Life (15)

Free Fire (15)

Jake Gyllenhaal, Ryan Reynolds and Rebecca Ferguson star in a spectacular sci-fi thriller. The six-member crew of the International Space Station makes of one of the most important discoveries in human history: the first evidence of extra-terrestrial life on Mars. But as the crew begins to conduct research, their methods end up having unintended consequences, and the life form proves more intelligent, and dangerous, than anyone ever expected.

A darkly hilarious crime thriller from director Ben Wheatley (High Rise). Justine (Brie Larson) has brokered a meeting in a deserted warehouse between two Irishmen (Cillian Murphy, Michael Smiley) and a gang led by Vernon (Sharlto Copley) and Ord (Armie Hammer), who are selling them a stash of guns. But when shots are fired in the handover, a heart stopping game of survival ensues. Hugely entertaining, Ben Wheatley’s latest has been compared to Reservoir Dogs.

> ScreenPride

SCREENPRIDE Get Out (15)

Appropriate Behavior (15)

Jordan Peele’s debut perfectly balances suspense, humour and horror while making a hard-hitting political statement about liberal America. Rose invites her boyfriend Chris to spend the weekend upstate with her parents. At first, Chris reads the family's overly accommodating behaviour as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter's interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he could never have imagined.

Monthly screenings of contemporary and classic films with themes of LGBT. Everyone welcome!

5

A refreshingly honest and brilliantly witty lesbian romcom from writer-director-star Desiree Akhavan. For Shirin, being part of a perfect Persian family isn't easy. Her family doesn't know she's bisexual, and her ex-girlfriend, Maxine, can't understand why she doesn't tell them. Following her brother's betrothal to a parentally approved Iranian prize catch, Shirin embarks on a private rebellion involving a series of pansexual escapades, while trying to decipher what went wrong with Maxine.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (Cert TBC)

Ghost in the Shell (12A) A dazzling sci-fi action movie, based on a Japanese animation from 1995 and starring Scarlett Johansson.

Ghost in the Shell follows the Major, a one-of-a-kind human-cyborg hybrid who leads the elite task force Section 9. Devoted to stopping the most dangerous criminals and extremists, Section 9 is faced with an enemy whose singular goal is to wipe out Hanka Robotic’s advancements in cyber technology.

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 continues the team's adventures as they traverse the outer reaches of the cosmos. The Guardians must fight to keep their newfound family together as they unravel the mysteries of Peter Quill's true parentage. Old foes become new allies and favourite characters from the classic comics will come to our heroes' aid as the Marvel cinematic universe continues to expand.

Fast & Furious 8 (12A)

John Wick: Chapter 2 (15)

Vin Diesel is joined by an all-star cast, including Charlize Theron and Helen Mirren, in the latest instalment of the hugely successful franchise. Now that Dom and Letty are on their honeymoon and Brian and Mia have retired from the game, the globetrotting team has found a semblance of a normal life. But then a mysterious woman seduces Dom into the world of crime he can’t seem to escape, and into a betrayal of those closest to him…

Keanu Reeves' legendary hitman takes on the world's deadliest killers in this thrill-packed sequel. John Wick isn't having much luck staying retired. A former associate of the unstoppable hitman is planning to take over the shadowy international assassins' guild, and someone has 'opened an account' on John himself.

It's not long before the bullets start flying in this explosive sequel to the 2014 hit that reignited Keanu Reeves' action career.

Lion (PG)

The Lost City Of Z (15)

An uplifting drama based on an incredible true story.

Saroo, a five-year-old Indian boy, falls asleep while hiding on a train and ends up thousands of kilometres away from home and family. Saroo must learn to survive alone, before he is eventually adopted by an Australian couple. Twenty-five years later, armed with only a handful of memories, his unwavering determination and Google Earth, he sets out in search of his lost family and first home.

An epic tale of courage and passion, based on an incredible true story. British explorer Percy Fawcett journeys into the Amazon at the dawn of the 20th century and discovers evidence of a previously unknown, advanced civilization that may have once inhabited the region. Despite being ridiculed by the scientific establishment, the determined Fawcett returns time and again to his beloved jungle in an attempt to prove his case.

> Autism Awareness Day

Manchester By The Sea (15)

Life, Animated (PG)

Casey Affleck gives an Oscar-winning performance in this heart-wrenching drama of loss and redemption.

When troubled Boston handyman Lee Chandler receives news of the sudden death of his beloved brother, he sets off for his home town of Manchester-by-the Sea. Here he learns that he has become guardian of his 16-year-old nephew, and is forced to confront his troubled past and the tragic events that forced him to leave.

