JUNE 2013 SCHEDULE Provincial Archives Pre-show/// The Provincial Archives of Alberta (PAA), in partnership with Metro Cinema, is pleased to present a monthly program of short films and excerpts taken from our extensive holdings. These clips will appear before a number of feature-length films and will be rotated over the course of the month, with a different theme chosen monthly.

For June, the PAA is presenting short clips from Celebrity Revue, an all-Edmonton television production from the 1970s that was filmed in Vancouver. Celebrity Revue was hosted by Edmonton’s own Tommy Banks and featured a talk/variety show format that showcased the hip entertainers of the day from Hollywood, Las Vegas, New York, and other happening scenes. The selections include appearances by Tina Turner with Tommy Banks, Jay Leno, David Letterman, Jackie Vernon, Tommy Banks and His Band, a comedy skit about robots, and Tom Waits.

Enjoy the show!

Stoker USA/ UK 2013, 99 min, Digital, Dir: Chan-wook Park 2 @ 1:30PM, 2 ,4, 6 @ 9:30PM, 3 @ 9PM,

India Stoker (Mia Wasikowska) was not prepared to lose her father and best friend (Dermot Mulroney) in a tragic auto accident. The solitude of her woodsy family estate and the unspoken somberness of her home life are suddenly upended by not only this mysterious accident, but by the sudden arrival of her Uncle Charlie (Matthew Goode), whom she never knew existed.

When Charlie moves in with her and her emotionally unstable mother Evie (Nicole Kidman), India thinks the void left by her father’s death is finally being filled by his closest bloodline. Soon after his arrival, India comes to suspect that this mysterious, charming man has ulterior motives.

Yet instead of feeling outrage or horror, this friendless young woman becomes increasingly infatuated with him.

2012 Filmed by Bike Compilation

Every year, Portland presents Filmed by Bike a film fest featuring the best bike movies from around the world. Bikeology presents an excellent collection of festival favorites from their 10th Anniversary festival, including shorts from Vancouver, Portland, New York, Seattle and London, England.

One of the most classic and quotable comingof-age films ever made, Rob Reiner’s adaptation of Stephen King’s The Body is at once hilarious and heartbreaking, and a spot-on time capsule of small-town America in the 1950s. Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman and Jerry O’Connell star as four friends on the precipice of junior high school, enjoying a summer of small-fry hijinx. When they go looking for the body of a boy presumed dead from a train accident, they must come to terms with the difficult changes the future holds.

Canada 2012, 94 min, Digital, Dirs: Neil Brill, Tom Macleod 17 @ 7

Murder of Couriers documents the lives of a group of bike messengers in Vancouver over a nearly three-year span. A film made by couriers about couriers that offers the chance to experience a lifestyle that not many get the privilege to enjoy: the love and hatred for the roads, the chaos of Friday night bike polo and alley-cat races, the effect of the party lifestyle, the poverty associated with the job, the inevitable pitfalls that come with living in the moment and the individuals who endure it all.

Island Etude (Lian xi qu) Taiwan 2006, 108 min, Digital, Dir: Huai-en Chen, Mandarin w subtitles) 24 @ 7 Ming-Hsang is an aurally handicapped college student who grabs his bike, backpack, and guitar and goes on a 7-day, 6-night round-the-island tour. On the way he discovers the natural and cultural beauty of Taiwan and during his encounters with different people he is exposed to local arts, folk customs, approaches to environmental protection, traditional family values, and a host of other cultural enlightenments.

The Kids Are Alright UK 1979, 101 min, Digital, Dir: Jeff Stein 4 @ 7PM (Special live music performance

by Brad Sime @ 6:30PM)

The classic rock group The Who are featured in this 1979 documentary about the career of the group. It is enhanced by rare footage of the performers, including a television interview with the later-deceased Keith Moon. Highlights include footage from many of the band’s early performances. Among the many songs featured are “Magic Bus,” “Won’t Get Fooled Again,” “My Generation,” “Young Man’s Blues,” “Happy Jack,” and excerpts from the innovative rockopera Tommy. (Clarke Fountain, Rovi)

Kris (Amy Seimetz), a young office worker, is kidnapped and drugged by a thief, who implants her with a strange foreign body. Released and returned to her home and job, Kris discovers that the mysterious procedure to which she has been subjected has rendered her intensely sensitive to the unceasing rhythms of the natural world: sounds, colours, even microscopic biological processes envelop her in a constant sensory wave. She soon meets a former stockbroker named Jeff (Shane Carruth), whose own speedily derailing life indicates that he might have been a victim of the same operation. ...

