Oh no, it’s that month again!
August. When the world descends on our fair city and everyone seeks their cultural nourishment
elsewhere. Well, not quite everyone, but fo’ sure we find ourselves a little… quieter. August in
Edinburgh is not a boom time for cinema outside of mainstream entertainments, and that is
why we have put together a programme of films you may well find impossible to ignore. Turn
these pages at your peril! And if you don’t come here for whatever bizarre reason – like you have
something better to do? There is nothing better to do! – you’re only going to feel as if you’ve
missed out on something. Trust me. Here’s some of the why…
Pedro Almodóvar films don’t come around that often. To be more precise, every 2 or 3 years,
usually released on the last Friday in August – I’ll say one thing for the UK film industry: if it
worked once, they stick with it! Julieta is no exception, and it’s a triumphant return to the
female-centric storytelling wherein lies the man’s greatest acclaim. Studio Ghibli Forever
showcases 12 of their very best, including early classics such as Only Yesterday and Nausicaä of the
Valley of the Wind; and our quite frankly marvellous Adapting Miss Highsmith season concludes
with rare screenings of some classic French – and some wonderful TV – adaptations.
Lastly, since we changed the shape of this publication last month, we have been in receipt of a
few suggestions to improve the new format. We’re taking heed of those and making the changes
where appropriate – but one thing that no-one has mentioned, strangely and shatteringly, is that
it’s a bad thing that I get less room to write this. Yeah, thanks guys...

The third edition of the EIFF Short Film Challenge will
screen the ten best submitted films from across
Scotland. Join our guest jury to see work from the
most exciting new and emerging filmmakers around
at this free screening! Best Film and Most
Promising Filmmaker awards to be presented.

Scotland. Most Promising Filmmaker award in
partnership with the Saltire Society.
Cast: Jodie Whittaker, Lorraine Ashbourne, Alice Lowe, Ozzy Myers.
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.

Fri 12 to Mon 15 Aug
Robert Budreau • UK/Canada/USA 2015 • 1h38m • Digital
15 - Contains strong language, sex, violence, drug misuse.
Nicolas Winding Refn • France/USA/Denmark 2016 • 1h50m • Digital
18 - Contains strong bloody images, necrophilia, sexual assault
Cast: Ethan Hawke, Carmen Ejogo, Callum Keith Rennie, Tony Nappo.
Cast: Elle Fanning, Betha Heathcote, Christina Hendricks.
Witty and energetic imagining of the life of Chet
Baker. 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 Ahead, Budreau’s film seamlessly blends
biography with engaging fiction and finds a keen
balance between darkness and humour.
Jesse (Elle Fanning), a young aspiring model, quickly
begins to turn heads following her arrival in Los
Angeles. Thrust into stardom, at the expense of other
models, she inhabits a world fuelled by narcissism,
sex and violent intent. Nicolas Winding Refn (Only
God Forgives, Drive) continues to divisively push the
envelope, and his intoxicating blend of glittering
visuals and lingering threat are bolstered by another
masterful electronic score from Cliff Martinez.
NEW RELEASE
Maggie’s Plan
Rebecca Miller • USA 2015 • 1h38m • Digital • 15 - Contains strong
language.
Cast: Greta Gerwig, Ethan Hawke, Julianne Moore, Bill Hader.
Pregnant New Yorker Maggie (Greta Gerwig) falls for
married John (Ethan Hawke), whose relationship with
Georgette (Julianne Moore) is on the rocks. Some
years later, however, Maggie finds herself falling out
of love and hatches a “perfect plan” to reunite the
marriage she helped destroy...
A delightfully funny and cleverly interweaving story
of mis-matched relationships, centred around the
hapless love triangle between the independent
Maggie, self-centred John and his intellectually
intimidating Danish ex.

