Starred Up

Friday 21 March – Thursday 3 April A complex father/son relationship is viewed through a brutal depiction of prison life in Starred Up, one of the most powerful and assured films of David Mackenzie’s career. Jack O’Connell gives an extraordinary performance as Eric, a teenage young offender so aggressive and unpredictable that he is prematurely moved to an adult prison. His fellow inmates include the father he hasn’t seen since he was five. GFF14 Director David Mackenzie Cast Jack O’Connell, Ben Mendelsohn, Rupert Friend UK 2013, 1h45m, 18

20 Feet from Stardom Friday 28 March – Thursday 10 April

Oscar-winning documentary 20 Feet from Stardom is an irresistible salute to the unsung heroines of the music industry: the back-up singers. There are great tales and spinetingling vocals from the likes of Merry Clayton and The Blossoms’ Darlene Love, as well as archive footage of Bowie and Michael Jackson, tracing the relationship between star and back-up singer in the creation of some unforgettable music. GFF14 Check out www.glasgowfilm.org/festival/ gff_community/videos and watch star Claudia Lennear singing at Glasgow Film Festival. Director Morgan Neville Cast Darlene Love, Merry Clayton, Lisa Fischer, Claudia Lennear USA 2013, 1h31m, 12A: Contains infrequent strong language

Yves Saint Laurent

Friday 28 March – Thursday 10 April The pioneering French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent is stunningly portrayed in this evocative biopic that charts twenty years of the prodigal creative’s life. Pierre Niney perfectly embodies the lanky physicality, artistic determination and pathological shyness of the icon, whilst director Jalil Lespert fills each and every frame with faultless and loving attention to period detail, bringing Laurent to life. GFF14 Director Jalil Lespert Cast Pierre Niney, Charlotte Le Bon, Guillaime Gallienne France 2014, 1h46m, subtitles, 15

The Past Le passé

Tom at the Farm Tom à la ferme

Friday 4 – Thursday 10 April

Iranian director Asghar Farhadi follows A Separation with another intelligent, densely plotted exploration of the tragedies that lurk in the bitter afterglow of love. When Ahmad (Ali Mosaffa) arrives in Paris to formalise his divorce, he stays with ex-wife Marie and her daughters from a previous relationship in the house she shares with her new partner and his son. Beneath the surface picture of happy families, there are tensions, guilty secrets and unresolved emotions that tie them all inescapably to the events of the past. GFF14 Director Asghar Farhadi Cast Bérénice Bejo, Tahar Rahim, Ali Mosaffa France/Italy 2013, 2h10m, subtitles, 12A: Contains infrequent strong language and references to suicide

Friday 4 – Thursday 10 April In this psychological thriller based on the play by Michel Marc Bouchard, Dolan plays Tom, an advertising copywriter who travels to rural Quebec for the funeral of his lover Guillaume. He is met by Guillaume’s grieving mother Agathe (Lise Roy) and his macho, hostile brother Francis (Pierre-Yves Cardinal). It soon becomes apparent that neither of them was aware of their exact relationship and the stage is set for some increasingly threatening confrontations. A lethal tale of love and loss. GFF14 Director Xavier Dolan Cast Xavier Dolan, Pierre-Yves Cardinal, Lise Roy Canada/France 2013, 1h35m, some subtitles, 15

The Robber Der Räuber Tuesday 1 – Thursday 3 April

Based on the novel by Martin Prinz, and on real-life 80s Austrian criminal sensation Johann Kastenberger (here named Johann Rettenberger), who was a bank robber, murderer and marathon runner, this tense, terse, kinetic thriller from director Benjamin Heisenberg is much like the character it portrays: precise, lean and obsessive. After holding up a bank immediately on his release from prison, it is clear Rettenberger’s stint in jail hasn’t had the effect the authorities had hoped for – though a chance encounter with an old family friend hints at possible redemption for the nefarious adrenalin-junkie. Director Benjamin Heisenberg Cast Andreas Lust, Franziska Weisz, Florian Wotruba Austria/Germany 2010, 1h41m, subtitles, 15

