Filmhouse, Summer 2019, Part II

Luckily I referred to the last issue of this publication as the early summer double issue, which gives me the opportunity to call this one THE summer double issue, as once again we’ve been able to cram TWO MONTHS (July and August) of brilliant cinema into its pages. Honestly – and honesty about the films we show is one of the very cornerstones of what we do here at Filmhouse – should it become a decent summer weather-wise, please don’t let it put you off coming to the cinema, for that would be something of an, albeit minor in the grand scheme of things, travesty. Mind you, a quick look at the long-term forecast tells me you’re more likely to be in here hiding from the rain. Honestly…? No, I made that last bit up.

I was at a world-renowned film festival on the south coast of France a few weeks back (where the weather was terrible!) seeing a great number of the films that will figure in our upcoming programmes. A good year at that festival invariably augurs well for a good year at this establishment and it’s safe to say 2019 was a very good year. Going some way to proving that statement right off the bat, one of my absolute favourites comes our way on 23 August, Pedro Almodóvar’s Pain and Glory which is simply 113 minutes of cinematic pleasure; and, for you, dear reader, I put myself through the utter bun-fight that was getting to see Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood for which the wait to get into the theatre was roughly as long as the (quite long) film itself. Worth every minute for what many argue may be QT’s best film yet… But that’s in August – there’s so much to enjoy before then, and if you make a point of catching Diego Maradona, Never Look Away, Photograph and Apollo 11 (the first moon landing finally has the documentary it deserves!) you’ll thank me for the recommendation!

IN FABRIcMon 1 to Thu 11 Jul

Peter Strickland • UK 2018 • 1h58m • Digital • 15 - Contains strong sex references, sex, bloody images. • Cast: Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Sidse Babett Knudsen, caroline catz, Julian Barratt, Gwendoline christie, Fatma Mohamed.

Written and directed by the award-winning Peter Strickland (The Duke of Burgundy, Berberian Sound Studio), In Fabric is a haunting ghost story paying homage to the ‘giallo’ horror classics of the 1970s/80s and set against the backdrop of a busy winter sales period in a department store. Laced with a wickedly arch sense of humour, it follows the life of a ‘cursed’ dress as it passes from person to person, with devastating consequences...

DIEgO MARADONAFri 5 to Thu 18 Jul

Asif Kapadia • UK 2019 • 2h • Digital • 12A - Contains infrequent strong language, nudity, bloody detail, drug references. Documentary.

Having never won a major tournament, ailing football giant SSC Napoli had criminally underachieved. Their fanatical support was unequalled in both passion and size. But how they ached for success... On 5th July 1984, Diego Maradona arrived for a world-record fee and for seven years all hell broke loose. Blessed on the field but cursed off it, the charismatic Argentine, quickly led Naples to their first-ever title. It was the stuff of dreams. But there was a price. The third film from the award-winning team behind Senna and Amy scrutinises one of the most iconic sporting figures.

NEVER LOOk AWAY WERK OHNE AUTORFri 5 to Thu 18 Jul

Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck • Germany/Italy 2018 • 3h9m • Digital • German and Italian with English subtitles. 15 - Contains strong sex, nudity, threat. • Cast: Tom Schilling, Paula Beer, Sebastian Koch, Saskia Rosendahl, Oliver Masucci, Hanno Koffler.

Talented artist Kurt Barnert (Tom Schilling) has fled East Germany into the West, but his mind remains flooded with the memories of his childhood and adolescence in both the Nazi era and the GDR. We are swept along through his younger days - as fascists rule and fall, young love blossoms and buried secrets linger close-by. Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck (The Lives of Others) returns with this powerful, beautifully-shot inter-generational epic, spanning three decades of 20th century Germany. Never Look Away is loosely based on the life of artist Gerhard Richter and was nominated for two Academy Awards in 2019, including for cinematography. The film had its UK Premiere at EIFF 2019. “A triumphant return form... a treatise on love and war and the limitless reach of art” «««« - Rolling Stone

AMAzINg gRAcEFri 12 to Tue 16 Jul

Alan Elliott, Sydney Pollack • USA 2018 • 1h27m • Digital • U - Con-tains no material likely to offend or harm. • Documentary.

In the early 1970s, fresh from a succession of hit songs, Aretha Franklin recorded for two nights at a Baptist church in Los Angeles - a legendary session that would become her biggest selling album, Amazing Grace. Remarkably, director Sydney Pollack (Tootsie, Out of Africa) was there to shoot it, but a series of complications led to the footage being left on the shelf - until now. With the help of modern editing techniques employed by Alan Elliott, this extraordinary performance comes to the big screen for the first time, over 40 years on.

EIgHTH gRADEFri 12 to Thu 18 Jul

Bo Burnham • USA 2018 • 1h34m • Digital • 15 - Contains strong language, sex references. • Cast: Elsie Fisher, Josh Hamitlon, Jake Ryan, Emily Robinson, Daniel Zolghadri, Luke Prael.

