Introduction
STUDIO GHIBLI FOREVER
THE COMMUNE
CAPTAIN FANTASTIC
When it was announced that When Marnie Was There was to be Studio Ghibli’s last film before
taking a hiatus in production, we decided we weren’t ready to say goodbye just yet and so we are
bringing you a very special Studio Ghibli Forever season this August - with 12 films screening over
three weeks including classics like Grave of the Fireflies, My Neighbour Totoro and Spirited Away.
We are also continuing our Adapting Miss Highsmith and Sculpting Time seasons, examining
the big screen adaptations of Patricia Highsmith and the life’s work of celebrated director Andrei
Tarkovsky.
Speaking of celebrated directors (seamless segue there), there are films by the likes of Thomas
Vinterberg (The Commune), Pedro Almodóvar (Julieta) and the Stanley Kubrick classic Barry
Lyndon on offer.
Another year goes by and September is upon us, which can mean only one thing... The return
of the most prolific director of the last forty years and a new film by Woody Allen. This time he
brings his New York sensibilities to Hollywood for the glamorous Café Society.
Other highlights of this brochure include one of the hits of EIFF 2016, The Carer; Viggo
Mortensen proving that not all heroes need fight crime or wear a cape in Captain Fantastic; and
you can hear songs from the new Nick Cave album Skeleton Tree before its release in Andrew
Dominik’s extraordinary one-off feature film One More Time With Feeling on 8th September.

Paul Greengrass • USA 2016 • Digital • cert tbc
Cast: Matt Damon, Alicia Vikander, Tommy Lee Jones, Vincent
Cassel.
Set 12 years after The Bourne Ultimatum (2007), Jason
Bourne returns Matt Damon to the hard-hitting title
role, with Paul Greengrass (Captain Phillips, The Bourne
Supremacy) back in the director’s chair. Channelling
contemporary real-world pressures of enforced austerity
measures, information leaks and cyber-terrorism, this fifth
instalment sees Jason Bourne drawn out of the shadows
- still pursuing answers about his mysterious past as
the authorities struggle to keep pace. Co-starring Alicia
Vikander and Tommy Lee Jones, expect hard-edged action
and tense thrills.

János Edelényi • UK/Hungary 2016 • 1h29m • Digital • English
and Hungarian with English subtitles • 15 - Contains very strong
language.
Cast: Brian Cox, Coco König, Emilia Fox, Anna Chancellor.
Brian Cox is at his theatrical best in this enjoyably
mannered comedy drama, starring as Sir Michael Gifford,
a retired Shakespearean actor suffering from Parkinson’s
that has left him frustrated and gloriously grumpy, at his
country manor. His family insists he has a carer and he ends
up with Hungarian refugee Dorottya (Coco König) who
has acting aspirations of her own. The late Gilbert Adair
is amongst the credited writers, though apparently Cox
himself contributed the wonderful speech Gifford gives at
an awards ceremony.
The Hard Stop
Mon 8 to Wed 10 Aug
George Amponsah • UK 2015 • 1h25m • Digital • 15 - Contains
strong language, scenes of real violence.
Documentary
In August 2011, 29-year-old Mark Duggan was shot and
killed by armed police in Tottenham, London. This incident
ignited a riot that escalated into a week of the worst civil
unrest in recent British history.
Hard Stop explores the life and death of Mark Duggan, and
features his childhood friends, Marcus and Kurtis, as they
struggle to come to terms with the death of their friend whilst also waiting to see if the inquest will provide them
with a satisfactory version of the truth.

