Director: Alfonso Cuarón. Starring: Sandra Bullock, George Clooney. USA/UK 2013. 91 mins.

An Oscar-worthy Judi Dench plays the titular character seeking out the illegitimate son taken from her whilst she served in one of Ireland’s notorious convents. In this she is aided by journalist Martin Sixsmith (Coogan), whose dogged tactics lead them to a series of superb plot twists. Stephen Frears (THE QUEEN) draws remarkable performances from this odd couple, whose earthy chemistry, coupled with a sharp and very funny script, make PHILOMENA a true delight.

Contains infrequent strong language and moderate sex references.

A wisecracking veteran astronaut (Clooney) and a rookie scientist (Bullock) find themselves stranded in space after an accident. The two leads give emotionally compelling performances as their predicament steadily worsens, but above all it’s the stunning visual achievements of director Cuarón (CHILDREN OF MEN) and cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki that will leave you reeling with amazement.

Cormac McCarthy, the Pulitzer-winning author of No Country for Old Men and The Road, has now written his first original screenplay. The titular counsellor (Fassbender) is a smart, ambitious and morally flexible lawyer who begins to work for the drug-trafficking industry and finds his world unravelling in violent fashion.

McCarthy’s script, Scott’s directing and the magnificent cast should put THE COUNSELLOR at the top of everyone’s must-see list.

111 mins.

Director: Francis Lawrence. Starring: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Donald Sutherland. USA 2013. TBC mins.

Since the 1950s Alabama’s Fame Studios has become legendary for its unique ‘Muscle Shoals sound’. This documentary charts its story primarily through interviews with its founder, Rick Hall, and many of the musicians who’ve used it, including Gregg Allman, Etta James, the Rolling Stones, Wilson Pickett, Jimmy Cliff and Aretha Franklin.

Hall talks candidly about his life, and rousing archive performances add to the film’s immense likeability.

The second part of the thrilling sci-fi trilogy revisits Katniss Everdeen (Lawrence) and Peeta Mellark (Hutcherson), victors of the 74th annual Hunger Games, which President Snow (Sutherland) uses to keep the population distracted and terrified. Snow now decrees that the 75th event will expose the young heroes to a potentially deadly fate – but Katniss and Peeta are beginning to realise that mutiny is fomenting in their homeland.

Director: John Lee Hancock. Starring: Tom Hanks, Emma Thompson, Paul Giamatti.

USA/UK 2013. TBC mins.

The story of Walt Disney’s battle of wills with British author P.L. Travers over the rights to her novel, Mary Poppins, makes for an entertaining yet gently nerve-wracking film and the perfect vehicle for a brace of two-time Oscar winners, Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson.

Directors: Joe Lawlor, Christine Molloy. Starring: Aiden Gillen, Claire Keelan. Ireland/Singapore/UK 2013. 95 mins.

This haunting character study follows a middle-aged man (Gillen) on a trip to Singapore to settle the estate of his recently deceased brother.

Minimal, poetic and striking, MISTER JOHN is a powerful slice of new British art house.

UK/Philippines 2013. 115 mins. Tagalog with English subtitles.

British writer-director Ellis’s (CASHBACK) Philippines-set third feature begins as a poignant account of a young rural couple, Oscar and Mai, who are obliged by poverty to chance their luck in the teeming chaos of Manila. They soon fall prey to unscrupulous lowlifes, but when Oscar gets hired as an armoured car driver, the story unexpectedly turns into a gritty, compelling and sporadically violent crime drama.

bride of frankenstein P

night of the demoN P

Whale followed up 1931’s tragic FRANKENSTEIN with this hilariously camp comedy horror, in which a rival mad scientist persuades Henry Frankenstein to create a mate – in the iconic form of Elsa Lanchester – for the long-suffering Monster.

When an academic attempts to debunk a cult leader’s claims to paranormal powers, he finds himself the object of a satanic curse. Based on an M. R. James story, Tourneur’s brilliantly paced film builds up the atmosphere to unbearably creepy heights.