Elsie Fisher is sublime as 13 year old Kayla Day - the painfully introverted yet wholly endearing main character of Bo Burnham’s debut film. When not drift-ing through her last year of middle school virtually unnoticed, Kayla spends her time dispensing earnest life advice tips on YouTube - videos that no-one really watches. As the final week of term looms, she resolves to put herself ‘out there’ and make some friends. At times awkward, sad and laugh-out-loud funny in the same scene, Eighth Grade is a refreshing-ly clear-eyed view of early adolescence.

VARDA BY AgNèS VARDA PAR AGNèSFri 19 to Thu 25 Jul

Agnès Varda • France 2019 • 1h55m • Digital • French and English with English subtitles • 15 - Contains brief images of real violence and dead bodies. • Documentary.

On 29 March 2019, we lost a cinema legend when Agnès Varda passed away at the age of 90. A pioneer of the French New Wave, a socially conscious and experimental filmmaker, her career spanned over 60 remarkable years - from 1954 to this, her final film.Varda by Agnès is delightfully done - a self-biography of sorts, in which Varda reflects on her experience as a director and playfully weaves herself through snip-pets of her previous films. Whether you’re a fan or a total novice, you’ll be enchanted, moved and amused throughout. It had its UK Premiere at EIFF 2019.

LATE NIgHTFri 19 to Thu 25 Jul

Nisha Ganatra • USA 2019 • 1h42m • Digital • 15 - Contains strong language. • Cast: Emma Thompson, Halston Sage, John Lithgow, Mindy Kaling, Ike Barinholtz, Amy Ryan.

With ratings dipping and her writing staff comprised entirely of lethargic white men, late night talk show host Katherine Newbury (Emma Thompson) is on the brink of cancellation and collapse. Initially to appease diversity box-tickers, she hires her first female writer, Molly (Mindy Kaling) - whose presence truly throws the cat among the pigeons. Written by co-star Kaling, Late Night makes great use of Thompson as the slightly tyrannical TV star and strikes a fine balance between gender politics, showbiz barbs and the generational gap to create a cheeky and satisfying slice of timely fun.

Annabel Jankel • UK 2018 • 1h47m • Digital • cert tbc • Cast: Anna Paquin, Holliday Grainger, Gregor Selkirk, Euan Mason, Lauren Lyle, Kate Dickie.

Adapting Fiona Shaw’s 2009 novel, Tell It to the Bees is set in Scotland in 1952. Lydia (Holliday Grainger) - a mill worker - and her son Charlie (Gregor Selkirk) are abandoned by her errant husband, and one of the only locals to lend her a hand is town doctor Jean (Anna Paquin). Their friendship is destined to go much deeper, however, and soon their status as figures of local scandal overrides all of their lives, with young Charlie in the middle of it all. A story that keenly observes small towns, small-mindedness and small mercies.

WOMAN AT WARFri 26 Jul to Thu 1 Aug

Benedikt Erlingsson • Iceland/France/Ukraine 2018 • 1h41m • Digital Icelandic, Spanish, English and Ukrainian with English subtitles 12A - Contains infrequent moderate injury detail. • Cast: Halldóra Geirharðsdóttir, Jóhann Sigurðarson, Juan Camillo Roman Estrada.

Halla’s happy and upbeat exterior hides a secret double life, wherein she also operates as a committed environmental activist. Known in the media only by her alias “The Woman of the Mountain”, she is a Joan of Arc-esque figure, dashing across the countryside to vanquish offenders. But as she begins to plan her boldest operation yet, she receives unexpected news... Playful, touching and funny, Woman at War is confidently and stylishly made and sound-tracked by Icelandic folk music.

THE DEAD DON’T DIEFri 26 Jul to Thu 8 Aug

Jim Jarmusch’s arch new comedy - which had its UK Premiere at EIFF 2019 - is set in the peaceful town of Centerville, who must arm themselves for battle when the dead start to rise from their graves. And so, three police officers (Bill Murray, Adam Driver and Chloë Sevigny) and a samurai-sword-wielding Scottish mortician (Tilda Swinton) find themselves on the front line. As is often the case with Jarmusch, the tone is offbeat, the cast is abundant with star talent and the B-movie premise delivers far more intelligent insight than you might expect.

BIRDS OF PASSAgEFri 26 Jul to Thu 1 Aug

Cristina Gallego, Ciro Guerra • Colombia 2018 • 2h6m • Digital Wayuu, Spanish and English with English subtitles • 15 - Contains strong violence, bloody images, sex. • Cast: Carmiña Martínez, José Acosta, Natalia Reyes, Jhon Narváez, Greider Meza.

A tale of blind ambition, terrible choices and ‘wild grass’. In the arid northern region of Colombia, home to the Wayúu people, we are thrust into an sweeping drama that sows the seeds of the Colombian drug trade and recalls the complexities and politics of classic gangster films. From the producer and director of the Academy Award-nominated Embrace of the Serpent, Birds of Passage is a beautifully shot and truly gripping story about indigenous traditions and the corrupting forces of wealth and power, set against the backdrop of the marijuana boom of the 1960s/70s.