Alex Cox • UK 1986 • 1h51m • Digital • 18 - Contains very strong
language, strong violence and hard drug use.
Cast: Gary Oldman, Chloe Webb, David Hayman, Andrew
Schofield.
Six men - inexplicably on a yacht in the middle of the
Aegean Sea - begin a game that tests their fortitude,
endurance and manhood, to establish who is “The Best
in General”. The victor’s prize will be a signet ring - the
Chevalier.
Alex Cox’s seminal 1986 biopic is one of Gary Oldman’s
earliest and most acclaimed roles. He plays Sid Vicious,
bass guitarist of the Sex Pistols, with the outstanding
Chloe Webb as his girlfriend Nancy Spungen: together,
an ill-fated King and Queen of alternative rock. In 1978,
following Nancy’s sudden, tragic death at the Chelsea
Hotel in Manhattan, Sid is arrested and taken for
questioning, during which the full story of their passionate,
mutually-destructive relationship unfolds...
A darkly humorous and increasingly absurd portrait of
men at various stages of life and society, Athina Rachel
Tsangari’s directs this film about ego, competition and
extended adolescence.
Star Trek Beyond
Justin Lin • USA 2016 • 2h5m • Digital • cert tbc
Cast: Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Simon
Pegg, Anton Yelchin, Idris Elba.

an unknown planet and with no apparent means of rescue,
the crew find themselves in conflict with a new and ruthless
enemy...

English, German and French with English subtitles • PG - Contains
moderate violence, sex, nudity.
Cast: Ryan O’Neal, Marisa Berenson, Patrick Magee, Hardy Krüger,
Steven Berkoff.
Rachel Tunnard • UK 2016 • 1h36m • Digital • 15
Cast: Jodie Whittaker, Lorraine Ashbourne, Alice Lowe, Ozzy
Myers, Brett Goldstein.
Kubrick’s epic costume drama, based on William
Makepeace Thackeray’s novel, tells the story of Redmond
Barry, a young Irishman condemned to a life of wandering
after he shoots an English officer in a duel over the hand
of his cousin, whom he loves. He enlists in the British
Army to fight the French, deserts, is forced to enlist in the
brutal Prussian army, becomes manservant to a card-sharp
chevalier, a professional gambler himself, and marries the
beautiful, newly widowed Lady Lyndon.
Expanding her BAFTA-nominated short film, writer/
director Rachel Tunnard has crafted a charmingly offbeat
comedy-drama featuring a wonderful central performance
by Jodie Whitaker as Anna, a young woman approaching
30 who has refused to deal with life after the death of her
twin. Living in a shed in her mother’s backyard, she hides
in her imagination (and makes amusing movies featuring
her thumbs), but faces her arrested development when she
bonds with a troubled young boy.

1h51m • Digital • Danish with English subtitles • 15 - Contains

Cast: Ulrich Thomsen, Trine Dyrholm, Fares Fares, Julie Agnete
Vang.
Dark comedy about life in a 1970s Danish collective.
Thomas Vinterberg sublimely pilfers from his own
childhood for this wonderfully constructed story of the
ups and downs of family strains. A professional couple perfectly played by Ulrich Thomsen and Trine Dyrholm
(who won the best actress award at Berlin) - establish
a commune in a large house in a classy suburb of
Copenhagen. The freewheeling story features the various
characters who stay, perfectly reflecting the style and tone
of the era.

Robert Budreau • UK/Canada/USA 2015 • 1h38m • Digital
15 - Contains strong language, sex, violence, drug misuse.
Cast: Ethan Hawke, Carmen Ejogo, Callum Keith Rennie, Tony
Nappo.
A witty and energetic imagining of the life of jazz legend
Chet Baker - one of the most famous musicians of the ‘50s.
Ethan Hawke embraces the role of the virtuoso trumpet
player, pursuing his comeback in the 1960s after a spiralling
battle with heroin addiction, and spurred on by an exciting
new romance with the enigmatic Jane (Carmen Ejogo).
Like Don Cheadle’s recent Miles Davis imagining Miles
Ahead, Budreau’s film seamlessly blends biographical facts
with engaging fiction and finds a keen balance between
darkness and humour.
Embrace Of The Serpent
El abrazo de la serpiente
Fri 19 to Tue 23 Aug
Ciro Guerra • Colombia/Venezuela/Argentina 2015 • 2h2m
Digital • German, Portuguese, Latin, Spanish and Catalan with
English subtitles • 12A - Contains moderate violence, injury detail,
threat.
Cast: Nilbio Torres, Jan Bijvoet, Antonio Bolivar, Brionne Davis.
This deeply compelling, Oscar® nominated film tells two
stories, taking place in 1909 and 1940, both featuring
Karamakate, an Amazonian shaman and last survivor of his
tribe.
He travels with two scientists, German Theodor KochGrunberg (Jan Bijvoet) and American Richard Evans
Schultes (Brionne Davis), to look for the rare yakruna - a
sacred plant. Loosely inspired by the diaries written by
these two scientists, it is a tale of new encounters, betrayal
and life-affirming friendship.

