The Connection La French Friday 29 May – Thursday 11 June

GFT favourite and Oscar-winning star of The Artist Jean Dujardin is the charismatic magistrate at the centre of this beautifully-styled true crime epic. It’s no accident that the title evokes William Friedkin’s genre standard The French Connection: this is the gallic flipside, with Dujardin’s Pierre Michel doggedly pursuing Gatean ‘Tany’ Zampa (Gilles Lellouche), a key exporter of heroin to the US. Prepare for shoot-outs, drug busts, roadside assassinations and perfect period details in a thrilling homage to classic American 70s crime cinema. Director Cédric Jimenez Cast Jean Dujardin, Gilles Lellouche, Céline Sallette, France/Belgium 2014, 2h15m, subtitles, 15

The New Girlfriend Screening until Thursday 4 June

François Ozon has taught us to expect the unexpected, and doesn’t disappoint with his latest subversive exploration of love, desire, gender and sexuality. Claire is devastated by the death of her closest friend and finds herself struggling with problems in her marriage. Determined to make good on a deathbed promise to watch over her friend’s widower David (Romain Duris) and newborn baby, Claire travels to their suburban home, only to discover a big surprise that will change both their lives. Director François Ozon Cast Anaïs Demoustier, Romain Duris, Raphaël Personnaz, France 2014, 1h47m, subtitles, 15

@glasgowfilm

A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night Screening until Thursday 4 June

In the fictitious Iranian ghost town of Bad City, a lonely, hijab-wearing female vampire stalks the streets by night. Arash is desperate to leave town, but feels responsible for his dying junkie father. When he meets the enigmatic Girl, it is the beginning of a beautiful love story. Filmed in lustrous monochrome, Amirpour brings a fatalistic, feminist perspective to this stylish exercise in genre subversion. Programme notes are available in the cinema and online at www.glasgowfilm.org Director Ana Lily Amirpour Cast Sheila Vand, Arash Marandi, Marshall Manesh, USA 2014, 1h41m, subtitles, 15

Timbuktu

Friday 29 May – Thursday 4 June The latest film from Malian master Abderrahmane Sissako recounts the brief occupation of Timbuktu by militant Islamic rebels. When the multicultural city is invaded by jihadists, the local imam calmly argues against their narrow, ultra-orthodox dogma, but he has little influence over the rag-tag bunch of religious intruders. Beautifully filmed and directed with remarkable control and restraint, Timbuktu confirms Sissako’s status as one the true humanists of contemporary cinema. It is a stunningly realized condemnation of intolerance and the refusal to acknowledge diversity. Director Abderrahmane Sissako Cast Ibrahim Ahmed dit Pino, Abel Jafri, Toulou Kiki, France/Mauritania 2014, 1h36m, subtitles, 12A: moderate violence, injury detail

The Priest’s Children Svecenikova djeca Friday 29 – Sunday 31 May Based on a controversial stage play of the same name, this Croatian comedy balances absurd humour and pointed satire in a story set on a tiny island whose burials far exceed its births. Father Fabijan (Kresimir Mikic) lands upon an idea to both increase the local birth rate and do his Christian duty, by piercing holes in the condoms sold by kiosk owner Petar (Niksa Butijer). The resulting surge of pregnancies has far-reaching effects on the island and its inhabitants. Director Vinko Bresan Cast Kresimir Mikic, Niksa Butijer, Marija Skaricic, Croatia/Serbia/Montenegro, 2013, 1h 33m, subtitles, 15

Futuro Beach Praia do Futuro Monday 1 – Thursday 4 June

A languid tripartite story of loss, loneliness and love. A desperate cry cuts through an idyllic beach landscape as two bodies flail below the ocean waves. Lifeguard Donato is quick to act, but only manages to save one man, German tourist Konrad. The two become lovers and we watch as they suffer cultural displacement in pursuit of their relationship. Director Karim Aïnouz pays tribute to classic German New Wave films such as Fassbinder’s Fear Eats the Soul and Wenders’ Alice in the Cities. Director Karim Aïnouz Cast Wagner Moura, Clemens Schick, Jesuíta Barbosa, Brazil/Germany 2014, 1h46m, subtitles, 15