MARIANNE & LEONARD: WORDS OF LOVEFri 26 Jul to Thu 1 Aug

Nick Broomfield • UK 2018 • 1h37m • Digital • 12A - Contains drug references, moderate sex references, infrequent strong language. Documentary.

The latest from celebrated documentarian Nick Broomfield sketches out a beautiful yet tragic love story between Leonard Cohen and his Norwegian ‘muse’ Marianne Ihlen. Their love began on the idyllic Greek island of Hydra in 1960 , where in 1968 Broomfield, then aged 20, also first met Marianne. Marianne and Leonard’s was a love story that would continue for the rest of their lives, and the director’s personal attachment to it makes this film all the more compelling. It had its Scottish Premiere at EIFF 2019.

Prophecy is a rare, intimate exploration of a single oil painting, that reveals the motive and techniques behind each stroke of paint - employing state-of-the art motion control rigs to depict the artist at work. What starts as a blank canvas becomes Peter Howson’s monumental oil painting, ‘Prophecy’. A wry and darkly comic Glaswegian, he draws inspiration from world unrest, religious beliefs and mythology, along with his heroes Goya, DaVinci and El Greco. Following every moment until the canvas is sold, this unique, visually-stunning documentary portrait illuminates the apocalyptic world of Howson’s work.

On the streets of Mumbai, struggling street photographer Rafi (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) has a lot on his mind - working day and night to pay off an old debt and under plenty of pressure from his grandmother to find a wife. Convincing a total stranger (Sanya Malhotra) to pose as his fiancé begins as a last ditch scheme, but will ultimately spiral into something rather unexpected. The Lunchbox director Ritesh Batra’s new film - which had its UK Premiere at EIFF 2019 - both cannily indulges in and subverts romantic tropes with a lightness of touch, while framing the story beautifully.

Isabella Eklöf’s exceptionally accomplished first feature film (she was a screenwriter on the recent Border) is as audacious as it is, at times, hard to watch. A young woman, Sascha, is on holiday in the Turkish/Aegean resort of Bodrum with her Danish drug-dealer boyfriend and his extended criminal ‘family’. Not a lot happens... until the vacant Sascha’s interest in a Dutch yacht-owner triggers an unspeakable act of physical and sexual violence that turns proceedings entirely on their head. Think Ulrich Seidl, or Michael Haneke, but with a resolutely female gaze that will only serve to deepen the debate this film will generate.

From Justin Torres’ celebrated novel comes a visceral coming-of-age story of three brothers tearing through their rural New York hometown, in the midst of their young parents’ volatile marriage. More sensitive and conscious than his older siblings, Jonah (Evan Rosado) increasingly embraces an imagined world all his own. Propelled by layered performances from its astounding cast - including three talented, young first-time actors - We The Animals features stunning animated sequences which bring Jonah’s torn inner world to life.

A pleasingly oddball tech thriller, in which Jesse Eisenberg and an almost unrecognisable Alexander Skarsgård play cousins Vincent and Anton Zalesky - an enterprising pair hoping to get rich quick on the stock market. Their plan is to create a high-speed data line between Kansas City and New York - buying them and their clients vital additional seconds to make trades and earn significant financial return. It’s a hare-brained scheme that puts thousands of miles, private property, complex logistics, the Appalachian mountains and their ruthless ex-boss Eva Torres (Salma Hayek) in their way...

Quentin Tarantino’s ninth feature film is a fun-filled tapestry of stories set in the summer of 1969 - the height of ‘hippy Hollywood’. Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) - the former star of a western TV series - and his longtime stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) are both struggling to find their feet again in a Tinseltown they no longer recognise. But Rick does have a very famous neightbour - Valley of the Dolls star Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie). A cinephile’s dream, Tarantino’s comedic 1960s Hollywood odyssey is packed with iconic figures and studio hijinks - awash with his signature irreverent style. “It’s entirely outrageous, disorientating, irresponsible, and also brilliant.” ««««« - Guardian

Spanish icon Almodóvar’s new film is a semi-autobi-ographical tale in which film director Salvador Mallo (Antonio Banderas) recalls a series of experiences and encounters from his past. From his childhood in 1960s Valencia, to his first love in ‘80s Madrid, to the pain of heartbreak and his discovery of cinema, we trace Salvador’s path to his current predicament - a void that now stands between him and rediscovering his creative spark. Intensely personal and sprinkled with beautiful moments, Pain and Glory is both a trip down memory lane and an ode to filmmaking.

Eve (Gabriela Cartol), a young chambermaid at a luxurious Mexico City hotel, confronts the monotony of long workdays with quiet examinations of forgotten belongings and budding friendships that nourish her newfound and determined dream for a better life. Lila Avilés’ debut feature - winner of various awards at global film festivals - is a quiet, incisive character study. It’s coolly unsentimental, but so observational and candid that each glimmer of promise or humanistic warmth feels like a revelation.

