the saddle, intimate and immediate, along with the intricate relationships of cyclist, road crew, fellow competitors, manic fans, and the media circus surrounding it all. Time Trial reveals how the human spirit is driven by forces deeper than success and glory. Director Finlay Pretsell, UK 2017, 1h22m, 18

It’s 1786 and King George III is the most powerful man in the world. But his behaviour is becoming increasingly erratic as he succumbs to fits of lunacy. With the King’s mind unravelling, ambitious politicians and the scheming Prince of Wales threaten to undermine the power of the Crown, and expose the fine line between a King and a man. Director Adam Penford, 3h20m approx., As Live: 12A