Black Coal, Thin Ice Bai ri yan huo Friday 5– Thursday 11 June

This brooding, atmospheric murder mystery is set amidst the raw, wintry desolation of Heilongjiang in northern China and tells the story of divorced cop Zhang, who was seriously wounded during a 1999 murder case that ended in death and disgrace. Five years later, he is working as a security guard at a coal factory when an old colleague tells him that similar crimes have been committed and remain unsolved. Zhang decides to begin his own investigation, a decision that leads him through a perplexing neo-noir world as the plot thickens and the sense of dread deepens. Programme notes are available in the cinema and online at www.glasgowfilm.org Director Diao Yi’nan Cast Liao Fan, Gwei Lun-Mei, Wang Xuebing, China/Hong Kong 2014, 1h46m, subtitles, 15

Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films Friday 5 – Thursday 11 June

Mark Hartley follows his salutes to Ozploitation and Filipino B-movies by celebrating the eclectic legacy of Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus. This dynamic duo purchased the Cannon Group in 1979 and stormed the Hollywood barricades by funding action fodder from Bronson, Van Damme and Norris as well as backing John Cassavetes, Franco Zeffirelli and Barbet Schroeder. Electric Boogaloo is a wickedly entertaining guilty pleasure that covers all the triumphs and disasters, cheesy B-movies and tacky press stunts. Director Mark Hartley, Australia/USA/Israel/UK 2014, 1h47m, 18

@glasgowfilm

Listen Up Philip Friday 5 – Thursday 11 June

In his latest film, Alex Ross Perry, director of 2011 independent festival darling The Colour Wheel, takes inspiration from writers such as Philip Roth and Thomas Pynchon in this darkly funny tale of a self-absorbed writer who refuses to see any error in his ways. Jason Schwartzman plays Philip Lewis Friedman, a published author who can barely hide his societal malaise as he waits for his second novel to be published. Feeling ostracised from his New York home by the crowds, noise and a deteriorating relationship, he finds refuge in the isolated summer home of his idol Ike Zimmerman (Jonathan Pryce). Director Alex Ross Perry Cast Jason Schwartzman, Elisabeth Moss, Jonathan Pryce, USA 2014, 1h49m, 15

Queen and Country

player

Friday 12 - Thursday 18 June Stalwart British filmmaker John Boorman returns to the story and characters of one of his greatest successes, the multiple Oscar-nominated Hope and Glory. Picking up in 1952, and again light-heartedly based on Boorman’s own life experiences, the film follows the now grown-up Bill Rohan (Callum Turner) as he joins the army, chases girls and battles his authoritarian superiors (played with relish by David Thewlis and Richard E Grant). Also available On Demand on the GFT Player from 12 June glasgowfilm.org/player John Boorman’s Hope and Glory screens at GFT on Sun 14 & Wed 17 June, see p20 for details.

Lambert & Stamp

Sunday 7 (19.20) & Monday 8 June (17.50) Inspired by the burgeoning 1960s youth culture, aspiring filmmakers Chris Stamp and Kit Lambert set out to make an underground movie about the cultural movement happening all around them. Discovering a rebellious band named High Numbers, they quickly scrapped the idea of making a film and looked to harness the group’s remarkable ability to combine outrageous performance, style and genuine musical artistry. Rechristening the group The Who, Lambert and Stamp, along with Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend et al, went on to shape the 1960s and beyond. James D Cooper interviews all the key players and deftly reconstructs a defining moment in British pop culture. Director James D Cooper, USA 2015, 1h57m, 15