Closet Monster tells the story of Oscar Madly (Connor

He embarks on a journey of self-discovery with the beloved
help of his talking pet hamster, Buffy (voiced by Isabella
Rossellini), his imagination and the prospect of love, that
will ultimately bring him closer to confronting his inner
monster.

decade. Albert’s epic and entertaining account plunges
us into a glittery world of rock shows, fashion events, and
the Cannes red carpet where LeRoy becomes a mysterious
sensation. As she recounts this astonishing odyssey, Albert
also reveals the intricate web spun by irrepressible creative
forces within her...

Pedro Almadóvar’s twentieth feature, inspired by three
short stories by Canadian writer Alice Munro, centres
around twin performances by Emma Suárez and Adriana
Ugarte as the titular character at different stages of life.
From young Julieta’s (Ugarte) chance encounter and
whirlwind romance with Xoan (Daniel Grao) to, via guiltridden loss, her relationship with teenage daughter Antïa
(Priscilla Delgado) in later life, Julieta retains the colour and
texture of the Spaniard’s previous work despite its deeply
emotional dramatic focus.
Geologist Kristian (Kristoffer Joner) is responsible for
monitoring the the mountainous region surrounding the

he notices something on his equipment...

Stig Björkman • Sweden 2015 • 1h54m • Digital • Swedish and

Documentary
Going above and beyond a mere career retrospective, this
new documentary combines archive footage, interviews
with her children, personal correspondence and, most
remarkably, a wealth of never-seen-before home movies
to paint a portrait of Ingrid Bergman in all aspects of her
life. While exploring her rise to silver screen stardom, her
magnificent and notorious romances and her adulthood as
an international icon, Stig Björkman’s film is a testament to
Bergman as a pioneer, mother and icon.
The impending giant tsunami that follows triggers a frenetic
race against time for Kristian, his family and the people of
Geiranger. Roar Uthaug (who has been lined up to direct
the Tomb Raider reboot) directs The Wave with great
tension and spectacular vision.

Set in the Hollywood Golden Age of the 1930s, Allen’s
latest annual effort is a pleasingly charming comedy-ofmanners with enjoyable turns from his young leads Jesse
Eisenberg and (in particular) Kristen Stewart. Bobby, a
young Bronx native, moves to Hollywood where he falls in
love with the secretary (Stewart) of his powerful uncle, an
agent to the stars. After returning to New York, he is swept
up in the vibrant world of high society nightclub life.
Deep in the woodland of the Pacific Northwest, away

to transforming his six young children into extraordinary
adults through rigorous physical and intellectual training.
When a tragedy strikes the family, however, they are forced
to leave this self-created paradise and begin a journey into
the outside world that challenges his idea of what it means
to be a parent and brings into question everything he’s
taught them.

MY NEIGHBOUR TOTORO
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind
A sweeping season of Studio Ghibli - from the
legendary Japanese animation house’s humble
beginnings in 1984 with Nausicaä Of The Valley Of
The Wind to its most recent masterpiece, The Tale
Of The Princess Kaguya.
Hayao Miyazaki • Japan 1984 • 1h56m • Digital • Japanese with
English subtitles • PG - Contains mild violence, scary scenes
With the voices of Sumi Shimamoto, Mahito Tsujimura, Hisako
Kyôda, Gorô Naya.

Kaze no Tani no Nausicaä
Fri 5 to Sun 7 Aug
A mesmerising blend of fantasy and science-fiction,
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind is set centuries in the
future in a world almost swallowed by a polluted forest full
of giant insects. The titular heroine (named from a minor
Odyssey character) is a gentle, courageous girl whose
peaceful country is caught up in a conflict between greater
powers. Misuse of technology threatens man and nature in
this story based on Miyazaki’s epic-length graphic novel.
The wind-riding Nausicaä remains one of the most popular
animated characters in Japan.