Part speculative sci-fi, part romantic thriller, Upstream Color will rank as one of the most provocative and daring American independent films of the year. (TIFF)

1968 was the year the planet went haywire. All around the globe, there were riots and revolution in the streets. For four young women from a remote Aboriginal mission, 1968 was the year that changed their lives forever. Sisters Gail, Julie and Cynthia, together with their cousin Kay, are discovered by Dave (Chris O’Dowd), a down-on-his-luck Irish musician with attitude, a taste for Irish whiskey and an ear for soul music. Dave steers the girls away from their country and western origins and flies them to the war-zones of South Vietnam, where they will sing for the American Marines. On tour in the Mekong Delta, the girls sing up a storm, dodge bullets, and fall in love. Inspired by a true story, The Sapphires is a triumphant celebration of youth, courage, love, family and soul music.

Toy Story USA 1995, 81 min, Digital, Dir: John Lasseter 8 @ 2PM

Soon Woody starts to feel upstaged and replaced by the flashier Buzz, while Buzz believes he is not a toy but a space ranger from the Intergalactic Alliance stationed in the Gamma Quadrant of Sector 4. When Woody and Buzz are accidentally left behind at the Pizza Planet, they are forced to overcome their differences to find their way back to Andy, learning the powerful value of friendship in the process.

Pride Week Screening

Edmonton Movie Club///

InQueeries invites you to further explore the norms and transgressions of sexuality and gender in Pariah and No Bikini, the films featured during the Edmonton Pride Festival.

The Manor

Pariah USA 2011, 86 min, Digital, Dir: Dee Rees 13 @ 7PM

Alike (Adepero Oduye), is a 17-year-old African-American woman who lives with her parents and younger sister in Brooklyn’s Fort Greene neighbourhood. She has a flair for poetry, is a good student at her local high school and is quietly but firmly embracing her identity as a lesbian. With the sometimes boisterous support of her best friend, out lesbian Laura, Alike is especially eager to find a girlfriend. At home, her parents’ marriage is strained and there is further tension in the household whenever Alike’s development becomes a topic of discussion. Wondering how much she can confide in her family, Alike strives to get through adolescence with grace, humor, and tenacity – sometimes succeeding, sometimes not, but always moving forward.

No Bikini Canada 2007, 8 min, Digital, Dir: Claudia Morgado Escanilla

A short film about a seven year old girl who decides to go without her bikini top at a summer camp with surprising results!

The Angel’s Share UK/ France/ Belgium/Italy 2012, 101 min, Digital, Dir: Ken Loach 14, 20 @ 7PM, 15 @ 4:45PM, 15, 18 @ 9:30PM, 16 @ 2PM, 19 @ 9PM

Opting for community service over jail time after he is charged for an assault, the rough-hewn Robbie (Paul Brannigan) befriends three fellow layabouts and petty crooks. After meeting an expert in Scotch whisky, Robbie recruits his chums for a wild scheme to plunder a few bottles of extremely rare Malt Mill whisky and thereby make his fortune - after all, as two percent of every barrel of whisky evaporates over the course of a year (the so-called “angels’ share”), Robbie and his mates reason that it could be put to better use down on earth.

Working wonders with a cast of non-professionals and making picturesque use of the lush, rolling Scottish Highlands, Ken Loach and screenwriter Paul Laverty brilliantly transform grubby realism into sprightly fable. (TIFF)

Canada 2013, 80 min, Digital, Dir: Shawney Cohen 14, 16, 20 @ 9PM, 15 @ 3PM, 15, 19 @ 7PM

Shawney calls himself a filmmaker, but he’s been a strip-club manager for longer. When he was six his father bought “The Manor”, a small-town strip club. Thirty years later, the family’s lifestyle has got the better of them. While his 400-pound father prepares for stomach-reduction surgery, his 85-pound mother has her own complicated relationship with food. Shawney’s role as struggling filmmaker and outcast son provides a rare glimpse into a family facing the consequences of their livelihood and dependence. Told with humor and frankness, The Manor is an intimate portrait of people struggling to call themselves a family.

Doc Talks presents the screening on June 15 @ 7 With/

Inshallah, Kashmir India/ UK 2012, 86 min, Digital, Dir: Ashin Kumar, Kashmiri & Hindi with subtitles 16 @ 6:15PM

A story of contemporary Kashmir. A series of counterpointed testimonies, with heartbreaking coming-of-age stories of ordinary people; warped and brutalised by two decades of militancy and its terrible response. “Although the camera and narrator usually provide the impartial eye in a documentary, stitching the story together, in Inshallah, Kashmir it is the Kashmiris who weave their deadpan narrative into a cohesive picture. Their matter-of-fact monotone says more than an entire valley of screams could.”

