One of Britain’s greatest landscape artists, Eric Ravilious, is killed in a plane crash while on commission as Official War Artist in Iceland in 1942. His life was as compelling and enigmatic as his art, set against the dramatic wartime locations that inspired him. This film brings to life this unique and still grossly undervalued British artist caught in the crossfire of war 80 years ago, whose legacy largely sank without trace, until now. The film asks what it is to be a war artist, featuring Ai Weiwei, Alan Bennett, Grayson Perry and many more, to be released in his 80th anniversary year.
BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND ERIC RAVILIOUS: DRAWN TO WAR
Follows from three sold out summer screenings. This is the first fulllength feature documentary about Eric Ravilious, told in his own words through previously unseen private correspondence, made with the blessing of the Ravilious estate.

Veteran director Jean-Jacques Annaud rips a swashbuckling escapade from news footage of the catastrophic fire at the Paris cathedral. With dramatic reconstructions, digital effects and the splicing in of amateur video, social media material and genuine news footage – President Macron himself appears at one stage to be talking to an actor playing the fire chief – Annaud rips a pretty high-octane adventure from the headlines. A terrifying blaze, flying buttresses about to collapse and molten lead pouring from the roof on to the believers below. There are some startling scenes showing cathedral officials desperately trying to rescue the most precious possessions: the Crown of Thorns, a vial of Christ’s blood, afragment of the true cross and a nail from the crucifixion.

FISHERMAN’S FRIENDS: ONE AND ALL No plain sailing for the iconic band as they struggle with the consequences of the death of a founder member, record company issues and turmoil in their personal lives. The film is the follow up to the 2019 hit UK film ‘Fisherman’s Friends’ about the famous sea shanty singing group from Port Isaac, Cornwall. The sequel is based on the second part of the ‘Fisherman’s Friends’ true story about their struggles with fame, success, love, loss and navigating the bumpy road to the pyramid stage at Glastonbury Music Festival which they famously played in 2011.

“We’re going to build a dream, a tower 300 metres tall, made wholly of metal, in the middle of Paris, and everyone will benefit from it”. The movie revolves around Eiffel as he finishes his collaboration on the Statue of Liberty and is pressured by the French government to design something spectacular for the 1889 Paris World Fair. Eiffel simply wants to design the subway, but everything changes when he crosses paths with a mysterious woman from his past(Emma Mackey).

NOPE Two siblings who run a California horse ranch discover somethingwonderful and sinister in the skies. Jordan Peele (‘Get Out’ / ‘Us’) returns with another sly and satirical film. Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer play brother and sister OJ and Emerald Haywood, whose dad, a proud and savvy ranch owner based in California, has just died. Will they be able to put aside their differences when they realise their dad’s farm, along with a neighbouring theme park run by former TV star Ricky ‘Jupe’ Park(Steven Yeun), is under threat? And can they not only defeat their extra-terrestrial foe, but capture it on film? Peele is masterful at manipulating and restricting perspective, delighting in leaving just enough out of view to allow the imagination to worsen the horror. 20:15 15:15

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
NT LIVE Katherine Parkinson (‘The IT Crowd’) and John Heffernan(‘Dracula’) lead the cast in Shakespeare’s romcom of sun, sea and mistaken identity. The legendary family-run Hotel Messina on the Italian Riveria has been visited by artists, celebrities and royalty. But when the owner’s daughter weds a dashing young soldier, not all guests are in the mood for love. A string of scandalous deceptions soon surround not only the young couple, but also the adamantly single Beatrice and Benedick. Following the success of National Theatre Live’s ‘Romeo & Juliet’, ‘Twelfth Night’ and ‘Antony and Cleopatra’, director Simon Godwin returns with this irresistible comedy, broadcast live from the National Theatre stage.
QUEEN OF GLORY
This stunning documentary embraces the mythology around Maurice and Katia Krafft, the husband-and-wife scientists who died in the 1991 Mount Unzen disaster Sara Dosa tells the story of two French lovers, Katia and Maurice Krafft, who died in a volcanic explosion doing the very thing that brought them together: unravelling the mysteries of our planet, while simultaneously capturing the most explosive volcano imagery ever recorded. Along the way, they changed our understanding of the natural world, and saved tens of thousands of lives. Previously unseen hours of pristine 16-millimeter film and thousands of photographs reveal the birth of modern volcanology through an unlikely lens - the love of its two pioneers. One of the most moving and mesmerizing films of the year, a meditation on the wonders of nature and human curiosity.

