MCQUEEN

A personal look at the fearless, rebellious and extraordinary life, career and artistry of Alexander McQueen. Through exclusive interviews with his closest friends and family, recovered archives, exquisite visuals and music, McQueen is an authentic celebration and thrilling portrait of an inspired yet tortured fashion visionary. McQueen’s ragsto-riches story is a modern-day fairytale, laced with the gothic. Mirroring the savage beauty, boldness and vivacity of his design, this film is an intimate revelation of McQueen’s life and work, both tortured and inspired. McQueen celebrates a radical and mesmerising genius of profound influence.

NOMINATED FOR BEST DOCUMENTARY AT THIS YEAR’S TRIBECA FILM FESTIVAL “The film delivers a staggering visual feast in the footage of these runway shows, rarely seen by those outside the fashion world, and the emotional punch of witnessing an exuberant talent headed toward self destruction.”

Eve MacSweeney, Vogue “The brilliant, tortured fashion designer Alexander McQueen gets a documentary portrait worthy of his strange, sensual artistry.”

Guy Lodge, Variety “This appropriately flamboyant film explores McQueen’s humble beginnings, his inspirations, his tight knit band of collaborators, his creative process and the violent brilliance of his work.”

Soon after becoming Prime Minister, Winston Churchill must face one of his most turbulent and defining trials: exploring a negotiated peace treaty with Nazi Germany, or standing firm to fight for the ideals, liberty and freedom of a nation.

New Mexico 1892, and legendary Army captain Joseph J. Blocker must undertake one final mission before retirement: escort Yellow Hawk – a dying Cheyenne war chief – and his family back to sacred tribal lands.

After 20 years of violent struggle, this gesture of peace is as unthinkable as it is harrowing.

Two great warriors, once rivals across the battlefield, must learn to trust each other and find peace in an unforgiving land.

With the police investigation seemingly stalled, Hayes hires the three billboards of the title, which are located just outside of the city of Ebbing.

THE POST

Steven Spielberg’s exhilarating drama deals with a subject that’s dear to the heart of journalists: themselves! Set largely during a few anxious weeks in 1971, it revisits The Washington Post’s decision to publish portions of the Pentagon Papers, an immense classified report that chronicled America’s involvement in south-east Asia from World War II to 1968.

THE SQUARE

The Square follows Christian, a divorced but devoted father of two, and the respected curator of a contemporary art museum in Stockholm. He’s preparing to launch their next show, The Square, a daring installation examining altruism and our duty to help others. However, Christian’s own views on social responsibility are put to the test when he becomes the victim of a scam. With pitch-perfect performances, inventive set pieces and a cutting deadpan wit, The Square is a hilarious, unique and often surreal look at idealism and cynicism in the modern world.

Set in the glamour of 1950’s post-war London, renowned fashion designer Reynolds Woodcock and his sister Cyril are at the centre of British fashion, dressing royalty, movie stars, heiresses, socialites, debutants, and dames with the distinct style of The House of Woodcock. Women come and go through Woodcock’s life, providing the confirmed bachelor with inspiration and companionship, until he comes across a young, strong-willed woman, Alma, who soon becomes an important fixture as his muse and lover. Once controlled and planned, he finds his carefully tailored life disrupted by love.

As human consumption has essentially destroyed the planet, a group of scientists propose that the only way to reverse the trajectory of time is to minimise not only the waste of our species but our actual size. For Paul (Matt Damon) and his wife Audrey (Kristen Wiig), the promise of attaining the hitherto unattainable by downsizing is too great a temptation to ignore.

THE GREATEST SHOWMAN

A bold and original musical that celebrates the birth of showbusiness and the sense of wonder we feel when dreams come to life.

Inspired by the ambition and imagination of P.T. Barnum, The Greatest Showman tells the story of a visionary who rose from obscurity to create a mesmerising spectacle that became a worldwide sensation.

OSCAR® NOMINATED AND A GOLDEN GLOBE® WINNER

Tonya Harding was never fully accepted by the figure skating community because she didn’t fit the image of grace, breeding and privilege that the sport wanted to portray. Regardless of her success, a world championship medallist, an Olympian, and being the first American woman to complete a triple axel in competition, she is probably best known for her links to the leg-bashing incident in 1994 involving her competitor Nancy Kerrigan. Her association to that incident led to Tonya being banned from competitive figure skating for life. I, Tonya seeks to unravel Harding’s life, particularly her relationship with her tough mother, in order to try to understand her complex story.

