From 2 August

OV E

Director: Nicolas Winding Refn. Starring: Ryan Gosling, Kristin Scott Thomas, Vithaya Pansringarm. France/Thailand/USA/Sweden 2013. 90 mins.

After 2011’s ultra-stylish DRIVE, director Refn and Ryan Gosling reunite for a provocative revenge thriller set in the Bangkok underworld. When a boxer’s (Gosling) brother is murdered, his criminal mother (a chillingly badass Scott Thomas) orders him to seek revenge. With a lead performance of the kind not seen since Steve McQueen’s heyday, ONLY GOD FORGIVES is another powerful one-two from the most daring and creative director-star partnership working today.

From 2 August

from up on poppy hill

U

Director: Goro Miyazaki. Japan 2011. 92 mins. Please check at the Box Office whether the subtitled or dubbed version will be shown.

Studio Ghibli’s FROM UP ON POPPY HILL is a tender story of teenage love set during Japan’s accelerated post-war boom and the lead-up to the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. Beautifully illustrated and imbued with nostalgia, this is a poignant coming-of-age tale of two youngsters caught between the ghosts of war and rapid social change towards a very different future.

alan Partridge: ALpha papa

what masie knew

Director: Declan Lowney. Starring: Steve Coogan, Colm Meaney, Sean Pertwee, Felicity Montagu, Tim Key, Simon Greenall. UK 2013. TBC mins.

Directors: Scott McGehee, David Siegel. Starring: Julianne Moore, Steve Coogan, Onata Aprile. USA 2012. 99 mins.

Sports-desk legend and king of chat Alan Partridge (Coogan) makes his big-screen debut in a very funny twist on the Hollywood action movie. When a sacked radio DJ (Meaney) returns to the North Norfolk Digital studios with a shotgun, a hostage situation ensues, and the police send in Partridge as a negotiator. ALPHA PAPA takes one of Britain’s most beloved comedic creations to greater heights than ever.

More battle of wills than tug of love, Henry James’s 1897 novel What Maisie Knew is updated to present-day Manhattan. Ageing rock star Susanna (Moore) and permanently distracted art dealer Beale (Coogan) are the neglectful parents, the magnetic Onata Aprile their six-year-old daughter, and Joanna Vanderham the nanny who evidently cares more for her than they do. McGehee and Siegel’s film is a powerfully executed, deftly observed meditation on an all-too-familiar domestic tragedy.

From 23 August

lovelace

(Cert TBC)

Director: Jeff Wadlow. Starring: Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jim Carrey, Chloë Grace Moretz, John Leguizamo. USA/UK 2013. TBC mins.

Directors: Rob Epstein, Jeffrey Friedman. Starring: Amanda Seyfried, Peter Sarsgaard, James Franco, Sharon Stone. USA 2013. 93 mins.

KICK-ASS 2 is one sequel that’s even feistier and funnier than its predecessor. The ever-versatile Taylor-Johnson (ANNA KARENINA, NOWHERE BOY) returns as Dave, whose alter ego, the costumed crusader Kick-Ass, deploys a peculiar brand of bravery. This time he and his student vigilante pal Mindy, aka Hit-Girl (Moretz, DARK SHADOWS), find themselves up against a team of super-villains led by the Mother F*cker (Christopher Mintz-Plasse).

1972’s DEEP THROAT brought ‘adult’ movies a little more into the mainstream, turning go-go dancer Linda Boreman into a briefly flickering star and making $100 million for the film’s allegedly Mafioso backers. Little but drugs and abuse followed for Boreman, most of it at the hands of her seedy manager/lover, Chuck Traynor – until she finally took control of her life.

Director: Neill Blomkamp. Starring: Matt Damon, Jodie Foster, Sharlto Copley. USA 2013. 109 mins.

In this follow-up to DISTRICT 9, Blomkamp again melds edgy sci-fi with provocative social comment. It’s 2154 and Earth’s wealthiest have left our spent planet to live in luxury on a vast space station. Desperate to join them, Max De Costa (Damon) finds himself up against their hardnosed gatekeeper (Foster). As he battles to reach his goal, he realises that he might also save the lives of millions of fellow earthlings.

the way way back 2A

Directors: Nat Faxon, Jim Nash. Starring: Steve Carrell, Toni Collette, Liam James, Sam Rockwell. USA 2013. 103 mins.

In this engaging coming-of-age tale, shy adolescent Duncan (James) is holidaying with his mum (Collette) and her decidedly hostile boyfriend (Carrell). A chance encounter with the oddball Owen (Rockwell) gives him the confidence to come out of his shell.

Contains one use of strong language and moderate sex and drug references.

dial m for murder 3d P

Directors: Joshua Oppenheimer, Anonymous, Christine Cynn.

Denmark/Norway/UK 2012. TBC mins. English and Indonesian with English subtitles.

Oppenheimer’s extraordinary documentary sees former Indonesian death squad leaders invited to stage re-enactments of their acts of genocide in the style of their favourite Hollywood genre films.

The incredible result is a hallucinatory journey into the minds of killers and the frighteningly banal culture of impunity they inhabit.

Director: Alfred Hitchcock. Starring: Ray Milland, Grace Kelly, Robert Cummings. USA 1954. 101 mins.