Rose-Lynn Harlan (Jessie Buckley) is bursting with raw talent, charisma and cheek. Fresh out of jail and with two young kids, all she wants is to get out of Glasgow and make it as a country singer. Her mum Marion has had a bellyful of Rose-Lynn’s Nashville nonsense. Forced to take responsibility, Rose-Lynn gets a cleaning job, only to find an unlikely champion in the middle-class lady of the house. A comedy-drama about mothers and daughters, dreams and reality and three chords and the truth.

When fleeing Paris after a German invasion, Georg (Franz Rogowski) escapes to Marseille assuming the identity of a dead author whose papers he possesses. These are his only hope of escaping the encroaching tide of tyranny, but complications ensue when he falls for the mysterious Marie (Paula Beer)... Christian Petzold’s film skilfully blends together two time periods (1940s Europe and present day France) and allows them to coexist on screen - a move which poignantly demonstrates the urgency of our current political and social climate.

A remarkable clash of the old worlds and the new. Cornish fisherman Martin Ward (Edward Rowe) must deal with his brother Steven (Giles King), who uses their boat for tourist cruises, and the well-off Londoners who have bought his childhood home. The cultural clash is represented in the look of the film, shot with an old Bolex camera in black-and-white 16mm and hand-processed by Jenkin, which produces a realistic tone and a real sense of depth and history. Beautifully shot, Bait balances modern concerns with nostalgia. The preview screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Mark Jenkin.

Abel (Garrel) is devoted to Marianne (Laetitia Casta), until one day, out of the blue, she drops the bombshell that she is pregnant, and intends to leave him to marry the father of her child. The years pass but their lives remain intertwined through the snakes and ladders twists of infatuation and rejection. A must for incurable romantics and lovers of French cinema.

An intelligent, sensual and chilling adaptation of Daphne du Maurier’s supernatural thriller in which a married couple (Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland) use a working assignment in wintry Venice as an attempt to overcome a recent tragedy in which they lost their young daughter, Don’t Look Now is amongst Roeg’s most admired and influential works. Hinting at the horrors that underlie domesticity, the editing and use of colour are astonishing. Venice has never been so disturbing - and this new digital restoration does wonders for a 1970s classic.

What if the world around us was a smokescreen - an illusion created by cold, calculating machines? And what if there was a way to wake up, see reality for the first time, and fight back? Computer hacker Neo (Keanu Reeves) finds himself a target when he’s contacted by the mysterious Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne), who presents him with a choice - remain in The Matrix in blissful ignorance, or join the rebels and fulfil his destiny as the chosen one. Visually inventive, pulsating sci-fi action from the Wachowskis - often imitated since, never matched.

On the hottest day of the year - racial tensions are bubbling in a Brooklyn neighbourhood. This pressure cooker turns violent when a pizza shop owner and a black customer get into an altercation over the restaurant’s all-Italian Wall of Fame, and suddenly this city block is ready to descend into total civil war. Everyone’s got an axe to grind - but who is going to do the right thing? Spike Lee found acclaim and success with this - his fourth feature film - considered by many critics as the very best of that year.

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 dark love story which rivals, in terms of its bitter overtones, even Hitchcock’s later Vertigo - Notorious is still intoxicating, over 70 years on. A US agent (Cary Grant) plies his charm on an executed traitor’s tormented, alcoholic daughter (Ingrid Bergman) until she agrees to spy on a German friend and admirer (Claude Rains), who is 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 complex, cinematic classic.

Womanising businessman Oh (Choi Min-sik) is returning home one night when he’s drugged and kidnapped. He wakes in a prison cell, with a small television his only link to the outside world and with no idea of what his crime was or whom his jailers may be. As if this wasn’t bad enough, his wife has been killed - and he’s been framed. Eventually, after fifteen years have passed, he’s released, as abruptly as he was taken, and thrown back into the world - but can he discover the identity of his kidnappers, and gain revenge? Still bloody, brutal and brilliant.

Heralded by many as the film that crystallises most perfectly the experience of the Vietnam War, the ‘Final Cut’ of Francis Ford Coppola’s hallucinatory masterpiece aims for the perfect edition and may well have cracked it. Troubled US Captain Willard (Martin Sheen), is given a special mission - to go far upriver into Cambodia. Once there, he is to track down renegade Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando) - a man who is waging his own personal and violent war - and assassinate him. Arriving on location massively overweight and with a shaven head, Brando was not exactly what Coppola had in mind as the power-crazed Kurtz. But, amid the psychedelia and barbarism, the brooding presence of the actor glimpsed in half-shadow brought a mythical quality to the role that is unmatched by many screen performances.