English subtitles • U - Contains mild peril
With the voices of Minami Takayama, Rei Sakuma, Kappei
Yamaguchi, Keiko Toda.
This iconic tale follows Satsuke and Mei, two young girls
who find that their new country home is in a mysterious
forest inhabited by a menagerie of mystical creatures
named Totoros. The eldest of these creatures becomes
their friend and, as their mother lies sick in the hospital, he
takes the sisters on a magical adventure while also helping
them to understand the realities of life.
Following tradition, thirteen year-old Kiki must leave
home and support herself for a year. Kiki is a witch,
complete with flying broomstick and talking cat. Based on
a children’s book by Eiko Kadono, Miyazaki’s delightful
film is refreshingly down-to-earth about Kiki’s problems in
adjusting to a new home, not to mention adolescence. The
fantasy is enhanced by the extraordinary surroundings.
Kiki’s new home is a gorgeously idealised composite of
Stockholm, Napoli, Lisbon, Paris and even San Francisco.
Grave of the Fireflies

Isao Takahata • Japan 1988 • 1h29m • Digital • Japanese with

With the voices of Tsutomu Tatsumi, Ayano Shiraishi, Yoshiko
Shinohara.
Isao Takahata’s first Ghibli feature follows a teenage boy
and his infant sister as they struggle to survive in wartime
Japan. After losing their mother and their home in a firebomb attack, the pair gradually withdraw from adult society
and find solace in each other as tragedy moves inevitably
closer. Often heartbreaking, Grave of the Fireflies shows
both the cruelties and joys of the characters’ short lives.
Our knowledge of the outcome from the start makes the
film all the more intense.
Only Yesterday
Omoide Poroporo
English subtitles • PG - Contains references to puberty.
With the voices of Miki Imai, Toshirô Yanagiba, Youko Honna.
Based on a comic-strip by Hotaru Okamoto and Yuko Tone,
this decade-crossing character study depicts the rapid
changes in modern Japan through the eyes of twenty-seven
year-old Taeko. Travelling to the country for a working
holiday, she ponders the direction of her life and recalls her
childhood in the ‘60s. The flashbacks are crammed with
pop-culture references, presented in a simple water-colour
style that contrast with the ‘realist’ present-day.

Cast: Yuriko Ishida, Yôji Matsuda, Yûko Tanaka, Kaoru Kobayashi.
In this thematic sequel to Nausicaä, a young warrior is

home, to a forest where animal gods fight a losing battle
with human invaders. The gods’ champion is San (the
Princess of the title), an abandoned girl raised by wolves.
Both sides are fighting for survival, and the story becomes
an allegory for the attack of technology on nature in
modern Japan. With samurai swordfights and a showdown
with the gods, Princess Mononoke echoes John Ford
westerns as much as Kurosawa.
English subtitles • U - Contains mild threat

With the voices of Rumi Hiiragi, Miyu Irino, Mari Natsuki, Takashi

Spirited Away begins as ten-year-old Chihiro and her
parents discover a tunnel in the countryside that leads them
into an old, abandoned theme park. While her parents help
themselves to the contents of a food stand, Chihiro goes
exploring. But as night falls she returns to find that mum
and dad have been turned into pigs, leaving her trapped
in the spirit realm. Sent to work in a bathhouse for the
gods, Chihiro has to find a way to break the spell. A feast of
gorgeous animation and intelligent storytelling.

newborn lights up the life of a childless woodcutter and
his wife. The family become wealthy and move to a city

THE CRY OF THE OWL
ENOUGH ROPE
RIPLEY’S GAME
The Cry of the Owl
Le cri du hibou
Fri 5 & Sat 6 Aug
Described by Graham Greene as the ‘poet of
apprehension’, Patricia Highsmith specialised
in tightly plotted thrillers exploring the fear,
jealousy, guilt and violence bubbling under the
surface of outwardly civilised characters. Neurotic
men dominate her fiction, antiheroes with a
plethora of dark secrets and obsessions, though
she was equally capable of studies of great
sensitivity and tenderness, as evidenced by one
of her few forays outside the thriller genre, Carol.
The artistry and intelligence of her work is widely
considered to have transcended the thriller genre
and rival that of mainstream literature, and has
made for much compelling cinema. This is the
second half of the season...

