Introduction
BIG EYES
2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY
THE IMITATION GAME
IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE
Seasons greetings...
One of our fine and most regular of patrons – we’ll call her Morag, to either protect the innocent or name the guilty – has been in touch to suggest I
name this column ‘Rod’s Rant’, so prone am I to ‘going off on one’ in the prosecution of it. She meant it as a compliment and a bit of fun, I’m sure... I’d never
thought of it as a rant as such, and so looked back to see where that impression might have come from and, you know what, ‘Morag’ is probably right
(though I do prefer to think of the instances of such more as one in an occasional series of gentle reminders that Filmhouse’s existence relies so heavily on
your continued support, and to help you make informed decisions as to which cinema establishment is deserving of your patronage [Yeah, okay, we get
the message. - Ed.]). Last month, and I think it was this that must have triggered the communication mentioned above, I explained that film-wise we can’t
always get what we want when we want it, and you may or may not have guessed that The Imitation Game, playing from 12 December, was one of those
films we could not (oops, I’m doing it again!) secure on its release. I’m hoping you’ve been waiting and will come and see it here…
The holiday season is upon us once again, so we’re all getting prepared to endure the usual round of Grinch-like grumblings about the ‘damnable
compulsory jollity’ of it all from one of our number in the office... But, like us, pay them no heed, wallow in it, and metaphorically rub their face in it by
coming to see one (or more!) of the seasonal classics we have lined up this year, including the inconceivable-without It’s a Wonderful Life, the equally
essential The Muppet Christmas Carol, The Bishop’s Wife, and, in exceedingly timely fashion, Joyeux Noël, on the 100th anniversary of the ‘game-of-footyin-no-man’s-land’ depicted therein.
Our big release of the month comes on Boxing Day, and it’s Tim Burton’s Big Eyes, which tells the incredible true story of artist Margaret Keane (Amy
Adams), whose husband Walter (Christoph Waltz) claimed credit for her massively popular paintings of big-eyed children, for decades. A grown-up,
imaginative fable… and vintage Burton. Stanley Kubrick’s masterpiece, 2001: A Space Odyssey, has been digitally mastered for the first time and gets the
re-release treatment, screening here from 5 December; The Grandmaster is arthouse darling Wong Kar Wai’s dazzling, expressionistic character study of
legendary kung-fu master, Ip Man; and, from Germany, one of the hits of EIFF 2014, Stations of the Cross gets a much-deserved cinema release.
Tying in with our chums at Edinburgh’s Hogmanay as we often do, we’ve a host of great films set in
Scotland for your delectation; and there’s also a trio of Jacques Tati’s early marvels, Jour de fête,
Monsieur Hulot’s Holiday and Mon Oncle. N’est-ce pas fantastique!
Lastly, I want to thank you all for your support in 2014, and I hope we’ve done enough to warrant
the same in 2015. Looking at films coming up in early 2015, I think we’ll be seeing you sooner in
the New Year, rather than later… I do hope so.
Have a good one!
Rod White, Head of Filmhouse
We are currently undergoing some building
works to upgrade our kitchen and bar storage
areas. There may be some occasional noise
disruption and access issues to Cinemas 2 and
3 during these works; this is also the reason
there are no early matinee screenings most
days. Please accept our apologies for any
inconvenience, and be assured we are working

Winner of the Palme d’Or at Cannes, Winter Sleep is the
new film from Turkish master Nuri Bilge Ceylan (Once
Upon a Time in Anatolia, Three Monkeys). Inspired by
several short stories by Anton Chekhov, Winter Sleep is
set in Anatolia, in the stunning Cappadocia region where
homes are carved into the volcanic rock. It is here that
Aydin, a former actor, runs a small hotel with his young
wife Nihal, with whom he has a stormy relationship, and
his recently-divorced sister Necla. As winter arrives and
the snow begins to fall, the guests leave and lingering
resentments come to the surface in the hotel and beyond.
Strikingly beautiful and with incisive dialogue, Winter Sleep
is another milestone in Ceylan’s ongoing, illuminating
exploration of the human condition.
Yi dai zong shi
A dazzling, melancholy martial arts film from master
director Wong Kar Wai.
China, 1936. It’s the eve of the Japanese invasion and
China is in turmoil, with the country’s south teetering on
the brink of partition from the north. The paths of two
kung fu masters, Ip Man (Tony Leung) and Gong Er (Zhang
Ziyi), cross at a gathering at legendary brothel the Golden
Pavilion, where a retirement ceremony for Gong Er’s father
is to be held.
Filmed in a range of stunning locations, The Grandmaster
features virtuoso performances by some of the greatest
stars of contemporary Asian cinema, and stunning fight
choreography by the renowned Yuen Wo Ping (The Matrix,
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon).

