Introduction
CHARLIE CHAPLIN - MODERN TIMES
CYCLING WITH MOLIERE
BOYHOOD
THE 100-YEAR-OLD MAN WHO CLIMBED...
If it’s packing them in, it stays on!
Some of you (particularly the ‘disloyal’, who dare to see films elsewhere!) may have noticed that Filmhouse works differently from most cinemas: in a
variety of ways I guess, but specifically in that whilst nearly every other full-time cinema in the UK chooses to only publish their schedule one week
(Friday to Thursday) at a time, a few days prior to the start of the week, we publish our programme and schedule a month at a time. The industry
calls this weekly process ‘holdovers’ and, excepting Bank Holidays, it always happens on a Monday, when the to-ing and fro-ing between distributors
and exhibitors as to what films will be kept on what screens, based on how much money they took over the weekend, takes place. Try and speak
to a distributor sales bod about something else on a Monday, and you’ll get short shrift. Anyway, we don’t do holdovers because a huge part of our
programme is made up of one-off screenings, events and festivals, and it simply wouldn’t make sense to only tell folk about all of those with only a
few days notice. (And, of course, we think we’re so darned smart we can predict exactly how long something needs to be on.) But, as Dean Friedman
once sang, we’re not as smart as we’d like to think we are, and it has always been a frustration for us to have to take films off that are doing well (btw,
Mr Friedman only said the first bit).
So, we’ve devised a third way which will hopefully give us the best of both worlds. Most of our monthly schedule will be presented in advance in
the usual way, but we will, when it is feasible to do so, leave some gaps in the week’s schedule that we will fill and publish, on our website and in our
weekly e-newsletter, by midday on the Tuesday prior to the Friday. It’s a trial, we’ll see how it goes. It’s all done in the name of giving you more of what
you want, though we appreciate you’ll need to pay closer attention to our programme than you might be used to... But, as I say, we’ll see how it goes.
As you read this, perhaps England have been knocked out of the World Cup and you’re getting on with the rest of your life without the worry of them
winning it, or you’re rooing (sic – I’ve always wanted to use sic) what might have been. Either way – and I seem to have inadvertently discounted
the possibility of them winning it – the cinema’s the place for you. Our big films this month are undoubtedly the film adaptation of Jonas Jonasson’s
international bestseller, The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared, and Richard Linklater’s astonishing (100% on Rotten
Tomatoes!) Boyhood. We’re catching up on a few titles we’ve missed over recent weeks (Belle, Jimmy’s Hall, T.S. Spivet (2D&3D), Godzilla (2D&3D)), and
there’s a handful (une poignée, even) of brand new French films as well, including the conclusion to Cédric Klapisch’s ‘Xavier’ trilogy, Chinese Puzzle
(starring Romain Duris and Audrey Tautou – the first two instalments, Pot Luck and Russian Dolls, are screening too), Cycling with Molière, Agnès (Le
goût des autres) Jaoui’s Under the Rainbow, and Bruno Dumont’s Camille Claudel 1915, starring Juliette Binoche.
And, with invaluable help from our friends at Drambuie, we also have an almost complete retrospective of the feature-length film output of Charlie
Chaplin – plus a few of the better known shorts – all in sparkling new restorations.

Mon 30 Jun to Sun 6 Jul
Belle is inspired by the true story of Dido Elizabeth Belle
(Gugu Mbatha-Raw), the illegitimate mixed race daughter
of Admiral Sir John Lindsay. Raised by her aristocratic
great-uncle Lord Mansfield and his wife, Belle’s lineage
affords her certain privileges, yet her status prevents her
from the traditions of noble social standing. While her
cousin Elizabeth chases suitors for marriage, Belle is left
wondering will she ever find love. But then she meets an
idealistic young vicar’s son bent on changing society, and
the two work together to help shape Lord Mansfield’s role
as Lord Chief Justice in a bid to end slavery in England.
Ken Loach’s period drama tells the true story of political
activist Jimmy Gralton, who was deported after building a
dance hall on a rural crossroads in Ireland – a place where
young people could come to learn, to argue, to dream...
but above all to dance and have fun.
“An unusual story, vividly and intelligently told, and one
that leaves you with a stirring sense of joy, injustice and
hope.” - Time Out