Graphic Content/// Curated by Matt Bowes and Erin Fraser, presented by Metro Cinema and Warp One Comics and Games. graphiccontent.org

DEDfest/// Maniac France/ USA 2012, 89 min, Digital, Dir: Frank Khalfoun 14 @ 11PM

DEDfest presents the remake of William Lustig’s nasty 80s classic Maniac starring Elijah Wood! This new version keeps all the gore that the original delivered but gives it a new polished look courtesy of a compelling performance from Wood and is produced by Alexander Aja (High Tension). Story-wise it’s a classic tale... Frank is the withdrawn owner of a mannequin store, but his life changes when young artist Anna appears asking for his help with her new exhibition. As their friendship develops and Frank’s obsession escalates, it becomes clear that she has unleashed a longrepressed compulsion to stalk and kill. Come out and join us for a screening that will make you forget this is the same actor who played Frodo Baggins.

Dick Tracy USA 1990, 105 min, Digital, Dir: Warren Beatty 18 @ 7PM

Detective Dick Tracy (director/renaissance man Warren Beatty) is a one man war on crime, butting heads with the gallery of grotesques that run the streets of his once fair city, led by Alphonse “Big Boy” Caprice (Al Pacino). When Big Boy’s latest scheme gets Tracy in the crosshairs of nightclub siren Breathless Mahoney (Madonna), his relationship with girlfriend Tess Trueheart starts to show some strain. Beatty’s interpretation of the classic Chester Gould newspaper strip is a riotous blast of colour, makeup effects, and art direction. The film was nominated for a whopping seven Academy Award nominations, winning three. Join Graphic Content as we finish off our second season in yellow-trenchcoated style.

Finally, we’re thrilled to be bringing in a newly struck 35mm print of the Harold Lloyd classic, Safety Last! for the film’s 90th anniversary - including the fantastic clock scene pictured on our front cover.

Some of our partner screenings this month include bike-y films on Monday nights with Bikeology; local films as part of the filmfest@nextfest; a new documentary called Inshallah, Kashmir with the Edmonton Movie Club - and as part of Pride Week, we’ll be presenting Pariah and the short film No Bikini with InQueeries, the MacEwan LGBTQS group.

As well, guest curators Matt Bowes and Brendan Brown have assembled four films from the 60s by Japanese director Seijun Suzuki. The series starts this month with Tokyo Drifter and Gate of Flesh, and continues in July with Youth of the Beast and Branded to Kill.

We have a great selection of world cinema this month. Ken Loach’s latest film The Angels’ Share is about a Scotch heist, while Australia brings us The Sapphires (including a dash of Irish from Chris O’Dowd), and from the Philippines comes the powerful thriller Graceland.

Safety Last!

USA 1923, 67 min, New 35mm print!

Dirs: Fred C. Newmeyer, Sam Taylor Silent w/ musical score by Carl Davis 21, 23, 26 @ 7PM, 22 @ 9PM, 23 @ 2PM, 24 @ 9:15PM

The comic genius of silent star Harold Lloyd is eternal. Chaplin was the sweet innocent, Keaton the stoic outsider, but Lloyd - the modern guy striving for success - is us. And with its torrent of perfectly executed gags and astonishing stunts, Safety Last! is the perfect introduction to his world. Lloyd plays a small-town bumpkin trying to make it in the big city, who finds employment as a lowly department store clerk.

He comes up with a wild publicity stunt to draw attention to the store, resulting in an incredible feat of derring-do that gives him a head start on the climb to success. Laugh-out-loud funny and jaw dropping in equal measure, Safety Last! is an unforgettable movie experience from a genuine legend. (Janus)

Mikey and Nicky USA 1976 119 min, Digital, Dir: Elaine May 25 @ 7PM

Nick (John Cassavetes) is desperate, holed up in a cheap hotel, suffering from an ulcer and convinced that a local mobster wants him killed. He calls Mikey (Peter Falk), his friend since childhood. So begins a long night as Mikey tries to take care of Nick, calm him down and get him out of town. Written and directed by the comedically inclined Elaine May, Mikey and Nicky is a startlingly serious study of friendship and betrayal, a unique and riveting example of the gangster film, and a brilliant acting showcase for Cassavetes and Falk.

SHOTS TO KILL: The Sixties Cinema of Seijun Suzuki Repo Man USA 1984, 92 min, Digital, Dir: Alex Cox 21 @ 11PM

What do UFO’s, a ‘64 Chevy Malibu, and Harry Dean Stanton have in common? They were all integral parts of the black comedy-punkbuddy-road movie: Repo Man. Otto (Emilio Estevez) is a punk with a lot of problems, he’s got no job and no girlfriend. In short everything sucks, that is until he gets drafted into the repossession business and the whirlwind of trouble that follows. Featuring one of the coolest soundtracks ever with tracks by Iggy Pop, Black Flag, and The Circle Jerks. Start your summer off right with Repo Man. Encore June 26 @ 8:30PM

‘Brilliant’, ‘Subversive’, ‘Auteur’, ‘Incomprehensible’. As a B - movie director working in the Nikkatsu Studio film sausage factory, the rebellious Seijun Suzuki was responsible for directing the ‘B-sides’ of cinema doublebills, producing up to three pictures a year.