SEE HOW THEY RUN In the West End of 1950s London, plans for a movie version of a smash-hit play come to an abrupt halt after a pivotal member of the crew is murdered. When world-weary Inspector Stoppard (Sam Rockwell) andeager rookie Constable Stalker (Saoirse Ronan) take on the case, the two find themselves thrown into a puzzling whodunit within the glamorously sordid theatre underground, investigating the mysterious homicide at their own peril. David Oyelowo, Reece Shearsmith, Adrien Brody and Ruth Wilson also feature. The project was shot in historic London locations earlier this year, at sites including the Dominion Theatre on Tottenham Court Road, St. Martin’s Theatre in the West End and the Old Vic Theatre in Waterloo.

With both cops and criminals in pursuit, the murderer soon realizes that people are on his trail, sending him into a tense, panicked attempt to escape justice.

Fritz Lang was the acknowledged leader of the German film industry in the 1920s, culminating in his 1931 masterpiece, ‘M’. His subsequent career in Hollywood was not so spectacular nor as consistent, as he struggled to navigate the intricate politics of the American studio system. Nevertheless, with such potent dramas as ‘Fury’, ‘You Only Live Once’, and ‘Cloak and Dagger’, Lang made a brilliant and enduring contribution to film culture. Nick Smedley is an expert on Hollywood cinema and American history, and an engaging and friendly speaker. Illustrated copiously with mouth-watering film clips, this is a talk to educate, elucidate and entertain. There will be plenty of opportunity to join in with your questions and observations, so do join us for a journey into the darker regions of the human psyche with the German master.
THE FORGIVEN
CRIMES OF THE FUTURE
As he did with 90s hit ‘Crash’, the director creates a bizarre new society of sicko sybarites where pain is the ultimate pleasure and ‘surgery is the new sex’ In the field of body horror, nobody is more accomplished thanCronenberg, whose classics of the genre (including ‘The Fly’,‘Scanners’ and ‘Videodrome’) have a terrible, clinging quality; they stick to you like parasites. His return to the land of icky-muckyyucky is set in a future where the human body is undergoing bigchanges. Pain is a thing of the past (that’s good!), pleasure is alsoon the way out (that’s bad) and people are growing new organs(that’s weird). Viggo Mortensen plays a performance artist who incorporates his body’s rapidly expanding organ set into his art. CANADA

COIXET 117M FRI
A robust, old-fashioned anti-war epic tells the true story of the soldier posted to the Philippines in the Second World War, who refused to surrender until 1974. Inspired by the life of Japanese intelligence officer Hiroo Onoda, who during the Second World War had trained as a commando with orders to hold Lubang island and never to surrender or take his own life. Fiercely loyal to these original instructions, and refusing to believe the war was over, he held out as a hermit-guerrilla for decades. In a world where the deluge of toxic opinion spewing from social media platforms has the ability to corrupt a rational mind, it’s a very prescient film in the way its subject is a person who has been wholly convinced of his destiny, to the point where he refuses toquestion the logic of his dire circumstance.