West Westen

Friday 12 - Thursday 18 June For single mother Nelly and son Alexej, making the journey from East to West Germany proves easier than anticipated. However, what they find in West Germany is a less than welcoming environment. Having to go through a series of invasive interviews to gain her citizenship, Nelly is uncertain of her new home, and begins to become paranoid of ghosts from her past. Based on the novel Lagerfeuer by Julia Franck, Christian Schwochow’s adaptation offers a gripping and emotional tale that re-examines popular notions of pre-unification East and West Germany. Director Christian Schwochow Cast Jördis Triebel, Tristan Göbel, Alexander Scheer, Germany 2013, 1h42m, subtitles, CTBC

The Look of Silence

Friday 12 – Thursday 18 June Joshua Oppenheimer’s The Act of Killing was a shocking and revelatory look at a forgotten chapter in world history – the atrocities committed by Indonesian death squads in the mid-1960s. Oppenheimer has created a companion piece focusing on Adi – an ophthalmologist whose brother was killed by the militia. The film remembers the atrocities through Adi’s eyes, as he in turn reflects on the different ways his people see, or neglect to see, one of the most troubling acts in all of human history. The screening on Sun 14 Jun (18.00) will be followed by a satellite Q&A with director Joshua Oppenheimer hosted by Louis Theroux. Director Joshua Oppenheimer, Denmark/Indonesia/Finland/Norway/UK 2014, subtitles, 1h43m, 15

The Dead Lands Hautoa

Friday 12 – Sunday 14 June Pre-colonial New Zealand is the setting for this savage, bloodthirsty coming of age story that is timeless in its themes of honour, respect and revenge. When his tribe is slaughtered, the chieftain’s teenage son Hongi (James Rolleston, star of Boy) sets out to avenge his father and bring peace to the lost souls of his family. Outnumbered and inexperienced, he must venture into the forbidden ‘Dead Lands’ and seek the help of the legendary fighter ‘Warrior’. A groundbreaking adventure from Dean Spanley director Toa Fraser featuring the traditional Maori martial art of Mau rakau. Director Toa Fraser Cast James Rolleston, Lawrence Makoare, Te Kohe Tuhaka, New Zealand/UK 2014, 1h48m, subtitles, 15

Second Coming

Monday 15 – Thu 18 June ‘Heralds the emergence of a major new filmmaking talent in Debbie Tucker Green’ - Little White Lies Jackie (Nadine Marshall), her husband Mark (Idris Elba) and their son JJ (Kai Francis Lewis) form a hard-working, tight-knit middle-class family in London.

MARTIN SCORSESE PRESENTS: MASTERPIECES OF POLISH CINEMA

‘This is a cinema of personal vision, social commitment and poetic responsibility from which we’ve all learned and which sets a high standard that, as a filmmaker, I strive to achieve with every film, every time out.’ - Martin Scorsese Martin Scorsese, one of the most recognised, respected and influential filmmakers in the world, has personally selected the films from Polish history that he considers to have been the most inspirational and influential on his craft. GFT is pleased to be able to bring five of these titles to our audiences throughout June. Spanning nearly half a century, these films cover the eternal themes of conflict, romance and death with some of the best examples of realist and poetic filmmaking. Martin Scorsese presents: Masterpieces of Polish Cinema is currently organised by DI Factory, all DOTS, Propaganda Foundation and The Film Foundation, in cooperation with Tor, Zebra and Kadr film studios, in partnership with the National Audiovisual Institute of Poland, and with the support of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage of the Republic of Poland and the Polish Film Institute.

Eroica

Wednesday 3 June (20.35) Based on a script by Jerzy Stefan Stawinski, Andrzej Munk’s film draws on its author’s first-hand experience in the 1939 campaign and later Warsaw Uprising against the German army, and his multiple stints imprisoned in POW camps. Juxtaposing a group of incarcerated Polish officers against a bon-vivant who participates in the combat, the film shows the futility of the armed struggle against both Germany and Russia while exposing the idea of heroic suffering as preposterous and questioning whether there is any place at all for glory during wartime. Director Andrzej Munk Cast Edward Dziewonski, Barbara Polomska, Ignacy Machowski, Poland 1958, 1h22m, subtitles, 12

