January – March 2016
hello
We spend months talking about the “award season”
wondering what talent will get recognition from the
BAFTA, Golden Globe and Academy members.
And while official prizes don’t mean anything, we
have to admit we still love them. The glitz! The
glamour! And then, when a film that we have
nurtured and loved features in the list, we feel
strangely proud. You’ll find quite a few of those
titles in this guide – films you’ve already no doubt
heard talk about (Room, Spotlight, Trumbo) and
a few you maybe haven’t (Youth, The Big Short).
DCA’s annual Oscar competition is back as well.
This is your chance to win free cinema for an
ENTIRE YEAR to see as many films as you can –
look out for it on our website and let us know your
predictions.
Our focus on Japanese filmmaking is back with
a new series of films put together by the Japan
Foundation. The third year we’ve participated in the
tour, this year’s selection once again offers a broad
range of new releases, classics, and of course
anime.
IFFR Live marked the first time an International Film
Festival had simultaneous premieres in cinemas
across Europe. Well known as a hotbed of new
discoveries, we’re excited to participate again
sharing three premieres with you from the
prestigious festival in Rotterdam.
Also brand new to screen, BBC Scotland has
chosen DCA to host the launch of their new series,
Scotland: The Promised Land, with a special
preview and panel discussion that’s not to be
missed.
With the sad news of David Bowie’s passing,
we’ve taken a look back at our favourite of his film
performances and bring Labyrinthus back to the big
screen for you to enjoy.

The Assassin
Nie yin niang
Fri 29 January – Thu 4 February
Forget the wire-work or acrobatics that we’ve become familiar
with through films like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, it’s
time to enter the world of veteran filmmaker Hou Hsiao
Hsien – a place of contemplation, gorgeous visuals and
sword fighting.
“From the intricate and breathtaking costumes, to the wuxia
action, this is a visual feast.”
The Hateful Eight
There are few writer/directors over the past 25
years who have assaulted mainstream cinema
quite like Quentin Tarantino. A two-time Academy
Award winner for Best Screenplay, he is the king
of the quotable monologue and a purveyor of
some of the most memorable scenes in film.
From Reservoir Dogs to Pulp Fiction to Django
Unchained, all his films have included an array
of eclectic characters projecting snappy and
delicious dialogue in between acts of colourful
violence. It’s no surprise then that his new film
The Hateful Eight continues this trend.
Bounty hunter John ‘The Hangman’ Ruth (Kurt
Russell, with a phenomenal moustache) and his
fugitive prisoner Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason
Leigh) travel across the blizzard-engulfed
landscape of post-Civil War Wyoming. As they
seek refuge from the elements they come across
a stagecoach stopover populated by a group of
equally dangerous strangers (including Tarantino
regulars Samuel L. Jackson, Tim Roth and
Michael Madsen). Deception and betrayal are
soon on the cards as it becomes obvious that not
everyone is who they say they are, and the pair
must try to survive the hazardous encounter.
Boasting outrageous and fantastic performances
by the whole cast, and accompanied by Ennio
Morricone’s first original score for a Western in
four decades, The Hateful Eight is another
classic Tarantino outing.

Directly inspired by a chuanqi, or short story, from the period
entitled Nie Yinniang, The Assassin is set in 9th century China
when provincial outposts established as defenders of the
Tang Emperor had become hotbeds of rebellion. It begins
with a black and white prologue before bursting into a rich,
lush palette of colours. Abducted by a nun at the age of ten,
general’s daughter Nie Yinniang (Shu Qi) has developed into
a feared assassin. Her latest target is Tian Ji’an (Chang Chen),
the Governor of the troublesome Weibo province, but this is
the land of her birth and Tian Ji’an is the man that she was
once supposed to marry.
Like a classic Western, Shu Qui’s assassin is veiled in mystery,
with her motivations difficult to follow at times. Pay attention
to the plot, or don’t, and simply enjoy watching a master
craftsman at work. From the intricate and breath-taking
costumes, to the wuxia action, this is a visual feast.
Dir: Hou Hsiao-Hsien

“Quite simply one
of the best films of
the year.”
Room
Based on Emma Donoghue’s novel, Room shows us the world of five year-old Jack (Jacob Tremblay). Living in a ten
foot by ten foot space with his Ma (Brie Larson), he has a bed and a wardrobe, a plant and a skylight, an imaginary dog
and all the love that a mother can bestow. Together the mother and son play, cook, tell stories and watch TV; and in his
world, which is confined to one room, Jack is happy. However, things are a lot more sinister than they appear and it
quickly becomes apparent that mother and son are trapped; imprisoned and lost to the outside world. While Ma has
kept Jack safe for his entire life, she will have to put him in danger if they are to escape into the real world.
Room is quite simply one of the best films of the year. Using a straightforward concept, it is brought vibrantly to life by
staggeringly effective camera work and expert direction. The tension, terror and love on display will have you on the
edge of your seat, and potentially in floods of tears, both happy and sad. Young Jacob Tremblay holds his own with
Brie Larson and they both give outstanding performances. An excellent supporting cast including Joan Allen, William
H. Macy and Tom McCamus tops off a host of great performances. Irish filmmaker Abrahamson has created a film
that’s been showered in praise and nominated for an impressive four Oscars: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress
and Best Screenplay.