SALT AND FIRESun 21 Jul at 6.05pm

Werner Herzog • Germany/France/Mexico/Bolivia/USA 2016 • 1h38m Digital • English, German, Quechua and Spanish with English subtitles • 12A - Contains infrequent strong language, moderate threat, reference to sexual violence. • Cast: Michael Shannon, Veronica Ferres, Gael García Bernal.

Shot in the gigantic salt flats of Bolivia, this peculiar eco-thriller is visually arresting, frequently baffling and distinctly laced with the director’s immense fascination with the ebb and flow of mankind and nature. Starring Veronica Ferres and Gael García Bernal as a pair of UN ecologists who are kidnapped by a mysterious businessman (Michael Shannon), the story ultimately develops into a tale of impending disaster. Salt and Fire is emerging as something of a cult hit from the more recent years of Herzog’s career.

Jeff Tomsic • USA 2018 • 1h39m • Digital • English and Spanish with English subtitles • 15 - Contains strong language, sex references, drug misuse. • Cast: Ed Helms, Jake Johnson, Annabelle Wallis, Hannibal Buress, Jeremy Renner, Jon Hamm, Isla Fisher.

One month a year, five competitive friends return to a no-holds-barred game of tag they’ve been playing since the first grade. ”I genuinely think this might be one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen. I have no idea how it went so under the radar. I watched it out of sheer boredom one day and it made me laugh my ass off. The cast is incredible, the writing is superb and the storyline is beautiful. It’s got real heart to it and I think it’s the most accurate depiction of male banter anywhere in cinema.”

As we arrive at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe once again, it’s a real treat to have a very well-known comedian in these parts as our latest House Guest.

Daniel Sloss is an internationally acclaimed and award-winning Scottish comedian, renowned for his writing, TV appearances and immense success as a stand-up comedian on the stages of Australia, New Zealand, Canada, USA and, of course, Edinburgh.

Daniel will join us to introduce the screening of Warrior, and all other screenings will be preceded by a special video intro - don’t be late!

THE PRESTIgESun 14 Jul at 5.50pm

Christopher Nolan • USA/UK 2006 • 2h10m • 35mm • 12A - Contains moderate violence and fatalities • Cast: Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, Michael caine, Scarlett Johansson, David Bowie.

Set in a world of top hats, cravats and disappearing bunnies, The Prestige is a superb puzzle-box thriller. Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman star as magicians in turn-of-the-century London, locked in a bitter feud after the death of an assistant in an illusion gone wrong. Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of Christopher Priest’s slippery novel has more than a few tricks up its sleeve, including a fine turn from David Bowie as Nikola Tesla.

“I watch this movie twice a year, minimum. It’s just perfect to me. Utterly flawless from start to finish. I love christopher Nolan. And I love The Dark Knight. But I still think this is his greatest work.”

A tale of two estranged brothers - one an ex-Marine (Tom Hardy) and the other an ex-fighter (Joel Edgerton). Both enter a winner-takes-all MMA tournament - and the collision course is set. “The most underrated movie that has ever been made, bar none. I think it went under the radar as people assumed it was just a violent cage fighting movie. In all honesty that’s the only reason I watched it in the first place. Then it sucker punched me. An amazing story and the acting in it is beautiful. Nick Nolte was utterly robbed of an Oscar in this.”

Mark Waters • UK 2004 • 1h37m • Digital • 12A - Contains moderate language, sex and drugs references • Cast: Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, Tina Fey, Jonathan Bennett, Amanda Seyfried.

When she draws the attention of ‘The Plastics’ - a cruel and popular clique - she finds herself getting in way over her head... “I shouldn’t have to write anything about this, you know how good this movie is. Tina Fey is a genius and this movie is hysterical. They managed to get Lohan before she went full Lohan. It’s like sadistic nostalgia.”

Star-studded remake of the 1974 sports comedy. “Hey, not all Adam Sandler movies suck and anyone who says that is trying to be cool. They’re not. They are people who don’t have any actual personality or joy in their life and they think it’s uncool to appreciate simple things. I love Underdog sports movies. And I like Adam Sandler. This movie has everyone in it. And I mean everyone. chris Rock, courtney cox, Stone cold Steve Austin, Terry crews, Nelly, Burt Reynolds, Tracy Morgan and so many more. It’s so dumb.”

Rama (Iko Uwais), a rookie cop in Jakarta, joins a raid on a tower block controlled by a vicious gangster. A superbly shot, thrilling action movie with hard-hitting fight scenes - The Raid will leave you breathless. “Do you like violence? No? Then this is the wrong movie for you. If you do, oh my good Lord are you in for a treat. The story line exists purely to allow these geniuses to show you the most insane level of choreography in any movie. I respect that a lot. From start to finish it just blows you away. No cGI, it’s all real and it’s so impressive.”

Uncanny Valley is a place for dreams as well as nightmares. The hope here is to shine a lantern on the nocturnal neo-classics lurking in the shadows.