THAT SUMMER

The long lost prequel to GREY GARDENS… That Summer brings back the eccentric world of the mother-daughter duo from the classic documentary Grey Gardens. That Summer presents what was believed to have been lost footage from the summer of 1972, filmed

by Peter Beard and Lee Radziwill – sister of Jacqueline Kennedy Onasis. Additional material – shot by Andy Warhol, Jonas Mekas, Albert Maysles, and Vincent Fremont – also gives a unique insight into the dynamics of the former artist community in the Hamptons.

“While the Maysles’ acclaimed film makes their affection for their subjects evident, there’s a certain performative quality to the proceedings.

That Summer offers a new level of intimacy as well as a wider view, with Beard’s commentary lending compelling context… A must for fans of the Maysles’ film.”

GREY GARDENS

Named by Entertainment Weekly as one of the top fifty cult movies of all time, Grey Gardens was something of an accident as the filmmakers Albert and David Maysles only came across Edith Bouvier Beale and Edith ‘Little Edie’ Bouvier Beale when they were involved in another project – a movie about (Jacqueline Kennedy’s sister) Lee Radziwill’s childhood in the Hamptons. As part of their research, the Maysles brothers were introduced to the reclusive mother and daughter and became captivated by their eccentric world. As a result, they abandoned the Radziwill film and decided to concentrate on the Beales and, a year after meeting the two women, began filming Grey Gardens.

“As tender and revealing as it is completely bonkers.”

Silent Testimony, an exhibition of portrait paintings by Colin Davidson (born Belfast 1968), reveals the stories of eighteen people who are connected by their individual experiences of loss through the Troubles – a turbulent 30-year period in Northern Ireland from the late 1960s onwards.

Since 2010, Colin Davidson has become internationally renowned for his series of large-scale portraits of actors, musicians, poets and public figures. While painting these familiar faces he became increasingly preoccupied, not with their celebrity, but more with their status as human beings.

This continuing exploration of ‘common humanity’ is the foundation on which Silent Testimony rests.

Until this exhibition, the artist, who grew up in Belfast and studied art at the University of Ulster, had not responded overtly to what he witnessed or personally experienced during the Troubles.

Silent Testimony is a powerful response, which reflects on how the conflict has had, and continues to have, a profound impact on thousands of individuals – the injured, their families, the families of those who died and the wider community.

Accompanied by artist talk, gallery tours and screening of Hear My Voice, a film inspired by Silent Testimony, directed by Brendan J Byrne. Visit nervecentre.org for further details.

Marina is a waitress and aspiring singer. Orlando is 20 years older than her and owns a printing company. They are in love and planning for the future.

After celebrating Marina’s birthday one evening, Orlando falls seriously ill and passes away just after arriving at the hospital.

A directionless teenager living on the outskirts of Brooklyn struggles to escape his miserable home life and navigate questions of self identity, as he balances his time between his wayward friends, a potential new girlfriend, and older men he meets online.

Unfolding over a single lazy summer, this raw spin on the ‘coming out’ drama offers a brutally unreserved look at masculinity and punch-drunk sexual awakening.

In the mountains of the Eastern Cape in South Africa, a boy from the Xhosa community rebels against the circumcision ceremony that signifies the progression to manhood.

An elder, Xolani, is sent to assist, but his ulterior motive is to rekindle an affair with fellow male guide Vija, which signals mortal danger for all three men. This powerful film has manifold scars of battles between old and new, urban and rural, gay and straight.

120 BPM (BEATS PER MINUTE) (120 BATTEMENTS PAR MINUTE) Set in the late ‘80s/early ‘90s, 120 BPM concentrates on the Parisian branch of AIDS activist group ACT UP, who, when not taking their struggles to big pharmaceutical offices and the streets, fight it out among themselves.

With seemingly no help on the horizon and no future for those afflicted, it was very much a matter of life and death, and tempers frayed accordingly.