Claude Chabrol • France/Italy 1987 • 1h42m • Digital • French
with English subtitles • 15
Cast: Christophe Malavoy, Mathilda May, Jacques Penot, JeanPierre Kalfon, Virginie Thévenet.
Highsmith and Claude Chabrol seemed to be made
for each other so it’s surprising that the prolific French
director (La Femme Infidéle, Le Boucher) didn’t turn to the
writer’s work more regularly. Although Highsmith herself
considered The Cry of the Owl a lesser novel, Chabrol
recognised its great power. The film centres on the unusual
relationship between Robert (Christophe Malavoy) and
Juliette (Mathilda May), which develops after Robert, a
draughtsman and part-time artist, admits to having spied on
her for several months.
Ripley’s Game

Liliana Cavani • USA/UK/Italy 2002 • 1h50m • 35mm • English,
German and Italian with English subtitles • 15
Cast: John Malkovich, Dougray Scott, Ray Winstone, Lena Headey.
Already freely adapted by Wim Wenders as The American
Friend, Highsmith’s third Tom Ripley novel gets a straighter
reworking courtesy of Liliana Cavani, the Italian director
most famous for her 1974 succès de scandale The Night
Porter. John Malkovich takes on the lead role, while
Dougray Scott plays the terminally ill framer tangled up in
Ripley’s schemes. With a strong supporting cast including
Ray Winstone and Chiara Caselli, the film also boasts an
atmospheric score by Ennio Morricone.

The Talented Mr Ripley
Claude Autant-Lara • France/West Germany/Italy 1963 • 1h44m
Digital • French with English subtitles • cert tbc
Cast: Gert Fröbe, Marina Vlady, Robert Hossein, Harry Meyen,
Maurice Ronet, Yvonne Furneaux.
Anthony Minghella • USA 1999 • 2h19m • Digital • English and
Italian with English subtitles • 15 - Contains infrequent strong
language and violence.
Cast: Matt Damon, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow, Cate Blanchett,
Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Shot in glorious monochrome ‘Scope, the big screen
version of Highsmith’s The Blunderer from director Claude
Autant-Lara and his regular screenwriters Jean Aurenche
and Pierre Bost stars a pre-Goldfinger Gert Fröbe as boorish
bookseller Melchior Kimmel. After seeming to escape
justice for killing his wife, Kimmel comes to the attention
of philandering husband Walter Saccard (Maurice Ronet).
When the Saccard’s own spouse Clara (Yvonne Furneaux)
comes to a tragic end, the police are quick to link the two
deaths.
After the Oscar®-laden success of his Michael Ondaatje
adaptation The English Patient, Anglo-Italian filmmaker
Anthony Minghella tackled a very different literary source
- the book that first introduced the character of Tom Ripley
(‘I loved the tone of the novel’ he said, ‘airless, alienated,
uncomfortable, claustrophobic, lonely and also quite
harsh.’) Casting Matt Damon as the protagonist opposite
Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow, Minghella sought to be
more faithful to the original text than Clément’s Plein Soleil,
a film he nonetheless keenly admired.

Wim Wenders • West Germany/France 1977 • 2h5m • Digital

Cast: Dennis Hopper, Bruno Ganz, Gérard Blain, Lisa Kreuzer,

New German Cinema auteur Wim Wenders followed up
his acclaimed road movie trilogy (Alice in the Cities, Wrong
Move, Kings of The Road) with an adaptation of Ripley’s
Game, the third of Highsmith’s five Ripley novels. Also
incorporating strands of earlier book Ripley Under Ground,
The American Friend sees the protagonist (broodingly
played by counter-culture icon Dennis Hopper) involve
terminally ill picture framer Jonathan Zimmerman (Bruno
Ganz) in an underworld murder plot.

