Dearest Folks,
The awards season is over and done with and we know where the
chips have fallen. Colin Firth is king of our hearts, Hailee Steinfeld was
in the wrong category, and yet again, the Best Foreign Language
Oscar Winner hasn’t even been released here yet (A BETTER WORLD
will hit UK cinemas in August), so we can’t really comment on that
one...as much as we’d like to. Wouldn’t it be nice to step back, take
a break, and enjoy the sunshine? Bad news though folks, the awards
season is over, but now the filmic fun can really begin. We’ve got
heavy hitters from the festival circuit including Venice Grand Jury
Prize Winner, ESSENTIAL KILLING starring the ever incorrigible Vincent
Gallo. Werner Herzog’s back as well with his cave based masterpiece
CAVE OF FORGOTTEN DREAMS. If you only see one film about caves
this year THIS SHOULD BE IT! We have more but it’s too much for this
one little introduction so can I please invite you to keep reading...

Savage Messiah
with introduction by Ken Russell
Wednesday 22nd June
Dir: Ken Russell
Starring: Dorothy Tutin, Scott
Antony, Helen Mirren
UK 1972, 100mins
Ken Russell’s SAVAGE MESSIAH
uses Jim Ede’s book of the same
name as his source to bring
to the silver screen the life of
Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, focusing
in particular on his move from
Paris to London and his difficult
relationship with his companion,
the writer Sophie Brzeska.
The African Queen Saturday 16th April
PG
Dir: John Huston
Starring: Humphrey Bogart,
Katharine Hepburn, Robert Morley
US 1951, 105mins. Digital.
Three movie giants come
together in this cinematic
classic, combining the masterful
direction of John Huston with the
fabulous chemistry of Humphrey
Bogart and Katharine Hepburn
in their only onscreen pairing.
Bogart won a well-deserved
Best Actor Oscar for his role as
disreputable river-boat captain
Charlie, who forms an unlikely
alliance with Hepburn’s straightlaced Rose. Based on the book
by C.S. Forester, this wartime
romantic adventure sees the pair
forced to travel together down a
hazardous East African river. As
they face dangers and devise
an ingenious way to destroy an
enemy gunboat, both discover
new sides to their personalities,
and before long, their passionate
dislike turns to love.

Les Diaboliques:
Re-issue
24th & 25th May
12A
Dir: Henri-Georges Clouzot
Starring: Simone Signoret,
Vera Clouzot, Paul Meurisse
FR 1955, 117mins
In the most Hitchcockian of all
the films made by the French
master of suspense - like VERTIGO,
it was adapted from a novel by
Boileau and Narcejac - the wife
and the likewise abused mistress
of the tyrannical headmaster
of a seedy boys’ boarding
school conspire to put an end
to his callous brutality.Taut as
a mantrap, the meticulous
script provides plenty of tension,
surprises and shocks, but what
really distinguishes the film is
Clouzot’s beady eye for details
both atmospheric and telling:
a swimming pool clogged with
debris, rancid school meals, and
the dismal efforts of the staff to
curry favour. - Geoff Andrew

UK 2010, 101mins
Over a quarter of a century

Right...I’m afraid our last bash
at screening this cinematic
masterpiece was damned by
a power cut. Never one to give
in, here we go again... 40 years
ago this year, we saw the original
release of Kubrick’s infamous and
ingenious adaptation of Anthony
Burgess’s dystopian tale - delving
into the murky realms of youth
culture, violence, punishment and
reformation.

We’re still working out the full
programme for the first UK GREEN
FILM FESTIVAL, but we know this
little 1970s nightmare is going to
be in there. In an anti-utopian,
overpopulated 21st-century
New York, Heston plays a cop
investigating a murder at the
manufacturer of a synthetic food
on which everyone depends for
survival. During his investigation
he stumbles on a dark secret
about how the city is coping with
its 40 million inhabitants in an
age when consumption, pollution
and climate change are all out
of control.

One night, Oscar is caught up

he lies dying, his spirit refuses to

US 2010, 109mins. Digital.
If you can’t get your head around
how the global economy has
ended up in such bad shape,
then Academy Award winning
documentary INSIDE JOB will
give you the answers.This
comprehensive analysis of the
global financial collapse of
2008 fixes an accusatory eye
on the institutions, academics
and federal representatives who
were meant to act in the public
interest.
Director Charles Ferguson
masterfully guides us through
the history of finance and the
factors that contributed to the
economic crisis.The corruption
and deception he unearths
along the way are, quite simply,
heartbreaking.