The Big Short
Fri 5 – Thu 11 February
You may know director Adam McKay for his work with
long-time collaborator Will Ferrell on ridiculous, hilarious films
like Anchorman and Step Brothers. So it’s safe to say you’re
probably not expecting him to make a drama about corruption,
greed and a worldwide deception by banking groups. Yet his
latest film The Big Short is exactly that.
The film follows eccentric hedge fund manager Michael Burry
(Christian Bale), investor Jared Vennett (Ryan Gosling) and
trader Mark Baum (Steve Carell) as they realise the fragility of
the housing market, and bet on a predicted crash in a bid to
profit from the negligence of the global banks. Although serious
and complicated in its subject matter – the collapse of the
world’s economy in 2008 – this is a very engaging and
humorous drama.
Partisan
Mon 1 – Thu 4 February
From his early appearance in the cult classic La
Haine to more recent outings in Black Swan,
there is a palpable edge of danger in Vincent
Cassel’s performances that make him irresistible
to watch. Possibly one of the most charismatic
actors ever put on film, he is perfect as the
dangerous leader of a utopian commune.
The debut feature film by Ariel Kleiman, Partisan
is a fascinating study of a community isolated,
controlled and shaped by one man’s ideology
against the outside world. Gregori (Cassel) initially
seems to be the kind of surrogate father and
husband that everyone would want. Patient but
firm, he encourages the children and women who
surround him to live freely. But when his young
son Alexander (newcomer Jeremy Chabriel)
starts to challenge some of the house rules, it
becomes clear that Gregori is not only fearful
of the outside world, he is waging a war against
it and chillingly, training his children to be his
soldiers.
Never resorting to histrionics, Cassel plays
Gregori with calm, intense precision, making
the blind trust his followers have for him almost
understandable. Lucky then, that director
Kleiman has found an actor in Chabriel who
could match his intensity note for note.

Sporting excellent performances from no less than six Oscar
nominees and winners, McKay has assembled a superb
leading cast, with Brad Pitt, Melissa Leo, Marisa Tomei and
Karen Gillan in supporting roles. His experience with comedy
brings great moments of light-heartedness to the script, adding
laugh out loud moments to the bleakness of the characters’
situations. A great dramatic debut, The Big Short has amassed
five nominations at this year’s Oscars, including Best Picture,
Director and Screenplay.
Dir: Adam McKay
USA 2015 / 2h10m / 15
Youth
Italian filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino (The Great Beauty) is one of kind – artfully combining his own unique blend of
musings on contemporary life with stunning imagery, off-the-wall performances and a soundtrack that you’re sure
to want to hear again. His second feature film in English, this is a weird and wonderful delight.
A meditation on ageing, creativity, relationships and personal responsibility, Youth takes place almost exclusively in a
luxury Swiss spa resort. Michael Caine is retired composer Fred Ballinger, who has checked in at the request of his
daughter/assistant Lena (Rachel Weiz). Joining
him is young hotshot Hollywood actor Jimmy
Tree (BBC War and Peace’s Paul Dano), who
has the lead role in the latest film by veteran director Mick Boyle (Harvey Keitel). Mick is Fred’s oldest friend, and in
between torturous creative meetings, these two older men walk through the woods musing on the state of their health
and their relationships. Added into the mix is a whirlwind visit by ageing diva Brenda Morel (a stunning turn by Jane
Fonda) who is clearly refusing to go down with the ship, wasting no time in telling the two men what’s what.
“A weird and wonderful delight.”
Youth is an extraordinary mixture of short monologues about life (delivered with skill and precision by the entire cast)
and Sorrentino’s trademark tableaux vivants (which range from a Maradona-esque kicking of a tennis ball to a
Buddist monk levitating). Like a circus ringmaster he weaves this all together beautifully, with music provided by
singer-songwriter Mark Kozelek and contemporary American composer David Lang.

