Blade Runner 2049 (15)

Thor: Ragnarok (Cert: TBC)

The highly anticipated sequel to Ridley Scott’s dazzling and hugely influential 1982 sci-fi.

Thor is imprisoned on the other side of the universe without his mighty hammer and finds himself in a race against time to get back to Asgard to stop Ragnarok – the destruction of his homeland and the end of Asgardian civilization – at the hands of an allpowerful new threat, the ruthless Hela. But first he must survive a deadly gladiatorial contest that pits him against his former ally and fellow Avenger – the Incredible Hulk!

Thirty years after the events of the first film, a new blade runner, LAPD Officer K (Ryan Gosling), unearths a long-buried secret that has the potential to plunge what's left of society into chaos. K's discovery leads him on a quest to find Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), a former blade runner who has been missing for 30 years.

Victoria and Abdul (PG)

Goodbye Christopher Robin (PG)

The extraordinary true story of an unexpected friendship in the later years of Queen Victoria's reign.

A rare glimpse into the relationship between beloved children's author AA Milne and his son Christopher Robin, whose toys inspired the magical world of Winnie the Pooh.

When Abdul Karim, a young clerk, travels from India to participate in the Queen's Golden Jubilee, he is surprised to find favour with the Queen herself (played, majestically, by Judi Dench). As the Queen questions the constrictions of her long-held position, the two forge an unlikely and devoted alliance.

Christopher Robin and his family are swept up in the international success of his father’s books, the enchanting tales bringing hope and comfort to England after the First World War. But with the eyes of the world on Christopher Robin, what will the cost be to the family?

Borg vs McEnroe (15)

Tom of Finland (18)

A thrilling biopic that brings to life the rivalry that set the world of tennis alight, culminating in an exhilarating recreation of the 1980 Wimbledon final – one of the greatest tennis matches of all time.

Thursday 5 October, 5.45pm A captivating biopic of artist Touko Laaksonen, aka Tom of Finland, one of the most influential gay artists of the 20 th century. After the trauma of serving in WWII, Tuoko finds no peace at home, as he has to go to increasingly great lengths to hide his homosexuality. As the secret affairs and police crackdowns wear on him, he commits more deeply to his art, drawing inspiration from the uniforms that oppress him. In Finnish, English and German with English subtitles.

Björn Borg (Sverrir Gudnason) is the number one ranked tennis player in the world, and there’s only one obstacle in his pursuit of a fifth recordbreaking Wimbledon championship; the highly talented but ferociously abrasive young American, John McEnroe (Shia LaBeouf).

“R.M. Hubbert’s delicate guitar is a perfect soundtrack… Mesmerising”  The Skinny

BY THE LAW

With live accompaniment by RM Hubbert THURSDAY 19 OCTOBER - Mareel Screen 1  £15/£12 (£10 for Gold Card holders) A superb event combining silent cinema with live music written and performed by multi-award-winning post-rock Scottish composer and songwriter RM Hubbert (aka Hubby), whose brand new guitar score was commissioned by the Hippodrome Silent Film Festival in Bo’ness. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with RM Hubbert.

Legendary Soviet director Lev Kuleshov adapted a short story by Jack London for this tense Western. Three gold prospectors are holed up in a cabin – one driven to murder by greed, the others wrestling with whether to wait for the snow and ice to thaw and summon the authorities, or to take the law into their own hands…

The score for ‘By the Law’ was premiered at the Hippodrome Silent Film Festival in March 2017 and tours Scotland this summer and autumn supported by Film Hub Scotland.
