Introduction

THE BRAND NEW TESTAMENT
It’s April 1st but there are no fools here - only well-wishers as the Centre for the Moving Image
celebrates its second birthday in charge of the Belmont Filmhouse.
It might be our birthday but it’s the audiences who will be celebrating with an amazing film line-up
that puts to bed the notion of the ‘terrible twos’! From the day we began programming at this
cinema, we set out to bring Aberdeen the very best that the film industry had to offer - regardless
of style, genre or country of origin.
We truly believe that world cinema is producing some of the very best films and filmmakers and
know that subtitles do not lead to a sub-standard movie-going experience. After all, you should
experience these films as the directors intended… not via the inferior Hollywood remake!
So, this month you can travel all over the world from the comfort of your cinema seat with the
Palme D’Or-winning Dheepan from France, The Brand New Testament (Belgium), Goodnight
Mommy (Austria), the incredible Victoria (shot entirely in one take in Berlin) and the Oscar®winning Son Of Saul from Hungary.
However, do not think for one moment that we are ignoring homegrown talent, as we soar to new
heights with Dexter Fletcher’s underdog story Eddie the Eagle and ascend Ben Wheatley’s HighRise, which sees an apartment building designed by a mysterious architect descend into class war
as the lower classes, with society crumbling all around, seek to rise to the top.
Speaking of architects (see how seamless that segue was?), we are pleased to be hosting a
fascinating and diverse series of screenings called Architecture on Film - all free of charge thanks
to the Aberdeen Society of Architects.
Whether it’s architecture or film programming, we are a little bit like the Weyland-Yutani company
from Alien, in that when it comes to our beloved audience we are “Building Better Worlds”.

Eddie the Eagle
Showing from Fri 1 Apr
Ben Wheatley • UK 2015 • 1h59m • Digital • 15 - Contains strong
violence, sex, very strong language
Cast: Tom Hiddleston, Jeremy Irons, Sienna Miller, Luke Evans,
Elisabeth Moss, James Purefoy.
Dexter Fletcher • UK/USA/Germany 2016 • 1h45m • Digital
English and German with English subtitles • PG - Contains mild sex
references, mild bad language
Cast: Taron Egerton, Hugh Jackman, Tom Costello Jr.
A savage satire of both 1960s social idealism and the
Thatcherite values that undermined it, High-Rise adapts JG
Ballard’s classic source novel with brutal gusto.
Inspired by true events, Eddie the Eagle is a feel-good
story about Michael “Eddie” Edwards (Taron Egerton),
an unlikely but courageous British ski-jumper who never
stopped believing in himself - even as an entire nation was
counting him out.
Dr Robert Laing (Tom Hiddleston) has just taken ownership
of his luxurious apartment whose lofty location places
him amongst the upper echelons. He is immediately
seduced by the louche culture of nightly cocktail parties,
where conversation always comes back to Royal (Jeremy
Irons), the enigmatic architect who designed the building.
However, as power outages become more frequent and
building flaws emerge, the regimented social strata begins
to crumble, and nihilism, drugs and alcohol feed into
wanton sex and destruction in a glorious cacophony of
excess.

With the help of a rebellious and charismatic coach (Hugh
Jackman), Eddie takes on the establishment and wins
the hearts of sports fans around the world by making
an improbable and historic showing at the 1988 Calgary
Winter Olympics.

Digital • 15 - Contains strong language
Documentary featuring Conrad Anker, Grace Chin, Jimmy Chin.
With jaw-dropping cinematography of one of the most
remote places on earth and direct access to the trials, drive
and anxieties of its renowned mountain climbing subjects,
Sundance Audience Award winner Meru is a hybrid of
gorgeous photography and riveting storytelling.
Titled after Mount Meru, a 21,000 ft. Himalayan peak that
looms over the Ganges River, the film focuses on three
world-class mountaineers as they take on the challenge of
trying to become the first humans to ascend its peak.