Spotlight
Rams
The true story of the Boston Globe reporters who blew open the story of serial sex offences by the Catholic Church is
skilfully brought to the big screen in the Oscar-nominated Spotlight. Tense and gripping, this is quality filmmaking at
its best.
Icelandic filmmaking has recently been warmly embraced by audiences around the world, and for good reason. Winner
of the Un Certain Regard prize at Cannes, Rams is another wonderful addition to the country’s cinema, boasting
wonderful off-beat humour, a warm sense of humanity, a tight-knit community and of course, great woolly jumpers.
“Tense and gripping, this is quality
filmmaking at its best.”
The Spotlight team are Editor Walter ‘Robby’
Robinson (Michael Keaton) and reporters
Michael (Mark Ruffalo), Sacha (Rachel
McAdams) and Matt (Brian d’Arcy James).
Tasked with finding meaty stories for the paper and investigating them thoroughly before publishing, their newly
appointed editor Marty (Liev Schreiber) encourages them to take an interest in some new allegations: that Boston’s
archbishop has shielded priests who abused their young parishioners. Seizing on the story, the team refuses to let it
go, no matter what the cost. Never shying away from the mammoth task ahead of its characters, Spotlight deftly
exposes the interviews, detailed work and personal sacrifices the journalists undertook to bring the story to light.
McCarthy (The Station Agent, The Visitor) has a genuine gift for portraying friendship on screen and one of the real
beauties of Spotlight is watching the characters support each other in their quest for the truth. A terrific portrait of
journalists at work, with echoes of All the Presidents Men permeating the script and the performances, the film never
takes a step wrong.

In a secluded remote community, brothers
Gummi (the astonishingly understated
Sigurður Sigurjónsson) and Kiddi (Theodór
Júlíusson) live on neighbouring farms. The
two men haven’t spoken in almost 50 years, communicating only when necessary via handwritten notes ferried by
sheepdog Somi. The pride and joy for each man is their sheep and each year they go up against each other, competing
for the prize of best local ram. When a lethal disease in the area leads to all local livestock being ordered to be
slaughtered, their way of life is threatened. A clandestine move to save some of the flock forces the brothers to come
together and potentially settle their dispute once and for all.
“Often hilarious and as heart-warming
as it is heart-breaking.”
Never negating his gift as a visual storyteller, Hákonarson’s background as a documentary filmmaker gives Rams
authenticity as a portrait of an isolated community on the brink of disappearing. Often hilarious and as heart-warming
as it is heart-breaking, this Foreign Language Oscar entry definitely has our vote.

Pride and Prejudice
and Zombies
Deadpool
Fri 26 February – Thu 3 March
2016 will play host to some of the biggest
superhero movies to date (including Batman v
Superman, Captain America 3 and X-Men:
Apocalypse to name just a few), but things kick
off sooner with a film that prides itself on having
more attitude than the rest.
Adapted from the book by Seth Grahame-Smith,
that he adapted in turn from Jane Austen’s novel,
director Burr Steers helms this film version of the
classic weepy tale of tangled love affairs between
differing social classes in 19th century England.
With zombies... and ninjas.
Dad’s Army
When the announcement came that a feature film remake of
Dad’s Army was on the cards there were audible mutterings of
disapproval amongst the Cinema Team at DCA. However, as
the cast was announced, our fears started to disappear and
we’re now looking forward to it as much as we hope you are.
At the helm is the marvellous Toby Jones taking on the role of
Captain Mainwaring, a stiff-upper-lipped veteran who oversees
the Home Guard in a small English village toward the end of the
Second World War. His softly spoken right-hand man Wilson is
played by the droll and always watchable Bill Nighy, and joining
them are two of the cornerstones of great British acting,
Michael Gambon and Tom Courtenay.
The second daughter of country gentleman
Mr. Bennet (Charles Dance, always excellent),
Elizabeth (Lily James) has to deal with the
laborious issues of manners, morality and
marriage. If that’s not enough of a headache for
a young woman to contend with, an army of the
undead just happens to roam the lovely green
countryside of Longbourn searching for victims
to feast on. What is a girl to do when the dashing
Mr. Darcy (Sam Riley) moves in next door?
Grab a samurai sword of course.
The mash up of Austen’s classic tale with
Grahame-Smith’s alternative proves to be an
entertaining story and is bound to appeal to both
ladies and gentlemen alike. With a host of actors
who are no stranger to a period drama (Lily James
is fresh off the sets of Downton Abbey and the
BBC’s adaptation of War and Peace), using
weapons in choreographed fight sequences to
rival major action movies, Steers has made a
perfect date night movie.
Dir: Burr Steers
USA 2016 / 1h47m / 15
Trumbo
Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston might just be in for an Oscar
win with this portrayal of Hollywood screenwriter Dalton
Trumbo, who was blacklisted and prevented from working
during the McCarthy era. The late 1940s were a dark time in
the history of movie making and this is one of the first films to
capture not only how rampant the anti-Communist paranoia
was at the time, but also the valiant fightback from some of
those affected.
Trumbo is one of the best-paid screenwriters in Hollywood.
With a string of hits to his name, he is happily married and
supporting his family in luxury. But Trumbo, a man of
principles, is a long-time member of the Communist party.
After refusing to testify before the House Un-American
Activities Committee, he is sentenced to prison and his
career is destroyed. With no studio willing to hire him, Trumbo
continues to write under a pseudonym (producing scripts
such as Roman Holiday and The Brave One). His long
struggle for recognition lasts ten years, until Kirk Douglas
and Otto Preminger insist that he is hired publicly on
Spartacus and Exodus.
In 1944, as the war reaches its climax, the Allies are poised
to invade France and finally defeat the German army. But in
Walmington-on-Sea, morale amongst the Home Guard is low.
Charged with a new mission, to patrol the Dover army base,
the chance comes to revive spirits and reputation – until
glamorous journalist Rose Winters (Catherine Zeta-Jones)
arrives to write about their exploits. When the MI5 then
discover a radio signal sent direct to Berlin from the village,
rumours spark of a spy, and with the outcome of the war
suddenly at stake, it falls to the veteran servicemen to step up.
Sometimes labelled a “champagne-socialist”, the film makes
a clear case that Trumbo was a man who sacrificed much
for his long-held belief in free speech. There is a lot of fun in
discovering the roles Hollywood stars played in the era (John
Wayne does not come out of this very well), and while the film
is breezy and stylish it also has an important message about
the very basic human need for creative freedom.

