Our first season of 2019 was a belter! We've enjoyed some great films, and with membership and audience numbers higher than ever we’re enjoying them with more of you! We’ve no doubt this new season will keep that momentum going. As ever, at its heart is our weekly programme of the best new release world and independent cinema. We have films from Lebanon, Italy, Belgium, Sweden, Germany, France and Iceland as well as the best English-language features, and we’ve got you covered if you’re a fan of heartbreaking emotion, coming-of-age comedy, timely social drama, science fiction, art history and much more. As ever our friends at Yorkshire Silent Film Festival will be joining us, and we’re also delighted to be working again with Doc n’ Roll Film Festival after their successful visit to Hull in 2017. New events include a special screening in partnership with the Kiev International Short Film Festival, and a programme of films nominated for the Best Short Film Prize at the Austrian Film Academy Awards. It’s another three months of brilliant films that you won’t find anywhere else, so why not join us to Discover Something Different?

THE GENERAL
The 1926 silent film with live score
Fri 7 June, 8.00pm Hull Truck Theatre
The General is considered the last great comedy of the silent era, and it consistently ranks as one of the greatest comedies of all time on international critics’ polls. Buster Keaton portrays the engineer Johnnie Gray, who is rejected by the Confederate Army and then suffers the further humiliation of his girlfriend thinking him a coward. When a small band of Union soldiers penetrate far beyond Confederate lines to steal his locomotive, Johnnie sets off in hot pursuit. Seven of the film’s eight reels are devoted to the chase, with its orchestration of thrills and comedy. Live improvised score by Jonny Best (piano) and Trevor Bartlett (percussion). Directed by Buster Keaton, Clyde Bruckman USA | 1926 | 79 min | Comedy Language: Silent (English title cards) Cast: Buster Keaton, Marion Mack, Glen Cavander

AUSTRIAN SHORT FILM FESTIVAL Unrated 18+

Austria | 2018 | 180 min Language: German with English subtitles
All pictures from Excuse Me
A selection of films from the shortlist for the Best Short Film Prize at the 2019 Austrian Film Academy Film Awards. The programme includes all three nominees, BESTER MANN, VIRGIN WOODS and the eventual prizewinner, EXCUSE ME I’M LOOKING FOR THE PING-PONG ROOM AND MY GIRLFRIEND. In BESTER MANN, shy teenager Kevin is taken in by the older Bennie, in a disturbing tale about the vulnerability of youth, the power of intimacy and the murky motives that often lie behind supposedly innocent actions.
The winner of the Best Short Film Award, EXCUSE ME... follows Aron as he wanders the bizarre world of the corridors and rooms of an Austrian mountain health resort, looking for his girlfriend following an argument.
Shot on 16mm film, the ethereal VIRGIN WOODS (ZALESIE) is a dreamlike story about one young woman’s innocent ideas about love and death.
The screening will also include a selection of the other titles that featured on the initial shortlist for the Award, making for