A special screening of this brilliant, moving documentary, to mark World Autism Awareness Day, Sunday 2 April. Nominated in the Best Documentary category at this year’s Oscars, Life, Animated tells the inspirational story of Owen Suskind, who, as a child, was unable to speak until he discovered a unique way to communicate. By immersing himself in the world of animated Disney films, Owen found the tools he needed to understand and connect with the world around him. After making remarkable progress, Owen is now an adolescent striving for independence, but what does the world hold for an autistic boy who relies on Disney sidekicks in the face of adversity?

Train To Busan (15)

Goodfellas (18)

This brilliant Korean zombie horror-thriller follows a group of terrified passengers fighting their way through a countrywide viral outbreak while trapped on a suspicionfilled, blood-drenched bullet train. Showing in honour of Shetland's Annual Zombiefest, this film will get you in the mood for the annual shuffle that takes place this year on Saturday 15 April. Zombies will be assembling at the Bop Shop on Harbour Street at 10am for help with costume and make-up, before shambling off to the Market Cross.

Visit them on their FaceBook page for more details!

Goodfellas is Scorsese at the very height of his powers, directing with a dynamic urgency and a bravura use of camera, music and outstanding performers. Ray Liotta stars as Henry Hill, a young man drawn into the swaggering glamour and violence of a mobster’s life, mentored by the lethally paranoid Jimmy Conway (De Niro). The knockout support cast includes Lorraine Bracco and an Oscar-winning Joe Pesci as the volatile Tommy DeVito.

SCREENClassics

> Special Screening!

Mad Max (1979) (15)

Mad Max: Fury Road (15) BLACK & CHROME EDITION

Bringing classic films back to the big screen where they belong.

Ditching the vibrant colours of the 2015 cinema release, this new black-and-white version is director George Miller’s preferred vision of his postapocalyptic world.

In celebration of the release of Mad Max: Fury Road – Black & Chrome Edition (screening on 30 April), we bring you the first film in George Miller’s iconic franchise. In a dystopian southern hemisphere, Max is an ex-cop who seeks revenge after a biker gang murder his family. Miller’s gritty, low-budget indie hit turned Mel Gibson from an Australian soap star into a post-apocalyptic hero.

(Our definition of ‘classic’ is very broad, so expect something for everyone over the coming months!)

Max Rockatansky joins a band of renegades fleeing across the wastelands, led by elite Imperator Furiosa, who is hell-bent on crossing the desert to reach sanctuary in her childhood homeland. They’re hotly and viciously pursued by the warlord Immortan Joe and his ruthless followers.

The Time of Their Lives (12A)

Rules Don't Apply (12A)

A sunny comedy starring Joan Collins, Pauline Collins and Italian heartthrob Franco Nero. Determined to gatecrash her ex-lover's funeral on the glamorous French hideaway of Îe-de-Ré, former Hollywood siren Helen escapes her London retirement home with the help of Priscilla, a repressed housewife stuck in an unhappy marriage. Pooling their resources, they hit the road in a race to get to the island, becoming entangled in a love triangle with a reclusive Italian millionaire along the way.

A stylish romantic comedy set in 1950s Hollywood, directed by and starring Warren Beatty. It's 1958 and small town Baptist beauty queen Marla Mabrey has just arrived in Tinseltown under contract to eccentric mogul Howard Hughes. But her career seems to be going nowhere, and, in her boredom, Marla finds herself drawn to Hughes’ handsome young chauffeur Frank Forbes. Unfortunately, Hughes has one golden rule: no employee is permitted to have any kind of relationship with a contract actress. A sparkling, hugely enjoyable comedy.

Going in Style (12A)

Their Finest (12A)

Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Alan Arkin team up for this heist movie with a difference! After their pension fund becomes a corporate casualty, OAPs Willie, Al and Joe decide to step off the straight-andnarrow for the first time in their lives, and embark on a daring bid to knock off the very bank that absconded with their money. Garden State director (and Scrubs actor) Zach Braff directs this star-studded comedy.

A witty, romantic and moving portrayal of a young woman finding her way, and her voice, in the mayhem of war… and the movies! 1940, London, the Blitz; with the country’s morale at stake, Catrin (Gemma Arterton), an untried screenwriter, and a makeshift cast and crew including eccentric actor Ambrose Hilliard (Bill Nighy), work under fire to make a film to lift the nation’s flagging spirits, and inspire America to join the war.

Five ordinary high school kids learn that their small town of Angel Grove – and the world – is on the verge of being obliterated by an alien threat. Chosen by destiny, our heroes quickly discover that they are the only ones who can save the planet, but to do so they will have to work together.

When 7-year-old Tim’s parents show up one day with his new baby brother, he isn’t happy, to say the least.