After former Special Forces operative Wade
Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) is diagnosed with
terminal cancer, he gives himself over to a Black
Ops experiment that offers him a slim chance
of survival. After undergoing intense and brutal
experimentation that endows him with
accelerated healing powers but leaves him
physically and mentally scarred, Wilson adopts
the insane alter ego ‘Deadpool’, seeking revenge
against the outfit that ruined his life.
Ryan Reynolds was born to play this role and his
excellent coic acting allows him to have a lot of
fun with the character, especially in the moments
where Deadpool breaks down the fourth wall and
talks to the audience directly. Add to the comedy
some excellent action sequences, former
women’s MMA champion Gina Carano and some
inventive cursing, and here you have the naughty

ridiculously entertaining, action-packed adventure
that never takes itself seriously for a second.

A Bigger Splash
Following his astonishing debut feature film I Am
Love, Italian director Luca Guadagnino returns
to our screens with this remake of the 1969
cult drama La Piscine. Set on a Sicilian island,
A Bigger Splash is a claustrophobic, visually
stunning thriller with an ensemble cast to die for.
Taking a much-needed break from the spotlight
and her onstage persona, rock star Marianne
Lane (Tilda Swinton) rents a rustic villa to recover
from a major throat operation with her partner
Paul (Far from the Madding Crowd’s Matthias
Schoenaerts). When Paul’s former friend Harry
(Ralph Fiennes), who also happens to be
Marianne’s ex, appears on the scene, he is not
exactly welcomed. The wild but persistent Harry,
accompanied by his young daughter Penelope
(Dakota Johnson), finally manages to secure an
invitation to stay in the couple’s romantic idyll
and the lines between the four quickly become
blurred.
Taking its title from David Hockney’s pop art
painting, this film is a sophisticated dance
between the characters, with the men and
women’s power struggles unfolding against a
backdrop of music by The Rolling Stones. Sexy
and sultry, their celebrity lifestyle masks the very
raw and dangerous emotions that threaten to
burn their palace down.