Jessica Oreck • USA/Finland 2013 • 1h24m • DCP
Finnish with English subtitles • cert tbc • Documentary
Vérité documentaries are rarely as visually exquisite or
innately soulful as this remarkable film from director
Jessica Oreck. Imbued with a warmth that belies its frigid
Finnish Lapland setting, Aatsinki thoughtfully observes
Aarne and Lasse, two brothers who toil as reindeer herders.
Observing these men and their families over the course of
a year, we see their intense labour and hard earned leisure,
slowly attuning ourselves to the compelling rhythms of
their daily and seasonal routines.
Spring in a Small Town
Fei Mu • China 1948 • 1h38m
DCP • Mandarin with English subtitles
U – Contains mild injury detail
Cast: Wei Wei, Cui Chaoming, Li Wei, Shi Yu, Zhang Hongmei.
Regarded as the finest work from the first great era of
Chinese filmmaking, Fei Mu’s quiet, piercingly poignant
study of adulterous desire and guilt-ridden despair – now
restored – is a remarkable rediscovery.
After eight years of marriage to Liyan – once rich but now
sickly and almost suicidally apathetic following a long,
ruinous war – Yuwen does little except deliver his daily
medication. A surprise visit from Liyan’s friend Zhang
re-energises the household, the invalid included. Liyan’s
young sister is not alone in her excitement over the muchtravelled guest; Yuwen knew him before her marriage…
Eliciting a great performance from Wei Wei as Yuwen,
whose wistful voiceover offers insights into her conflicted
feelings, Fei creates a tense, sensual chamberwork steeped
in suspicion and suppressed longing, deep resentments
and half-spoken truths. (Geoff Andrew, BFI)

a huge hit at the box office in Sweden. It concerns an
explosives expert who climbs out of the window of his
retirement home on his 100th birthday, deciding it’s never
too late to go on an adventure. Along the way he picks up
a suitcase full of cash (amongst other things and people),
and we discover that his life has been connected to some
of the biggest events of the 20th century.

A warm, funny, literate comedy from the director of The
Women on the 6th Floor.
A once great actor, Serge Tanneur (Fabrice Luchini), has
retired from the limelight. Too much pressure meant that
one day, he simply decided he would act no more. For
the past three years, he has lived in solitude on the Île de
Ré, spending his time cycling through the windswept
landscape. Fellow actor Gauthier Valence (Lambert Wilson),
whose career is flying high, is planning a production of
Molière’s play The Misanthrope and wants to offer Serge
the title role. Gauthier is convinced he will accept, since
Serge himself has become a misanthrope, withdrawn from
society and raging against the world. But Serge plays hard
to get. Instead of committing, he suggests they rehearse
together for a week. Things seem to be going well,
especially when a mysterious Italian divorcee (Maya Sansa)
appears. But is Serge merely toying with Gauthier, or does
he really intend to take to the stage once more?
A charming and beautifully stylish road movie from the
director of Amélie.
T.S. Spivet lives on a remote ranch in Montana with
his parents, his sister Gracie and his brother Layton. A
gifted child with a passion for science, he has invented
a perpetual motion machine, for which he has been
awarded the prestigious Baird Prize by the Smithsonian
Institution in Washington. He leaves a note for his family
and hops a freight train to make his way across the United
States and receive his prize. But no one there suspects that
the lucky winner is a ten-year-old child with a very dark
secret...

Documentary
Hailed by Michael Moore as “one of the best
documentaries about a band that I’ve ever seen” and by
Pitchfork as “the funniest, most meta music movie since
Spinal Tap”, Mistaken for Strangers is a truly hilarious,
unusual, and moving film about two brothers, Matt and
Tom Berninger.
Matt, the lead singer of the critically acclaimed rock band
The National, finally finds himself flush with success. His
younger brother, Tom, is a loveable slacker – a filmmaker
and metal-head still living with his parents in Cincinnati.
On the eve of The National’s biggest tour to date, Matt
invites Tom to work for the band as a roadie, unaware of
Tom’s plan to film the entire adventure.
What starts as a rock documentary soon becomes a
surprisingly honest portrait of a charged relationship
between two brothers, and the frustration of unfulfilled
creative ambitions.
In 1999 Joe is an engineer at a nuclear power plant in
Japan, which is destroyed in a series of earthquakes. His
wife dies in the accident, and he becomes a wild-eyed
conspiracy theorist, trying desperately to prove that the
official explanation for the disaster is a smoke screen...