Alex Cox • UK 1986 • 1h51m • Digital • 18 - Contains very strong
language, strong violence and hard drug use.
Steven Spielberg • USA 2011 • 2h26m • Digital • English and German
with English subtitles • 12A
Cast: Gary Oldman, Chloe Webb, David Hayman, Andrew Schofield.
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...
Based on the best-selling play, War Horse is the story
of Albert and his trusty thoroughbred horse Joey.
After being separated at the start of World War I, Joey
is captured by the Germans and Albert becomes
temporarily blinded by gas. After the Armistice is
signed will they be able to reunite?
Screening as part of a four-year series of films,
programmed in association with the University of
Edinburgh, that relate to the First World War, some
timed to coincide with the real events of 100 years
ago and others which are not tied to specific dates.

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...

The crew of the USS Enterprise, halfway into their

Ingrid Bergman
in Her Own Words
Fri 19 to Mon 22 Aug
Stig Björkman • Sweden 2015 • 1h54m • Digital • Swedish and English
with English subtitles • PG • Documentary
Cast: Robert Pattinson, Bérénice Bejo, Liam Cunningham.
Set against the backdrop of the 1919 Paris peace
conference that led to the Treaty of Versailles, Brady
Corbet’s directorial debut is a tautly drawn drama
that juxtaposes the rise of fascism in context of an
apparently angelic young boy’s tantrums and power
struggles with his parents and carers in a large
country house. At the heart of the film is 10 year-old
Tom Sweet as the manipulative boy Prescott, tussling
with his parents, played by Bérénice Bejo and Liam
Cunningham.
Going 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
stardom, her magnificent and notorious romances
and her adulthood as an international icon, the film
is a testament to Bergman as a pioneer, mother and
icon. See the best of Ingrid in our Bergman season more info on pages 26-27.

Lynne Ramsay • UK/France 1999 • 1h33m • 35mm • 15
Josh Kriegman, Elyse Steinberg • USA 2016 • 1h36m • Digital
15 - Contains strong language, sex reference • Documentary
Growing Pains shows films dealing with some of the more complex
aspects of childhood. All films followed by an informal chat and will
be introduced by Jessie Moroney, a member of the programming
team who attended the Practical Programming course with the
Independent Cinema Office, which assists participants to develop a
fresh programme for their venues.
12-year-old James is living through the 1970s
garbage strikes in an impoverished Glasgow
neighborhood. Emotionally estranged from his family
due to a fatal accident he secretly feels responsible
for, James’ increasingly introverted state is alleviated
by a friendship with two young individuals whose
naivety in spite of their austere reality allows them to
drift into a dreamworld of their own.
The winner of the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance Film
Festival, this strangely engrossing behind-the-scenes
documentary follows the increasingly catastrophic
campaign of former U.S. Representative Anthony
Weiner as he runs for Mayor of New York in 2013.
Having previously been entangled in a disastrous,
career-stalling sex scandal, another one seems almost
inevitable as Weiner negotiates a dizzying array of
public appearances, press scrums and campaign
meetings - with the filmmakers present all the way.

Julieta
Pedro Almodóvar • Spain 2016 • 1h39m • Digital • Spanish with English subtitles • 15 - Contains strong sex.
Cast: Emma Suárez, Adriana Ugarte, Inma Cuesta, Michelle Jenner, Daniel Grao.
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
guilt-ridden 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.

The story of sixty women from Syria, all forced into

Armando (Alfredo Castro) is 50 years old and spends

paying them simply for company. When he meets 17
year old gang leader Elder (Luis Silva) and negotiates
a price, a complex relationship begins between

drama and gang thriller, while foregrounding this
delicate bond between a troubled man and a
youthful hustler.

A sweeping season of Studio Ghibli - from the legendary Japanese animation house’s humble

Hayao Miyazaki • Japan 1984 • 1h56m • Digital • Japanese with
English subtitles • PG - Contains mild violence, scary scenes
Set centuries in the future in a world almost
swallowed by a polluted forest full of giant insects.
The titular heroine is a gentle, courageous girl whose
peaceful country is caught up in a conflict between
greater powers. The wind-riding Nausicaä remains
one of the most popular animated characters in
Japan.
My Neighbour Totoro
Laputa: Castle in the Sky
Tenku no Shiro Laputa
Fri 5 to Wed 10 Aug (select dates only)