Highsmith’s seventh novel This Sweet Sickness was first
adapted for TV as part of The Alfred Hitchcock Hour in
1962. Fifteen years later came the first film version by
director Claude Miller (Garde à Vue, The Little Thief). It
features a boyish Gérard Depardieu - still fresh from acting
opposite Robert De Niro in Bernardo Bertolucci’s 1900 - as
David, an accountant hopelessly obsessed with a woman
he has carried a torch for since his youth but who’s now
married to another man.

Sculpting Time - Andrei Tarkovsky
MIRROR
NOSTALGIA
Sculpting Time
One of world’s most visionary, celebrated
and influential filmmakers, Andrei Tarkovsky
made just seven features before his tragically
early death at the age of 54. Characterised
by metaphysical and spiritual explorations of
the human condition, each film is an artistic
masterpiece of extraordinary visual beauty
and stand as enduring classics of world
cinema.
Screening from pristine new digital prints,
the Russian auteur’s seven films will be
screening at Belmont Filmhouse. Sculpting
Time will examine these classic titles
through a contemporary lens, introducing
new audiences to these timeless cinematic
landmarks.

Cast: Margarita Terekhova, Oleg Yankovsky, Filipp Yankovsky, Ignat
Daniltsev, Nikolai Grinko.
Tarkovsky’s non-narrative, stream of consciousness
autobiographical film-poem blends scenes of childhood
memory with newsreel footage and contemporary scenes
examining the narrator’s relationships with his mother,
his ex-wife and his son. The intensity of the childhood
scenes in particular is so hypnotic that questions of the
film’s alleged impenetrability dissolve under the impact
of moment after moment of the most visually stunning,
rhythmically captivating filmmaking imaginable.

We follow a musicologist, Gortchakov (Oleg Yankovskiy),
during a research trip to Italy where the composer he’s
studying lived for several years. Gortchakov is apparently
oblivious to his beautiful translator and the wonders of
Italy, instead dwelling on memories of Russia. Things start
to change when he encounters Domenico, a somewhat
unstable man who has kept his family locked up for seven
years while waiting the end of the world. Domenico has
now decided that rather than wait he should do something
about the end; and he’s decided Gortchakov should help.

Cast: Erland Josephson, Susan Fleetwood, Valérie Mairesse, Allan
Edwall.
In a house on the south Swedish coast, a retired actor and
critic (Erland Josephson) holds court over an unfaithful
wife (Susan Fleetwood), a moody daughter, an unpleasant
doctor (the wife’s lover), and various other eccentrics.
Midway through their peculiar meditations, the unthinkable
happens - an announcement of doom from the TV, and the
end of the world is nigh. The man then makes a pact with
the Almighty that he will sacrifice himself, and all that he is,
if only the world is restored to its former condition.
Andrew Dominik • UK 2016 • 1h15m • Digital • 18 (tbc)
Documentary
A unique one night only cinema event directed by Andrew
Dominik (Killing Them Softly), One More Time With
Feeling will be the first ever opportunity anyone will have
to hear Skeleton Tree, the sixteenth studio album from
Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds. The film will screen in cinemas
across the world on 8th September 2016, immediately prior
to the release of Skeleton Tree the following day.
Originally a performance based concept, One More Time
With Feeling evolved into something much more significant
as Dominik delved into the tragic backdrop of the writing
and recording of the album. Interwoven throughout the
Bad Seeds’ filmed performance of the new album are
interviews and footage shot by Dominik, accompanied by
Cave’s narration and improvised rumination.

After a storm, Tuesday and his friends wake up to find a

Wily and audacious Mr. Fox loses his tail to the loathsome
trio of exploitative farmers, Boggis, Bunce and Bean, one
fat, one short, one lean. Mr. Fox is no saint himself, having
been a flourishing chicken thief until times grew risky, a
secret kept from upright Mrs. Fox. Facing subterranean
incarceration, he mobilises his fellow creatures under siege
to rise up against the brutish farmers. Wes Anderson’s
retelling visualises Dahl’s classic tale with wicked panache
and psychedelic dazzle through idiosyncratic stopanimation and set design.