Ishirô Honda • Japan 1954 • 1h36m • 35mm
Japanese with English subtitles
PG – Contains mild scary monster scenes
Cast: Akira Takarada, Momoko Kôchi, Akihiko Hirata.
Cut by American censors sensitive to its anti-nuclear,
anti-war message on its previous Western release, the
original Godzilla is back in its full-length, full-strength
glory. Several Japanese ships are lost and a remote island
is terrorised following H-bomb testing in the Pacific.
Investigating scientists come face to face with the cause
– an invulnerable thirty-storey Jurassic throwback with
radioactive breath and a major talent for destruction. And
he’s headed for the mainland...
An absorbing documentary that deftly interweaves two
fascinating narratives. One is that of the discovery of the
photographic work of Vivian Maier and the process by
which she achieved her recent, posthumous glory as one
of the greatest American street photographers. The other
narrative is that of Maier’s life itself, which, because of
her secretiveness, the scarcity of official records, and the
absence of relatives or close friends to testify, becomes a
mystery story, with filmmaker John Maloof as detective.
Maloof became Maier’s archivist after his purchase of a
box of photographic negatives at a public auction led
him to discover her work. His obsession with finding out
the details of her life drives the filmmaker to seek out
her neighbours and the people for whom she worked
as a nanny, and to travel from Chicago, where she lived,
to a village in France that she photographed on at least
two separate visits. Finding Vivian Maier probes the life
of a deeply private person and tries to fill the gaps in the
world’s knowledge of her with the indications she left, in
her photographs, of how she experienced the world.

Cast: Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, Marilyn Monroe, Joe E Brown,
George Raft.
The powerful bond between people and horses in a
rugged rural community in Iceland is explored in this
highly original series of interlinked stories, told with a wry
sense of humour. The lives, deaths and sexual desires of
its eccentric human cast seem inextricably linked to their
equine partners, even if the horses often come across as
smarter.
Unique, engaging and beautifully shot, Of Horses and Men
features some truly astonishing sequences and never loses
its ability to surprise, shock and entertain.
After Barcelona for Pot Luck (L’auberge espagnole) and
London and St Petersburg for Russian Dolls (Les poupées
russes), Cédric Klapisch this time takes his much-loved
characters to New York and Paris.
Having backpacked, talked and slept his way around
Europe, Xavier (Romain Duris) finally married English rose
Wendy (Kelly Reilly). By this time this film begins, however,
she has taken their two children and is living with a
successful architect on Central Park South. In hot pursuit,
Xavier crashes with his friend Isabelle (Cécile De France) in
her loft in trendy Brooklyn, makes ends meet working as a
bike messenger, and learns a few brutal New York truths.
On the verge of defeat and in a creative slump, a sudden
call from old flame Martine (Audrey Tautou), recently
divorced and visiting New York, gets him thinking; before
long, the freewheeling Xavier has embarked on a series of
fresh emotional complications.
Pot Luck and Russian Dolls, the first two parts of this
delightful trilogy, screen on Sunday 20 July – see page 25.
In a story of increasingly wild absurdity, Some Like it Hot
follows the antics of two musicians (Tony Curtis and Jack
Lemmon) who, after witnessing the St Valentine’s Day
Massacre, escape from the Mob by dressing up in drag
and joining an all-girl band. Comic complications aplenty
ensue when Tony Curtis – now a pouting girl – strives to
express his desire for Marilyn Monroe, while Jack Lemmon
– equally high-voiced and simpering – is being pursued
by an amorous Joe E Brown, who has one of the funniest –
and most radical – final punchlines in screen comedy.
Some Like It Hot is one of those rare movies where all the
elements gel all the time. Both Curtis and Lemmon display
a real feeling for sexual ambiguity and full-blown silliness,
while Marilyn provides a suitably contrasting innocence to
the antics of the two rogues. Wilder presents all three with
great comic scenes which soar on the back of originality
and great timing and embrace both slapstick and supersharp wit.