The Double

Friday 4 – Thursday 17 April Multi-talented maestro Richard Ayoade returns with an inspired adaptation of the Fyodor Dostoevsky novella. Simon (Jesse Eisenberg) is a meek, mild-mannered worker who finds himself confronted by James, a smug, arrogant doppelganger with all the charm and confidence that Simon lacks. A darkly amusing existential comedy that descends into heartbreaking tragedy. GFF14 The screening on Monday 7 April (18.20) will be introduced by Dr Nessa Johnston, lecturer at Glasgow School of Art, as part of our Contemporary Cinema Course (see p2 for details). Programme notes are available in the cinema and online at www.glasgowfilm.org Director Richard Ayoade

Friday 25 April – Thursday 1 May

Father James Lavelle (Brendan Gleeson) has just found out that he is going to be murdered in one week and as the day draws nearer, he struggles to deal with his sentence. The second feature from The Guard director John Michael McDonagh, this is a wickedly dark comic murder mystery with a towering performance from Gleeson and fellow Irish talent Chris O’Dowd, Dylan Moran, Kelly Reilly and Pat Shortt. The screening on Monday 21 April (18.20) will be introduced by Dr Nessa Johnston, lecturer at Glasgow School of Art, as part of our Contemporary Cinema Course (see p2 for details). Director John Michael McDonagh Cast Brendan Gleeson, Chris O’Dowd, Dylan Moran, Kelly Reilly / Ireland/UK, 1h40m, 15

The Lunchbox Dabba Friday 11 – Thursday 24 April

Every day Ila lovingly prepares a delicious lunch that is delivered to a husband who fails to appreciate the food or her. One day the food is mistakenly delivered to mild-mannered widower Saajan. He is astonished by the tender loving care in every mouthful. Once she realises the error, Ila writes her mystery diner a note and soon they are exchanging the most tender of confidences through the lunchboxes. A wonderful, feel-good tale with a generous spirit that is quite irresistible. GFF14 Programme notes are available in the cinema and online at www.glasgowfilm.org Director Ritesh Batra Cast Irrfan Khan, Nimrat Kaur, Nawazuddin Siddiqui India/France/Germany/USA 2013, 1h44m, subtitles, PG

Half of aYellow Sun Friday 18 – Thursday 24 April

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s astonishing, Orange Prize-winning novel is brought to the screen in a sweeping, epic production written and directed by Nigerian playwright Biyi Bandele. Nigeria’s struggle for independence in the 1960s is captured through the lives and loves of very different twin sisters. Sociology professor Olanna is beguiled by charismatic revolutionary Odenigbo whilst her sister Kainene marries white British writer Richard. Their struggles and sacrifices mirror a chaotic country torn apart by ethnic conflict, class and race, and urgently seeking to break the chains of its colonialist past. GFF14 Director Biyi Bandele Cast Thandie Newton, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Anika Noni Rose Nigeria/UK 2013, 1h51m, 15

An incredible true-life journey is transformed into a tale of extraordinary human endeavour in Tracks. In 1977, Robyn Davidson set herself the task of walking 2700 kilometres from Alice Springs to the Indian Ocean. Davidson spent nine months testing herself against the elements, accompanied only by National Geographic photographer Rick Smolan (Adam Driver). A luminous Mia Wasikowska is magnificent as Robyn in a film that charts her physical challenges and the inner journey of self-discovery. GFF14 Director John Curran Cast Mia Wasikowska, Adam Driver UK/Australia 2013, 1h50m, CTBC

Pioneer

Friday 18 – Thursday 24 April

Friday 25 April – Thursday 1 May

Alicia (Juno Temple) finds herself a stranger in a strange land when her cousin Sophie (Emily Browning) leaves her to travel to a remote Chilean island with three unknown companions. Amongst them is Brink, played with grotesquely creepy aplomb by Michael Cera, who seems to be both picking on the terrified Alicia and attempting to woo her. A uniquely unsettling psychological thriller that plays with audience perceptions as the characters’ inner-demons become the terrors that prey on them. Director Sebastián Silva Cast Juno Temple, Michael Cera, Emily Browning Chile/USA, 2013, 1h37m, some subtitles 15

Insomnia director Erik Skjoldbjærg returns with a tense conspiracy thriller based on true events from the burgeoning North Sea oil industry in the 1980s. Petter (Aksel Hennie) is part of an American-Norwegian team exploring the limits of human endurance in deep-sea diving. When a tragic accident results in the death of his brother, Petter’s determination to uncover the truth is the starting point for a shocking and still highly relevant tale of shady politicians and the collateral damage from the ruthless pursuit of profit. GFF14 Director Erik Skjoldbjærg Cast Aksel Hennie, Wes Bentley, Stephen Lang Norway/Germany/Sweden/France/Finland 2013, 1h51m, subtitles, 15