Rolf de Heer • Australia 2013 • 1h48m
DCP • 15 – Contains strong language
Cast: David Gulpilil, Peter Djigirr, Luke Ford, Bobby Bunungurr,
Jennifer Budukpuduk Gaykamangu.
The great Australian actor David Gulpilil (Walkabout,
Ten Canoes) won the Best Actor prize at Cannes’ Un
Certain Regard for his majestic performance in this semiautobiographical drama, about an aged Aborigine who
journeys into the Outback to live in the traditional ways of
his ancestors.
Charlie (Gulpilil) lives in a remote Aboriginal community
in northern Australia, where government intervention in
the culture’s traditional way of life has left many of the
residents, Charlie included, feeling powerless to control
their destinies. When his gun and hand-crafted spear are
confiscated, leaving him nothing to hunt with, Charlie
defiantly heads into the bush to live the old way. Battling
both the elements and his own ageing body, Charlie is
eventually forced back to the community and, later, to the
provincial capital of Darwin. What he finds there proves to
be just the beginning of a long road back home.

Kubrick’s groundbreaking classic, undoubtedly the most
influential science-fiction film of the 60’s, is a spellbinding
masterpiece that can still make you dizzy with wonder.
Based on the novella ‘The Sentinel’ by Arthur C Clarke,
the film quite literally changed our concept of space
and spaceships, replacing the pencil-shaped rocketships
with large constructions more commensurate with the
vastness of deep space. Famous also for its use of Strauss
(both Richard’s ‘Also Sprach Zarathustra’ and Johann’s
‘Blue Danube’), the story (such as it is) details man’s first
confrontation with a higher power (the monolith, the
representation of the mysterious force that seems to guide
man), his struggle against machines of his own making
(the unforgettable HAL 9000), and the distant future,
where man’s life cycle becomes meaningless.
In January 2013, filmmaker Laura Poitras was in the process
of constructing a film about abuses of national security in
post-9/11 America when she started receiving encrypted
e-mails from someone identifying himself as ‘citizen four’,
saying he wanted to blow the whistle on the massive
covert surveillance programs run by the NSA and other
intelligence agencies. In June 2013, she and reporter
Glenn Greenwald flew to Hong Kong for the first of many
meetings with the man who turned out to be Edward
Snowden. She took her camera with her. The film that
resulted from this series of tense encounters is absolutely
unique in the history of cinema: a 100% real-life thriller
unfolding minute by minute before our eyes.
“Alarming and essential – anyone with a phone should
see it.” - Empire
Full of remarkably powerful footage, Concerning Violence
is a challenging but ultimately illuminating look at the
struggle against colonial rule in Africa. Acclaimed director
Göran Olsson (The Black Power Mixtape 1969-1975)
assembles striking archival material of various liberation
efforts from the 60s and 70s and sets it to passages from
Frantz Fanon’s vital treatise on racism and colonialism, The
Wretched of the Earth. Actor/singer Lauryn Hill narrates
the text with passionate conviction, guiding us through a
tricky terrain of often-difficult imagery. While it may sound
simple, the images and words interact in subtle, interesting
ways, each providing a nuanced context for the other. The
result is a complex exploration of rebellion, burning with a
contemporary urgency.