Richard Linklater (Dazed and Confused, the Before Sunrise
trilogy) makes a triumphant return to his independent
roots with this dazzling micro-epic, shot in 39 days over
the course of twelve years in and around Austin, Texas.
Boyhood follows the tumultuous lives of Mason Sr (Ethan
Hawke), Olivia (Patricia Arquette), Mason Jr (Ellar Coltrane)
and his older sister Samantha (Lorelei Linklater) from
around the time Mason is six until he begins his freshman
year of college. Within that timeframe, relationships ebb
and flow, loved ones pass away, romantic entanglements
develop, and life generally takes its course.
Today, we’re accustomed to bells, whistles, and CGI
pyrotechnics deployed in the hopes of holding our
attention on screen. What Linklater and his top-notch
cast offer is just the opposite – small, intimate moments
of the type we may witness every day in our own homes
but never stop to appreciate. Boyhood is a glorious
achievement in filmmaking.
Twenty-four-year-old Laura (Agathe Bonitzer) has faith that
someday her Prince Charming will suddenly appear. But
when such a man does turn up, so, at the same time, does
another one – charming in a different way, but equally
alluring. In a flash, all of Laura’s assumptions about life and
the future become fairy dust.
Under the Rainbow is a contemporary fairytale with more
than its share of twists, imbued with the sharp existential
humour we have come to expect from the duo of Agnès
Jaoui and Jean-Pierre Bacri (Le Goût des Autres, Look at
Me). Both once again collaborate on the script and co-star
as Pierre and Marian, a comically neurotic middle-aged
pair who, despite being a generation older than Laura, face
a similar predicament: how to lead their lives in relation to
their sometimes wild dreams and expectations.
A 50th anniversary restoration of Richard Lester’s hugely
successful caper, which attempts to depict a ‘typical’ 36
hours in the hectic lives of the Beatles. The film follows
the Fab Four’s journey from Liverpool to London to
record a TV show, and features performances of several of
their hit singles. Described by US critic Andrew Sarris as
“the Citizen Kane of jukebox movies”, A Hard Day’s Night
spearheaded the 1960s introduction of pop music onto
film soundtracks.

Winner of both the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience
Award for US Dramatic Film at the Sundance Film Festival,
Ryan Coogler’s Fruitvale Station follows the true story
of Oscar Grant (Michael B Jordan), a 22-year-old African
American who was gunned down by Public Transport
Police in Oakland, California.
It’s New Year’s Eve and Oscar has a busy day ahead of
him, attempting to get a head start on his New Year’s
resolutions by getting back the job from which he was
recently fired, mending his relationship with his girlfriend
and young daughter and visiting his mother on her
birthday. However, shortly after midnight events take a
tragic turn when a fight breaks out on a subway platform.
In one of her most committed and profound
performances, the great French actress Juliette Binoche
plays Camille Claudel some years after the famous
sculptress was committed to a benevolent asylum by her
family. Pinning her hopes on a longed-for visit from her
brother, Camille keeps herself apart from the other inmates
and for the most part enjoys a degree of trust and respect
from the nuns, but her composure is fragile and she
remains bitter and paranoid when the subject of her old
lover Auguste Rodin comes up. Most tragically of all, she
refuses to return to her work.
A radically different take from the tempestuous biopic that
earned Isabelle Adjani an Oscar nomination in 1990, Bruno
Dumont’s film is restrained, sometimes harrowing, but
singularly authentic and deeply felt.
Kathleen Hanna, known to many as the lead singer of
seminal bands Bikini Kill and Le Tigre, was one of the music
world’s most outspoken performers and a pioneer of the
riot grrrl movement – until she inexplicably vanished from
the scene in 2005. Using 20 years worth of archival footage
plus interviews with Hanna, her husband (and Beastie Boy)
Adam Horowitz, Joan Jett, Kim Gordon and others, Sini
Anderson’s candid and intimate portrait reveals why, while
also providing a comprehensive and rousing overview of
Hanna’s influential career.
“Terrifically watchable and impressively empowering.” - The

MAD MAX
Come and See...
A monthly one-off screening of a great film
we simply thought you might like to see,
again or for the first time, on the big screen.
Now with added panther!
Mad Max
Thu 17 Jul at 8.30pm
George Miller • Australia 1979 • 1h31m • DCP • 18
Cast: Mel Gibson, Joanne Samuel, Hugh Keays-Byrne, Steve Bisley.
This creative, original, exciting, low-budget genre landmark
gave the young Mel Gibson his first starring role. Set in the
near future, Mad Max presents a post-apocalyptic society
descending into chaos, with the forces of law and order
barely holding their own. Gibson plays Max, a good cop
who’s fed up with his job. After chasing crazed criminals for
years and seeing so many of his buddies killed in action, he
just wants to retire and spend the rest of his days with his
wife and child. His chief tries to bribe him with a new, faster
police car and attempts to flatter him by telling him that
he’s the last of the heroes but Max isn’t buying, so the boss
sends him on a week’s vacation. Spending an idyllic break
with his family on the beach, Max decides to put away his
badge and uniform for good. But this is not to be...