Director: James Whale. Starring: Boris Karloff, Elsa Lanchester, Colin Clive, Ernest Thesiger.

Sunday 27 October

Director: William Friedkin. Starring: Ellen Burstyn, Max von Sydow, Jason Miller, Linda Blair.

USA 1973. 132 mins.

NOSFERATU: A SYMPHONY OF HORROR P

This is still one of the scariest films ever made, with Blair as the apparently normal 12-year-old girl whose body is possessed by the Devil, and Miller as the troubled priest who must confront the demon within and without.

Director: F. W. Murnau. Starring: Max Schreck.

Germany 1922. 63 mins. Silent.

Don’t let that PG certificate fool you: cinema’s first-ever vampire is still by far the most terrifying. Murnau’s Expressionism collides with Max Schreck’s horrifying performance to produce a film of strange, unearthly beauty.

Sunday 3 November

THE ELEPHANT MAN P Director: David Lynch. Starring: John Hurt, Anthony Hopkins. USA 1980. 123 mins.

In nightmarishly monochrome 1880s London, the seriously deformed John Merrick (Hurt) is rescued from fairground exploitation, cruelty and abuse by an eminent surgeon (Hopkins), the first person to treat him like a man rather than a monster.

Sunday 10 November

Frankenstein P

Director: James Whale. Starring: Boris Karloff, Colin Clive.

USA 1931. 70 mins.

In Whale’s stark, stylish masterpiece, our sympathy with the Monster – a childlike, unwittingly murderous victim – is crucial to the story’s emotional power. Karloff’s famous screen debut is one of the greatest performances in film history.

Documentarian David Bond feared that, like the majority of their generation, his young children spent far too much time glued to their digital screens and almost none in the great outdoors. As selfappointed ‘Marketing Director for Nature’, he resolved to try to redress the balance. In his inspirational film, the resolute and contagiously enthusiastic Bond creates an ingenious campaign, using websites, pledge cards, shopping mall posters, mobile phone apps and handson awaydays.

The appalling indifference and hostility towards people living with HIV in the 1980s and the efforts of New York-based campaigners to combat this are the subject of France’s inspiring, instructive film.

Recent interviews and archive footage shot by ACT UP record the gay community coming together and lobbying to overcome prejudice and, more importantly, obtain the drugs which would stop people dying.

When newlywed Hutter enters Count Orlok’s (Schreck) castle in Transylvania, he soon discovers its ghastly secrets. The unbelievably frightening Schreck scuttles and creeps through the Expressionist shadows in Murnau’s nightmarish vision of Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

This installation combines scientific research with innovative camera techniques, such as Hitchcock’s vertigo-inducing ‘contra zoom’, to produce a three-dimensional, disembodying effect, visible to the naked eye.

Boulos has also chosen to show three of his earlier pieces which explore the possibilities, and limitations, of documentary filmmaking.

Mark­Murphy Programme Technician What's­the­best­thing­about­FACT? The extremely diverse projects going on here!

In my first month I've worked on a set of cross continental live streaming binoculars, an augmented 360 degree drawing workshop linked with Montreal and a hacked knitting machine.

Mental Manipulation

What's­making­you­excited­at­the moment? (at­FACT) I’m looking forward to our last exhibition of the year, Time & Motion: Redefining Working Life. It’s shaping up to be a huge exhibition that will make us rethink our relationship with work.

Who­would­be­your­collaboration­dream­team?

Probably someone like Robert Lepage and Bedwyr Williams. Robert created and directed one of the most spectacular pieces of theatre I've seen called Kà in it's own custom built venue in Las Vegas. Bedwyr is a performance artist who represented Wales in this year’s Venice Biennale. I think the combination would produce an incredible visual feast that I'd be first in the queue for.

Tell­us....(a­fact,­a­secret­or­a­joke) The total weight of all the ants in the world is about the same, if not more than the weight of all the humans on the earth.

Seriously. Thanks to Google for this.
