The Kid with a Bike Le gamin au vélo

Friday 23 March – Thursday 5 April Cyril is an eleven-year-old boy left in a children’s home after his father decides he cannot look after him. Angry and defiant, Cyril sets out to find his father and also his beloved missing bike. His path crosses with Samantha, a woman who, in an act of generosity, buys back Cyril’s bike for him after he discovers it has been sold on by his father. The Kid with a Bike follows the relationship between Cyril and Samantha and her endeavours to prevent the volatile boy from going astray. The Dardenne Brothers prove yet again that they are masterful storytellers with this touching, but never sentimental, tale destined to captivate viewers with its impressive performances and quiet honesty.

Programme notes are available in the cinema and online at www.glasgowfilm.org Directors Jean-Pierre Dardenne, Luc Dardenne Cast Thomas Doret, Cécile de France, Jérémie Renier Belgium/France/Italy 2011, 1h27m, subtitles, 12A: Contains one use of strong language and moderate violence

Into the Abyss – A Tale of Death, A Tale of Life Friday 30 March – Thursday 5 April The latest documentary from Werner Herzog is one of his finest as he explores the human cost of crime and its consequences. Herzog brings a forensic thoroughness to the stories of a wide range of individuals touched by a triple homicide case in Conroe, Texas in 2000 that led to the convictions of teenagers Michael Perry and Jason Burkett. Herzog’s interest is much less in the grisly details of what happened and more in the legacy it left for the families of the victims, the convicted killers themselves and their loved ones.

He presents his evidence and challenges the viewers to form their own opinion. That is the power and the profundity of this poignant, lyrical film.

The screening on Thursday 5 April (18.30) is a GFT Screen Salon event, see p23 for full details.

Programme notes are available in the cinema and online at www.glasgowfilm.org Director Werner Herzog Cast Richard Lopez, Michael Perry, Damon Hall USA 2011, 1h46m, 12A: Contains execution theme, crime scene detail and moderate drug references

Babycall Friday 30 March – Thursday 5 April Fast emerging as one of Europe’s most versatile stars, Dragon Tattoo’s Noomi Rapace won the Best Actress prize at the Rome International Film Festival for her intense performance in this gripping psychological thriller. Rapace stars as Anna, a single mother who moves to a secret address in Oslo with her eight-year-old son Anders to escape the boy’s violent father. She buys a baby call to check on her sleeping son but finds that it picks up strange noises hinting at the murder of a child. Meanwhile Anders has a strange new friend and his drawing is stained with blood. Is Anna losing her mind or is there real danger lurking in the building?

Bill Cunningham – New York Friday 30 March – Sunday 1 April Bill Cunningham is one of the great unsung heroes of the fashion world. Every week this reclusive photographer contributes two spreads to the Sunday Styles section of The New York Times. ‘On the Street’ captures cutting-edge trends as they develop among the everyday New Yorkers he snaps. ‘Evening Hours’ showcases the latest haute couture statements from the rich and famous around town. This documentary celebrates a life dedicated to fashion photography and includes rousing endorsements of its subject from Anna Wintour and Annie Flanders amongst others.

This is Not a Film Monday 2 – Wednesday 4 April In December 2010, renowned Iranian writer/director Jafar Panahi was sentenced to six years in prison and a twenty-year ban on filmmaking or giving any form of interview after a conviction for crimes against the Islamic Republic. His crime was supporting the protests over the 2009 re-election of President Ahmadinejad and making beautiful films like The White Balloon and Offside which showed Iran to the world. This is Not a Film has been hailed as an ‘urgent and personal defence of the artist’ and covers a day in the life of a filmmaker; a filmmaker barred from making films but who can still dream, plan and let his imagination run free.

Corpo celeste

This Must be the Place

Monday 2 – Thursday 5 April

Friday 6 – Thursday 19 April

Marta has just moved from Switzerland to Calabria, Italy, with her mother and sister.

