IT SNOWS IN BENIDORM
Tue 16 Aug 18:15 – Auditorium Wed 17 Aug 15:00 – Auditorium
Peter (Timothy Spall) has worked all his life at a Manchester bank. He decides to visit his brother in Benidorm, only to discover that he’s disappeared. Having retired, Peter, a man of routines and few joys, decides to go to Benidorm to visit his brother Daniel with whom he has little contact. But when he arrives, Daniel seems to have vanished. Peter discovers that his brother owns a burlesque club. Spall is terrific as the archetypal “little man” but the British-born Sarita Choudhury is even better as vampish dancer Alex, who may even know what has befallen Daniel. The film is as much a haunting portrait of Benidorm itself with its emphasis on the architecture and townscape. It is stunningly visual, with a colour palette, not dissimilar to its producer’s Pedro Almodóvar. SPAIN/UK 2020 ISABEL COIXET 117M

STUMBLING
This drama in interview format is an extraordinary debut feature by a Belfast actor/director, and comprises of five intercut monologues which describe the build-up to, and execution of, a rape. The ‘interviewees’ are members of a dysfunctional family, whose relationships have been irrevocably altered. So convincing are the performances that we can be forgiven for thinking we are watching a documentary – not least because the film, which was shot over three days on a budget of just £10,000, concludes with disturbing statistics on the reporting and prosecution of the offence in Northern Ireland.