Documentary
“A totally unique mixture of documentary, fiction and
playful visual poetry.” - EIFF 2013
“Very beautiful and utterly bonkers.” - The List Nominated for the Michael Powell Award (EIFF 2013),
Dummy Jim weaves fiction, documentary, animation and
archive to explore the eccentric adventures of profoundly
deaf Scots long-distance cyclist James Duthie who
hailed from close-knit Aberdeenshire fishing community
Cairnbulg and Inverallochy. In 1951, he set out on a lone
cycling tour to Morocco. After three months of pedalling,
he reached the Arctic Circle.
Twelve years in the making, this is a multi-layered
memorial to a quietly determined maverick and the
community that shaped him, with present-day village
inhabitants emerging as creative participants. Deaf actor
Samuel Dore leads.
“If you like humour, rebellion, mischief or social conscience,
you will enjoy this.” - Lesley Riddoch. The inside story of the campaign against the Skye Bridge
tolls, ten years after. Plucky islanders stand up to the might
of the government and the Bank of America, and win. The
Bridge Rising takes you behind closed doors, as the people
on both sides of the front line tell their own stories in
their own words – from protesters to police to politicians,
from the toll-collector to the Bridge engineer. Packed with
humour, twists and bittersweet surprises.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with director
Matt Hulse and lead actor Samuel Dore.
The screening will be captioned and will have BSL /
English interpretation by Jo Ross.
PLUS live performance from film composers The Twelve
Hour Foundation.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Drew
Millar, SKAT protester, who appears in the film.

Charles Chaplin • USA 1921 • 1h • DCP
Silent • U – Contains no material likely to offend or harm
Cast: Charles Chaplin, Jackie Coogan, Carl Miller, Edna Purviance.
Sat 5 Jul at 3.40pm & Sun 6 Jul at 6.15pm
Charles Chaplin (1889-1977) was born in London and, following a difficult,
impoverished childhood, rose to worldwide fame in the silent era. His career across
stage and screen spanned more than seven decades, and his private life was
often mired in controversy. He remains a hugely important figure in the history of
cinema, and we’re delighted to present all but one of his feature-length films along
with three shorts.
Chaplin’s first feature-length production, in which a tramp
finds a baby, abandoned by its unwed mother, and brings
the child up. Chaplin draws on his childhood memories
of growing up in poverty, and the result is a wonderfully
effective blend of pathos and humour.
This is the tenth special season of films showcased in partnership with Drambuie,
whose ongoing financial support allows Filmhouse to screen unique cinematic
programmes that showcase extraordinary filmmakers, actors and actresses that
have made a lasting impact on cultural society as well as film history. Alongside
these extraordinary films, audiences can experience Drambuie’s unique blend of
Scotch whisky, spices and heather honey in an array of bespoke cocktails at our
Café Bar, created to celebrate each season.

Possibly the least characteristic film of Chaplin’s career, A
Woman of Paris opens with a title card addressed to “the
public”, informing the audience that Chaplin himself does
not appear in the film, and that it is his first serious drama.
The story concerns a young woman from a village in
France, who plans to elope with her lover but, when fate
intervenes, instead sets out for Paris alone.
Falsely suspected of being a pickpocket, Chaplin’s Little
Tramp is running from the cops and sneaks into a circus
tent to hide. Unintentionally, he disrupts the show, but the
crowd love him and the ringmaster hires him. Hilarious
adventures follow, including a close shave involving a
tightrope, a broken support wire and a playful monkey...
PLUS SHORT
Pay Day
Chaplin was deep into production of his silent City
Lights when Hollywood was overwhelmed by the talkie
revolution. After months of contemplation, Chaplin
decided to finish the film as it began – in silence, save for a
musical score and an occasional sound effect. Once again
cast as the Little Tramp, Chaplin makes the acquaintance
of a blind flower girl, who is under the impression that the
shabby tramp is a millionaire.

A bricklayer enjoys a night on the town but his
overbearing wife isn’t happy that he’s spent his wages on
a good time.
An unlikely participant in the 1898 Yukon gold rush, Charlie
finds himself sharing a remote cabin with two menacinglooking prospectors. He eats a shoe, falls in love from afar
with saloon girl Georgia, and finally strikes gold. One of the
most elaborately produced of Chaplin’s silent comedies,
taking him fourteen months to complete.