A rebellious teen, she soon falls foul of the straight-laced local church minions who are trying to focus her and a group of girls on the elaborate preparations for their Catholic confirmation... Discovered in the Directors’ Fortnight section at Cannes last year, this winning drama of one girl’s bumpy spiritual journey and coming of age is beautifully observed and laced with irreverent humour.

Paolo Sorrentino has enthralled audiences with films like The Consequences of Love and Il Divo. His first English-language venture is an extraordinary fusion of road movie, revenge drama and touching family history with echoes of Paris, Texas. A fearless Sean Penn stars as reclusive, oddball rock star Cheyenne. When his father falls ill, Cheyenne heads from Dublin to New York and unwittingly embarks upon an epic quest. This is a film of staggering beauty and immense heart.

Director Paolo Sorrentino / Cast Sean Penn, Frances McDormand USA 2011, 1h58m, 15

Le Havre

Bonsái

Friday 6 – Thursday 19 April

Friday 6 – Monday 9 April

Kaurismäki regular André Wilms plays Marcel Marx, a warm-hearted fellow scraping a living as a shoeshine man in an age when everyone favours trainers. Marcel lives contentedly in the French port of Le Havre with his wife Arletty, but when she is hospitalised he befriends a young African immigrant called Idrissa who is on the run from the authorities as personified by man in black, Inspector Monet. The intricately woven tale of hide and seek that ensues is full of priceless poker-faced comedy and heart-rending tenderness. Kaurismäki can break your heart into little pieces and then fix it so that it feels better than ever.

Destined for acclaim as one of the best films of the year, Le Havre is Kaurismäki on top form.

Programme notes are available in the cinema and online at www.glasgowfilm.org

Chilean director Cristián Jiménez caught the world’s attention with his quirky debut feature Optical Illusions (2009). Bonsái is even better as it juggles love and longing in a hip, funny, slacker romance inspired by Marcel Proust.

Julio is obsessed by literature. He is also desperate to impress fellow student Emilia. We are told that they are not destined to be together which does nothing to spoil the pleasure of a film that tiptoes back and forward in time.

Eight years later, Julio is intent on becoming a writer and takes his inspiration from his student days’ passion for Emilia. The remembrance of romance past is handled with humour and charm in this adaptation of the Alejandro Zambra novella.

Khodorkovsky Tuesday 10 – Thursday 12 April Khodorkovsky captures the ugly face of Putin’s Russia. Mikhail Khodorkovsky was one of the richest men in the world who founded Russia’s first private bank after the fall of Communism. He has spent the past nine years in a Siberian gulag, convicted of embezzlement and tax evasion. Many people suspect the charges were fabricated as part of a plan to silence his opposition to Vladimir Putin and his ruling party. Khodorkovsky knew the risk he was taking when he spoke out, so what made him do it? That’s what director Cyril Tuschi tries to understand in an eye-opening documentary that includes an exclusive interview with Khodorkovsky recorded behind bars.

Oliver Sherman

Friday 20 – Thursday 26 April

Friday 20 – Monday 23 April

Juliette Binoche gives a luminous performance in this compelling exploration of female sexuality from rising talent Malgorzata Szumowska. Binoche plays Anne, a wife, mother and journalist researching an article on student prostitution for ELLE magazine. Her research leads her to Polish student Alicja and Charlotte, a French girl from the housing projects in the Paris suburbs; both have very different reasons for working in the sex trade. As Anne gains their confidence she also acquires an insight into their lives and the sordid work demanded of them and is forced to confront the bourgeois comforts of her own existence.

Lonely veteran Sherman Oliver (Garret Dillahunt) travels to a rural town to reconnect with Franklin Page (Donal Logue), a soldier who saved his life during the war. But an insurmountable gulf has developed between the two men and the disparity in their post-war lives quickly causes tension and reawakens uncomfortable feelings that Page wishes could stay buried. The dramatic tension is steadily built with powerful precision and little relief in this superb independent film.