Two children - Sheeta and Pazu - set off on a
dangerous treasure hunt for the legendary flying
castle, Laputa. Also chasing the treasure are a gang
of airborne pirates and a sinister government agent...
The spectacular aerial battles, flying contraptions
and warrior robots make this one of Studio Ghibli’s
most beautiful and exhilarating adventures!
Grave of the Fireflies

Mon 8 to Thu 11 Aug

Tue 9 to Fri 12 Aug (select dates only)
English subtitles • U - Contains infrequent mild scary scenes.
Isao Takahata • Japan 1988 • 1h29m • Digital • Japanese with English
subtitles • 12A - Contains moderate war horror.
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.
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 fire-bomb 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
Majo no takkyūbin
Thu 11 to Sat 13 Aug
Omoide Poroporo
Sat 13 to Tue 16 Aug
English subtitles • U - Contains mild peril
subtitles • PG - Contains references to puberty.
Following tradition, 13 year-old Kiki must leave
home and support herself for a year. Kiki is a witch,
complete with broomstick and talking cat. 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.
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.

A young warrior is cursed by a demon. His search

invaders. The gods’ champion is San, an abandoned
girl raised by wolves. With samurai swordfights and
a showdown with the gods, Princess Mononoke
echoes John Ford westerns as much as Kurosawa.
10-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 at a food stand, Chihiro goes exploring.
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.

UK PREMIERE
Harry Benson: Shoot First
Fri 12 Aug at 6.00pm
Justin Bare, Matthew Miele • USA 2016 • 2h8m • Digital • 12A • Documentary
This new documentary offers a captivating survey of the life and work of Harry Benson CBE, the Scots-born
photographer who captured some of the most iconic moments in the 20th Century. Much of what we know
today about many famous musicians, politicians and actors is due to the work of the man whose vibrant and
intimate photos of The Beatles and many others have become instantly recognisable touch points in our
popular culture.
Benson’s astonishingly extensive portfolio includes iconic photos of Muhammad Ali, Winston Churchill, the fall
of the Berlin Wall, the civil rights movement in America, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, Bobby Fischer, Greta Garbo,
Michael Jackson and the Robert F. Kennedy assassination, not to mention every American President since
Eisenhower. Benson’s wide-ranging work has appeared in publications such as Life, Vanity Fair and the New
Yorker. Now aged 86, Harry Benson CBE is still taking photographs and has no intention of stopping.
With running commentary by Benson himself, the film features appearances by a range of his subjects
including Sharon Stone, Alec Baldwin, Donald Trump, Dan Rather, James L. Brooks, Henry Kissinger, Ralph
Lauren, Joe Namath and many others.
After the film there will be an on-stage discussion with Harry Benson CBE in person, hosted by the
Scottish Parliament’s Deputy Presiding Officer Linda Fabiani MSP.
This unique event will coincide with the Harry Benson: Seeing America exhibition on display at the
Scottish Parliament from 12 August to 3 December 2016. More information on this FREE exhibition can be
found at www.parliament.scot/visitandlearn/98066.aspx

U.S. Politics in Film
The next few months promise high political drama as the race for the White House heats up, in what
has proved a uniquely unpredictable and interesting U.S. election year. There’s a long history of great
filmmaking about U.S. elections, and about American politics more generally. Over the coming weeks
we’ll be working in partnership with The Scottish Parliament’s Festival of Politics and the University of
Edinburgh, with the support of the U.S. Consulate General Edinburgh, to present some of the highlights
of this tradition.
Each screening will be followed by a discussion about the film and the issues it raises. Guests will include
politicians and others working in frontline politics, as well as scholars and commentators. We’ll launch
the series on 17 August by screening Hegedus and Pennebaker’s masterful documentary The War Room.
Full listings for U.S. Politics in Film, running at Filmhouse through November, will appear in the
September issue of our brochure.
The War Room
Wed 17 Aug at 6.05pm
Chris Hegedus, DA Pennebaker • USA 1993 • 1h36m • 35mm • PG • Documentary
Given unprecedented access, documentary filmmakers D.A. Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus follow part of
the 1992 Clinton campaign for President of the U.S.A. During the New Hampshire primary, the campaign hits
some stumbling blocks, chief among them the Gennifer Flowers scandal, but nevertheless manages to pull
out a second-place finish. From there strategists George Stephanopoulos and James Carville return to the
national campaign headquarters in Little Rock to monitor the remaining duration of the campaign.
Taking place on the eve of the Festival of Politics which takes place at the Scottish Parliament, the
Parliament’s Presiding Officer Ken Macintosh MSP will chair a 20 minute post-film discussion with US
pollsters and political strategists for the Democratic and Republican parties, Jason Boxt and Robert
Moran. They will discuss the factual accuracy of the Clinton campaign portrayed in the documentary
and examine the development of Presidential campaigns from the 1990s to the current day. Both Jason
and Robert will be appearing at the Festival of Politics on Saturday 20 August to discuss ‘Who Will Win
America’. Tickets for the Festival of Politics can be booked at www.festivalofpolitics.scot