Charles Chaplin • USA 1936 • 1h27m • DCP • U
Cast: Charles Chaplin, Paulette Goddard, Henry Bergman, Tiny
Sandford, Chester Conklin.
Made at the time of Roosevelt’s New Deal, Chaplin’s first
‘political’ film tells the story of a worker buffeted about
and neglected by inhuman forces of industrialisation,
politics and the law. Between wonderful stage sets and
routines which see his famous ‘Little Tramp’ figure almost
literally transformed into just one more product, the hero
befriends an orphaned teenager, and together they set out
to carve out a little bit of happiness in the world.

The Great Dictator
Limelight
Sat 26 Jul at 3.30pm & Sun 27 Jul at 5.45pm
Sat 2 Aug at 3.15pm & Sun 3 Aug at 5.00pm
Charles Chaplin • USA 1940 • 2h6m • DCP • PG
Cast: Charles Chaplin, Jack Oakie, Reginald Gardiner, Henry
Daniell, Paulette Goddard.
Charles Chaplin • USA 1952 • 2h14m
DCP • U – Contains very mild sex references
Cast: Charles Chaplin, Claire Bloom, Nigel Bruce, Buster Keaton,
Sydney Chaplin.
In 1940 Chaplin turned a merciless eye on the horror of
Nazi Germany, playing an anonymous Jewish barber who
returns to his homeland an amnesiac, unaware of the rise
of fascism yet bearing an uncanny resemblance to cruelyet-buffoonish dictator Adenoid Hynkel (Hitler, by any
other name), for whom he’s soon mistaken. Leavened with
vaudevillian humour, this corrosive satire ends with a plea
for democracy and tolerance that’s as timely today as on
its original release.
A sweetly elegiac drama about a fading music-hall star
(Chaplin, beautifully partnered by Buster Keaton – the
only time the two appeared in a film together) who falls
in love with a suicidal young dancer (Claire Bloom). One
of Chaplin’s least political later films, though politics were
looming large in his private life – considered a dangerous
radical in the United States, he was refused entry to the
country when he tried to return to Los Angeles following
the UK premiere of the film.
Monsieur Verdoux
Tue 29 Jul at 8.30pm & Wed 30 Jul at 6.00pm
Charles Chaplin • USA 1947 • 2h4m • DCP
PG – Contains mild implied violence, suicide, and language
Cast: Charles Chaplin, Mady Correll, Allison Roddan, Robert
Lewis, Audrey Betz.
Chaplin bought and adapted the story idea for this 1947
black comedy from Orson Welles, who had wanted to
direct Chaplin in the title role of a serial killer based on the
French ‘Bluebeard’, Henri Désiré Landru. Probably Chaplin’s
most pessimistic film, there’s not a jot of the sweetness and
sentimentality that characterised his previous work, which
perhaps reflects his troubled personal life around this time.
A King in New York
Tue 5 Aug at 8.45pm & Wed 6 Aug at 5.45pm
Charles Chaplin • UK 1957 • 1h45m
DCP • U – Contains very mild comic violence
Cast: Charles Chaplin, Maxine Audley, Jerry Desmonde, Sidney James.
Panned by contemporary critics and effectively banned
in the USA for 16 years, A King in New York remains as
a testament to Chaplin’s determination to expose what
he perceived as the political failings of the society that
rejected him. Chaplin, having been expelled from his
adopted homeland, shot the film entirely in England,
and stars as the exiled King Shahdov of Estrovia, who
arrives in New York after he is deposed in his homeland.
Sensing an opportunity, a shrewd TV personality hoists the
bumbling ex-monarch on to television, and sure enough,
he becomes an overnight celebrity.

The Railway Children
Sun 20 Jul at 11am
Lionel Jeffries • UK 1970 • 1h49m • DCP • U
Cast: Dinah Sheridan, Bernard Cribbins, Iain Cuthbertson, Jenny
Agutter, Sally Thomsett.
Three children and their mother move to a country house
after their father is mysteriously taken away by the police.
Suddenly poor, the family is forced to become resourceful,
and the children learn the value of being helpful to others
as well. Fascinated by the nearby railway, the children wave
to the passengers faithfully every day and befriend one old
gentleman in particular. Can he help solve the mystery of
their missing father?
A charming animated feature inspired by Belgian writerillustrator Gabrielle Vincent’s children’s books. Bears live
upstairs and mice live downstairs and never the twain shall
meet. This delicate balance between the species is blown
apart when Ernest, a large, solitary and rather grumpy
bear meets Celestine, a wide-eyed orphan mouse who
previously never believed that bears even existed. Before
long the mouse and bear authorities, fearing the change
that they are confronted with, are forced to work together
to address the problem presented by our two heroes.