John Hillcoat • USA 2016 • 1h56m • Digital • 15 - Contains strong
bloody violence, very strong language, drug use, sexualised nudity
Cast: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Casey Affleck, Anthony Mackie, Woody
Harrenson, Aaron Paul, Kate Winslet, Norman Reedus.
Jamie Adams • UK 2015 • 1h25m • Digital • 15 - Contains strong
language
Cast: Alice Lowe, Dolly Wells, Tom Cullen, Laura Patch, Rosa
Robson, Richard Elis.
John Hillcoat (The Road) directs this star-studded thriller in
which a crew of corrupt cops is blackmailed by the Russian
mob to execute a virtually impossible heist. The only way to
pull it off is to manufacture a ‘999’ - police code for “officer
down” - and they target a rookie cop (Casey Affleck) as the
would-be victim.
Warmly received at EIFF 2015, this relationship comedy
shot in just five days in the Black Mountains of Wales
marks the culmination of director Jamie Adams’ ‘Modern
Romance Trilogy’, after 2014’s Benny & Jolene and A
Wonderful Christmas Time.
With rising tension, complications and conflicting motives
threatening to derail their plans - the film builds to a finale
of violence, greed and revenge.
Dheepan
Jacques Audiard • France 2015 • 1h55m • Digital • Tamil, French
and English with English subtitles • 15 - Contains strong language,
violence
Cast: Jesuthasan Antonythasan, Kalieaswari Srinivasan, Claudine
Vinasithamby.
Winner of the Palme d’Or at this year’s Cannes, this
powerful drama from director Jacques Audiard (A Prophet,
Rust & Bone) follows a former Tamil Tiger soldier as he flees
from the aftermath of the Sri Lankan civil war to begin a
new life in a Parisian suburb.
His family has been killed, and he seeks a way out, cobbling
together a ‘family’ with two strangers in a refugee camp.
Trading in one conflict for another, murder and violence
follow them to the housing projects of Paris. Securing their
position in France means making their false family real, but
past violence and present threats combine to exert a rising
pressure that is bound to explode...
Alice Lowe and Dolly Wells star as a pair of on-the-run
sisters who assume a new identity as the Wilding Sisters,
guest stars of the Poet’s Poetry Society retreat in the depths
of the Black Mountains, with Downton Abbey’s Tom Cullen
as the poet who comes between them.
The improvised dialogue is fresh and witty, while
the unforgettable cinematography belies the speedy
production schedule, rendering the sodden Welsh
landscape with sweeping beauty.

Cast: Tatsuya Nakadai, Akira Terao, Jinpachi Nezu, Daisuke Ryu,

English and Spanish with English subtitles • 15 - Contains strong
language, drug use
Cast: Laia Costa, Frederick Lau, Franz Rogowski, Burak Yigit, Max
Mauff, André M Hennicke.
Akira Kurosawa’s astonishing medieval epic, a loose
adaptation of King Lear set amid the civil war of 16th
century Japan, makes a welcome return to the big screen in
a dazzling digital restoration.
A heart-in-mouth heist thriller of the finest order, Victoria
explores the nocturnal urges of Berlin, from lust and techno
to crime and deceit. It follows the journey of the titular
heroine, a newcomer to Germany, from a joyous dance
through the city’s nightclubs to a far darker journey she
could barely have imagined, as she becomes entangled in
the fallout from an earlier bank raid.
Inspired by the life of Mori Motonari, a warlord who ends
up relinquishing his crown to his three conniving sons, Ran
is widely regarded as Kurosawa’s final epic masterpiece,
and was the most expensive Japanese movie of all time on
its release.
The Shakespearean tragedy is re-imagined as one of the
most visually arresting war films ever put on screen, its
balletic beauty climaxing with a silent battle scene, set to
Toru Takemitsu’s funereal score, which has to be seen to
be believed.
Writer-director Sebastian Schipper tells his breathless story
in real time, with a single bravura take and improvised
dialogue - a remarkable feat of filmmaking.

Cast: Matthias Schoenaerts, Diane Kruger, Paul Hamy.
Vincent (Matthias Schoenaerts), a French Special Forces
soldier just back from Afghanistan, is suffering from a posttraumatic stress disorder. He is hired to ensure the security
of Jessie (Diane Kruger), the wife of a rich Lebanese
businessman at their luxurious villa.
As he starts experiencing a strange fascination for the
woman he has to protect, Vincent increasingly falls into
paranoia. As his grip on reality becomes less tangible, his
motives become unclear, and clouded in the uneasy dread
of his condition.
A study of the trauma experienced by combat soldiers, the
claustrophobia and rapidly mounting tension of Winocour’s
stylish thriller mirrors Vincent’s psychological state.

