Friday 27 August – Thursday 16 September Director Daniel Alfredson Cast Noomi Rapace, Michael Nyqvist, Alexandra Eisenstein Sweden 2009, 2h9m, subtitles
Mikael Blomkvist, publisher of Millennium magazine, has made his living exposing the crooked and corrupt practices of Swedish establishment figures. So when a young journalist approaches him with a meticulously researched thesis about sex trafficking in Sweden and those in high office who abuse underage girls, Blomkvist immediately throws himself into the investigation. This second episode of the Millennium trilogy by Swedish writer Stieg Larsson ratchets up the tension as our unlikely heroine is involved in some brutal murders.
Director Sylvain Chomet Cast Jean-Claude Donda, Edith Rankin Scotland 2010, 1h20m
Rooted in French popular culture of the 1950s, The Illusionist is based on a 1956 script by Jacques Tati, written as a private letter to his daughter and never before produced. Chomet’s film focuses on an animated version of Tati in an emotionally complex story of a father and daughter.

Friday 10 – Thursday 16 September Director Sebastián Silva Cast Catalina Saavedra, Mariana Loyola, Claudia Celodón Chile/Mexico 2009, 1h35m, subtitles
Raquel (Saavedra) has a bad attitude. A woman in her early forties, she’s been the live-in housekeeper for a kind, moderately wealthy family for half her life, and the joyless repetition of the job has begun to take its toll. Increasingly dependent on painkillers, Raquel resorts to household pranks and childish avoidance to antagonize the family’s college-age daughter and a procession of new servants, all in the hopes of protecting her precarious power within the home. Her antics successfully push everyone away, until new maid Lucy (Loyola) actually pushes back. This Chilean drama won prizes for best foreign feature and actress at Sundance, and deservedly so. Writerdirector Sebastián Silva takes the handheld-video, made-for-a-song aesthetic of contemporary American DIY indie film and applies it to a story about Latin America’s class gap, as experienced from the nearbottom looking up.

WINTER’S BONE

Friday 17 – Thursday 30 September Director Debra Granik / Cast Jennifer Lawrence, John Hawkes, Lauren Sweetser, Kevin Breznahan USA 2010, 1h40m
Deep in the Ozark Mountains, clans live by a code of conduct that no one dares defy – until an intrepid teenage girl has no other choice. When Ree Dolly’s crystal meth-making father skips bail and goes missing, her family’s home is on the line. Unless she finds him, she and her young siblings and disabled mother face destitution. In a heroic quest, Ree traverses the county to confront her kin, break their silent collusion, and bring her father home. With thrilling tension, Winter’s Bone depicts an archetypal rite of passage from adolescence to adulthood. Only this time, the young warrior is a girl. As our heroine braves immovable obstacles, she redefines the notion of family loyalty and, in the process, discovers her own power. The spare precision of Debra Granik’s direction is effortlessly profound. Stunningly genuine performances and exquisite visual details capture the textures and rhythms of a world where the mythic and the naturalistic intermingle. Sundance Film Festival 2010 Winner of the Sundance Film Festival 2010 Grand Jury Prize and Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award.

Cinema as Poetry: Franti�ek Vlácil Season Director František Vláčil’s (1924 – 1999) poetic and metaphorical films are among the most impressive in the history of Czech cinema. While his best-known films coincided with the period of the Czech New Wave, he made his first solo feature, The White Dove, in 1960. In the 60s, he produced a quartet of outstanding historical films: The Devil’s Trap, Markéta Lazarová, The Valley of the Bees and Adelheid. Vláčil’s work is distinguished by its enormous visual power, and a preoccupation with the image reminiscent of Eisenstein, Antonioni or Tarkovsky. His interest in the image was more than a strategy for avoiding censorship and was concerned principally with enriching the expressive powers of film – cinema as the equivalent of music or poetry. In collaboration with the Czech Centre London and Czech National Film Archive.

Tuesday 7 September (6.15)

Cast Karel Smyczek, Václav Irmanov, Kateřina Irmanovová
Cast Magda Vášáryová, František Velecký, Josef Kemr
Czechoslovakia 1960, 1h16m, subtitles
Czechoslovakia 1966–67, 2h43m, subtitles
One of the films that resurrected the poetic tradition in Czech cinema, Vláčil’s first feature tells the simple story of a dove blown off course from the Baltic to Prague, where it is injured by a boy with an airgun. Together, he and an artist nurse it back to recovery. Jan Čuřík’s cinematography draws striking contrasts between the blacks and whites of sea and beach, and the bleak grey of the Prague apartment blocks.
Vláčil’s impressive 13th-century epic is a story of fierce inter-clan rivalry that evokes comparisons with directors as diverse as Bergman and Kurosawa. In adapting Vladislav Vančura’s original novel, Vláčil deliberately aimed to create the psychology of a past age, even drawing on anthropological studies. A powerful and passionate film, its battery of poetic and associational effects create a visual style unique in the history of Czech cinema.
This screening will be introduced by Dr Mirna Solic, lecturer at the University of Glasgow. Dr Solic will discuss František Vláčil’s film aesthetics with regard to film adaptations of Czech literature and history.
ADELHEID

Tuesday 14 September (12.45/8.20) Cast Petr Čepek, Emma Černá, Jan Vostrčil Czechoslovakia 1969, 1h39m, subtitles
Set in the aftermath of the Second World War in the Sudetenland, the film charts the relationship between an ex-airman, who is assigned a large mansion in the border area, and Adelheid, the daughter of its previous Nazi owner, who is allocated to him as a servant. A compelling love story that transcends the absence of verbal communication, this was the first film to reflect the Czech treatment of Germans during the expulsions of the mid-1940s.