Blackthorn

A Gang Story

Tuesday 24 – Saturday 28 April

Friday 27 April – Thursday 3 May

Imagine that Butch Cassidy did not die in a hail of bullets in 1908. Mateo Gil’s stunningly handsome western is set twenty years later with Cassidy living in South America under the name of James Blackthorn.

Yearning to reconnect with America and the man who could be his son, Blackthorn hits the trail and soon encounters slippery stranger Eduardo who seems determined to fill the role vacated by the Sundance Kid and nudge him back into a life of crime. Can history repeat itself amid the social and moral changes of the Roaring Twenties? An old-school western with a modern twist, breathtaking scenery and a performance to savour from Sam Shepard.

As an ex-cop, you’d expect director Oliver Marchal to turn in a good, old-fashioned French gangster film, and you won’t be disappointed. Edmond ‘Momon’ Vidal and the Gang des Lyonnais are famed in France for having committed some of the most daring armed robberies in recent history. Adapted from Vidal’s autobiography, this film jumps between the past, where the young ‘Momon’ makes his climb from impoverished gypsy to gun-slinging thief, and the present day, where, nearing sixty, Vidal is retired. Yet, just when he thinks he’s out… Vidal is asked to help break his old friend and partner out of prison.

The Monk

Albert Nobbs

From Friday 27 April

From Friday 27 April

The road to hell is paved with pious good intentions in this painterly, nerve-shredding version of the notorious 18th century supernatural classic from Lemming director Dominik Moll. Vincent Cassel excels as Ambrosio, an abandoned infant raised by priests who has matured into a powerful and respected soldier of the Lord thanks to his unshakeable faith. ‘Satan only has the power we grant him,’ he argues. Why then is he plagued by blinding headaches and a recurring dream in which a woman in red is seen praying in the sunlight? The answer lies at the heart of a thunderous, torrid gothic tale in which Ambrosio’s convictions are tested to the limit.

In 19th century Dublin, Albert is the headwaiter and butler at a posh hotel. He’s an impeccable servant, but an odd, lonely man who keeps himself to himself.

For good reason: he is actually a she, masquerading as a man to improve her prospects for work. Albert’s secret is safe until, one night, the hotel manager insists Nobbs share his bed with a visiting workman. Glenn Close (who also produced, and co-wrote with John Banville) was Oscar-nominated in this role, and it is a terrific performance. But this is hardly a one-man (or one-woman) show: the stellar supporting cast includes Mia Wasikowska (Jane Eyre), Aaron Johnson (KickAss), and Irish actors Brendan Gleeson (In Bruges) and Jonathan Rhys Meyers (The Tudors). **** A gripping ensemble piece. The Guardian

Programme notes are available in the cinema and online at www.glasgowfilm.org

Once Upon a Time in Anatolia Sunday 29 April - Thursday 3 May The latest triumph from revered Turkish filmmaker Nuri Bilge Ceylan (Distant, Climates) is a haunting, hypnotic tale of a group of men involved in a police investigation in the backwater district of Anatolia. One night they embark on a journey, with a prisoner in tow, to retrieve the body of a murdered man. Yet this is far from your ordinary police drama – Ceylan takes little interest in action, preferring instead to build up a remarkable sense of atmosphere and to examine the shifting internal struggles of his characters. Add to the mix the director’s trademark striking cinematography and it’s easy to see why Once Upon a Time in Anatolia captivated critics at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival where it won the Grand Jury Prize.

Monty Python’s Life of Brian

Profondo rosso

Friday 6 April (23.00)

Missing FrightFest? Here’s a stylish and imaginative giallo masterpiece to soothe your blood-thirsty urges. When music teacher Marcus Daly (David Hemmings) witnesses the gruesome murder of a famous psychic, he attempts to uncover the identity of the killer… and soon becomes the next target. This genuinely thrilling horror offers nightmarish images in spades and boasts a fantastic proggothic soundtrack by Italian rock band Goblin.

What better way to celebrate Good Friday than by watching Eric Idle merrily sing ‘Always Look on the Bright Side of Life’ while nailed to a crucifix? This satirical take on organised religion, released to righteous fury thirty-three years ago, is now regularly voted the greatest comedy of all time. A hilarious tale of mistaken identity, it remains eminently quotable. All together now: ‘He’s not the Messiah, he’s a very naughty boy!’