5 AUG 16 - 1 SEP 16 | 21
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 season showcases
the very best of them…
Double Bill: Annabel
+ This Sweet Sickness
Sun 7 Aug at 3.10pm
Annabel
From TV’s The Alfred Hitchcock Hour
The Talented Mr Ripley
Wed 10 & Thu 11 Aug
Anthony Minghella • USA 1999 • 2h19m • Digital • English and Italian
15 - Contains infrequent strong language and violence.
Cast: Matt Damon, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow, Cate Blanchett.
Paul Henreid • USA 1962 • 48m • Digital
Scripted by Robert (Psycho) Bloch, this
heavily-adapted version of Highsmith’s This Sweet
Sickness makes for a deliciously dark tale of
unrequited love and obsession, featuring a couple of
splendid performances.
This Sweet Sickness
Dites-lui que je l’aime
Claude Miller • France 1977 • 1h47m • Digital • French with English
subtitles • cert tbc • Cast: Gérard Depardieu, Miou-Miou, Claude
Piéplu, Jacques Denis, Dominique Laffin, Christian Clavier.
Fifteen years after Annabel 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.
This Sweet Sickness will also screen individually
from Fri 5 Aug to Sun 7 Aug, for times see page 18.
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. 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.

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.
Enough Rope will also screen individually on Fri 19

A Curious Suicide
Tue 30 Aug to Thu 1 Sep
Wim Wenders • West Germany/France 1977 • 2h5m • Digital •

An EPISODE OF TV SERIES Mistress of Suspense
Cast: Dennis Hopper, Bruno Ganz, Gérard Blain, Lisa Kreuzer.
Robert Bierman • UK/France 1990 • 50m • Format TBC
Cast: Nicol Williamson, Jane Lapotaire.
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.
An American doctor visits an old friend with revenge
on his mind. But some people aren’t cut out for
murder...
The Cry of the Owl
Le cri du hibou
Claude Chabrol • France/Italy 1987 • 1h42m • Digital • French with
English subtitles • 15 • Cast: Christophe Malavoy, Mathilda May,
Jacques Penot, Jean-Pierre 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 Infidèle, 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.
The Cry of the Owl will also screen individually from
Fri 26 Aug to Sun 28 Aug, for times see page 20.

The remarkable and turbulent career of film and
TV director Antonia Bird - the first British woman to
direct a Hollywood movie, who died in 2013. This
film explores her work and battles to break down the
barriers against her gender and her politics, and to
bring a radical edge to popular drama.
The screening will be introduced by director
Susan Kemp, who will take part in a Q&A hosted
by Jane Sillars, Programme Director - MSc in Film,
Exhibition and Curation, University of Edinburgh.

Bird’s first film for TV follows the harrowing and
violent lives of two homeless youngsters. Gypo
(Aidan Gillen) is disturbed and dependent on his
relationship with Kaz (Kate Hardie), who is living on
the streets to escape a deeply troubled home life.
The screening will be introduced by filmmaker,
writer and Antonia Bird collaborator Mark Cousins,
who will also take part in a post-screening
discussion with Alchemy Film & Arts Producer,
freelance critic and EIFF Programmer Harriet
Warman. The discussion will include Antonia
Bird’s many unmade films, and will feature a first
ever public reading of segments of her unmade,
Edinburgh-set film, The Meat Trade, as well as some
of her correspondence.
Heart-rending, BAFTA-winning drama about a young
man struggling to piece his life together after years
of childhood abuse in a children’s home and how he
learns, despite his best efforts, that he can’t escape
his past, nor a crusading media determined to make
it public knowledge.