Dustbowls can become gardens of Eden through the radical regeneration of our denuded soil. This awardwinning documentary, narrated by Hollywood actor and activist Woody Harrelson, shows how. The solution to climate change lies under our feet is the powerful and optimistic message of this persuasive and fast-paced film. If we can heal our soil by regenerative agriculture, already showing incredible results around the world, we can completely and rapidly stabilise the earth’s climate, restore lost ecosystems and create abundant food supplies. One regen rancher in America is shown by his lush acreage while his neighbour’s land is stripped of life, barren. Scientists, activists, farmers and politicians share their knowledge and enthusiasm under the personable narration of USAHarrelson.2020JOSHUA
KISS THE GROUND
Coming up with ideas for Chichester’s contribution to The Big Green Week, a national event to raise awareness of our climate change emergency, taking place at the end of September, thoughts by the city’s various eco groups quickly turned to film. No surprise there as film is such a powerful medium to inspire, educate, expose, entertain and call to action. So, we are delighted to be teaming up with Chichester Cinema at New Park to put on four films on Mondays from September 19 to October 10. Look out for the Green Screen logo. These stunning documentaries from around the world have been carefully chosen to provide cinema-goers with hope, optimism and solutions while facing up to and exploring the damage we have wreaked on the planet. They might give you a renewed sense of wonder and respect for our natural world, they may encourage you to rise up, they may enthuse you to reset your life or make changes to the everyday. We really hope so.
RIVER
Our remarkable relationship with rivers is explored in a mesmerising, meditative odyssey of rare beauty and exceptional cinematography. Rivers have always shaped our landscape, history and culture, flowed through our imagination and dreams. And this extraordinary film spanning six continents brilliantly captures their majesty – and vulnerability. It has a sparse, poetic and timeless script, perfectly partnered with haunting music from Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood. Rivers are shown on grand scales with audiences going with the flow like never before. Narrated by Willem Dafoe.
2040 Hope for the next generation is the driving force behind this upbeat offering looking at how the world is responding in inspiring ways to the challenge of climate change. Many films about climate change can be, understandably, downbeat, but this is an entertaining, informative and optimistic documentary, structured as a letter to his fouryear-old daughter Velvet. She will be 21 in the year 2040 and he travels the world to find the best solutions to reverse climate catastrophe.

An immersive look at the tireless fight by indigenous people in the Brazilian rainforest to preserve their way of life. This multi award-winning offering by National Geographic is a piece of expertly-crafted activist film-making following a young indigenous leader taking on the high stakes struggle against encroaching deforestation by farmers and illegal settlers. Intimate access to people on both sides of the clash, action unfolding in the moment and rich sound design make this a complex, thrilling and thoughtful exploration of the issues on both an epic and personal BRAZIL/DENMARK/USAscale.

Asking a cross-section of young people about their hopes andfears... (The directors) encountered a generation worried about inequality, climate change and the rise of nationalism. Shooting started in late 2019, just before the pandemic. When the directors returned to work in mid-2020, their teenage subjects had lived through Italy’s long, strict lockdown. Still, even before that they talk about uncertainty in the face of economic insecurity and global warming. As one young rapper puts it, everything is a “six figuremess … someone snatched the world away”. (Subtitles) MARCELLO, FRANCESCO MUNZI, SEP 20:15 29 SEP 15:00

ALICE ROHRWACHER 105M MON 26
Puccini’s devastating tragedy about a young geisha who falls in love with an American naval officer. When the young geisha, Cio-Cio-San, marries American Naval Officer Pinkerton, she believes she is entering a real, binding marriage for life. Forsaking her religion and community, she learns all too late that for Pinkerton, their marriage is merely an illusion –with tragic consequences. With a score that includes Butterfly’s aria, ‘Un bel dì, vedremo’ (‘Onefine day’) and the Humming Chorus, Giacomo Puccini’s opera is entrancing and ultimately heart-breaking. Moshe Leiser and Patrice Caurier’s exquisite production takes inspiration from 19th-century European images of Japan. Maria Agresta and Lianna Haroutounian share the role of Cio-CioSan, with Nicola Luisotti conducting. SEP 19:15 (LIVE) 2 OCT 15:00 (ENCORE)