The unsung heroes of grungy science-fiction, Lovecraftian terrors by modern horror masters, social commentary in the form of farce comedies and, most importantly, strange and uncanny tales that evade definition. Be it a journey into the darkest depths of the world we live in or whimsical flights of hysteria and cringe-worthy dilemmas, we hope to showcase the flicks of decades now adrift and ones best shown at night. As we head into the future with borrowed ideas and twisted dreams, we have our own fiction to craft, and it’s about movies. Uncanny Valley screenings are fortnightly on Friday nights and cost £9/£7 concessions (£6 students).

While filming in an abandoned building supposedly used for human military experiment, a Japanese film crew shooting a low-budget zombie movie are attacked by real zombies... Opening with an interminably long single take and constantly keeping the viewer on their toes about what is real and what is film fakery, this immensely entertaining, laugh-out-loud Japanese comedy is packed with tributes and mocking references to every other zombie film that defined the genre.

Hunted by police and trapped in a doll factory, the Lakeshore Strangler desperately tries to escape his situation by using a voodoo amulet. Chanting and lightning transfer his soul into a Good Guy doll on the production line. The next day, an unsuspecting mother buys the doll for her son’s birthday... Causing generations of children to fear their beloved toys, Child’s Play’s Chucky is one of the most recognisable and terrifying slashers.

After becoming trapped they discover strange murals and evidence of other expeditions, and soon realise they are not alone. Feeling stalked, fear sets in and tensions rise among the six women... The Descent more than lived-up to expectations after Neil Marshall’s previous cult hit Dog Soldiers, and crowned Shauna MacDonald as Scottish Scream Queen!

Brian Yuzna (The Beyond, Re-animator 2, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids) brings us a progressively bizarre body-horror satire. Teenager Bill feels like the Beverly Hills social elite to which his family belongs is a completely different species to him. After his sister’s debutante ball, her ex-boyfriend shows Bill recordings revealing a gruesome orgy. The tapes get erased and the is boyfriend killed, sending Bill down a rabbit hole of Invaders of The Body Snatchers meets Marxist theories, surreal gore and kinks, and paranoia... All in great, black humour.

Ishirô Honda • Japan 1961 • 1h41m • Digital • Japanese, English and Indonesian with English subtitles • PG - Contains mild violence. cast: Furankî Sakai, Hiroshi Koizumi, Furankî Sakai, yumi Itô.

Directed by the original Godzilla’s Ishirô Honda, Mothra is the first cinematic outing of the beloved ‘Queen of the Monsters’. When an expedition to an ancient island (also a nuclear bomb test site) kidnaps a pair of its tiny priestess inhabitants for a circus act, they unwittingly anger the deity Mothra - who answers the telepathic S.O.S song by unleashing her destructive power over Tokyo. Mothra remains the only Kaiju to seriously challenge Godzilla in terms of popularity. She also has her own theme song which you will never get out of your head - take that Godzilla!

Terry Gilliam • USA 1995 • 2h9m • Digital • English and French with English subtitles • 15 - Contains strong language, strong violence. cast: Bruce Willis, Brad Pitt, Madeleine Stowe, christopher Plummer.

In 1996, a deadly virus wipes out most of the human population. In 2035, survivors from the post-apocalyptic underground send Bruce Willis to find the original, un-mutated virus, so that scientists might find an antidote. As far as time-travel fantasies go, this is one without illusions or attempts at changing what is predestined, giving the viewer a sense of fatalism. As visually stunning as previous Uncanny Valley selection Brazil (and only 3 minutes shorter!), Terry Gilliam’s dystopian feature has a thrilling, complex, sobering plot, brilliantly carried by Brad Pitt and Willis.

Armstrong (Ryan Gosling), who walked on the lunar surface before anyone else. Re-teaming Gosling with La La Land collaborator Damien Chazelle, this is a riveting first-person account of the sacrifices, pitfalls and triumphs of one of the most dangerous missions in human history.

APOLLO 11Tue 16 to Wed 24 Jul (select dates only)

Todd Douglas Miller • USA 2018 • 1h33m • Digital • U - Contains very mild bad language. • Documentary.

From director Todd Douglas Miller (Dinosaur 13) comes a documentary that’s been 50 years in the making. Crafted from a newly discovered trove of 65mm footage, and more than 11,000 hours of uncatalogued audio recordings, Apollo 11 takes us straight to the heart of NASA’s most celebrated mission - the one that made Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin into household names. Immersed in the perspectives of the astronauts, the team in Mission Control, and the millions of spectators on the ground, we vividly experience those momentous days and hours in 1969 when humankind took a giant leap into the future...

The screening on Sat 20 July will begin at the irregular time of 7.06pm, which will synchronise the moment in the film at which the Apollo Lunar Module lands on the moon with the 50th anniversary of the exact moment that it occurred.