Manchester after the war, but was persecuted by the UK
government for his homosexuality.
SPECIALEVENT
The Maths Behind The Imitation Game
Sun 14 Dec, 12-1pm, FREE
The Imitation Game focuses on the life of Alan Turing,
a famous British mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst,
philosopher, computer scientist, mathematical biologist
and marathon runner. In this panel discussion organised
and chaired by the University of Edinburgh, we speak to
experts in several fields about the legacy of Turing’s work
and its importance in our lives today, with a chance for the
audience to ask questions inspired by the film.
Emma Thompson wrote and stars in this polished period
drama about the mysterious relationship between
Victorian art critic John Ruskin (Greg Wise) and his teenage
Scottish bride Effie Gray (Dakota Fanning). This ill-matched
marriage, and the subsequent love triangle they formed
with pre-Raphaelite artist John Everett Millais, has been the
subject of many a work in theatre, TV and even opera, but
is here given the full cinema treatment for the first time.
Rejected physically, and without explanation, on their
wedding night and for many years beyond, the young,
convivial Effie seems doomed – given the social mores
of the time – to a life of chaste imprisonment by her
unsociable, workaholic husband. Effie, however, is a
woman of some spirit...
Dietrich Brüggemann • Germany 2014 • 1h50m
DCP • German, French and Latin with English subtitles
15 – Contains distressing scenes
Cast: Lucie Aron, Anna Brüggemann, Michael Kamp, Moritz
Knapp, Birge Schade.
Siblings Anna and Dietrich Brüggemann intend to shake
us with their film and they undeniably do. Written by both
and directed by Dietrich, this is a harrowing yet beautiful
look at Christian fanaticism.
Maria (Lea van Acken in a stunning performance) is 14,
preparing for her Confirmation in the (fictional) Priestly
Society of St Paul. The film’s title is literal, if ironic: the
narrative is divided into fourteen chapters, each named
after one of the traditional stages in depictions of Christ’s
martyrdom. With each chapter, the atmosphere of
oppression thickens, as Maria tamps down her emerging
sexuality while suffering under the yoke of her tyrannical
mother. Rigorous, subversive and profoundly moving, this
is a work of considerable power.

Fri 19 to Mon 22 Dec
In 1984, a conservative government under Prime Minister
Margaret Thatcher declared war on Britain’s unions, taking
on the strongest in the country, the National Union of
Mineworkers. Following a secret plan, the government
began announcing the closure of coal mines, threatening
not just an industry but whole communities and a way
of life.
Against all the forces the government could throw at
them, 160 000 coal miners took up the fight and became
part of a battle that would change the course of history.
Still the Enemy Within tells the story of a group of miners
and supporters who were on the front line of the strike for
an entire year. These were people that Margaret Thatcher
labelled ‘the Enemy Within’. Many of them have never
spoken on camera before.
“As gripping as any thriller.” - the Guardian
Director Steve James (Hoop Dreams) explores the impact
and legacy of Roger Ebert’s life, from his Pulitzer Prizewinning film criticism and his nearly quarter-century
run with Gene Siskel on their review show, to becoming
an influential cultural voice worldwide, and finally to his
inspiring battles with cancer and the resulting physical
disability. A poignant, candid, joyful story of life, love and
movies.

Coming-of-age films are rarely as enjoyable, or as

show, Guillaume Gallienne shows what it’s like to grow up
as a boy when everyone is convinced that you’re really a

frosty grande dame mother, Gallienne traces his life from
childhood in an aristocratic family through adventures in
Spain, ill-fated stints at boarding school and a hair-raising
spa visit to the present, when he comes out as… well,
simply as his own uncategorisable self.

how could she prove he had been deceiving the world for

When Norwegian scientist and ethnographer Thor
Heyerdahl developed the now widely accepted theory
that the peoples of Polynesia first migrated from South
America and not, as previously believed, from Asia, the
international scientific community openly mocked
him. Refusing to be deterred in his quest to prove his
hypothesis – not even by the notable fact that he could
not swim – he embarked on one of history’s most
celebrated scientific adventures. In 1947, Heyerdahl built a
raft of balsa wood and travelled across the open seas from
Peru to the Tuamotu Islands, thereby demonstrating the
plausibility of his theory – and changing the history books
forever.
Directors Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg’s
masterful account of Heyerdahl’s staggeringly brave
journey is unerringly faithful to the original story, as we
follow Heyerdahl gathering financing for the trip before
setting off on an epic 101 day-long journey across 8,000
kilometres, all while the world was watching.
The extraordinary story of one of the world’s greatest living
minds, based on Jane Hawking’s memoir, ‘Travelling to
Infinity: My Life with Stephen’, and directed by Academy
Award winner James Marsh (Man on Wire).
For young Stephen Hawking (Eddie Redmayne) the future
looks limitless, his brilliant mind ensuring his success as a
cosmologist, while his relationship with fellow Cambridge
student Jane Wilde (Felicity Jones) promising a fulfilling
personal life. Then tragedy strikes when, at the age of 21,
he is diagnosed with motor neuron disease.