Czechoslovakia 1974, 50m, subtitles
František Vláčil re-established his career with this lyrical, award-winning children’s film. The best friend of 12-year-old František is his wolfhound Sirius. Every day the dog waits for him on a hill and they play together. The war disrupts their apparent idyll when a German tanker train is destroyed. When the Germans demand that locals hand over their dogs, František hides Sirius. Plus two Czech shorts: Mean Barka (Lakomá Barka, 1986, 16min), a puppet animation from the film Fimfárum, based on Jan Werich’s fairy stories, and A Neanderthal Man (Clovek neandrtálský, 1978, 7min), 2D animation from the popular Mach and Sebestová series. All tickets £3.50
THE SHADOW OF THE FERN
Czechoslovakia 1967, 1h37m, subtitles
A young boy is vouchsafed to the Order of Teutonic Knights. On reaching manhood, he deserts the Baltic coast for his homeland in Bohemia, pursued by the handsome fundamentalist knight, Armin von Heide, who is intent on returning him to the Order. Vláčil’s strikingly composed film provides a portrait as compelling as Bergman’s The Seventh Seal, with its themes of religious intolerance, sexuality and political domination providing a universal resonance.

Tuesday 28 September (6.00) Cast Marek Probosz, Zbygniew Suszynski, Miroslav Macháček Czechoslovakia 1985, 1h37m, subtitles
Two youths, caught poaching a deer, shoot a gamekeeper and go on the run. Naively imagining a future life of escape and adventure, they are ultimately destroyed by their own contradictions. Inspired by Josef Čapek’s pre-war novel and stories about foresters in old calendars, Vláčil also linked the film to his own past experiences and the sense of being hunted.

In Venezuela they call him Francisco: the Belgian whose professions included priest, labourer and artist. From a small house in the La Vega slums, he led creative protests against the government that systematically ignored the poor, before eventually being exiled. More than 30 years later, he returns... A dazzling, kaleidoscopic film which dishes up stories from the past and the reality of today.
Would it be possible to organise a worldwide referendum, applying the principle of ‘one person, one vote’, to create a global democracy? In this thought-provoking film, director Joel Marsden looks for the answer in 26 countries: from Venezuela to Congo, Kashmir and Iran. Visiting UN Headquarters, he encounters a surprising enthusiasm for his idea, and sets out with a home-made satellite voting machine to see if he can make it happen.

Scotland 2010, 1h13m
USA 2009, 1h18m
This is the story of a woman who enjoys her life – husband, three children, house in the Scottish countryside. As a sceptic and hedonist, when she dreams of her horse’s death, and wakes up to discover him dead, she tries to ignore it. But when she dreams of her own imminent death, she begins to explore every avenue to avoid this dream becoming reality.
There’s a revolution underway in South America, but most of the world doesn’t know it. Oliver Stone sets out on a road trip across the continent to explore its social and political movements, as well as the mainstream media’s misperception of South America, while interviewing seven of its elected presidents. Stone gains unprecedented access and sheds new light upon the exciting transformations in the region.
Affecting, and ultimately, brimming with optimism, Hardie’s film is a genuine one-off that encourages contemplation. Eye For Film The screening on Monday 6 September (6.00) will be followed by a Q&A with director Amy Hardie.

ONE WAY PENDULUM Sunday 26 September (7.30) Director Peter Yates Cast Eric Sykes, George Cole, Peggy Mount, Julia Foster UK 1964, 1h25m
Arthur Groomkirby (Sykes) needs a hobby and his latest fancy is to rebuild the Old Bailey’s court no.7 in the family living room. His wife Mabel complains of the increase in housework and, in any case, already has her hands full with endless food deliveries cluttering up the house. Thankfully Myra Gantry (Peggy Mount) is on hand to help consume the backlog. The Groomkirby’s huffy teenage daughter Sylvia is ashamed to leave the house because she imagines her arms are too short, and their son Kirby (Jonathan Miller) is fixated on rehearsing a massed choir of speak-your-weight machines, part of a nefarious plan to supply himself with a perpetual pretext to dress in black. Adapted from N F Simpson’s acclaimed play and featuring a cast of well-loved character actors, One Way Pendulum is an odd and engaging absurdist comedy, a lost gem from the production company that released Saturday Night, Sunday Morning and Loneliness of a Long Distance Runner. Selected by Marc Baines, lecturer in illustration at Glasgow School of Art. Join the film club after the screening in Café Cosmo.

Director Richard Kelly Cast Jake Gyllenhaal, Drew Barrymore, Patrick Swayze
UK 1985, 2h12m
Quietly released in America in the weeks following 9/11, Donnie Darko seemed destined to become an underground hit. A loyal DVD audience rallied round, elevating this Sundance flop into the quintessential cult film of the past decade. Prepare yourself for a journey through time with Frank the Rabbit – but just don’t question your commitment to Sparkle Motion.
Pitting the imagination of common man Sam Lowry (the brilliantly befuddled Jonathan Pryce) against the oppressive storm troopers of the Ministry of Information, Terry Gilliam’s Brazil has come to be regarded as an anti-cautionary tale equal to the works of George Orwell, Franz Kafka and Kurt Vonnegut.

Offending both liberal commentators and right wing politicians is no easy task but South Park geniuses Trey Parker and Matt Stone manage it with such un-PC gusto, you can’t help but adore them. Together they created an astounding puppet parody of overblown action films and Hollywood egos through a sequence of inspiring montages. So groundbreaking, it was accidentally remade five years later as G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra… but sadly with no MATT DAMON in sight. BUY TICKETS ONLINE WWW.GFT.ORG.UK