GEEK FILM NIGHT: Mark Millar talks to Ian Rankin

Psychotronic Cinema presents

Sunday 1 April (19.30)

Wed 25 (20.45) & Thurs 26 April (18.30)

In 1978 George A Romero, Godfather of the zombie movie, turned his hand to the vampire myth. Ambiguous and socially aware, with outbursts of gore, Romero’s personal favourite of his own films is a gritty character study of a lonely young man who likes to sedate women and drink their blood. This psychological and surreal classic set in stagnant small town Pennsylvania won’t disappoint with its haunting final act.

Stuart Gordon’s astonishing, hilarious mid80s debut seemingly came out of nowhere; an instant classic that catapulted unwitting viewers into a bizarre universe of perverted mad scientists, talking decapitated heads, attacking entrails and oral sex by the living dead. Almost thirty years on, Re-Animator is firmly established as a horror masterpiece – a mind-bending gore-fest for sure, but also a perfectly pitched, perfectly crafted tribute to the classic Universal horror films of the 1930s.

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

Wild Bill

Monday 2 – Wednesday 4 April

Actor Dexter Fletcher’s directorial debut is a complete charmer with a very likeable central performance from Charlie Creed-Miles as ‘Wild’ Bill Hayward. Released from prison after an eight-year sentence, Bill returns to a South London estate planning to stay out of trouble, serve out his parole and then head to Scotland.

But he cannot easily escape his history with the dodgy geezers and dangerous drug dealers on the estate or his obligations to fifteen-year-old Dean (Will Poulter) and his younger brother Jimmy (Sammy Williams). If he doesn’t stick around the boys will be put in care, leaving Bill with the weight of the world on his shoulders in this surprisingly upbeat and endearing tale.

Forget the misery of broken Britain and head to the glorious warmth of India. That’s the plan adopted by a diverse collection of British pensioners in this delightful adaptation of the Deborah Moggach bestseller These Foolish Things. Shakespeare in Love director John Madden has assembled a once-in-a-generation cast of British actors for a truly heart-warming, captivating tale set amid the wonders of India. Fearing for the future, newly widowed Judi Dench, lonely Tom Wilkinson and grumpy Maggie Smith are among the pensioners attracted to the charms of a luxury Indian hotel run by Dev Patel. Nothing is as they had expected but fresh challenges bring exciting new opportunities.

Jo Nesbo’s Headhunters Friday 20 – Thursday 26 April Jo Nesbo is the new king of Scandinavian crime writing and there is no surprise that Headhunters quickly became Norway’s biggest ever box-office hit. Director Morten Tydlum slams the accelerator to the floor and creates a breathless, twisting thriller that never slackens its grip. Roger Brown is a successful, high-powered headhunter living way beyond his means, lavishing gifts on his stunning blonde trophy wife. He supplements his income by stealing rare artworks from his clients. Handsome Clas Greve and his original Rubens seem like an irresistible target but Clas lives the life of a Bond villain and the two men are soon embroiled in a deadly feud.

The screening on 25 April (18.10) will be introduced by Dr David Archibald.

CLASSICS AT GFT A Streetcar Named Desire

New digital print

Casablanca Friday 6 – Tuesday 10 April Second World War Morocco – a viper’s nest of corrupt French police, spies, fleeing émigrés, gamblers and drinkers, it’s the perfect place for weary American expatriate nightclub owner Rick Blaine to hide out. Rick’s Cafe is the gathering place for the good, the bad and the ugly, but he doesn’t care, as long as they spend their money. One day, Rick’s long-lost love Ilsa walks in with her resistance leader husband, Victor, and Rick is pulled into both a love triangle and a web of political intrigue. Ilsa and Victor need to escape from Casablanca, and Rick may be the only one who can help them. Casablanca is the greatest love story ever told and although time may have gone by, its power has not diminished.