A tense chamber piece centring on philandering husband Tony (Milland) and his elaborate scheme to murder his society wife Margot (Kelly), DIAL M FOR MURDER is an often-overlooked masterpiece from the Master of Suspense. Painstakingly restored from original two-strip negatives, this stunning 4K restoration appears in digital 3D for the first time ever on UK screens, providing a perfect chance to re-evaluate the film in its original 3D format.

the act of killing 5

A young criminal couple kill a cop; he takes the rap and gets jailed. So begins Lowery’s affecting deconstruction of classic westerns. Affleck plays Bob, who eventually escapes to rejoin Ruthie (Mara) and their daughter before it all gets horribly worse.

The first film to be shot entirely in Saudi Arabia is a winning tale of a playful girl’s determination to buy a bicycle. Starring sparky, ten-year-old Waad Mohammed in the title role, WADJDA is a total delight.

Director: Sébastien Lifshitz.

France 2012. TBC mins. French with English subtitles.

In French director Lifshitz’s documentary, eleven elderly men and women recall their experiences of discovering their bi- and homosexuality in less-than-tolerant pre-war France. Candid, often amusing, beautifully filmed and ultimately life-affirming.

168 mins.

Pandora (Gardner) is loved by every man who meets her, but seems unable to love anyone back. But things change when the mysterious Hendrick van der Zee (Mason) arrives in town.

By almost any criterion, this is the most important American film of the 1970s: a subversive saga of family values, and an epic account of organised crime. Superbly crafted, with a star-making performance by Pacino.

Director: Hayao Miyazaki. Japan 2004. 116 mins.

Director: Donna Deitch. Starring: Helen Shaver, Audra Lindley, Patricia Charbonneau. USA 1985. 91 mins.

Director: Sébastien Lifshitz.

France 2012. TBC mins. French with English subtitles.

In Deitch’s groundbreaking and involving film, Vivian (Shaver, THE COLOR OF MONEY), an uptight New Yorker, arrives in 1950s rural Nevada to divorce her husband, and finds herself succumbing to new emotions stirred by an out young lesbian (Charbonneau, KISS THE SKY).

Known primarily for gay art-house dramas such as COME UNDONE and WILD SIDE, Lifshitz moves into documentary with these candid, often amusing recollections of coming out in intolerant pre-war France. Eleven elderly men and women express pride at having maintained their moral and sexual integrity; their unhurried interviews, intercut with poetic landscapes and revealing archive material, are both touching and life-affirming.

Thursday 15 August, 6.30 i want your Love (15) Director: Travis Mathews. Starring: Jesse Metzger, Ben Jasper.

USA 2012. TBC mins.

Highlights include:

SEFT-1

Leviathan

Futuristic road-rail vehicle SEFT-1, designed by Mexican artists Los Ferronautas (Iván Puig and Andrés Padilla Domene), arrives on the streets of Liverpool - a provocation to the very way we travel. SEFT-1 will be the second of AND’s artist interventions into transport networks, and is a collaboration with The Arts Catalyst.

A thrilling, immersive documentary taking you deep inside the dangerous world of commercial fishing. Employing an arsenal of cameras that swoop from below sea level to astonishing bird's-eye views, Leviathan is unlike anything you have ever seen; a purely visceral, cinematic experience.

Exhibition

Turning­FACT­Inside­Out­ –

Until­15­September

To celebrate the first decade of the FACT building, we have commissioned a selection of provocative international artists including Nina Edge, HeHe, Katarzyna Krakowiak, Steve Lambert, Manifest.AR and Uncoded Collective to examine and subvert our galleries and social spaces.

Galleries 1 / 2 / Atrium / The Wall / Public Realm FREE­Entry Sun – Fri: 12pm – 6pm Sat: 11am – 6pm

Reflecting FACT’s ten years as a safe space for risky conversations, many of the works in the exhibition explore pressing, and sometimes controversial, political issues.

Google­and­the World­Brain­Cert­TBC The documentary follows the most ambitious project ever conceived on the Internet: Google’s master plan to scan every book in the world and the people trying to stop them. Google says they are building a library for mankind, but some say they also have other intentions.

A­Fragile­Trust­Cert­TBC The shocking story of Jayson Blair, the most infamous serial plagiarist of our time, and how he unleashed the massive scandal that rocked the New York Times and the entire world of journalism.

Experience an active fracking landscape; listen to the secret sounds of the building; take a virtual bike ride across Europe; ask yourself if Capitalism works for you; experiment with Siri; and grow augmented reality forests.

Through immersive installations, public debates, architectural interruptions and online artworks, this exhibition pushes the boundaries of the gallery, extending beyond the walls of the physical building and spilling out into the city and the digital realm.

Turning FACT Inside Out

What's­the­best­thing­about­FACT? AND festival of course! The inaugural project launched back in 2009 and since then has been growing from strength to strength.

Funding The Foundation for Art and Creative Technology is a registered charity and relies on the support of a range of funding bodies, trusts and foundations, corporate members and individuals to continue its work.

What's­making­you­excited­at­the­moment?

Hearing about all the great projects, artists and screenings that will form part of AND festival (3-5 October 2013).

Who­would­be­your­collaboration­dream­team?

I did have a weird dream recently, where I participated in a street game devised by artists Blast Theory. In it I was teamed with Roger Kint, Kevin Spacey’s character from The Usual Suspects and the whole production was set to one of John Carpenter’s synthy soundtracks.

I ended up being killed by kids firing lasers.

Tell­us­....(a­fact,­a­secret­or­a­joke) Many people don’t know that the festival name, Abandon Normal Devices was originally inspired by one of Brian Eno’s Oblique Strategies. These are a set of cards containing a phrase or cryptic remark, which can be used to break creative blocks.