Chronic
Freeheld
Fri 4 – Thu 10 March
Michel Franco’s latest film gets under your skin and won’t let
go, resonating long after you’ve left the cinema. Shocking,
but in a quiet, deeply psychological way, Tim Roth is simply
astonishing as a meticulous caregiver whose investment in
his patients is dangerously intense.
An inspirational true story, Freeheld is the sensitive and
moving portrait of Laurel Hester, the New Jersey police
detective who struggled for the recognition of same-sex
partners’ rights long before gay marriage was legal.
Written by Ron Nyswaner (Philadelphia), the film opens with
Laurel (Julianne Moore) on track for a glittering career in law
enforcement. Well respected in her role, the police officer
lives a double life, terrified of being exposed as a lesbian
in the very male work environment. When she meets a local
mechanic, the much younger Stacie Andree (Ellen Page),
Hester begins a romance that will change her life. Happiness
is short lived however as not only is Hester diagnosed with
late-stage lung cancer, when she tries to sign over her
pension benefits to domestic partner Stacie, she is refused.
Their ensuing legal battle in 2005 was one of many that led
to the recent recognition of same-sex marriage.
The film opens with live-in nurse David (Roth) caring for a
terminally ill young woman who is in the final days of her life.
Providing one-to-one care in the home is David’s speciality
and he is very good at his job. He has a warm rapport with his
patients; he is an engaged, sympathetic, professional and
very capable caregiver, but a personal life outside of work is
non-existent. His close patient relationships are complicated
and the fact that they seem to exclude the patients’ family and
friends at the very moment when they should be surrounding
their loved ones raises the question – is he an angel of mercy
or an agent of death?
On screen for the duration of the film, Chronic belongs to
Roth. His performance as David is absolutely one of the best
of his career – skilfully moving between warmth and chill,
sanity and insanity with such precision.

Oscar nominated Amy J. Berg (West of Memphis)
presents a stunning, insightful portrait of the
original ‘Rock Chick’, Janis Joplin. A woman with
a ferocious, soulful voice, she broke into the male
dominated music scene whilst grappling with
her inner demons and addictions. Produced by
Alex Gibney (The Armstrong Lie) and narrated
by Chan Marshall (musician Cat Power), Little
Girl Blue features wonderful archive footage
alongside Janis’ personal correspondence and
contemporary interviews.
Page (who also co-produced) is terrific as the young woman
who just wants to enjoy her final months with the love of her
life, while Julianne Moore gives Hester a strength that keeps
the film away from sentimentality. Michael Shannon is a great
support as Hester’s loyal work partner and Steve Carell
provides the film with some much-needed lightness as gay
rights activist Steven Goldstein, who joined their fight.

Bone Tomahawk
Sun 6 – Thu 10 March
Author turned director S. Craig Zahler brings
some much-needed originality to Hollywood in
this violent and often humorous western-horror.
Like the strange love child of The Searchers and
The Hills Have Eyes, Bone Tomahawk has as
many visual nods to John Huston as references
to the banned cannibal horror of the 1970s.
“Bearing all the hallmarks of
their (Coen brothers) uniquely
quirky sense of humour.”
Hail, Caesar!
In homage to Hollywood’s Golden Age, Joel and Ethan Coen’s latest film is a light-hearted romp with an all-star cast,
bearing all the hallmarks of their uniquely quirky sense of humour.
Set in an era when studios ruled the movie-making world, the job of a ‘fixer’ was one of the most important on the lot.
Eddie Mannix (Josh Brolin) is the man responsible for cleaning up any scandals that threaten the big bosses’ lucrative
film projects. But even for someone as experienced as Eddie, this is going to be one crazy day. As the cameras are
about to roll on the latest big budget swords and sandals epic, Hail, Caesar!, the star of the picture (George Clooney)
is kidnapped and it is up to our man Eddie to save the day, and the box office.
With its premiere set to open the 66th Berlin International Film Festival, the red carpet will literally be heaving with
stars even if just one or two of the ensemble cast arrives: Ralph Fiennes, Jonah Hill, Scarlett Johansson, Frances
McDormand, Tilda Swinton and Channing Tatum.

It’s the 1890s and after treating an injured
prisoner at a jailhouse, small town medic
Samantha O’Dwyer (Lili Simmons) is abducted by
what appears to be a band of Native Americans.
Setting out on a mission to rescue her are Town
Sheriff Hunt (Kurt Russell), back-up Deputy Sheriff
Chicory (Richard Jenkins), gentleman gunslinger
John Brooder (Matthew Fox) and Samantha’s
injured husband Arthur (Patrick Wilson). Having
armed themselves against the dangers of the
desolate desert landscape, they soon discover
that bandits and the harsh Arizona heat are the
least of their worries.
Triple 9
Australian director John Hillcoat (Lawless) returns to our
screens with another story of violence, criminality and
confused morals. With a screenplay by Matt Cook, Triple 9
is a whirlwind thriller about a gang of corrupt police officials
who attempt to outsmart the local Russian mafia.
Originally slated to star Shia LaBeouf, Casey Affleck takes
the central role as young rookie Chris Allen, teamed up with
veteran Sargent Jeffrey Allen (Woody Harrelson). On their
Atlanta patch it soon becomes clear that no one on either
side of the law is playing by the rules. Jeffrey has an
audacious plan to outsmart a local Russian gang who are
manufacturing a 999 call (police code for ‘officer down’) in
order to pull off an impossible heist. What the gang don’t
bank on is the unsuspecting rookie (who they set up to die)
foiling the attack and triggering a breakneck, action-packed
finale filled with double-crosses, greed and revenge.
Kurt Russell is the name that’s sure to draw
crowds to this excellent directorial debut, but
he has a superb supporting cast to back him
up, including the almost unrecognisable Richard
Jenkins. Bone Tomahawk will certainly entertain
the western and horror enthusiasts among you,
but be warned: this film is not for the squeamish
and contains some genuinely terrifying and
disturbing scenes.