8 Days in Space celebrates the pioneers, the unsung heroes, the complex characters and the hopes and fears of mankind’s great ambition - to break free of terrestrial life and boldly travel beyond the stratosphere. It also marks the 50th anniversary of the historic Apollo 11 mission and the season runs for the amount of time the shuttle was voyaging through space. Selected screenings will feature introductions and discussions with volunteers from the the Royal Observatory, Edinburgh. Supported by

SCREENING TIMES

APOLLO 13Thu 18 Jul at 2.30pm & 8.15pm

Ron Howard • USA 1995 • 2h14m • Digital • PG - Contains mild threat, language and innuendo • Cast: Tom Hanks, Bill Paxton, Kevin Bacon, Gary Sinise, Ed Harris, Kathleen Quinlan.

Based on the events of NASA’s most nail-biting mission, Ron Howard’s suspenseful drama follows astronauts Jim Lovell (Tom Hanks), Fred Haise (Bill Paxton) and Jack Swigert (Kevin Bacon) as they leave Earth’s orbit, all systems go. When an oxygen tank sudenly explodes, however, their intended moon landing is called off, and Apollo 13’s mission becomes a battle to simply survive up in the cold, unmerciful void. A still-impressive Hollywood prestige drama - in space - Apollo 13 takes science fact and makes a truly compelling fiction.

IN THE SHADOW OF THE MOONWed 17 Jul at 3.45pm & 8.20pm

David Sington • UK/USA 2007 • 1h40m • Digital • U - Contains mild language • Documentary.

Evocative documentary In The Shadow of the Moon chronicles the triumphs and disasters of the Apollo space programme between 1968 and 1972. The film has no narration, relying instead on astonishing archive footage and interviews with the dozen or so men who travelled from Earth to the Moon, and back again. Through the testimonies of the surviving astronauts a picture gradually emerges of a nation caught between the optimism of the lunar programme and the shame of the Vietnam war. The heart of the film, though, is the dry humour, quiet wisdom and boundless humility of his interviewees.

SOLARIS SOLyARISFri 19 & Sat 20 Jul

Andrei Tarkovsky • USSR 1972 • 2h46m • Digital • German and Russian with English subtitles • 12A - Contains moderate injury detail, suicide references. • Cast: Donatas Banionis, Natalya Bondarchuk, Yuri Jarvet, Anatoli Solonitsin.

Filmed under the watchful eye of Russia’s communist regime, Andrei Tarkovsky’s adaptation of Stanislaw Lem’s 1961 novel is a remarkable feat of cinema. When contact is lost with a space station orbiting an ocean-covered planet on the edge of the galaxy, the authorities send cosmonaut psychologist Kris Kelvin to investigate. When Kelvin arrives, he discovers the space station in near-ruins, one of the crew dead, and the others haunted by strange apparitions. Within a few hours of his arrival, Kelvin begins to experience the hallucinations himself, seeing what appears to be his dead wife...

The innovative score to Solaris was composed by Eduard Artemyev, a constant collaborator of Tarkovsky. The score literally counterpoints the music of Bach along with Artemyev’s own electronic work.

MOONSun 21 Jul at 1.35pm

Duncan Jones • UK 2009 • 1h37m • Digital • 15 - Contains strong language. • Cast: Sam Rockwell, Kevin Spacey (voice), Matt Berry.

Duncan Jones’ marvellous debut is a creepy, poignant and funny sci-fi, with a killer lead turn from Sam Rockwell. Sam (Rockwell) has almost reached the end of his three year solo stint mining fuel from the moon for use on Earth. He’s had ample time to reflect on his past, but there’s no denying that his mind has begun to play tricks on him. As his return date approaches, things in Sam’s contained world take a very startling turn... Moon follows in the footsteps of some of the very best big screen sci-fi such as 2001: A Space Odyssey and Silent Running, and it can bear the comparison.

THE RIgHT STUFFSat 20 Jul at 3.15pm

Philip Kaufman • USA 1983 • 3h13m • Digital • English and Russian with English subtitles • 15 - Contains strong language, moderate sex references and injury detail. • Cast: Sam Shephard, Scott Glenn, Ed Harris, Dennis Quaid, Fred Ward, Barbara Hershey, Kim Stanley.

Spanning 15 years of America’s burgeoning space programme and focusing on the original Mercury 7 astronauts, The Right Stuff is the story of those men and women, the media circus that swarmed around them and their very human foibles - with an unexpected and entertaining dash of satire thrown into the mix. Adapting Tom Wolfe’s acclaimed book, Philip Kaufman’s impressive film retains the intelligence, tension and excitement of the source material and makes terrific use of an excellent ensemble cast.