A definitive exploration of singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen as seen through the prism of his internationally renowned hymn, ‘Hallelujah’.
This feature-length documentary weaves together three creative strands: the songwriter and his times; the song’s dramatic journey from record label reject to chart-topping hit; and moving testimonies from major recording artists for whom ‘Hallelujah’ has become a personal touchtone. Cohen is mostly presented as an insightful, aloof, wandering poet, creating monotonously sung, bleak and bitter tunes that were mostly inspired by either religion, the human condition or women he loved and lost. A film that works as both a retrospective for Cohen and an examination of the power of USAmusic.2021

AKA: FIRE Claire Denis’s latest film stars Juliette Binoche, Vincent Lindon and Grégoire Colin, who complete a turbulent romantic triangle in this intensely intimate examination of the rupturing force of a past love. The three combatants are heavyweights of French cinema. Juliette Binoche is Sara, a presenter on a highbrow Paris radio talk show,who for 10 years has lived with Jean (played by the smoulderinglyrumpled Vincent Lindon), a former sports star, who has served time in prison for an unspecified offence. Jean has a teen son, Marcus whose mother now lives abroad and who is being raised by Jean’s mother Nelly. The third corner of the triangle is François, Sara’s ex-lover whom she left for Jean on a passionate impulse a decadeago. A tense and erotic yarn that is simply tremendous. (Subtitles)

THE Songs, crimes and falling in love with waitresses: Malachi Smyth’s debut ‘heist-musical’ finds two crooks singing their way down quite different paths, as one ambitiously schemes and the other finds himself pining for a different life. Two small time crooks, Mike and Troy, are on a mission – the ‘score’ – that they both expect will transform their circumstances. At a roadside café, as they wait for a rendezvous handover, Troy falls in love with the waitress, Gloria, and begins to question his life choices… while the threat of real danger is driving to meet them. This meet is the reason Troy and Gloria cross paths, but what they do with that fateful collision is why we keep watching. It would be impossible not to since Will Poulter and Naomi Ackie make such an engaging and acerbic couple.

In 1929 the young Luis Buñuel directed, with Salvador Dali, one of the most memorable and shocking short films ever made, ‘Un Chien Andalou’, followed the next year by the surrealist feature ‘L’Age d’Or’, before disappearing as a film director for nearly twenty years. He re-emerged with the neo-realist masterpiece ‘Los Olvidados’, a prelude to one of the most glorious late flowerings of any film director, with a series of strikingly original and hugely entertaining works in the 60s and 70s, including ‘Viridiana’, ‘Belle de Jour’ and ‘The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie’, which is screening at Chichester Cinema on 8 and 11 October. In this talk, illustrated with plenty of clips, Patrick Hargood will look back at the life and career of an iconoclast of the cinema, who influenced, among others, David Lynch and Pedro Almodóvar.

A 1950s housewife living with her husband in a utopian experimental community begins to worry that his glamorous company may be hiding disturbing secrets. Alice (Florence Pugh) and Jack (Harry Styles) are lucky to be living in Victory, the experimental company town housing the men who work for the top-secret Victory Project and their families. Life is perfect, with every resident’s needs met by the company. All they ask in return is unquestioning commitment to the Victory cause. But then cracks in their idyllic life begin to appear, exposing flashes of something much more sinister lurking beneath the attractive façade. ‘Blue Velvet’ collides with ‘The Truman Show’ as utopia slips inexorably towards dystopia. Sexy, disturbing and boundary pushing.

A young gymnast, who tries desperately to please her demanding mother, discovers a strange egg. She hides it and keeps it warm, but when it hatches, what emerges shocks them all. Tinja is desperate to please her image-obsessed mother, whose popular blog ‘Lovely Everyday Life’ presents their family’s idyllic existence as manicured suburban perfection. One day, after finding a wounded bird in the woods, Tinja brings its strange egg home and nurtures it until it hatches. The creature that emerges becomes her closest friend and a living nightmare. Completely creepy, but also surprisingly sweet and observant about what it’s like to be a 12-year-old girl. This is a brutal and elegantly crafted first feature from Bergholm who toys with multiple genres in exciting andunexpected ways. (Subtitles)

‘Paris, Texas’ follows the mysterious, nearly mute drifter Travis (a magnificent Harry Dean Stanton, whose face is a landscape all of its own) as he tries to reconnect with his young son, living withhis brother (Dean Stockwell) in Los Angeles, and his missing wife(Nastassja Kinski). From this simple setup, Wenders and writer Shepard produce a powerful statement on codes of masculinity and the myth of the American family, as well as an exquisite visual exploration of a vast, crumbling world of canyons and neon. ‘Paris, Texas’ is a landmark work in every sense: understated, powerful, sublime – worth seeing for Stanton’s performance alone.