With a cast that includes Kate Winslet, Chiwetel Ejiofor,

kind of explosive cinematic experience you’d expect from
Hillcoat – intense, dark and not for the faint at heart.

As I Open My Eyes
À peine j'ouvre les yeux
Fri 29 January, 18:45
Summer 2010. On the eve of the Tunisian Jasmine Revolution, rebellious
18-year-old Farah is more concerned with singing in an underground band
than studying medicine, much to the dismay of her concerned mother. When
Farah disappears it looks as if she’s off on one of her usual escapades. But
has she really? With a narrative that works on several levels and is studded
with songs, this story of a rebellious teen refers to the Arab Spring, and is
also a subtly sketched portrait of a changing mother-daughter relationship.

Choderlos de Laclos’ novel of
sex, intrigue and betrayal in
pre-revolutionary France scandalised
the world on release in 1782, and
now, this production, directed by
Josie Rourke (Coriolanus), and
broadcast live from the Donmar
Warehouse, marks the play’s 30th
anniversary, with a cast including
Elaine Cassidy (The Paradise), Janet
McTeer (The White Queen) and
Dominic West (The Wire).
Former lovers the Marquise de
Merteuil and Vicomte de Valmont
now compete in games of seduction
and revenge. Merteuil incites Valmont
to corrupt the innocent Cecile de
Volanges before her wedding night,
but Valmont has targeted the
peerlessly virtuous and beautiful
Madame de Tourvel. While these
merciless aristocrats toy with others’
hearts and reputations, their own
may prove more fragile than they
supposed.

(David Morrissey – The Walking
Dead, State of Play) is something
of a local celebrity. But what's the
second-best hangman in England
to do on the day they've abolished
hanging?
Amongst the cub reporters and
pub regulars dying to hear Harry’s
reaction to the news, his old
assistant Syd (Andy Nyman – Peaky

the peculiar Mooney (Johnny Flynn –
Clouds of Sils Maria) lurk with very
different motives for their visit.

The Model
Sat 30 January, 14:45
"Are you ready for it?" asks her father as they drive to the airport. Emma,
still an adolescent, nods timidly in affirmation. Beginning as Emma attends
her first fashion shoot, this tender coming-of-age story examines the
temptations and promises of the fashion industry, which drive a beauty to
insanity.
As Emma finds her way around the elusive etiquette of the fashion world
as she quickly acquires the egocentric skills necessary to maintain herself
and be noticed. The Model paints a tender portrait of Emma’s budding
sensuality, which modelling agencies coldly use as bargaining chips during
contract negotiations. As she gradually realises that lust functions as
currency, her innocence falls prey to the tension between the ultimate dream
job and her common sense.

The Bride La novia
Sun 31 January, 14:45
A dazzling adaptation of Federico García Lorca’s play Blood Wedding, La
novia sees a bride forced to choose between her decent, rich fiancé and her
childhood love. It’s the 1930s in the scorching Spanish countryside and the
Bride (La novia) is preparing for her impending marriage. In childhood the
soon-to-be-wed couple formed an inseparable trinity with Leonardo, until
a bloody family feud brought the idyll to an end. The couple’s marriage is
intended as the best way to lay the persistent feud to rest, but the bond
between the Bride and Leonardo is stronger than ever and with her torn
between passion and duty, tragic consequences loom.

Series launch and exclusive preview hosted by Brian Taylor. Around 100,000 Scottish soldiers died in
World War One. Wounded men, widowed women, orphaned children were an everyday sight on the
streets of Scotland’s towns and villages after 1918. But what had they been fighting for?
Join BBC Scotland for the launch of its new documentary series, Scotland: The Promised Land which tells
the story of Scotland in the dramatic years that followed World War One. As part of the BBC’s World War
One commemoration season, the three part series will examine how the war transformed Scotland’s
political landscape and its cultural life, sowing the seeds of modern Scotland and bringing huge challenges
to rural communities.
This event will screen the first programme of the series, The Birth of Modern Scotland. It looks at Scotland’s
turbulent political situation and charts how the war heralded a new era of class politics, shining the spotlight
on the 1922 election in Dundee, one of the most remarkable contests in post-war history.
Brian Taylor will host a Q&A with series contributors following the screening.