Sunday 8 April (14.00) Elia Kazan’s classic adaptation of Tennessee Williams’ Pulitzer Prize-winning play features Marlon Brando at the height of his powers as the brutally sexy Stanley Kowalski.

His bravura performance is matched by that of Vivien Leigh as Blanche, the neurotic, faded southern belle who, having fallen on hard times, comes to live with her sister Stella, Kowalski’s wife, in a rough, working-class quarter of New Orleans. She and Stanley conceive a resentful fascination for each other – part fear, part desire – and their scenes together sizzle with sexual tension. The film won four Oscars – but Brando missed out to Humphrey Bogart for The African Queen.

This screening will be introduced by Scottish Ballet and preceded by a ten-minute behind the scenes film looking at how their new production of A Streetcar Named Desire translates the dialogue of the play into movement.

La Grande Illusion Friday 13 – Sunday 15 April Director Jean Renoir’s world-view was shaped by the First World War in which he was seriously wounded, and La Grande Illusion has been hailed as the ultimate anti-war film. Yet Renoir shows no ‘war-is-hell’ fighting. The action centres on a group of three French officers – working class Lieutenant Maréchal, nouveau riche Jew Rosenthal, and aristocrat Captain de Boieldieu – and their attempts to escape the POW camp where they are interned. The significance of the film lies not in this action, however, but in the relationships and class dynamics. Renoir examines the fierce bonds that unite the captive French soldiers, even beyond class lines, and highlights the kindness and dignity that develops between them and their captors, specifically between the well-born Boieldieu and the aristocratic German camp commander Von Rauffenstein.

All Divided Selves Sunday 22 April (15.00) A dense, engaging and lyrical collage – Luke Fowler’s new film All Divided Selves weaves archival material of Glasgow-born psychiatrist R D Laing with his own filmic observations, marrying a dynamic soundtrack of field recordings with recorded music by Éric La Casa, Jean-Luc Guionnet and Alasdair Roberts. Drawing on an impressive selection of archive material, Fowler builds up a layered collage, juxtaposing a multitude of viewpoints to create an unconventional portrait of a fascinating figure and a thought-provoking exploration of the very nature of documentation. A Glasgowbased artist and filmmaker, Fowler’s work has been exhibited internationally with solo shows at the Serpentine Gallery, London and at Inverleith House, Edinburgh (until 29 April). In 2008 he won the inaugural Derek Jarman Award for experimentation in film.

Wise Blood

Monday 23 April (20.15) Adapted from Flannery O’Connor’s Southern Gothic novel, John Huston’s Wise Blood brings the novel’s ‘isolated characters looking for spiritual values’ into the post-Vietnam comedown of 1970s America. Brad Dourif’s Hazel Motes is a newly discharged veteran who angrily denounces Christian orthodoxy through his Church Without Christ where ‘the deaf don’t hear, the blind don’t see, the lame don’t walk and the dead stay that way’. In his journey to a sort of redemption he encounters a bizarre and brilliant range of characters including Harry Dean Stanton’s faux blind preacher, Asa Hawks. An untypical but important part of John Huston’s filmography, it is rightly regarded as a cult classic.

Preceded by short film Long Distance Information (8m), directed by Douglas Hart.

Selected by Jim Lambie and introduced by Richard Hell. They are currently working in collaboration and will have other events taking place during the Glasgow International Festival.

Douglas Hart will also be in attendance.

Gorbachev

We Believed

Friday 13 April (18.45)

Saturday 14 April (15.00)

Another superlative performance from Toni Servillo is the driving force behind Gorbachev, a stylish, atmospheric Neapolitan tale of love and loneliness. Servillo’s seedy-looking Marino Pacileo is a haughty cashier at a Naples prison whose prominent birthmark has earned him the nickname of Gorbachev. He is addicted to his poker games in a local Chinese restaurant and to Lily, the beautiful daughter of the restaurant owner. When her father runs into financial difficulties, Gorbachev is all too willing to ‘borrow’ a little money from the prison coffers but that is just the first step on the road to ruin.