Ashes and Diamonds Popiól i diament

Wednesday 10 June (20.20) Set on the last night of World War II and the first morning of peace, this film captures a time when the old mixed with the new, as seen through the eyes of young Polish resistance soldier Maciek Chełmicki. In a few hours, the Nazi slavery of the country will end, but in its place a new Communist regime will begin. This is not the independence the idealistic young man and his brothers-in-arms have been fighting and dying for, and Maciek is led to question whether he should continue his combat or try to regain a normal, peaceful life – a dilemma shared by the entire post-war generation in Poland. Director Andrzej Wajda Cast Zbigniew Cybulski, Waclaw Zastrzezynski, Adam Pawlikowski, Poland 1958, 1h39m, subtitles, 12

Night Train Pociag

Wednesday 17 June (20.30) An intimate psychological study and a poetic tale of loneliness, Night Train brings together two voyagers on a train, with their subtle emotional game playing out against a microcosm of human experience. Elsewhere on the train is a coquette who is attempting to seduce every available man, a former concentration camp inmate fighting his insomnia, old women on a religious pilgrimage, and a skirtchaser seeking his prey. With the arrival of a group of police on the hunt for a murderer, everything changes, and this apparently average community suddenly begins to behave in a most extraordinary way.

The Saragossa Manuscript Rekopis znaleziony w Saragossie

Wednesday 24 June (19.00) Said to be a favourite of Luis Buñuel, The Saragossa Manuscript is a brilliant examination of the supernatural and the mystical. Set in 1739, it sees a young Spanish captain crossing the Sierra Morena, entrusted with several important missions and embarking on a series of wild encounters, each stranger than the last. Skilfully adapted from Jan Potocki’s 1813 novel, this elegant film faithfully reproduces the intricate Chinese box structure of the book – to the point where neither audience nor characters can ever be sure where reality stops. Director Wojciech Jerzy Has Cast Zbigniew Cybulski, Iga Cembrzynska, Elzbieta Czyzewska, Poland 1965, 3h4m, subtitles, 15

A Short Film About Killing Krótki film o zabijaniu

Wednesday 1 July (20.30) As cabbie Waldemar Rekowski cleans his car, lawyer Piotr Balicki celebrates passing his bar exam. Meanwhile, in the same café, 20-year old Jacek Łazar prepares his murder weapon. What results from the interaction between these three men proves to be a deeply resonant study of murder as explored from both a psychological and ethical point of view, and one which paved the way for director Krzysztof Kieslowski’s tragically all-too-brief international career. Director Krzysztof Kieslowski Cast Miroslaw Baka, Krzysztof Globisz, Jan Tesarz, Poland 1988, 1h26m, subtitles, 18

8 1/2 New Digital Print

Sunday 31 May (16.00) & Monday 1 June (17.10) A film about a famous filmmaker struggling to make a film, 8 1/2 invites the audience to fully descend into the carnival-esque mind of Federico Fellini’s alter ego Guido (Marcello Mastroianni). As he searches through his past, Guido is confronted with his present, and the two merge in theatrical and grotesque depictions of self-doubt, libido, Catholic guilt and world-weary criticism. Continuing on from the magical realist flights of fancy that he had touched upon with La Dolce Vita, Fellini further embraces the abandon of his neorealist roots, in search of another kind of truth.

Facing execution and recovering from a gunshot to the leg, Rome escapes to save her from a crooked lawyer who wants to implicate her in a crime. Suspenseful rain-soaked sequences in neon-lit Manhattan streets make this a touchstone for countless modern film noirs.

Freaks New Digital Print

Sunday 14 – Tuesday 16 June Following the success of 1931’s Dracula, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer bestowed considerable funding and artistic autonomy to director Tod Browning for their first major horror film. What Browning made for them is near unclassifiable (often described as existing in its own subgenre) and it effectively destroyed his career. Drawing upon his own personal experiences with a travelling circus, Browning utilised actors with real physical disabilities in a story of inner beauty, strength in solidarity and the greed of those with power.
