Mr Turner

Friday 31 October – Thursday 13 November, Friday 19 – Tuesday 23 December ‘What a glorious film this is, richly and immediately enjoyable, hitting its satisfying stride right away’ – Peter Bradshaw Mike Leigh’s latest, a historical biopic exploring the last quarter century in the life of the legendary painter J M W Turner, is an exquisitely detailed return to period filmmaking. Long-time Leigh collaborator Timothy Spall depicts Turner, delving into the somewhat anarchic life of the artistic genius, never shying away from the lurid detail of a man who was simultaneously celebrated and reviled by both public and royalty. Earning rave reviews out of Cannes, this humorous, moving and eloquent film is another astonishing feat of filmmaking for Leigh and Spall. Director Mike Leigh Cast Timothy Spall, Paul Jesson, Dorothy Atkinson UK 2014, 2h30m, 12A contains moderate sex, sex references

Soon the fiction of the book begins to unravel into the reality of the mother and son as Kent plays with primordial fears to terrifying effect.

Until Thursday 6 November American Hustle and Silver Linings Playbook co-stars Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence reunite for acclaimed Danish director Susanne Bier (Love Is All You Need) in this depression-era tale of entrepreneurial-minded Serena Pemberton and her timber magnate husband George.

Friday 28 November – Thursday 4 December Winner of the Silver Bear for Best Script at Berlin Film Festival, Dietrich Brüggemann’s look at the life of a young 14-year-old girl growing up as part of a fundamentalist Catholic family is a distinctive and moving study of faith today. Uniquely structured around the 14 Stations of the Cross, with Maria going through each station just as Jesus did, the film unfolds with a slow and deliberate pace (each station is comprised of a single tracking shot), allowing the viewer to contemplate the interactions on screen in a an entirely different way to the traditional film.

Playtime

Tue 25 (17.50) & Wed 26 Nov (12.50) Jacques Tati’s 1967 Playtime is generally considered to be the director’s most daring: a one of a kind piece of filmmaking that was the most expensive French film at the time of its release. The film loosely follows two characters who repeatedly run into one another throughout Paris: a young American tourist named Barbara and Tati’s Monsieur Hulot. Structured into six sequences, Tati uses enormous sets built specifically for the film, conveying a magical, whimsical world in which to showcase his unique style of visual comedy.

The 41-year-old Gallienne plays himself from school-age child to awkward adolescent and young man, as well as doubling up in drag to play his own mother. An intelligent and crowd-pleasing work.

Hockney

Monday 1 – Thursday 4 December Using a spectrum of archive material from throughout the artist’s career, director Randall Wright gives a rich portrait of the Bradford born artist.

A feature-length documentary that captures the desperation and plight of the small town through the eyes of its people.

A fittingly cinematic epitaph to Roger Ebert, one of the most important and beloved film critics in the world, this documentary is a tribute to both the writer and the man behind the words.

LUX Scotland presents:

Oyster, selected works by Margaret Salmon Sunday 2 November (20.00)

Margaret Salmon creates filmic portraits that weave together poetry and ethnography. Focusing on individuals in their everyday habitats, her films capture the minutiae of daily life and infuse them with a gentle grandeur. Adapting techniques drawn from Cinema Vérité and Italian Neo-Realism, Salmon’s orchestrations of sound and image introduce a formal lyricism into the tradition of realist film. This is a rare opportunity to revisit her early American typographies series and see developments in two newer works filmed around her home in Kent.

Double-Bill: The Bedfords and A Life in Progress

This portrait of an eccentric artist stars Alec Guinness as aging, impoverished artist Gulley Jimson. After a spell in prison for harassment, Gulley moves uninvited into the luxurious apartment of a wealthy couple and begins a mural of ‘The Raising of Lazarus’ on their wall – destroying their home in the process. With grand visions, mainly fuelled by William Blake’s poems, and an unwillingness to concede to societal norms, this 1958 classic brilliantly captures the life of a man driven purely by his imagination. Introduced by Erik Sandberg, content manager at KILTR and followed by a Q&A with Alasdair Gray who chose the film.

This event is part of the wider Alasdair Gray Season and brings together two films starring Alasdair Gray, with introductions by both filmmakers. The Bedfords is a brooding re-imagining of the relationship between celebrated Victorian painter Edwin Landseer (1802–1873) and the Duke and Duchess of Bedford. A Life In Progress is an intimate portrait of Alasdair Gray, filmed over a fifteen year period. The resulting piece is revealing, incisive, chaotic and laugh-out-loud funny.

The touching story of an android child who finds himself adrift in a dystopian future longing for the love of his human ‘mother’.