Brief Encounter
Sun 14 February, 15:30
Brief Encounter is one of those truly great films which
are easy to take for granted. It is often, quite rightly,
called the most romantic film ever made, one which
perhaps best sums up the English character. Scratch
beneath the surface, however, and you’ll see just how
subversive the film’s depiction of the English middle
class really is. The repressed emotions it is so famous
for can’t stop bubbling to the surface, and in the
extraordinary voiceover by Celia Johnson’s protagonist,
she mentions dark, violent impulses and in her mind she
is every bit as passionate and guilty as Emma Bovary
and Anna Karenina. Director David Lean’s handling of
the material could not be better. The flashback structure
is cut together like an absolute dream and he somehow
conspires to turn suburban London into something out
of a film noir. Absolute perfection!

When this was released in 2011 Hungarian master Bela Tarr announced
that it was his last film, and there is certainly an air of finality about this
uncompromising, apocalyptic vision. After you’ve experienced it you’ll be
thinking about it for days, and you’ll be hoping he changes his mind about
going into retirement.
Set on a remote farm, The Turin Horse depicts a week in the life of an elderly
man, his daughter and the horse. In only thirty meticulously choreographed
shots, filmed in stark black and white, we first witness their monotonous
routine in detail, but as the days progress things begin to deteriorate: the
horse refuses to eat; the wind never lets up; the well runs dry: strange visitors
arrive. As ever, Tarr has refused to comment on what the film means. It’s not
an easy ride, but it belongs in the same exalted company as his previous
films: transcendent and life-changing.

He is one of the most fiercely debated artists and yet one of the most
influential. Picasso collected more Renoirs than any other artist. Matisse
revered him. Monet too. He was an artist that was instrumental in creating
the Impressionist movement and then totally rejected it and went in a
completely new direction – with extraordinary results.
The Barnes Collection in Philadelphia has more Renoirs than any other
gallery in the world and it's there that the search begins to tell the remarkable
story of this remarkable artist.

百日紅～MissHOKUSAI～
Sun 21 February, 15:30 & 18:00
Set in early 19th century Japan during
the Edo period, this award-winning
animation tells the tale of free-spirited
woman O-Ei, daughter of the ukiyo-e
master, Katsushika Hokusai (famous
for his piece The Great Wave). O-Ei is
no doubt an inheritor of both her
father’s stubbornness and his talent,
and her art is so powerful that it leads
her into trouble.
From director Keiichi Hara (Colorful),
Miss Hokusai is based on the original
manga Sarusuberi by Hinako Sugiura,
an adaptation which Hara, a huge
fan of the series, called ‘a dream
come true’.

Seiichi is a ‘kirareyaku’, an actor
whose main job in samurai movies
is simply to be killed-off by the lead
star. When the studio where he
works decides to discontinue its
samurai epics, Seiichi finds himself
at a loss but hope arrives in the
form of a young woman, who soon
becomes his disciple.
Using Charlie Chaplin’s Limelight
as an underlying theme, this
award-winning film pays homage to
the unsung heroes of Japanese film
and is a semi-autobiographical
performance by real-life kirareyaku,
Seizo Fukumoto (71), who’s said to
have acted out 50,000 on-screen
deaths.

Featuring animation and audacious
editing, this idiosyncratic and
inventive film is a timeless treatment
of life in postwar Japan.
Directed by Japan’s most exciting
playwright, author, actor and
filmmaker Suzuki Matsuo (Otakus in
Love), this hilarious comedy is based
on the manga series ‘Kamuroba
mura e’ (“To Kamuroba Village”) by
Mikio Igarashi.
Eburi (Keiju Kobayashi in a careerdefining role) is a lowly salaryman
who drunkenly promises two
magazine editors that he will write
them a masterpiece. Once sober,
he commits himself to the promise
and after deliberating over what to
write, decides a novella using
himself, his middle class life and
his experiences as the theme.

The Good
Dinosaur
Sat 30 January, 13:00
After the worldwide colossal smash
that was Inside Out, Pixar returns
with a thrilling story created more
specifically for younger audiences,
plus, in their trademark style, a
bonus animated short before the
film starts. Set in a world where
dinosaurs never went extinct, the
film follows a young apatosaurus
named Arlo, who meets an unlikely
human friend while travelling through
a harsh and mysterious landscape.
Together their journey brings them
into contact with a range of
colourful characters, not all of
whom are friendly... With a cast
of brontosauruses, tyrannosaurus
rexes, pterodactyls and
velociraptors, this is an absolute
treat for young dinosaur fans
everywhere.