JUNIPER Very well received as our closing film at the festival. When a selfdestructive teenager is suspended from school and asked to look after his feisty alcoholic grandmother as a punishment, the crazy time they spend together turns his life around. Sam (17) has been on a self-destructive spiral that could lead to his death. He returns home from boarding school to find his wheelchair-bound English grandmother, Ruth has moved in. Ruth is an ex-war photographer with a lust for life and a love of the bottle. Sam soon finds himself profoundly confronted by her alcoholic wit and chutzpah. Both strong-willed characters, a battle of supremacy ensues, enabling Sam to embrace life again and for Ruth to face her mortality. Rampling is of course in formidable form and local newcomer George Ferrier immediately commands our attention with a contained explosive performance.

Dangerous desires, family secrets and political intrigues – a true story told through ballet. Inspired by dark and gripping real-life events, this Royal Ballet classic depicts the sexual and morbid obsessions of Crown Prince Rudolf leading to the murder-suicide scandal with his mistress Mary Vetsera. The oppressive glamour of the Austro-Hungarian court in the 1880s sets the scene for a suspenseful drama of psychological and political intrigue as Rudolf fixates on his mortality. Kenneth MacMillan’s 1978 ballet remains a masterpiece of storytelling and this revival marks 30 years since the choreographer’s death.

JACKIE BROWN
‘Jackie Brown’ may be the only Quentin Tarantino movie that gets noticeably better with each viewing. His third film has matured into a classic neo-noir. Jackie, (Pam Grier) a middle-aged air hostess, supplements her meagre wage by couriering cash for gun-smuggler Ordell(Jackson). Unfortunately, she gets lifted and is faced with an unpleasant choice: shop her boss - who has a habit of plugging traitors; or do time. With ‘Jackie Brown’, his third film, Tarantino defies the doubters, refusing merely to re-rehearse the hip irony of his first two movies and delivering a much more thoughtful, generally less frantic, adaptation of the pulpish Elmore Leonard novel ‘Rum Punch’. The cast is outstanding with Samuel L Jackson, Robert DeNiro, Bridgit Fonda, Michael Keaton and the sublime Robert Forster.

A cinematic odyssey exploring David Bowie’s creative and musical journey. From visionary filmmaker Brett Morgen, and sanctioned by the Bowie estate. Brett Morgen’s ‘Moonage Daydream’ is a 140-minute shapeshifting epiphany-slash-freakout leading to the revelation that, yes, we’re lovers of David Bowie and that is that. It’s a glorious celebratory montage of archive material, live performance footage, Bowie’s own experimental video art and paintings, movie and stage work and interviews with various normcore TV personalities with whom Bowie is unfailingly polite, open and charming. ‘Moonage Daydream’ is an immersive ride into David Bowie’s sound and vision, and leaves you gobsmacked by his creative genius over the course of his 50-year career. A bombastic, overstimulating, poignant, life-affirming and risk-taking summation of a life.

In this talk to mark Black History Month from Sandy Guthrie of the Education Team, illustrated by some memorable clips, he will explore the ways in which real life jazz musicians have been portrayed on the big screen. The jazz musicians who created a new 20th Century art form, often at great cost to their wellbeing, have been brought to the big screen since the 1930s, veering from the critical to hagiography. From the early days of New Orleans jazz through to the giants of bebop and beyond, there will be exceptional music and clips telling the story of jazz and the people who have made it what it is.
Advance booking by Phone, Online or at the Box Office is recommended.