Gremlins

Friday 5 December (23.00) An antidote to the artificial sweetness of the traditional Christmas movie, and a clever subversion of Capra’s It’s a Wonderful Life, Gremlins tells the story of an eccentric inventor who purchases a loveable creature for his son. When vital instructions are ignored, a pack of predatory gremlins are unleashed upon the town with devastating effect. With cameos from prolific filmmakers, pantomime humour and brilliant animatronic effects, Dante’s horror fairytale is also a scathing critique of consumer culture.

Soleils Suns

They travel from the beautiful Mandingo Empire in 13th century Mali to visit early European philosophers in France and Germany; from King Leopold of the Congo to Robben Island in South Africa, and more. This philosophical road movie is both funny and thrilling. It is a love story between a wise old griot and a young girl that opens up an Africa rarely seen before.

Monday 3 November (18.00) They Are the Dogs follows a television crew as they set off to report on social movements in Morocco. Intrigued by the appearance and strange behaviour of a man in the crowds, they decide to focus their report on him. Told in the form of a television report, the film fluctuates between fiction and documentary.

Director Hisham Lasri Cast Hassan Ben Badida, Yahya El Fouandi, Imad Fijjaj, France/Morocco 2013, 1h25m, subtitles N/C 15+

Timbuktu

Saturday 8 November (15.00) When the 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.

The Watermelon Woman Tuesday 4 November (18.00)

Age of Consent

Wednesday 5 November (20.20)

A classic of the New Queer Cinema of the 90s, director Cheryl Dunye’s The Watermelon Woman addresses the lack of black lesbian representation in cultural history. A young woman makes a film about an enigmatic black female actor from the 1930s known for her stereotypical ‘mammy’ roles. At the same time, she falls for a white woman and intimacy and personal angst mingle with a fascinating investigation into race, sexuality, and history.

Legendary queer filmmakers Todd Verow and Charles Lum profile London’s longest-running leather bar, The Hoist, in a no-holds-barred depiction of the history of gay sex in the city. Interviews with the bar’s unique personalities combine with reflection by experts and historical witnesses such as Peter Tatchell and Brian Robinson, who muse on topics from decriminalization and Section 28 to leather vs sports wear and Grindr.

We are delighted that members of Glasgow Women’s Library will join us for a post-screening discussion on lesbian and female bisexual representation in cinema.

This event will be introduced by Luke & Jack, Scotland’s premiere sex boutique, who will also take part in a post-screening discussion on the history of gay male sex.

Director Cheryl Dunye Cast Cheryl Dunye, Guinevere Turner, Valarie Walker, USA 1996, 1h30m, N/C 12+

My Prairie Home Sunday 9 November (17.30)

Indie musician Rae Spoon, who is transgender, returns to their roots in the conservative Canadian Prairies in this stunning musicaldocumentary by director Chelsea McMullan. Rae grew up in an abusive, evangelical Christian household, giving them (Rae uses gender neutral pronouns) a unique perspective on life. Blending magical realism, music video, travelogue, and live concert footage, My Prairie Home is a very original, blissful meditation on what it’s like to feel out of place. Introduced by the Scottish Transgender Alliance, an organisation which works to improve gender equality, rights, and inclusion. Director Chelsea McMullan, Canada 2013, 1h16m, N/C 12+

Cry-Baby

Friday 14 November (23.15) At the start of the 1990s, the biggest teen idol in the world, Johnny Depp, chose to eschew his status by starring in cult director John Waters’ gleefully camp musical ode to the teen rebel genre. Waters brings the 1950s to life with his inimitable style, telling the tale of high school bad-boy Wade ‘Cry-Baby’ Walker (Depp), who wins the heart of the rich, beautiful ‘square’ Allison Vernon Williams, drawing her into his forbidden world of fast cars, music and delinquent lifestyle. Part of our Late Night Cult Classics. Director John Waters Cast Johnny Depp, Amy Locane, Ricki Lake, USA 1990, 1h25m, 15

Paris of the North París Norðursins

Monday 8 December (18.00)

Mina is a 27-year-old actor, second generation Pakistani and single mother of 4 year old Felix. Recently divorced and sharing custody of her son, she refuses the traditional role of obedient daughter and good mother while her own mother worries about what the local NorwegienPakistani community are saying. A powerfully honest and moving portrayal of a young woman struggling with love and motherhood, caught between two cultures.

Thirty-something Hugi is a primary school teacher in a remote village. A recovering alcoholic, he is the sort of guy who takes an online language course because he is still hung up on his ex-girlfriend, and the kind who is best friends with a 10-year-old boy. When he receives a call from his estranged, hard-drinking father, he is not too pleased. Hugi eventually concedes and allows his father to visit, something he soon regrets.