Oxford. Entranced by her brother’s dashing friend Roland,

fulfilling her ambitions, Vera’s dreams are brutally shattered
by the onset of war.

Nordic Film Festival returns to the UK with another
diverse mix of fresh and classic features, docs and
shorts, showcasing some of the most celebrated
and emerging filmmaking talent of the Nordic
region. This year’s theme is horizons, as we explore
the diverse and ever-expanding landscape of
Nordic culture through cinema – from explorations
to journeys, to cross-cultural experiences and
collaborations.
Iram Haq’s courageous semi-autobiographical debut

woman struggling with love, motherhood and being
caught between two cultures. Mina is a 27-year-old actress,
second generation Pakistani and single mother of 4-yearold Felix. She’s separated from her husband whom her
family adore. Burdened by their constant disappointment
and desperately lonely, Mina looks for comfort and places
her trust in all the wrong places, with devastating effects
on her state of mind.

It is a world where nobody speaks, language doesn’t exist.
On the dry and arid plains, men are hunters, protectors
of a society bound by strict rules. Men hunt outsiders. A
young boy lives with his precious younger sister, they like
to play but in this oppressed existence, joyful childhood
is forbidden. Upon meeting an outsider, a young girl
who he befriends, he begins to question this world and
is continually plagued by the awareness that as he grows
older he faces becoming a hunter himself.
Thirty-something Hugi is a primary school teacher in a
remote village, and a recovering alcoholic. He’s the sort of
guy who takes an online language course because he’s still
hung up on his ex-girlfriend who has moved to Portugal
to be with another man, and the kind who is best friends
with a 10-year-old boy. When Hugi’s estranged father turns
up, yet another humorously complicated relationship
unfurls against the hostile yet stunning mountainous
landscape of Iceland’s West Fjords, in this subtly deadpan
and bleakly comic tale.
Hotel Hotell
Lisa Langseth • Sweden/Denmark 2013 • 1h37m
DCP • Swedish with English subtitles • 15
Cast: Alicia Vikander, David Dencik, Anna Bjelkerud, Mira Eklund.
Erika is a wealthy and successful young professional. After
a traumatic event, her life takes an unexpected turn and
she spirals into depression. Having joined a therapy group,
Erika sees the exercise as futile until one crucial session.
In an attempt to escape her own reality by waking up
somewhere different every day, she pays for the group to
check into a hotel to take therapy into their own hands…
In this follow-up to her outstanding debut Pure (NFF 2012),
Lisa Langseth teams up again with Alicia Vikander (A Royal
Affair, Anna Karenina) in this brutally honest and at times
absurdly humorous exploration of the human psyche.

Frank Capra • USA 1946 • 2h10m
DCP • U – Contains mild violence
Cast: James Stewart, Donna Reed, Henry Travers, Lionel
Barrymore, Thomas Mitchell.
This heartwarming fantasy is one of the most popular
films ever made. The film begins as angels discuss George
Bailey (James Stewart), a small-town resident so beset
with problems that he contemplates suicide. In flashback,
we review George’s life, learning that he has always
wanted to leave his hometown to see the world, but that
circumstances and his own good heart have kept him in
Bedford Falls. A masterfully crafted exercise in sentiment,
augmented by director Frank Capra’s undying faith in
community. The supporting cast are uniformly excellent,
but Stewart is the heart and the soul of the film as the
dreamer who sacrifices all for his fellow man. Bring a hanky!
THE BISHOP’S WIFE
A fun but meaningful adaptation of the Dickens story,
with Gonzo taking on the role of Dickens and narrating
the tale, along with the help of Rizzo the Rat. They take us
on a journey through a dank London, filled with all your
favourite Muppets and a lot of talking vegetables too!
Scrooge (Michael Caine) is so miserly he won’t even allow
his fuzzy employees an extra piece of coal for the fire at
Christmas. Such meanness is not tolerated by his deceased
business partners, who appear to him one night and tell
him that he must face up to his misdeeds. And so he is
visited by the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future...