A TRIP TO MARS WITH A LIVE ScORE By S!NK & THE REVERSE ENGINEERSun 21 Jul at 7.30pm

Holger-Madsen • Denmark 1918 • 1h21m • Digital • Silent with live score • PG

In 1918, Earth was in chaos. Small wonder that this film yearns for a better place where the problem of death is solved and harmony reigns supreme. In 2019, Earth is still chaotic. In this, their 6th film score commission for Filmhouse, generously supported by the UK Space Agency, brilliant multi-instrumental trio S!nk are joined by The Reverse Engineer who, using an array of flashing knobs and twisty buttons worthy of a sci-fi classic, applies such passionate and pointed focus to the extraordinary and wonderful noises that his machines produce that listeners are moved to expand their definition of beauty. That Mars, a planet traditionally associated with war, turns out, when the cosmonauts finally arrive, to be a peaceful utopia is emblematic of a film whose strangeness is normal and whose normalness is strange. Their new live score plays out this paradox in the fertile sonic territory where ‘natural’ acoustic instruments land on planet electronica. £15/£10 tickets PLUS SHORT - Instruments in the Architecture: Building the Pianodrome • Austen McCowan, Will Hewitt • UK 2019 • 14m

FOR ALL MANkINDWed 24 Jul at 2.30pm & 5.50pm

Al Reinert • USA 1989 • 1h20m • Digital • 12A • Documentary.

During the Apollo lunar missions from 1968 to 1972, astronauts were given 16mm cameras and told to film anything and everything they could - in space, in orbit and on the lunar surface itself. Two decades later, filmmaker Al Reinert went into the NASA vaults to create this extraordinary compendium of their journeys and experiences. Featuring music by legendary producer Brian Eno, landmark documentary For All Mankind is the story of the twenty-four men who travelled to the moon - told in their words, in their voices, using the images of their experiences.

HIDDEN FIgURESTue 23 Jul at 2.10pm & 5.45pm

Theodore Melfi • USA 2016 • 2h7m • Digital • PG - Contains discrimination theme, mild bad language. • Cast: Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, Janelle Monáe, Kevin costner, Kirsten Dunst.

Often mythologised, the race for space was a time when seemingly anything was possible and heroic efforts often went unsung. As the USA raced to put a man into orbit, NASA found untapped talent in a group of African-American female mathematicians. Based on the unbelievable true stories of “human computers” Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer), Mary Jackson (Janelle Monáe) and Katherine Johnson (Taraji P. Henson), Hidden Figures is an inspiring and entertaining story of crossing gender, race, and professional lines, and dreaming big.

IkARIE xB-1 VOyAGE TO THE END OF THE UNIVERSEMon 22 Jul at 8.15pm

Jindrich Polák • Czechoslovakia 1963 • 1h26m • Digital • Czech with English subtitles • PG - Contains mild threat. • Cast: Zdenek Stepánek, Frantisek Smolík, Dana Medrická, Irena Kacírková, Radovan Lukavsky

Also known as Voyage to the End of the Universe, Jindrich Polák’s pioneering and much-imitated feature is one of the cornerstones of contemporary sci-fi cinema - and a very rare film to see on the big screen. In the year 2163, the starship Ikarie XB-1 voyages to the ‘white planet’ - an epic lightspeed voyage that takes 28 months. Along the way they face hazards, both of deep space and within their own ranks. Adapted from Stanislaw Lem’s 1955 novel The Magellanic Cloud, Ikarie XB-1’s influence can be seen on both - and on almost every other science-fiction vehicle that followed - including Kubrick’s visionary 2001: A Space Odyssey.


This year, we complemented the Italian Film Festival with a follow-on season of films featuring the Oscar-winning Italian actress Anna Magnani - known as “La Lupa” (“The She-Wolf”). Many of these films are incredibly rare to find and even rarer to see in the cinema. Here we present the last two screenings of this exceptional season. All screenings will be introduced by Dr Pasquale Iannone (University of Edinburgh)

ScARRED ASSUNTA SPINAMon 8 Jul at 6.10pm

Mario Mattoli • Italy 1948 • 1h31m • Digital • Italian with English subtitles • 12A • Cast: Anna Magnani, Antonio Centa, Maria Donina, Eduardo De Filippo, Margherita Pisani.

A domestic tragedy turned courtroom drama of sorts, this is the Naples-set story of Assunta Spina (Anna Magnani), whose face is scarred by her brutish husband when she shows signs of dissatisfaction. Scarred was actually the third film adaptation based on this original story, which was initially a novel by Salvatore Di Giacomo, adapted for the stage. Magnani’s strong ‘everywoman’ qualities come to the fore here once more, as her character takes the witness stand - facing an agonising choice between justice and family.

VOLcANO VULcANOMon 15 Jul at 6.00pm

William Dieterle • Italy 1950 • 1h46m • Digital • Italian with English subtitles • 12A • Cast: Anna Magnani, Rossano Brazzi, Geraldine Brooks, Eduardo ciannelli.

Former prostitute Maddalena (Anna Magnani) is exiled from the mainland and returns to the volcanic island of her birth, where she’s only welcomed by her younger siblings. Concerned by the attentions of her sister Maria (Geraldine Brooks) towards the unscrupulous Donato (Rossano Brazzi), Maddalena will stop at nothing to ensure she doesn’t end up in his clutches. Shot practically parallel to the filming of Roberto Rossellini’s Stromboli, Volcano has been seen by some as an act of revenge by Magnani. The pair were estranged lovers at the time.