Dean DeBlois • USA 2014 • 1h42m
DCP • PG – Contains mild violence, threat
With the voices of Jay Baruchel, Kristen Wiig, Gerard Butler,
Jonah Hill, Cate Blanchett.
An enchanting animation following the adventures of
an unlikely superhero: the mischievous and heroic baby
Kirikou. Based loosely on Senegalese fables, Kirikou tells
five stories of ingenuity and courage, as the tiny but
fearless crusader saves his village from foes both natural
and supernatural.
An old illusionist in China needs an heir to pass on the
secret of his mask tricks – so he buys himself a grandson
from a needy peasant. A swooping emotional drama
about a kid who wants to be loved, and an old man who
learns how to open his heart.
It’s been five years since Hiccup and Toothless successfully
united dragons and vikings on the island of Berk. The now
inseparable pair spend their time journeying through
the skies, charting unmapped territories and exploring
new worlds. When one of their adventures leads to the
discovery of a secret ice cave that is home to hundreds of
new wild dragons and the mysterious Dragon Rider, the
two friends find themselves at the centre of a battle to
protect the peace.

Dino. He splits his life between two houses – during the

during the night he clambers over the roofs of Paris in the

Costa da Morte is a region in the north-west of Galicia
(Spain), which was considered to be the end of the world
during the Roman period. Its name comes from the
numerous shipwrecks that have occurred throughout
history in this dramatic landscape of rocks, mist and
storms. We cross this land observing the people who
inhabit it, fishermen, gatherers of shellfish, loggers... We
witness traditional craftsmen who maintain both an
intimate relationship and an antagonistic battle with the
vastness of this territory. The wind, the stones, the sea,
the fire, are characters in this film, and through them we
approach the mystery of the landscape, understanding it
as a unified ensemble with man, his history and legends.
We hope that there will be a Skype Q&A with director
Lois Patiño after the screening – please check our

Picking up half a decade later, Cédric Klapisch’s sequel

Xavier (Romain Duris), is now a writer, but it’s not exactly
the existence he had in mind. His love-life is equally
shambolic: he can’t quite sever ties with his ex-girlfriend
Martine (Audrey Tautou) and, apart from the odd onenight stand, the most meaningful source of female contact
in his life comes in the shape of his lesbian friend Isabelle...

Cast: Aaron Pedersen, Hugo Weaving, Ryan Kwanten, Jack
Thompson, Tony Barry.
Michael Cimino • UK/USA 1978 • 3h2m
18 – Contains strong violence and portrayals of wartime trauma
Cast: Robert De Niro, John Cazale, Christopher Walken, John
Savage, Meryl Streep.
The latest work from internationally lauded Australian
director Ivan Sen showcases the filmmaker’s multiple
talents; as its writer, director, editor, director of
photography, and composer, he is responsible for the
singular vision of the film, one of the most compelling and
purely cinematic offerings of the year.
Set in the arid outback of Queensland, Mystery Road
centres on Jay Swan (Aaron Pedersen), an Aboriginal police
detective recently returned to his small home town after
a stint in the big city. When the body of a teenage girl is
discovered, Jay is tasked with solving her murder. Both the
violent crime and Jay’s arrival unsettle the community, and
Sen is unsentimental about revealing the harsh contrasts –
white versus Aboriginal, past versus present, urban versus
rural, poverty versus opportunity – that simmer within the
town, isolated by mile after dusty mile of flat, red earth.
A new restoration of Michael Cimino’s 1978 epic drama.
Three lifelong friends, Michael (Robert De Niro), Nick
(Christopher Walken) and Steve (John Savage) leave the
wooded hills of their Pennsylvania steel town to serve their
country in Vietnam. What follows is a stark representation
of the horrors of war and the inevitable fallout experienced
by a small town once the war has taken its toll.
With superb performances from an impressive cast
(Walken won an Oscar, and Meryl Streep, playing lovelorn
war widow Linda, was nominated), The Deer Hunter stands
as an important social meditation of love, loss, and life in
post-Vietnam war America.
“One of the most emotionally shattering films ever made.”