Two talented song-and-dance men (Bing Crosby and
Danny Kaye) team up after the war to become one of the
hottest acts in show business. One winter, they join forces
with a sister act (Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen) and
head to Vermont for a white Christmas. Upon discovering
that the resort is run by their old army general, who’s now
in financial trouble, they decide to put on a benefit to raise
funds. White Christmas is a treasury of Irving Berlin classics,
among them ‘Sisters’, ‘Blue Skies’, and, of course, ‘White
Christmas’ itself.

Christian Carion’s beautifully directed drama tells the story
of an event during World War I, when a Scottish, a German
and a French regiment called a temporary halt to the
slaughter on Christmas Eve, 1914.
Among the entrenched Germans is the famous tenor
Nikolaus Sprink who, on hearing the Scots’ bagpipes playing
Christmas songs, strides onto no-man’s-land and, with only
a Christmas tree for cover, proceeds to sing along at the
top of his voice. Influenced by the sentimental nature of
the songs, the three commanding officers call a temporary
truce, and before long the rank-and-file are exchanging gifts
and seasonal best wishes. But at what point does ‘goodwill
to all men’ end and high treason begin....?
Screening as part of The First World War in Cinema, 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 other which are not tied to specific dates.
Next month, Abel Gance’s J’accuse! (1919).

Celebrating the genius of one of
cinema’s most celebrated comedians
and influential icons, Jacques Tati
(1907-1982) who worked as actor,
writer and director.
Jour de fête
Fri 26, Sun 28 & Tue 30 Dec
Jacques Tati • France 1949 • 1h20m
DCP • French with English subtitles • U
Cast: Jacques Tati, Guy Decomble, Paul Frankeur, Santa Relli.
A joyful, almost silent comedy set in the French
countryside. François (Jacques Tati), a village postman,
does his rounds on his bicycle – the old-fashioned
way. But when a travelling carnival comes to town, its
proprietors show a film extolling the virtues of modern
American mail delivery, and soon the townspeople start to
wonder if François has fallen behind the times...
MONSIEUR HULOT’S HOLIDAY
MON ONCLE
Monsieur Hulot’s Holiday
Mon Oncle
Fri 26, Sun 28 & Wed 31 Dec
Sat 27, Mon 29 & Tue 30 Dec
Jacques Tati • France 1952 • 1h27m
DCP • French with English subtitles
U – Contains no sex, violence or bad language
Cast: Jacques Tati, Nathalie Pascaud, Michèle Rolla, Valentine
Camax, Louis Perrault.
Jacques Tati • France/Italy 1958 • 1h56m
DCP • French with English subtitles
U – Contains no sex, violence or bad language
Cast: Jacques Tati, Adrienne Servantie, Jean-Pierre Zola, Lucien
Frégis, Betty Schneider.
Taking a vacation at a seaside resort in Brittany, confirmed
bachelor Monsieur Hulot creates unintentional havoc
among the hotel guests with his well-meaning but terribly
clumsy antics. As with all the best slapstick, Tati’s theme
is the cruelty of the physical world. Nothing in Monsieur
Hulot acts quite how it ought to. Every object has a mind
of its own – from the canoe that folds in half while being
rowed, to the foxskin rug that attaches itself to Hulot’s
foot – and each appears to be intent on causing as many
pratfalls, bumps and bruises as possible.
In Tati’s second feature film and first film in colour, we find
him contrasting the bohemian provincial home life of
his gangling alter ego Monsieur Hulot with the modern,
contraption-filled concrete and glass home belonging
to Hulot’s sister and her family, the Arpels, where Hulot’s
nephew, Gerard, is drowning in boredom. When Hulot
comes for a visit, the gadgets get the better of him, in a
seamless spectacle of electric switches, slamming doors
and malfunctioning accoutrements. Unforgettably funny,
wonderfully observed and always technically brilliant.