Cast: Guy Pearce, Robert Carlyle, David Arquette, Neal McDonough.
Captain John Boyd (Guy Pearce), an inadvertant hero
during the Mexican-American War, is re-assigned
to a remote military outpost in the Sierra Nevada
mountains. One day, a stranger (Robert Carlyle)
approaches, claiming to have been lost in the
mountains, at which point his party survived
through cannibalism. The ensuing search party
becomes a dark journey into the brutal, supernatural
‘Wendigo’ myth - in which consuming the dead
allows one to inherit their power...
Cast: Robert Carlyle, Ray Winstone, Lena Headley, Philip Davis,
Damon Albarn.
Disillusioned ex-socialist Ray (Robert Carlyle) is
released from prison and plans one last major bank
heist with a selection of other washed-up
associates including Dave (Ray Winstone), Stevie
(Steven Waddington) and Jason (a debuting Damon
Albarn). Following the robbery, it doesn’t take long
before the deep-rooted regrets and anxieties within
this ragtag group begin to surface...

Antonia Bird • UK 1994 • 1h38m • Digital • 15
Cast: Karim Saleh, Maral Kamel, Agni Scott, Omar Berdouni.
A skilfully directed, understated dramatisation of the
events of 11 September 2001, released just three
years after their occurrence, The Hamburg Cell was
billed as the first coherent attempt to bring these
events to the screen. Instead of centring on the
leader of the group, Mohamed Atta (Kamel Boutros),
Bird’s film focuses on Ziad Jarrah (Karim Saleh),
a young student who gradually becomes more
intensely involved with the radical fundamentalists
at his German university.
Cast: Linus Roache, Tom Wilkinson, Robert Carlyle, Lesley Sharp,
Cathy Tyson.
Cracker creator/writer Jimmy McGovern wrote the
script for Antonia Bird’s provocative and deeply
timely cinematic feature debut, which assaults the
ethics of the Catholic church. Linus Roache plays
Father Greg Pilkington, a deeply conflicted priest of
a Liverpool parish who harbours secret homosexual
desires and must decide between morality or church
regulations when confided in by a desperate young
girl.

Ingrid Bergman
Inspired by Stig Björkman’s new
documentary Ingrid Bergman in Her Own
Words (page 7), this month we present
four of Ingrid Bergman’s finest and most
memorable performances.
Spanning thirty-six years and directed by
four of the true greats - Michael Curtiz,
Alfred Hitchcock, Roberto Rossellini and
Ingmar Bergman - these films demonstrate
just how in-demand her talents were to
filmmakers of the highest calibre.
So join us as we celebrate Ingrid Bergman, a
silver screen icon and a woman who remains
an enduring figure in cinema history, as time
goes by...
Notorious
Thu 25 & Fri 26 Aug
Alfred Hitchcock • USA 1946 • 1h42m • Digital • U - Contains mild sex
references and threat
Cast: Cary Grant, Ingrid Bergman, Claude Rains, Louis Calhern,
Leopoldine Konstantin.
A US agent (Cary Grant) plies his charm on an
executed traitor’s tormented, alcoholic daughter
(Ingrid Bergman) until she makes up to a German
friend and admirer (Claude Rains) suspected of
consorting with Nazis in Brazil. Undercover work,
starting with guilt, desire and idealism, proceeds
to betrayal, (partly self-)loathing and still murkier
emotions. A dark love story which rivals, in terms of
its bitter overtones, even Hitchcock’s later Vertigo.
Casablanca
Tue 23 & Wed 24 Aug
Michael Curtiz • USA 1942 • 1h42m • Digital • U
Cast: Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Claude Rains, Paul
Henreid, Sydney Greenstreet.
The world’s favourite Hollywood love story.
Humphrey Bogart is at his best as Rick, an American
opportunist in 1940 French Morocco with a gruffly
cynical exterior that belies his wary idealism and
wounded heart. Ingrid Bergman is luminous as Ilsa,
who arrives in Casablanca with resistance leader
Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid), but clearly has a history
with Rick. Cynicism and self-interest contend with
idealism and self-sacrifice as Rick and Ilsa’s past
weighs against the world’s future.
Journey to Italy
Viaggio in Italia
Sun 28 to Mon 29 Aug
Roberto Rossellini • Italy/France 1954 • 1h26m • Digital • English and
Italian with English subtitles • PG - Contains mild sex references
Cast: Ingrid Bergman, George Sanders, Maria Mauban.
Hailed as one of the finest films ever made and
recognised as one of Rossellini’s most masterful
works, Journey to Italy is a deceptively simple
portrait of a marriage in crisis. Ingrid Bergman and
George Sanders play a quiet English couple who
travel to Naples seeking a buyer for a property that
has been left to them by a relative. Separated from
the social whirl and hectic days of their London
life, they are forced to confront a relationship that
has crumbled into weariness, mistrust and mutual
disdain.