He doesn’t get the same attention he used to, but it’s not just that – there’s something strange about his new sibling, and he’s determined to get to the bottom of it… A hilarious family animation about how a new baby's arrival impacts a family.

Romeo and Juliet first saw the light of day in January 1938 in Soviet Russia, where it took three years for Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev to get his adaptation of William Shakespeare’s ill-fated lovers to the stage.

SCREENF CUS

Love and laughter are our focus with our latest movie showcase, featuring four great romantic comedies from masters of the genre Frank Capra, Woody Allen, Nora Ephron and Richard Curtis.

ALL FOUR FILMS FOR THE PRICE OF THREE!

(Tickets are subject to availability and must all be purchased at the same time.)

It Happened One Night (U)

Manhattan (12A)

Frank Capra's seminal screwball comedy, which won all five major Academy Awards for 1934, is still as breezy and beguiling today. When spoilt high-society brat Ellie (Claudette Colbert) runs away from her father to marry her fiancé, she encounters down -on-his-luck journalist Peter (Clark Gable). Quickly figuring out a solution to both their predicaments, Peter agrees to help Ellie cross the country, all the while scheming for the society story of his career...

Setting the tone and style for many of his later movies, this early masterpiece from Woody Allen celebrates, as ever, his beloved New York. Allen stars as Isaac, a neurotic TV comedy writer who feels uneasy about his relationship with a 17-year-old girl (Mariel Hemingway) and escapes into the arms of his best friend's mistress (Diane Keaton), all the while coping with the unsettling presence of his ex-wife (Meryl Streep).

Sleepless in Seattle (PG)

Four Weddings and a Funeral (15)

Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan star in Nora Ephron’s whimsical charmer. Sam Baldwin is a widower living in Seattle with his eight-year-old son Jonah. One night, a desperate Jonah calls a radio psychologist to see if she can help Sam find a new wife. Across the country, Annie Reed, a reporter for The Baltimore Sun, hears the show and becomes obsessed with Sam’s story, even though she’s already engaged…

A London bachelor's misfortunes in love look set to change when he meets an American beauty at a wedding. However, the prospect of a transatlantic relationship succeeding seems slim, so the pair go their separate ways – only for him to realise he is unable to get her out of his mind.

Certain Women (12A)

Screen Horizons is the new name for Screen Wednesdays. We’ll still be bringing you the best of independent and world cinema, classic films and documentaries, but now the first screening of each film will be at 5pm on Sundays, with the repeat at 8pm the following Wednesdays. We hope you enjoy this month’s selection of great films!

Laura is an overworked lawyer trying to defend a construction worker injured at work. Gina is an ambitious wife and mother building a new home with her husband.

Lonely ranch hand Jamie enrols at an evening class and develops confusing feelings for supply teacher Beth. A beautifully observed drama set against the stunning backdrop of mountains and open landscapes.

It's Only the End of the World (15) The Salesman (12A) Winner of the Grand Prix at last year’s Cannes Film Festival, this taut chamber piece follows terminally ill writer Louis, who returns home to break the news of his impending demise to his estranged family. Once there, old wounds and deep seated frustrations surface as Louis struggles to rekindle relationships and articulate the real reason for his visit.

Actors Emad and Rana accept the offer of an empty apartment from a fellow thespian when theirs falls into disrepair. Morality, a desire for justice and social pressure come to the fore when they make a troubling discovery about the previous occupants, and are forced to deal with the aftermath of a violent attack.

Dancer (12A)

The Fits (12A)

Blessed with astonishing power and poise, Sergei Polunin took the dance world by storm and became the Royal Ballet’s youngest ever principal. But at the peak of his success, aged 25, he walked away, driven to the brink of self-destruction by stardom. This captivating documentary, featuring a wealth of archive footage and interviews, traces Polunin’s incredible journey.

11 year-old Toni is torn between two worlds, the boxing gym where she spars with her brother, and the adjacent space where a female dance troupe practices. Drawn to the dancers, she eventually joins them, but soon afterwards the members of the group begin suffering fainting fits.

Working in collaboration with Sanford Museum, Iowa this Cryptic commission for Sonica 2015 merges Lyken’s sonic responses and visualisations with Laposky’s groundbreaking 1950s art works.

Responding to a selection of six strikingly different photographic works capturing complex, rhythmic waveforms, not only are Laposky’s images an inspiration for Lyken’s compositions but the creative process behind the artworks has also been utilised to generate the accompanying visuals for the performance.

We do this because we want to see Shetland celebrated as a place where inspiration & innovation are valued; where people want to live, work & study; and we want the full social & economic potential of the islands to be achieved.