Tired of the staid restrictions of commercial genre cinema, Suzuki - to the escalating protestations of the studio he worked for - began directing a series of increasingly hilarious, unique, and audacious spins on gangster flicks and historical drama until he was eventually fired. Metro Cinema is proud to present an exploration of some of this rediscovered and celebrated director’s most iconic work from the dawn of the sixties to the film that resulted in his blacklisting from the industry; a kaleidoscopic pop paradise of indelible images and renegade cool. Series concludes with Youth of the Beast and Branded to Kill in July. Curated by Matt Bowes and Brendan Brown.

Tokyo Drifter Japan 1966, 82 min, Digital, Dir: Seijun Suzuki 27 @ 7PM, 30 @ 4PM

When he’s framed for a crime he didn’t commit, Phoenix Tetsu (Tetsuya Watari) must hit the road ahead of Yakuza killers, who are attempting to track him down to ensure the peace among rival clans. The story that ensues is part Western, part cross-country road trip and part surrealist Pop Art experiment. Seemingly made to cash in on star Watari’s singing career (he sings the film’s theme, out loud, announcing his presence to his doomed enemies) Tokyo Drifter is a visual riot, a distillation of Suzuki’s rebellion against the studio system.

Gate of Flesh Japan 1964, 90 min, Digital, Dir: Seijun Suzuki 29 @ 9PM, July 3 @ 7PM

Entrepreneurship finds a way. In the bombed out ruins of post-war Tokyo, business - both legit and illicit - grows like lichen around the occupying American army bases. This dangerous and unpredictable environment compels Maya (Yumiko Nogawa) to join a collective of prostitutes - as much to belong as to make a living. However, the arrival of defeated soldier Shintaro (played by puffy-cheeked leading man Joe Shishido) threatens to tear into the weave of their tightly knit group. Lurid pulp-pageantry shot through with pop-art shades and forced perspective backdrops, Gate of Flesh manages to mirror its stagey-yet-vast sets with drama both epic and human.

From Justin to Kelly USA 2003, 81 min, Digital, Dir: Robert Iscove 27 @ 9PM

This is a charming story of two singing youngsters who … who … um … well …

OK, this product of the American Idol empire is basically an argument against celebrity, pop music and even young love. Think of it as one of those 1950’s summer beach movies without the sixty years that have caused audiences to evolve beyond simpletons. A wafer thin plot holds together a medley of unremarkable pop tunes: Boy meets girl. Boy loses girl. Boy and girl make love with Simon Cowell adjudicating.

Graceland Peaches Does Herself Germany 2012, 80 min, Digital, Dir: Peaches 28 & July 4 @ 9PM, 29 @ 7PM, 30 @ 9:30PM, July 1 @ 8:45PM

Trainspotting UK 1996, 94 min, Digital, Dir: Danny Boyle 28 @ 11PM , July 3 @ 9PM

A shocking, painfully subjective trawl through the Edinburgh heroin culture of the 1980s…

Audaciously punching up the pitch-black comedy, juggling parallel character strands and juxtaposing image, music and voice-over with a virtuosity worthy of Scorsese on peak form, Trainspotting captures precisely Irvine Welsh’s insolent, amoral intelligence. Amoral, but not unthinking, and certainly not unfeeling. …Director Boyle’s intuitive, vital, empathetic direction pushes so far, the film flies on sheer momentum - that and bravura performances from Ewen Bremner’s gormless Spud, Robert Carlyle’s terrifying Begbie and, especially, Ewan McGregor’s Renton, who supplies a low-key, charismatic centre. A sensation. (Time Out)

Peaches Does Herself is an electro rock opera stage show that tells a mythical history of the musician Peaches and follows her on a journey from bedroom wannabe musician to rockstar.

Through a selection of songs from her four official albums, a mythical biography is told based on the misconceptions surrounding the Peaches image. On the advice of a 65 year old stripper, she makes music that is sexually forthright and her popularity grows as she becomes what her fans expect her to be, transsexual. She falls in love with a beautiful she-male but Peaches gets her heart broken and has to realize who she really is. Described as an anti jukebox musical.

In the chaos of the kidnapping attempt, things go horribly awry, and Marlon’s daughter is taken and held for ransom instead. Desperate to her he must navigate the conflicting motives between the ruthless kidnappers, the untrustworthy Chango, and determined detectives eager to name him as a suspect, without letting on that the wrong girl was taken hostage. As events progress wildly unaccording to plan, Marlon, Chango and their families are forced into a rapid downward spiral of deceit and betrayal that will leave no one innocent.(TIFF)