15 - Contains strong language
Cast: Robert Redford, Cate Blanchett, Dennis Quaid, Topher Grace,
Elisabeth Moss.
Patricio Guzmán • Chile/France/Spain/Switzerland 2015 1h22m
Digital • Spanish with English subtitles • cert tbc • Documentary
As the king of hard-hitting political television journalism,
Dan Rather contributed many stories for CBS’s flagship
60 Minutes, including the one that essentially ended their
forty-year association in 2006: an exposé on how a young
George W. Bush allegedly avoided deployment in Vietnam.
The story had the potential to end Bush’s presidency after
one term, instead it derailed the careers of both Rather
and Mary Mapes, the Peabody Award-winning producer
behind the controversial story.
Based on Mapes’ 2005 memoir Truth and Duty, this
directorial debut from screenwriter James Vanderbilt is a
taut and smart political thriller about journalism and politics
in the tawdry age of counter-messaging.
The legendary Chilean filmmaker Patricio Guzmán explores
the watery Patagonian Archipelago and its meaning in
Chilean history - from its use by Chile’s Indigenous peoples
to its function as a grave site for Pinochet’s desaparecidos in this visually stunning follow-up to Nostalgia for the Light.
In his previous film, Guzmán overlaid the ongoing search
for the regime’s victims with a contemplation of the
unfathomable mysteries of the cosmos; here, he finds
an equally poetic metaphor in another vast universe
considerably closer to home, exploring the recurring theme
of brutality throughout human history.
Combining profound metaphysical speculation with an
affecting, intimate approach, The Pearl Button asserts the
importance of memory in a world very quick to forget.
The Brand New Testament
Jaco Van Dormael • France/Belgium/Luxembourg 2015 • 1h52m
Digital • French and German with English subtitles • 15 - Contains
strong language, sex, sex references, nudity
Cast: Pili Groyne, Catherine Deneuve, Benoït Poelvoorde.
From Alanis Morrissette to Morgan Freeman, on-screen
portrayals of the Almighty have tended towards the
grand, with a healthy interest in fairness and justice for all
mankind. None to date have imagined God as he is here:
an angry, frustrated family man living in a dingy apartment
in Brussels.
God spends his time embroidering the world with petty
miseries and mishaps - via a PC that looks like it still runs
Windows 98. After his daughter’s attempted good deed
backfires, God must scramble to rectify it before humanity
gives up on him entirely.

Cast: Paul Higgins, Kate Dickie, Jérôme Kircher.
Jane Hammond (Natalie Portman) has built a new life with
her husband Bill “Ham” Hammond (Noah Emmerich) after
being tormented by the ultra-violent Bishop Boys outlaw
gang. She finds herself in the gang’s cross-hairs once again
when Ham stumbles home riddled with bullets. With the
vengeful crew, led by the ruthless Colin McCann (Ewan
McGregor), hot on Ham’s trail, Jane has nowhere else
to turn for aid but to her former fiancé Dan Frost (Joel
Edgerton). Haunted by old memories, Jane’s past meets the
present in a heart-stopping battle for survival.
Midnight Special
Jeff Nichols • USA 2016 • 1h52m • Digital • 12A - Contains
moderate violence, threat
Cast: Adam Driver, Kirsten Dunst, Michael Shannon, Joel Edgerton,
Jaeden Lieberher .
A return to the Deep South for director Jeff Nichols (Take
Shelter, Mud) in this tale of a father desperately trying to
protect his uniquely gifted young son from the powers that
be. Midnight Special is a compelling science fiction story,
told with little of the exposition that often spoils them.
Roy (Michael Shannon) is on the run with his supernaturally
powerful son Alton (Jaeden Liberher) - driving all night and
hiding all day - with the NSA (led by Adam Driver) and a
religious cult (led by Sam Shepard) both in pursuit. As the
plot gradually unfolds, we learn more about these people in
their time of desperation and the abilities possessed by this
remarkable child.
Tom Geens balances stark realism and an unsettling
sense of the absurd in this deconstruction of social norms
that recalls the work of Michael Haneke and Thomas
Vinterberg.
As we meet Scottish couple John and Karen, they are living
in the wilderness of the French countryside. Their lifestyle
is simple and devoid of modernity, foraging for food, water
and resources, relying on no one else to survive.
But when a poisonous spider bites Karen, John breaks
their self-imposed isolation to get help. As the couple’s
backstory unfolds, an impending sense of doom casts a
pall over their small world, and the seeming serenity of
the forest is revealed to be as fragile and unstable as its
inhabitants.