Bergman meets Bergman - at last. Early friction on
set in Norway almost torpedoed this comeback
for Ingmar, but in the end marks a triumph for
Ingrid, as a concert pianist forced to recognise her
wilful egotism. The Chopin sequence, with first Liv
Ullmann and then Ingrid Bergman playing the A
Minor Prelude, ranks among the finest in Ingmar
Bergman’s distinguished filmography.

With the voices of Michael Keaton, Susan Egan, Cary Elwes.
Based on Roald Dahl’s classic, this quirky

his wife that he would give up a life of henhouse
robbery when their son was born. After years of
going straight, Mr. Fox longs for the thrill of the
perfect crime, and begins planning one last job...
In the skies over the Adriatic in the 1920s, the
greatest fighter ace is...a pig? Miyazaki’s nonchalant hero shuns society and his own courageous
past, but still inspires those around him. A
stunning fantasy interlude was drawn from Roald
Dahl’s aviation stories.

Multi award-winning screenwriter and producer
Ronald D. Moore is the creative force behind some of
the biggest and most loved franchises in television
history: Battlestar Galactica, not one but three
Star Trek franchises and currently the acclaimed
Outlander.
Offering an intriguing perspective from the point
of view of both showrunner and writer, Ronald
will provide fascinating insight into what it takes
to bring compelling sci-fi stories, characters and
worlds to devoted audiences, as well as revealing
the challenges and motivations he has faced along
the way and introduce us to his new venture, Electric
Dreams: The World of Philip K. Dick.
Red Dwarf writer, director and co-creator, Doug
Naylor joins SFX magazine editor Richard Edwards
in a Q&A after the exclusive screening of the first
episode of the new series.
The show’s six episode run sees two of the Dwarfers’
dreams come true: Rimmer accidentally saves the
life of a Space Corps Captain and is promoted to
Officer, while Cat takes time off from being in love
with himself to fall in love with a female Cat with
a secret... Meantime, Lister wakes up to discover a
deranged droid has stolen some of his body parts
and Kryten has a mid-life crisis and considers leaving
the Dwarfers for a younger crew.
Chaired by editor of SFX magazine Richard Edwards.
The posse also find themselves in an alternative
America where modern technology is outlawed,
making both Kryten and Rimmer illegal. With big
laughs and dazzling effects, Red Dwarf XI recaptures
the show’s golden age.

series creators, Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais, the
one-off special will air in September on BBC One as

Nearly 40 years after his grandfather served his time,

Creator and executive producer Simon Donald and

of the highly anticipated new series.
After last year, Fortitude will never be the same
again. The community is doing their best to keep
going. They’ve wiped out any trace of the wasps the source of the contamination - but residents are
still leaving and the mainland is trying to suffocate
the town by cutting off its funding and supplies.
Those who stay are doing so because their life is
here and they wouldn’t have it any other way - this
is, after all, still the most staggeringly beautiful place
on earth and many still feel the thrill and the wonder
of it all. People are still falling in love and flourishing
despite it all. But out in the wilderness, nature is
growing ever more restless, more unpredictable,
more dangerous. And the very sky itself has turned
red - it’s called a Blood Aurora - and the omens are
not good at all.