This collection of nine short films is
an assortment of animated delights
for all the family, featuring alien
creatures, bouncing zebras and an
elephant on a bicycle – a celebration
of how wonderful it is to be different!
Including a number of our favourites
from previous Discovery Film
Festival collections, this is an
excellent introduction to the art of
the short story, and features a wide
range of animation styles with wild
and wonderful creatures from around
the world (and galaxy).
Not too many of our youngest
cinema-goers may yet be avid
fans of Mr Bowie, but they are
guaranteed to enjoy his flamboyant
turn as Jareth, the Goblin King, in
this all-time family favourite. Directed
by Mr Muppet himself, Jim Henson,
and executive produced by George
Lucas, 15-year-old Sarah (played
by Jennifer Connelly) must go on
a perilous quest to reach the centre
of an enormous, otherworldly maze
to rescue her infant brother Toby,
who has been kidnapped by the
splendidly wicked Jareth.
This screening is presented as part
of Move It, a new initiative promoting
independent and experimental
animation, see DCA’s website for
more information.

Are you a teenager who loves film?
“Thanks to Discovery Film Festival I have seen so many brilliant films
I would never have had the opportunity to see, and met so many
people who feel the same way about cinema as I do.”
Rowan, Discovery Young Ambassador
Discovery Film Festival is looking for new members aged 15 – 18 to join its team of
Discovery Young Ambassadors. Have you ever wondered how an award-winning film
festival is put together? This is your chance to find out!
You’ll be involved in all elements of the festival: choosing the films, writing for our brochure,
marketing the screenings and coming up with ideas for events and activities. During the festival
there’s loads to do too: you can introduce a film, choose the shortlist for a filmmaking competition,
or even interview filmmakers about their work. You don’t need to have any experience to join the
Young Ambassadors, just lots of enthusiasm and a love of film.
Like the sound of it? Send mike.tait@dca.org.uk a message before Mon 29 February, telling him
about your favourite film and why you’re interested in joining the team! We’ll invite you to meet the
current team, find out more, and maybe even watch an exclusive preview of a new film!

Bowie on Film
Access
Singer, songwriter, performer, producer, painter and fashion icon, David Bowie’s contributions to global
popular culture over the last forty years covered the broadest range. Likewise his film work, and to
celebrate the richness of his creative output we bring you change to: one of his most memorable film
performances of his career in the family-favourite Labyrinthus.
DCA welcomes everyone and we are committed to making our programme
and facilities accessible. We accept the CEA card. Application forms and further
details are available from Box Office as well as large print copies of DCA print
material. Guide Dogs are welcome in our cinemas. Details of audio-described
and subtitled screenings are listed in our print and online at our website.

Sat 5 March, 13:15 & 20:30
Offering a dramatic contrast to his role as Thomas Jerome Newton, Bowie’s
extravagant performance as Jareth, the Goblin King, is one of the stand-out
elements of Jim Henson’s fantastical Labyrinth. In this classic film for all ages,
executive produced by George Lucas, 15-year-old Sarah (played by Jennifer
Connelly) must go on a perilous quest to reach the centre of an enormous,
otherworldly maze to rescue her infant brother Toby, who has been
kidnapped by Jareth. The film features five songs performed by Bowie,
including the perpetual fan favourite ‘Magic Dance’.
The film's concept designer Brian Froud imagined the character of Jareth
as a fusion of Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights and Marlon Brando in
The Wild One. Originally planned as a puppet character, Henson saw Jareth
as an opportunity for a big star name to be central to the movie, and
after considering a number of other musicians (Michael Jackson, Prince,
Mick Jagger) he offered the role to Bowie. With a script co-written by Monty
Python’s Terry Jones, Bowie’s colourful turn is suitably playful, glamorously
decadent and outright kooky enough to hold the audience’s attention even
when surrounded by a room of Henson’s grotesque scene-stealing goblins.

DCA Film Quiz
Thu 25 February, 19:00
With Hollywood's biggest night of the year fast
approaching, when all the film stars and filmmakers get
together and sit in a big room for six long hours to pay
homage to golden statues, red carpets and Louis
Vuitton, we thought we would do the same with the
DCA Film Quiz: Academy Awards Special! Except for
two hours. In a smaller room. With less good-looking
hosts.
Do you know who holds the record for most award
nominations? How many times has someone tripped
on the stairs? Why is it called an Oscar? If you know the
answer to these questions, they won't be in the actual
quiz, but you can try and answer similar ones.
Grab a few friends and come join us for some filmic fun:
£2 per person with teams up to five. Advance booking
recommended.
