signs of being a vampire. And
Drac’s grumpy and very old, old school dad Vlad is about to
pay a family visit to the hotel. When Vlad finds out that his
great-grandson is not a pure blood; and humans are now
welcome at Hotel Transylvania; things are going to get batty!
A clever and funny animated romp that kids and adults will
enjoy. Dir Genndy Tartakovsk, USA. Jan 1, 3, 4, 8, 10, 15, 18
PHOENIX (M) 98min
A spellbinding mystery of
identity, illusion, and deception
unfolds against the turmoil of
post-World War II Germany. Nelly,
a German-Jewish nightclub singer,
has survived a concentration camp,
but with her face disfigured by a
bullet wound. After undergoing reconstructive surgery, Nelly
emerges with a new face, different enough that her former
husband doesn’t recognize her. Rather than reveal herself,
Nelly walks into a dangerous game of duplicity and disguise
as she tries to figure out if the man she loves may have been
the one who betrayed her to the Nazis. Dir Christian Petzold,
Germany. English subtitles. Jan 8, 9, 10, 11, 15, 16, 17
SCREENING IN full DIGITAL PROJECTION & SOUND
THE PROGRAM (M) 103min
This explosive new drama explores
the astronomical rise then long,
dark fall of Lance Armstrong (Ben
Foster). From beating cancer to
winning multiple Tour de France
titles, Armstrong was the complete
package of athlete, ambassador
and hero. But underneath, his rapacious appetite for success
turned him towards performance enhancing drugs. But
no one wanted to believe that his efforts were chemically
enhanced – all bar one Sunday Times journalist, David
Walsh (Chris O’Dowd). A damning drama of how the world
was seduced for so long, by a man too good to be true. Dir
Stephen Frears, UK. Jan 8, 9, 10, 11, 15, 17, 18
THE BÉLIER FAMILY (M) 105min
In the Bélier family, everyone is
deaf, except 16-year-old Paula. She
is an indispensible interpreter for
her parents and younger brother,
especially in the running of their
dairy farm. Though her father has
decided to run for mayor, Paula’s
attentions are elsewhere. After impulsively joining the
school choir, it’s not long before her music teacher discovers
her considerable talent. However his encouragement only
exacerbates the matter of Paula’s independence. Building to
a heart-soaring finale, this raucous and deeply moving film
was a smash-hit in France Dir Eric Lartigau, France. English
subtitles. Jan 15, 16, 17, 18, 22, 24
JOY (M) 124min
Betrayal, treachery, loss of
innocence and the scars of love
pave the road in this intense human
comedy about becoming a true boss
of a family and enterprise facing
a world of unforgiving commerce.
Allies become adversaries and
adversaries become allies, both inside and outside the
family, as Joy’s inner life and fierce imagination carry her
through the storm she faces. Stars Jennifer Lawrence, Robert
De Niro, Bradley Cooper and Isabella Rossellini and defies
genre to tell a story of family, loyalty and love. Dir David O.
Russell, USA. Jan 22, 23, 24, 25, 29, 31, Feb 1
SUFFRAGETTE (M) 106min
A thrilling drama that tracks the
story of the foot soldiers of the early
feminist movement, women who
were forced underground to pursue
a dangerous game of cat and
mouse with an increasingly brutal
State. They were willing to lose
everything in their fight for equality - their jobs, their homes,
their children and their lives. Maud (Carey Mulligan) was
one such foot soldier. The story of her fight for dignity is as
gripping and visceral as any thriller; it is also heart-breaking
and inspirational. Also stars Helena Bonham Carter and
Meryl Streep. Dir Sarah Gavron, UK. Jan 29, 30, 31, Feb 1
PEGGY GUGGENHEIM: ART ADDICT (M) 96min
Peggy Guggenheim was an
American heiress ahead of her
time, who became one of the
most influential and powerful art
collectors in history. As she moved
through the cultural upheaval of the
20th Century, she collected not only
art, but artists. Her personal history included such figures as
Samuel Beckett and Marcel Duchamp, and was instrumental
in advancing the careers of several modern artists including
Jackson Pollock and Max Ernst. Dir Lisa Immordino Vreeland,
USA. Jan 29, 30, 31

Una Stubbs, Louise Brealey and Amanda Abbington join the cast. It is directed by Douglas Mackinnon (Doctor Who,