What We Did on Our Holiday
Sat 27 Dec at 6.00pm & Sun 4 Jan at 1.00pm
Mon 29 Dec at 1.15pm & Fri 2 Jan at 6.00pm
Sylvain Chomet • UK/France 2010 • 1h20m • DCP

Andy Hamilton & Guy Jenkin • UK 2014 • 1h35m • DCP
12A – Contains moderate bad language, discriminatory
language, moderate sex references

Sylvain Chomet’s beautifully animated film is a truly
magical piece of cinema. Our weary hero is an over-the-hill
magician, complete with less-than-friendly white rabbit.
Always in search of a paying gig, the illusionist treks from
Paris to the Western Isles to Edinburgh – acquiring, along
the way, a young travelling companion who sincerely
believes in his magical abilities.
Sunshine on Leith
From Scotland With Love
Sat 27 Dec at 1.10pm, Sun 28 Dec at 6.00pm &
Sat 3 Jan at 6.00pm
Virginia Heath • UK 2014 • 1h16m • DCP
U – Contains no material likely to offend or harm
Made entirely of Scottish film archive, From Scotland
With Love is a feature film by award-winning director
Virginia Heath with a transcendent score by Scottish
musician and composer King Creosote. A journey into
our collective past, the film explores universal themes of
love, loss, resistance, migration, work and play. Ordinary
people, some long since dead, their names and identities
largely forgotten, appear shimmering from the depth of
the vaults to take a starring role. Brilliantly edited together,
these silent individuals become composite characters,
who emerge to tell us their stories, given voice by King
Creosote’s poetic music and lyrics.
THE WICKER MAN
Doug (David Tennant) and Abi (Rosamund Pike) travel to
the Scottish Highlands with their three children for Doug’s
father Gordie’s (Billy Connolly) birthday party. It soon
becomes clear that when it comes to keeping a secret
under wraps from the rest of the family, their children are
their biggest liability... From the creators of the hit BBC
comedy series Outnumbered, What We Did on Our Holiday
is a heart-warming, uplifting comedy.
Sun 28 Dec at 1.10pm & Wed 31 Dec at 6.00pm
Dexter Fletcher • UK 2013 • 1h40m • DCP
PG – Contains mild language, violence and sex references
Cast: George MacKay, Kevin Guthrie, Peter Mullan, Jason
Flemyng, Jane Horrocks.
Dexter Fletcher directs this hugely enjoyable adaptation
of the successful stage musical featuring the songs of the
Proclaimers.
Home is where the heart is for best pals Davy and Ally.
Returning home to Leith from duty in Afghanistan, the
lads kindle romances old and new: Ally with Davy’s sister
Liz, and Davy with Yvonne, his wee sister’s best friend from
work. Meanwhile, Davy’s parents Rab and Jean are busy
planning their 25th wedding anniversary. Everything’s
going swimmingly, until a revelation from Rab’s past
threatens to tear the family and all three couples apart.
The Wicker Man: The Final Cut
Mon 29 Dec at 6.00pm & Sat 3 Jan at 1.00pm
Robin Hardy • UK 1973 • 1h35m • DCP
15 – Contains moderate horror, sex and nudity
Cast: Edward Woodward, Christopher Lee, Britt Eckland, Diane
Cilento, Ingrid Pitt.
Generally regarded as one of the best British horror
films ever made, The Wicker Man focuses on a virginal
police officer, who is sent to a remote Scottish island to
investigate the case of a missing child. What he discovers,
though, is a community that has renounced Christianity
in favour of pagan fertility rites. It’s a movie about religion,
God, and the crisis of faith, and on top of all that, it’s
bloody scary.
Scotland Galore!
‘I KNOW WHERE I’M GOING!’
THE PRIME OF MISS JEAN BRODIE
‘I Know Where I’m Going!’
Tue 30 Dec at 1.00pm & Thu 1 Jan at 6.00pm
Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburger • UK 1945 • 1h28m
DCP • U – Contains mild peril
Cast: Wendy Hiller, Roger Livesey, Finlay Currie, Pamela Brown,
John Laurie.
A headstrong, rather proud young woman (Wendy Hiller)
travels by train and ferry to the Hebrides, there to marry
her wealthy fiancé. But along the way, she falls under the
spell of the Scottish landscape, and encounters another
man (Roger Livesey), with whom she falls suddenly,
passionately in love. This synopsis, however, can do little
to convey the unique power of this film, with its odd,
dreamlike interludes, its weird symbolism, its sense of
ancient forces and the supernatural, and its alertness to the
possibility of romantic love. It is a magical, unforgettable
experience, a work of real and enduring genius.
The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie
Tue 30 Dec at 6.00pm & Fri 2 Jan at 1.00pm
Ronald Neame • UK 1969 • 1h56m • DCP • 12A
Cast: Maggie Smith, Robert Stephens, Pamela Franklin, Gordon
Jackson, Celia Johnson.
This Oscar-winning classic is set in a private school in 1930s
Edinburgh, where Maggie Smith’s headstrong teacher
ignores the curriculum and influences her impressionable
young charges with her over-romanticised world view.

