> Thrillers
The Shallows (15)
Anthropoid (15)
A young woman finds herself menaced by a terrifying
shark just yards from the shoreline in this gripping
thriller. Young pro-surfer and college student Nancy
(Blake Lively) is enjoying the sea just off the coast
of a secluded beach known as ‘Paradise’. However,
she is soon attacked an enormous great white shark
in the shallows off the beach and finds refuge on an
isolated rock, just 200 yards from the shoreline. With
the shark still prowling and nobody around to help,
Nancy must come up with a drastic plan to swim
back to safety. ANTHROPOID follows the extraordinary true story
of "Operation Anthropoid". Two soldiers from the
Czechoslovakian army-in-exile, Josef Gabčík (Cillian
Murphy) and Jan Kubi (Jamie Dornan), are parachuted
into their occupied homeland in December 1941 to
assassinate SS officer Reinhard Heydrich. Heydrich,
the main architect behind the Final Solution, was the
Reich's third in command and the leader of Nazi forces
in Czechoslovakia. His reign of terror prompted the
self-exiled Czech and Slovak soldiers to hatch a topsecret mission that would change the face of Europe
forever.
> Wool Week: 24 SEP - 2 OCT
Rams (15)
Yarn (12A)
Showing in honour of Wool Week. Winner of the Un
Certain Regard prize at this year's Cannes Film Festival
and Best Narrative Feature at the Hampton's Film
Festival, this beautifully shot drama focuses on two
Icelandic sheep farmers whose longstanding feud comes
to a head when disaster strikes their flocks. In a remote
valley, estranged brothers Gummi and Kiddi live side by
side tending to their prized sheep, despite not having
spoken in 40 years. When a lethal disease infects Kiddi's
sheep, all the animals in the area are culled to contain
the outbreak. It’s a terrible blow for local farmers, but
hits hard-drinking, unruly Kiddi and quiet, thoughtful
Gummi particularly hard leading them to rebel against the
rules in their own distinct ways.
Showing in honour of Wool Week. In this visuallystriking documentary meet the artists who are
redefining knit and crochet, bringing yarn out of
the house and into the world. Reinventing and
exploring our relationship with this colorful tradition
that is building one of modern art's hottest trends.
YARN features Brooklyn-based Polish crochet artist
Olek; Icelandic wool graffiti artist Tinna Thorudottir
Thorvaldar; Japanese Canada-based artist Toshiko
Horiuchi MacAdam of Net Play Works who stitches
giant “textile playgrounds”; and Tilde Björfors, the
founder of the contemporary Swedish circus company
Cirkus Cikör.

> Comedy
Bridget Jones’s Baby (15)
Bridget Jones is back! Join her again as she enters
her 40s in the third film of this romantic comedy
series, featuring Renee Zellweger, Colin Firth, and
Hugh Grant. After breaking up with Mark Darcy (Firth),
Bridget Jones's (Zellweger) "happily ever after" hasn't
quite gone as planned. Fortysomething and single
again, she decides to focus on her job as a news
producer and surround herself with her friends. Now,
for once, Bridget has everything completely under
control. What could possibly go wrong?
David Brent:
Life On The Road (15)
The obnioxious boss from the cult TV show ‘The Office’
hits the big screen’. Although working as a rep selling
cleaning (and ladies personal hygiene) products, David
Brent hasn't given up his dream of becoming a rock
star. Styling himself as singer/songwriter for fledgling
rock band 'Foregone Conclusion', he assembles a group
of mercenary session musicians, a talented sidekick
to supply the street cred and an overpriced but
underwhelmed tour manager. Together they embark
upon a self-financed UK tour coming to a venue near
every major city near you!
Mike and Dave
Need Wedding Dates (15)
Hard-partying brothers Mike (Adam Devine) and Dave
(Zac Efron) place an advert online to find their perfect
dates (Anna Kendrick, Aubrey Plaza) for their sister's
Hawaiian wedding. Hoping for a wild getaway, instead
the brothers find themselves thoroughly outsmarted
and out-partied by the uncontrollable duo.
Bad Moms (15)
From the outside Amy (Milana Kunis) has the perfect
life--happy marriage, over-achieving kids, lovely home
and a successful career, but behind the scenes she's
over-worked, over-committed and exhausted to the
point that she's about to snap. Fed up, she joins forces
with two other over-worked and underappreciated
moms seeking to liberate themselves from
conventional responsibilities. The resulting wild,
un-mom-like binge of long overdue freedom, fun and
self-indulgence puts them on a collision course with
PTA Queen Bee Gwendolyn (Christina Applegate) and
her clique of ‘perfect moms’.
War Dogs (15)
Based on a true story of two friends who exploited
a little-known government initiative allowing small
businesses to bid on U.S. Military contracts. Starting
small, David Packouz (Miles Teller) and Efraim Diveroli
(Jonas Hill) begin raking in big money and are living the
high life. But when they land a 300 million dollar deal
to arm the Afghan Military they get over their heads in
a deal with some very shady people, not the least of
which turns out to be the U.S. Government.