Severin Fiala, Veronika Franz • Austria 2014 • 1h40m • Digital
German with English subtitles • 15 - Contains strong violence,
threat, scenes of torture
Cast: Susanne Wuest, Elias Schwarz, Lukas Schwarz.
A cinematic love letter his home city, Mark Cousins’ unique
film sees Belfast personified as a 10,000-year-old woman,
who becomes the viewers’ walking tour guide. At first the
tour seems light-hearted - the way people talk, unusual
vantage points, fragments of the city’s visual landscape,
the unnoticed and the unloved things about this place - but
then her story deepens.
I Am Belfast is a soulful and candid portrait of a remarkable
place, and the filmmaker’s personal connection brings
perspective, warmth and hints of memories past.
One of the most bracingly original and genuinely creepy
horror films in decades, this clever and insidious mother
and son psycho-drama recalls the terrifying poise and
impact of Michael Haneke’s Funny Games.
When a pair of twin boys’ mother returns from extensive
surgery, her face - wrapped in bandages - is now
completely hidden from them, except for two penetrating
eyeholes. Gone is their affectionate loving mother, and in
her place is a chilly controller who barks orders. As she
recovers in their dark recesses of the stark ultramodern
designer home, the twins start to question her authenticity,
and the lines between mundane reality and paranoid
fantasy begin to blur.
Sleaford Mods: Invisible Britain
Thu 28 Apr at 6.15pm
Paul Sng and Nathan Hannawin • UK 2015 • 1h25m • Digital • 18
Documentary featuring Jason Williamson, Andrew Fearn.
Invisible Britain - part band doc, part look at the state of the
nation - follows the group on their recent tour of the UK,
visiting places which probably don’t even exist in the minds
of many.
Taking its cue from the likes of Patrick Keiller’s
extraordinary Robinson Trilogy, the wanderings of Iain
Sinclair, and J.G. Ballard’s comment “The future is just
going to be a vast, conforming suburb of the soul”, the
documentary is a combination of raw footage of the
band, interviews with fans, and a look at what individuals
and communities are doing to resist so-called austerity
measures.

Cast: Géza Röhrig, Levente Molnár, Urs Rechn, Jerzy Walczak.
Winner of Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars® and
the Grand Prix at Cannes, László Nemes’ brilliant debut
feature is propelled by the same harrowing intensity as
its central character - a Sonderkommando at AuschwitzBirkenau who is forced to assist in the grisly day-to-day
management of the exterminations.
When Saul recognises a boy who miraculously, but only
fleetingly, survives the gas chamber, he decides to give him
a proper burial. However, his search for a Rabbi to recite
the mourner’s Kaddish places both his own life and the
escape plan hatched by his fellow inmates in jeopardy.

Cast: Haruka Ayase, Masami Nagasawa, Kaho.
Adapted from Akimi Yoshida’s bestselling serialized manga
Umimachi Diary, the new film from Japanese master
Hirokazu Koreeda unfolds with the gentle rhythm of the
waves that lap the shore of the seaside town of Kamakura,
in which Our Little Sister is set.
The three Koda sisters have been on their own ever since
their parents’ divorce, their mother having moved away
shortly after her husband left her for another woman. Now
in their twenties, the sisters live together in the house that
once belonged to their grandmother. When they receive
news of their father’s death, they are surprised to discover
that they have a stepsister, thirteen-year-old Suzu, whose
presence stirs long-dormant memories.
Eye in the Sky
Gavin Hood • UK 2015 • 1h42m • Digital • 15 - Contains
infrequent bloody moments, infrequent strong language
Cast: Helen Mirren, Alan Rickman, Aaron Paul.
A fascinating look at the realities of modern warfare, Eye in
the Sky employs terse and efficient storytelling to showcase
the intricate morality of drone warfare, and takes us
through one very long and very stressful day in the lives of
those tasked with making life or death decisions.
The goal of Operation Cobra is the capture of a radicalized
British citizen who has joined the Somali terrorist group Al
Shabab. Their “capture” objective becomes “kill” when they
learn that Al Shabab is planning suicide attacks - but reports
in London suggest that a nine-year-old girl has entered the

Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant star in the cinematic retelling
of the life of the eponymous New York heiress who
obsessively pursued her dream of becoming a great opera

The voice Florence (Streep) heard in her head was divine,

Don Cheadle • USA 2015 • 1h40m • Digital • cert tbc
Cast: Don Cheadle, Ewan McGregor, Emayatzy Corinealdi.
Directed by and starring Don Cheadle, Miles Ahead
presents sketches of the great Miles Davis drawn from one
of his darker periods, a self-imposed retirement in the late
1970s.
It’s a remarkable portrait of Davis as an artist seemingly in
decline, wracked with pain from a variety of ailments and
sweating for the next cheque from his record company,
dodging sycophants and industry executives, and haunted
by memories of old glories and humiliations. The non-linear
structure eschews the usual biopic structure in favour of
a more freeform story that neatly matches the sprawl of
Davis’ music, burrowing deep into the psyche of one of the
most important artists of the 20th century.