Cast: Basil Radford, Joan Greenwood, Jean Cadell, Gordon
Jackson, James Robertson.
1h30m • U
Join us on a trip into STV’s past, as we open the archives
to see how the broadcaster celebrated Hogmanay in 1957
and 1978.
STV had been on the air for just four months when it
broadcast its first Hogmanay Outside Broadcast in 1957,
live from Glasgow Cross. Rai Purdy is your genial host for a
look back at the year’s news, alongside comedy from Mike
and Bernie Winters and interviews with members of the
public. Plus, look out for a Glasgow tram. Next, fast forward
to Cowcaddens in 1978 for the astonishing, disco-infused,
Out With the Old In With the New. Hosted by formerSaint, Ian Ogilvy, this music and comedy extravaganza
features some “wonderful Scottish girls” in Beryl Reid, Amy
MacDonald, Una McLean, Molly Weir and Lulu, while the
great Rikki Fulton makes a cameo appearance. When the
girls start dancing, you won’t believe your eyes…
Thu 1 Jan at 1.00pm & Sun 4 Jan at 6.00pm
The story of a ship that runs aground carrying 50,000 cases
of whisky, and of the fictional Todday islanders’ attempts
to salvage and hang on to the cargo. Compton Mackenzie,
who wrote the famous comic novel, was inspired by a real
wreck and by his experiences living among the islanders
of Barra. The humour is gentle and wonderfully dry – the
introductory voiceover sets the tone when talking about
the isolation of Todday: “To the west there is nothing,” says
the narrator, before adding as a throwaway line “... except
America.”
The screening will be introduced by Jonathan Melville,
Edinburgh arts journalist and curator of Aerial View,
bringing television programmes to the big screen.

Silent Running
Mon 15 Dec at 8.30pm
Douglas Trumbull • USA 1972 • 1h29m • DCP
PG – Contains mild bad language, violence, injury
Cast: Bruce Dern, Cliff Potts, Ron Rifkin, Jesse Vint, Mark Persons.
The directorial debut of Douglas Trumbull, who had
previously worked on special effects for films such as 2001:
A Space Odyssey, Silent Running, screening here in a new
digitally re-mastered ‘print’, is one of the most intelligent
and entertaining sci-fi movies of the 1970s.
Bruce Dern stars as Freeman Lowell, the caretaker of a
greenhouse located on a space station. The Earth has been
stripped clean of foliage, and the greenhouse contains
the last remaining flora from the planet. When word
arrives from the powers that be that the greenhouse is
to be destroyed (the space station is more valuable to
man when hauling cargo), Lowell decides to ignore the
order and fend off all outside attempts to eliminate his
ecological paradise.

Cast: Irène Jacob, Philippe Volter, Claude Duneton.
Weronika and Véronique are two young women in Poland
and France, both singers, the same age and physically the
same in every respect, unaware of each other’s existence, yet
unconsciously sensing a spectral companion. Weronika, who
has a weak heart, dies onstage mid-song, and, hundreds of
miles away, Véronique, without knowing why, senses that
there is danger in pursuing a demanding singing career.

£100/£66 conc.
From the early days of cinema, writers had an uneasy
relationship with the medium. Some considered films

screenwriters and directors these writers have enriched the
film language

contexts.
The Dark Side of Ealing

morally complex, socially critical, challenging and cynical.
We will examine the lesser known side of Ealing Studios
during the 1940s and 50s, with its rich vein of often
surprisingly radical films