Kubo & The Two Strings (PG)
Epic action-adventure from acclaimed animation studio
LAIKA, set in a fantastical Japan. Kubo (Art Parkinson,
Game of Thrones) lives a quiet, normal life telling
stories in a small seaside village, until he accidentally
summons a spirit from the past that turns his life
upside down by reawakening an age-old vendetta.
All manner of havoc ensues as gods and monsters
chase Kubo who, in order to survive, must find the
magical suit of armour once worn by his late father, a
legendary Samurai warrior, and fulfil his heroic destiny.
Nine Lives (PG)
Tom Brand (Kevin Spacey) is an immensely successful
daredevil billionaire. His company has almost
completed its greatest achievement to date - the
tallest skyscraper in the northern hemisphere.
However, Tom's workaholic lifestyle keeps him from
his family, particularly his beautiful wife Lara (Jennifer
Garner) and his adoring daughter Rebecca (Malina
Weissman). Rebecca's 11th birthday is here, and again
she wants the gift she asks for every year, a cat. Tom
hates cats, but he is without a gift and time is running
out. When his GPS directs him to a mystical pet store
full of odd and exotic cats, Tom’s life takes a bizarre
turn which sees him trapped inside the body of the
adorable Mr Fuzzypants. Can life as a cat help him
reconnect with his family, and win his body back?
Swallows and Amazons (PG)
An exhilarating adaptation of Arthur Ransome’s classic
children's adventure with a fresh espionage twist. The
four Walker children are on a dull Lake District holiday
with their mother . But when she gives them permission
to sail out and camp on a remote island, the quartet
find themselves at the centre of a fantastic summer
adventure. On the island, they find themselves in a
battle with rival group The Amazons (The Blacketts),
who have also tried to claim it as their own. But things
turn serious when the Blacketts' Uncle, Jim Turner is
revealed to be a spy, hotly pursued by a secret agent.
Asterix And Obelix:
Mansion Of The Gods (PG)
Fresh animated adaptation of the classic comic strip
series. Our favourite plucky Gauls are still holding out
against the Roman Empire. Julius Caesar (voiced by Jim
Broadbent) hatches a plan to build a luxury housing
complex in the nearby forest, in the hopes of crushing
their resistance. Despite various attempts by Asterix
(Jack Whitehall) and Obelix (Nick Frost) to halt the
building process, the so-called Mansions of the Gods
are soon finished, which creates an entirely different
problem when the new Roman tenants arrive...
Pete’s Dragon (PG)
11
Newcomer Oakes Fegley is the boy with a magical friend
in this remake of the 1977 Disney favourite. Grace (Bryce
Dallas Howard) has heard stories of a magical dragon for
years, from the mouth of her wood-carver father (Robert
Redford), However, that’s all she thought they were –
stories. That is, until she meets ten-year-old Pete (Fegley)
who claims to live alone in the woods with a giant green
dragon named Elliott. Grace sets out to determine where
Pete came from and the truth about this mysterious
dragon. However, a few other people have found out about
this remarkable dragon and are intent on capturing it. > Music

Some of today’s most influential musicians explore
themes of migration through darkly atmospheric

Mogwai’s Dominic Aitchison and Becky Unthank from The
Unthanks, with BAFTA-winning animators whiterobot (Will
Anderson and Ainslie Henderson) for this extraordinary

migration, some heart-warming, others heartbreaking
and features songs and original music by Green with

Willy Wonka & the
Chocolate Factory (U)

We start with the much loved 1971 adaptation starring
Gene Wilder on the big screen again. The world is
astonished when Willy Wonka announces that five lucky
people will be given a tour of the factory and one will win
a lifetime supply of Wonka chocolate. Young Charlie is
desperate for the prize, but his family is so poor that it's
extremely unlikely he'll find a golden tickets. But magic
can happen and Charlie gets the chance of a lifetime.
Along the way, a series of minor disasters befall the other
children, can Charlie beat the odds and prove his worth.
The third film of our ScreenFocus Roald Dahl season.
The stop-motion animated classic from Disney & Tim
Burton. James Trotter’s peaceful life at the seaside
ends abruptly when his parents are killed by a
rhinoceros from the clouds and he goes to live with his
two awful aunts. But when a mysterious man gives
him magical green "crocodile tongues" which produce
a gigantic peach from the old peach tree, James
finds himself on an amazing adventure, along with a
company of kind-hearted giant bugs.
Matilda (PG)
The Witches (PG)
The second film of our ScreenFocus Roald Dahl season.
Matilda (Mara Wilson) is a sweet and clever young girl
saddled with grumpy parents and a bratty brother. Her
parents send her to school with the worst principal in
the world, a very sweet teacher, and good friends. While
trying to put up with her parents' and principal's cruelty,
she starts to unwittingly unleash telekinetic powers.
With practice, Matilda learns to control her telekinetic
powers and is soon using them on her principal to try
and drive her away from the school.
And finally, to get you in the mood for Halloween. When
Orphaned Luke and his grandmother Helga take a holiday
to a luxurious seaside hotel, they find themselves in the
midst of a battle to save all of England’s children. Disguising
themselves as "The Royal Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children," a coven of hideous witches, led by
The Grand High Witch (Anjelica Huston) plan to turn all the
children in the country into mice. Luke accidentally uncovers

foul plans. Can plucky Luke and his Grandma save the day?