Clerks

Friday 18 April (23.00)

We Are the Best! Vi är bäst! Friday 25 April – Thursday 1 May

Swedish master Lukas Moodysson (Show Me Love, Lilya 4-Ever) adapts his wife Coco’s comic book. It’s Stockholm, 1982, and thirteen-year-old anarchists Bobo and Klara are ignored by their parents and rejected by their more straightlaced classmates. They form a punk band as an act of rebellion and rope in virtuous guitar maestro Hedwig. A tribute to the power of music to change lives. GYFF14 Programme notes are available in the cinema and online at www.glasgowfilm.org Director Lukas Moodysson Cast Liv LeMoyne, Mira Grosin, Mira Barkhammar Sweden 2013, 1h42m, subtitles, 15

Twenty years ago a young director sold his comic book collection and maxed out his credit cards in order to make a film that would come to stand as a landmark of American independent cinema. Charting the trials of Dante Hicks, a twenty-two-year-old retail clerk working in a small convenience store, Clerks presents a hilarious and scarily accurate picture of early twenties anxieties and boredom. Celebrate the 20th anniversary of this oft-imitated and rarely bettered slacker comedy classic in a new digital print. Director Kevin Smith Cast Brian O’Halloran, Jeff Anderson, Marilyn Ghigliotti USA 1994, 1h42m, 15

Friday 25 – Monday 28 April Ignacio Ferreras’s adaptation of the awardwinning graphic novel is as achingly poignant and real a tale of old age as anything that flesh and blood cinema has offered. When former bank manager Emilio starts to show the early signs of Alzheimer’s, his family dispatch him to an institution. His roommate is wily, wheelerdealer Miguel who guides him through life and death in his new home. The result is a wry, smartly observed account of the challenges and indignities of old age. Director Ignacio Ferreras Cast Álvaro Guevara, Tacho González Spain 2011, 1h29m, subtitles, 15

Honour

Tuesday 29 April – Thursday 1 May In his gritty first feature, director Shan Khan taps into the subject of honour killings, with the story of British Pakistani Mona, a young woman who ‘dishonours’ her ultra-conservative family by running away with lover Tanvir. Blinded with fury, the family enlist a bounty hunter (a suitably dour and mysterious Considine) to track her down and exact punishment. A tense, pacy thriller that plays on a distressingly relevant topic, Honour is an assured, intelligent and engrossing debut from a promising British filmmaker. Cambridge Film Festival Director Shan Khan Cast Paddy Considine, Aiysha Hart, Nikesh Patel UK 2014, 1h42m, 15

A kinky, disturbed millionaire picks up redheads and drags them back to his castle dungeon – then things start to get really demented. The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave is part hallucinatory murder mystery, part gothic horror flick and flat-out crazy from first frame to last. Featuring gorgeous 1970s styling and a stunning Bruno Nicolai score, this is one of the wildest European cult classics out there. Presented from a rare imported US 35mm print. Director Emilio P Miraglia Cast Anthony Steffen, Marina Malfatti, Erika Blanc Italy 1971, 1h43m, 18

The Strange Colour of Your Body’s Tears

L’étrange couleur des larmes de ton corps Sunday 27 – Tuesday 29 April

Following on from their critically acclaimed debut feature Amer, writer-directors Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani return to the arthouse giallo genre with this brutal, electric and surreal mystery thriller. With grisly showdowns, ear-splitting screams and intense close-ups, plus 1970s Italian scores from the likes of Ennio Morricone and Bruno Nicolai, this is a luscious, erotic and violent puzzle-box of a film. You will find yourself guessing to the very end. GFF14 Directors Hélène Cattet, Bruno Forzani Cast Klaus Tange, Ursula Bedena, Joe Koener Belgium/France/Luxembourg 2013, 1h42m, subtitles, 18

Mulholland Drive with Jordan Wolfson Sunday 6 April (13.00)

New York-based artist Jordan Wolfson’s work mixes reality, imagination and cultural critique to create distorted and absurd narratives, balanced somewhere between pop and conceptual art. For Crossing the Line, it is fitting that Jordan has chosen David Lynch’s dreamlike and mysterious Mulholland Drive as a key influence on his work. This surreal noir about Hollywood corruption stars Naomi Watts as a wannabe starlet who arrives in town only to become embroiled in a passionate lesbian relationship and a shadowy conspiracy surrounding a new movie.