With the voices of Michael Keaton, Susan Egan, Cary Elwes.
Danny DeVito • USA 1996 • 1h38m • Digital • PG
Cast: Mara Wilson, Danny DeVito, Rhea Perlman, Embeth Davidtz,
Pam Ferris.
In early 1930s Italy air pirates, bounty hunters and high
fliers of all sorts rule the skies. The most cunning and
skilled of these is Porco Rosso, a former ace cursed to look
like a pig after his squadron was mysteriously wiped out.
Defeated in a dogfight he takes refuge in a hangar near
Milan, preparing to battle his rival once and for all. This
Studio Ghibli classic has parallels to Dahl’s short story They
Shall Not Grow Old.
The grouchy no-hoper Wormwoods are parents to a very
sweet girl, Matilda, who also happens to be a genius.
Ignored at home and left to her own devices, she soon
digests the entire contents of the local library before being
sent to Crunchem Hall, a nightmarish school headed by the
sadistic Miss Trunchbull. It’s here that her abilities come to
the fore, her brain power and telekinetic powers attracting
the attention of sweet and warm-natured rose amongst
thorns Miss Honey.
Also screening as part of Studio Ghibli Forever - a full
retrospective of their beautiful work - see pages 12-15.

when his parents are killed by a rogue rhinoceros and he
goes to live with his two horrid aunts. Daringly saving the
life of a spider he comes into possession of magic boiled
crocodile tongues, after which an enormous peach starts
growing in the garden. Venturing inside he meets not only
the spider but a number of new friends including a lovely
ladybird and sarcastic centipede who help him with his plan
to try to get to New York City. A fond and fruitful tribute to
the cranky genius of Dahl.
Special screening with Scratch ‘n Sniff cards to be used in
key scenes - including fresh pancakes, chocolate cake and
stinky fish paste sandwiches!

The Musketeers) also features in Carrie Cracknell’s critically
acclaimed new production.
A flat in Ladbroke Grove, West London. 1952.
When Hester Collyer is found by her neighbours in

her tempestuous affair with a former RAF pilot and the
breakdown of her marriage to a High Court judge begins
to emerge.
With it comes a portrait of need, loneliness and longrepressed passion. Behind the fragile veneer of post-war

Education and Learning
Opportunities for Learning
At Belmont Filmhouse, schools can engage with a variety of films which support moving
image literacy including documentaries, animations, foreign language films as well as more
mainstream cinema. We screen a diverse range of films for both primary and secondary
pupils, supporting a variety of teaching areas including Literacy, Modern Languages,
Expressive Arts, Social Studies, Global Citizenship, RMPS, Art and Media Studies.
Autumn Season Films for Schools
Look out for an exciting season of screenings for schools coming soon. There will be films
across genres and from across the globe to enthuse and motivate learning. Here are some of
the highlights…
September: Take One Action - showcasing inspiring stories that comment on issues of global
concern.
October:Spanish Film Festival - including La Novia, based on Lorca’s Blood wedding.
November: Into Film Festival – ‘putting film at the heart of children and young people’s
learning.’ French Film Festival – ‘The only festival of francophone films in the UK.’
December: German Film Focus – ‘a Scotland-wide event featuring innovative, inspiring and
challenging films by Germany-based directors.’
There will also be screening of Romeo & Juliet with a guest speaker to celebrate
Shakespeare400 and of course we will be celebrating Roald Dahl’s 100th birthday with some
great film versions of his writing. Schools screenings are normally scheduled to begin at
10.00am. Tickets (unless otherwise stated) are only £3.00 for pupils, teachers go free.
Schools Education Discount
Year-round Belmont Filmhouse offers a diverse programme of films that will enrich all areas
of the curriculum. Should you wish to bring a group for a film in our public programme
we can offer at least 25% discount for groups of ten or more. This discount will apply to
concession price tickets for pupils and full price tickets for accompanying adults and must be
paid for at least 24 hours in advance.
We hope that this discount will allow more flexibility for schools and groups to attend some
of the wide range of films we offer as public screenings.