Gus Van Sant’s 1991 cult classic exemplifies some of the

River Phoenix and Keanu Reeves as two street hustlers
wandering through the seedy underworld of contemporary
America, the film both charts and makes sense of their
personal and familial journeys through a series of detailed
allusions to, and quotations from, Shakespeare’s ‘Henry IV
Parts One and Two’, and ‘Henry V’.

In the titular futuristic city of Fritz Lang’s reconstructed and
restored silent classic, a ruling class live in opulence, while a
literal underclass toil in a vast subterranean workshop. Lured
from his Edenic existence by the saintly Maria (Brigitte Helm),
Freder Fredersen (Gustav Fröhlich) witnesses the misery of
the working class and vows to persuade his despotic father,
Joh (Alfred Abel), to change the system. But Joh has no
qualms about the status quo, and works with a loony scientist
to create a robotic ‘Evil Maria’, who they hope will turn the
workers from revolutionary thoughts...

Gary Hustwit • UK 2007 • 1h20m • Digital • cert tbc
Documentary
An fascinating and engaging journey through graphic design
and visual culture, with the Helvetica typeface as its starting
point of exploration. Created in 1957 as an attempt at a
‘perfect’ sans-serif font, it is a useful starting point in the
examination of a range of issues - including the technological
revolution, the origin and implication of typefaces and their
application in contemporary modes of information. All of the
above is presented and discussed by an impressive selection
of notable experts and a dash of film making flair.

EAMES: THE ARCHITECT AND THE PAINTER
BEYOND THE HAAR
Eames: The Architect
and The Painter
Mon 11 Apr at 5.50pm
Jason Cohn & Bill Jersey • USA 2011 • 1h25m • Digital • 12A Contains one use of strong language
Documentary, narrated by James Franco.
The husband-and-wife team of Charles and Ray Eames are
widely regarded as America’s most important designers.
Perhaps best remembered for their mid-century plywood
and fibreglass furniture, the Eames Office also created a
mind-bending variety of other products, from splints for
wounded military during World War II, to photography,
interiors, multi-media exhibits, graphics, games, films and
toys. But their personal lives and influence on significant
events in American life - from the development of
modernism, to the rise of the computer age - has been less
widely understood.
Narrated by James Franco, Eames: The Architect and The
Painter is the first film since their death dedicated to these
creative geniuses and their work.

Beyond the Haar
Tue 12 Apr at 5.50pm
Mark Bremner • UK 2012 • 1h6m • Digital • cert tbc
Documentary, narrated by Ralph Riach.
Described as a visual poem and a eulogy to the city of
Aberdeen, Beyond the Haar is a film by visual artist/
filmmaker Mark Bremner. The winner of the Grand Jury
Prize at the 2013 Amsterdam Film Festival, it is a lyrical
documentary that blends archival footage with newly shot
sequences as it examines the city’s history, perception and
changing skyline in recent years.

Easter Holiday Activities
Pixelation Animation Body Poppin’ Workshops
A half day workshop aimed at 9-14 year olds and inspired by the work of Norman Mclaren and the technique
of pixilation combined with body popping. These workshops will use iPads (provided) for the filming and
animation. It’s a chance to learn exciting dance movement techniques and be filmed or make an exciting
animation using real people as the subject – or both! Films made will be submitted to the Belmont Filmhouse
Young Film Programmers group for possible inclusion in their Summer Film Fest and each workshop will
conclude with a mini screening in Belmont Filmhouse screen 4.

Filmdance is an innovative and exciting project to create an original work of dance on film that will be
showcased at Belmont Filmhouse. The process of creating a dance film is a collaboration of dancers and
filmmakers. Both groups of young people (aged 13-19) will work closely together, guided by a professional
choreographer and filmmaker, devising the concept, contributing ideas and rehearsing for the shoot
including making decisions about locations and costumes. No experience in dancing or film making is
necessary, just dedication and a passion to take part in a creative adventure.
Filming and rehearsals will take place during the Easter Holidays over 5 intensive days Mon 11 - Fri 15 April
9.00 – 5.00 (It is free to take part but participants will need to be able to commit to all five days). We are
recruiting around 20 enthusiastic dancers and two film crews (approx. 4 in each) to take part in creating
this new youth dance film for Aberdeen. The aim is to also enter the film into international festivals and
competitions.
For more information and details of how to apply contact Fergus Connor, Youth Engagement Coordinator on
[email protected] or call 01224 343513.

We are working with our partners Citymoves and SHMU and range of freelance industry professionals
to provide these workshops and events.