Saturday 12 April (17:15)

Iranian artist Bahman Mohasses was celebrated in pre-revolutionary Iran but mysteriously disappeared, along with much of his art, after 1979. Before he died in 2010, filmmaker Mitra Farahani tracked him down to a hotel in Rome. Prone to egotism and self-destruction, he had a disturbing tendency of destroying his own paintings. In the course of this moving film, Mohasses reflects back upon his triumphs as an artist, his love affairs, and the nature of creativity.

Over the past three decades Glasgow has emerged as one of the UK’s most creative cities, with a broad range of non-profit spaces, commercial galleries, internationally successful artists and a world-class art school. This new documentary explores the evolution of the Scottish city from industrial heartland to artistic centre with archival footage, artist’s films and exclusive interviews with a cross-section local artists and curators.

Combining interviews with friends and colleagues, extraordinary archive footage and re-enactments of his performances, this documentary offers a unique insight into the artist and his legacy.

Salma

Sunday 13 April (15:00)

In this sensitive, illuminating and often funny documentary, legendary director Martin Scorsese interviews his parents, Catherine and Charles Scorsese, over dinner in their modest apartment in New York’s Little Italy. Through conversations, interview, family archive and contemporary street scenes of 1970s New York, we are given an extraordinary insight into one of the most original and acclaimed directors of our times.

When thirteen-year-old Salma was locked up for twenty-five years, she found salvation in words. Secretly composing poems on scraps of paper, she managed to finally get them into the hands of a publisher and eventually became one of the most famous Tamil poets. This film follows Salma as she returns to her village and confronts the young women living there today.

Martin Scorsese has chosen Italianamerican from his own personal archive especially for Art Screen audiences and has recorded a special introduction to accompany the screening.

Salma and director Kim Longinotto will join Adele Patrick, Co-Founder of the Glasgow Women’s Library for a post-screening discussion.

Sunday 6 – Tuesday 8 April

A landmark of Italian neorealism often cited as one of the greatest films ever made, Roberto Rossellini’s portrait of life under Nazi Occupation remains remarkable for its sheer immediacy, tension and power. Shot both on the ravaged streets and in the studio (most memorably for the painfully frank second half set largely at Gestapo headquarters), Rome, Open City seamlessly blends sequences reminiscent of documentary with more conventional dramatic scenes notable for their pace, precise staging and affectingly naturalistic performances. Its emotional punch remains undiminished. BFI

Glyndebourne’s 80th-anniversary season opens with Strauss’s Der Rosenkavalier, not seen at Glyndebourne since 1982, in a new staging by Richard Jones, with Robin Ticciati, the company’s new Music Director, conducting the London Philharmonic Orchestra. After shocking the opera world with Salome and Elektra, Richard Strauss seduced it with Der Rosenkavalier, first performed in 1911. He and librettist Hugo von Hofmannsthal fashioned the most beguiling of all romantic farces, its nostalgic flavour crystallised in the elegant, sensuous waltzes which pervade and define the score.

Glyndebourne: Don Giovanni Recorded: Tuesday 8 July (19.00) £15 full price / £13 concession / £10 CineCard

How many comic operas begin with spine-chilling chords and slithering chromatics in the eerie key of D minor, continue with a cold-blooded murder, and end with the hero’s consignment to hell? Don Giovanni, even more than Le nozze di Figaro and Così fan tutte, the other two darkshaded opere buffe by Mozart and Da Ponte, slinks restlessly between comedy and tragedy. This sleek, suspenseful production of Mozart’s classic, first seen in the 2010 Glyndebourne Festival, captures this duality and instantly became a Glyndebourne classic. 3h30m

However, Alfredo’s father intrudes on their idyllic existence in the country and, although realising her sincerity, persists in his demand that Violetta renounce Alfredo. A beautifully moving realisation of Giuseppe Verdi’s opera, this performance is both tragic and life affirming – an opera that reinvents itself anew for every generation. 3h

A man whose vanity threatens to divide the great houses of England and drag his people into a dynastic civil war that will last 100 years.