Dir: Jerzy Skolimowski
Starring: Vincent Gallo,
Emanuelle Seigner, David L. Price
PO 2011, 84mins. Digital.
A high-octane chase thriller,
ESSENTIAL KILLING eschews
the moral and ideological
implications of the “War on
Terror” instead paring it down
to its bare bones, to the issue of
survival. Withholding locations
and character names acclaimed
director Jerzy Skolimowski (THE
SHOUT, MOONLIGHTING) creates
a dark fantasy from the relentless
pursuit of escaped US military
detainee, Mohammed (a
performance which won Gallo
the Best Actor prize at Venice).

the deadly and now infamous
stretch of road between
Baghdad airport and the Green
Zone.
In 2006, heart throb actor
Guillaume Canet took us by
surprise with his outstanding
thriller,TELL NO ONE. For his
follow up feature he has
brought together France’s best
and brightest in this acerbic
group portrait of the Parisian
bourgeoisie on holiday.
Refusing to accept the official
account of his best friend’s
death, Fergus launches his own
investigation. Part conspiracy
thriller, part social commentary
on security contractors and the
situation in Iraq, this is powerful,
political stuff from the veteran
British director. Gritty from the
word go, Ken Loach’s (LOOKING
FOR ERIC) latest film is both
absorbing and affecting.
Despite a traumatic event, a
group of friends decide to go
ahead with their annual beach
vacation and end up confronting
their personal truths and
traumas.Their relationships,
convictions and friendship are
sorely tested and they’re finally
forced to own up to the little
white lies they’ve been telling
each other.

ORANGES AND SUNSHINE tells the
remarkable true story of Margaret
Humphreys, a social worker from
Nottingham, who uncovered
one of the most significant social
scandals in recent times: the
organised deportation of children
in care from the United Kingdom
to Australia.
This indie gem is the directorial
debut of THE IT CROWD actor and
former MIGHTY BOOSH member
Richard Ayoade and is based on
Joe Dunthorne’s offbeat novel
of the same name. SUBMARINE
stars young newcomer Craig
Roberts as Oliver Tate who is
determined to both save his
parents’ marriage and lose
his virginity before his 16th
birthday, armed with only a wide
vocabulary and near-total self
belief. Charming, funny and with
a great soundtrack, SUBMARINE
marks Ayoade out as a directorial
talent in a similar vein to Wes
Anderson (RUSHMORE) and
Noah Baumbach (THE SQUID
AND THE WHALE).
Almost single-handedly, against
overwhelming odds and with little
regard for her own well-being,
Margaret reunited thousands of
families, brought authorities to
account and worldwide attention
to an extraordinary miscarriage of
justice. Watson’s performance as
Humphreys is mesmerising, and a
wonderful lynchpin in Jim Loach’s
(son of Ken) debut feature.

Starring: Regina Advento, Malou
Airaudo, Ruth Amarante
In 1985, Wim Wenders saw “Café
Müller” by choreographer Pina
Bausch (who sadly died in the
summer of 2009). He was forever
moved by this experience. A long
standing friendship grew out of
the meeting of the two artists
and, with the passage of time, the
plan for a joint film. PINA is this film.
PINA is a feature-length dance
film featuring the ensemble
of the Tanztheater Wuppertal
Pina Bausch. Wenders takes the
audience on a sensual, visually
stunning journey of discovery:
straight onto the stage with the
legendary ensemble and follows
the dancers out of the theatre
into the city and the surrounding
areas of Wuppertal.

This incredibly moving film is
inspired by the real, and still not

murder of seven monks in Algeria
in 1996. When a group of foreign
workers are massacred by an
Islamic fundamentalist group, fear
sweeps through the region leaving
the monks with a dilemma.
Should they save their lives and
flee, or remain at the monastery

rarely make it to UK cinemas
outside of the festival circuit, so it’s
a pleasure to see 13 ASSASSINS
up on the big screen. Miike’s
remake of the 1963 samurai film
of the same name is a bravado
period action film and perhaps
the directors most polished
feature to date. Set at the end of
Japan’s feudal era, the film follows
a group of unemployed samurai
who are enlisted to bring down
a sadistic lord and prevent him
from ascending to the throne
and plunging the country into a
war-torn future.

Staff Benda Bilili were a huge
sensation at WOMAD in summer
2010. BENDA BILILI! follows the
band’s remarkable journey from
the streets of Kinshasa, Congo to
international stardom.
‘Benda Bilili’ means ‘see beyond’,
which has profound meaning
for this group of musicians who
include five paraplegics and an
able-bodied teenager who makes
music from a tin can connected
to a stick with a piece of nylon.
Fantastic music and remarkable
characters make this an uplifting