THE END is an explosive new dance performance choreographed by
Jack Webb, 'One To Watch' winner at the Sunday Herald Scottish
Culture Awards 2016.
THE END aims to confront the dramatic notion of end points: the end of the
world, the end of life as we know it, the end of good, bad and all in between.
With a stunning, pulsating soundtrack and a sleazy, dead-of-night set, three
dancers explore their own sense of mortality, excess, connection, disconnection and
endurance, with mob interjections from a team of local participants.

Nick Cave: One More Time
With Feeling (15)
The Beatles: Eight Days a
Week - The Touring Years (U)
A unique one night only cinema event directed by Andrew
Dominik (Chopper, The Assassination of Jesse James by
the Coward Robert Ford, Killing Them Softly), One More
Time with Feeling is the first opportunity anyone will
have to hear Skeleton Tree, the sixteenth studio album
from Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds. Originally a performance
based concept, One More Time with Feeling evolved as
Dominik delved into the tragic backdrop of the writing
and recording of the album. Interwoven throughout the
Bad Seeds’ performance of the new album are interviews
and footage, accompanied by Cave’s intermittent
narration and improvised rumination.
The Beatles: Eight Days A Week - The Touring Years is
based on the early part of The Beatles’ career (19621966) –in which they toured and captured the world’s
acclaim. Ron Howard’s film explores how John Lennon,
Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr came
together to become this extraordinary phenomenon,
“The Beatles.” It explores their inner workings – how
they made decisions, created their music and built
their career together – all the while, exploring The
Beatles’ extraordinary and unique musical gifts and
their remarkable personalities.
The Rolling Stones
Havana Moon (PG)
The Man Who Fell to Earth
40th anniversary (18)
Good Friday 25 March 2016 is a date that has gone
down in Cuban and Rock ‘n’ Roll history. On that day,
The Rolling Stones became the first rock band to play
a huge free outdoor concert to hundreds of thousands
of fans in Havana, Cuba. This historic concert was
filmed by award winning director Paul Dugdale and the
result is a must-see one night only cinema experience.
Havana Moon will transport cinemagoers onto and in
front of the Rolling Stones gigantic stage and immerse
them in the excitement of that groundbreaking night
in Havana.
Nic Roeg’s cult classic stars David Bowie as a
humanoid alien who comes to Earth seeking help
for his drought-striken planet. Bowie – an inspired
piece of casting which launched his Thin White Duke
persona – plays Thomas Jerome Newton who wants to
use his advanced technology to ship water back home
but finds himself lost in an unfamiliar, corrupt and
sometimes hostile society.
The Man Who Fell to Earth has been given a 4K
restoration to celebrate its 40th anniversary.

Neon Demon (18)
Sweet Bean (PG)
Just after her 16th birthday, naive young Jesse (Elle
Fanning) arrives in Los Angeles eager to become a
catwalk star. She's quickly signed up by agency boss
Jan (Christina Hendricks), who assures her she's
got what it takes to succeed, and gets a room in a
run-down motel run by sleazy Hank (Keanu Reeves).
But this innocent teen soon finds herself out of her
depth among the dead-eyed beauties in a glossy,
competitive, cutthroat world fuelled by envy and
desire. Even though this is a town that's renowned for
consuming its young, Jesse could never imagine the
grisly fate her jealous rivals are planning. One of the
most controversial films screened at the 2016 Cannes
Film Festival, this is a moody, stylised, uncompromising
cinematic nightmare from Drive and Only God Forgives
director Nicolas Winding Refn.
One of the most acclaimed figures in modern Japanese
cinema, Naomi Kawase followed up her remarkable
2014 Still the Water with Sweet Bean [An], a smalltown drama of culinary redemption, which opened
the prestigious Un Certain Regard strain of the 2015
Cannes Film Festival. Struggling street food vendor
Sentaro finds himself confronted with Tokue, an odd
but sympathetic elderly lady looking for work. When he
reluctantly accepts, it’s not long before Tokue proves
to have an extraordinary gift when it comes to making
“an” – the sweet red bean paste filling used in his
dorayakis – which starts a relationship that is about
much more than just street food. Beautifully shot and
quietly moving, Sweet Bean is a humble masterpiece
from a singularly accomplished filmmaker.
The Commune (15)
Chevalier (18)
When Jenny Cross (Chauntal Lewis) has to spend
summer vacation with her deadbeat dad (Stuart G.
Bennett) on his creepy commune, she is sure all the
clean living and boredom will kill her. But some fates
are worse than death. Provocateur filmmaker Elisabeth
Fies masterfully mixes psychological thriller, horror,
satire, and coming of age movies to create a fresh,
surprising mystery.
Greek language film. In the middle of the Aegean
Sea, six men on a fishing trip on a luxury yacht
decide to play a game. During this game, things will
be compared, measured, songs will be butchered
and blood will be tested. Friends will become rivals
and rivals become hungry. At the end of the journey,
when the game is over, the man who wins will be the
best man. And he will wear on his smallest finger the
victory ring: the Chevalier.