Winner of seven David di Donatello Awards, including Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography and Best Picture, We Believed offers an account of the forces that shaped the reunification of Italy in the 19th century. Domenico, Salvatore and Angelo are three young men who share a dream of a unified Italy. They are inspired by the ideas and oratory of Giuseppe Mazzini, radicalised by their time in Paris, disappointed by the failure of the short-lived Roman Republic and eventually drawn to the populist movement led by Garibaldi. Sweeping national events are given a very human perspective in this epic mixture of history lesson and costume drama.

20 Cigarettes

Red Desert

Saturday 14 April (18.45)

Sunday 15 April (17.10)

Based on director Aureliano Amadei’s 2003 experiences in Iraq, 20 Cigarettes is the gripping story of a twenty-eight-year-old anarchist and antiwar activist who receives an offer to fly to Iraq as assistant director on a film about the Italian military ‘peace mission’. Thrust into the middle of a military world he doesn’t approve of, Aureliano is surprised to discover a brotherhood amongst the people he meets. Before he has the chance to finish a packet of cigarettes he finds himself a victim of sectarian violence and, as the sole civilian survivor and witness, becomes an unlikely hero. With its ironic humour, this film offers a different take on the war in Iraq than American films.

We mark the centenary of the birth of Michelangelo Antonioni (1912–2007) with a screening of his haunting first work in colour. Executed with the precision and painterly eye that marks all his work, Red Desert is set in Ravenna, a city defined by its polluted lakes, desolate factories and sense of industrial decay. It is as if the whole planet is stricken with a sickness. Vitti’s Giuliana is a woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown, oppressed by the tragedies of her life and alienated from the world around her. Richard Harris co-stars as Corrado, a mining engineer passing through the city in this strikingly original, underrated Antonioni work that won the Golden Lion at Venice.

Our Life

La nostra vita Sunday 15 April (20.00) Elio Germano won a Cannes Best Actor Prize for his heartfelt performance in this family drama that reunites him with Daniele Luchetti, the director of My Brother is an Only Child. Germano is utterly compelling as a man whose strongest failing is his desire to do the best for the people he loves the most.

Cocky building site foreman Claudio (Germano) is devoted to his wife Elena and their two young sons. When she dies in childbirth, the world comes crashing down around him. Determined to provide for his boys, he embarks on a career as a building contractor where the best of intentions soon lead to impossible dilemmas. This is an emotional tale worthy of comparison with the films of Ken Loach.

Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion

Indagine su un cittadino al di sopra di ogni sospetto Monday 16 April (18.00) Winner of the Oscar for Best Foreign Film, Elio Petri’s masterful political drama is screening in a brand new print courtesy of Glasgow-based distributor Park Circus. Gian Maria Volonté is on chilling form as a police chief who murders his mistress and quietly waits and watches as his colleagues try to solve the killing. He even provides them with clues that might lead to his own arrest in a Kafkaesque drama about the way power corrupts and inspires only hypocrisy and contempt among those who wield it.

18 Years Later Diciotto anni dopo

Tuesday 17 April (18.30) Although masked in typical road trip scenarios (broken down car, hitchhiker etc), the heart of this film is a cross-country cavalcade of emotional discourse.

Anger, jealousy, frustration, resentment… pick your emotion. At the dying wish of their father, estranged brothers Mirko and Genziano must drive their father’s antique Morgan from Rome to Calabria in order to place his ashes next to their mother’s grave. Bouncy music adds a light touch throughout a journey that smartly avoids being a postcard expedition through Italy and seduces with its gentle charm.

JIRI TRNKA Anyone described by Jean Cocteau as ‘a magician who knows how to value childhood dreams’ is clearly very special indeed. The founder not merely of Czech puppet film but of Czech animation in general (all but nonexistent before the Second World War), Jiří Trnka (1912–69) was dubbed ‘the Walt Disney of the East’ both for the excellence of his own work and for his vast and continuing creative influence. Jan Švankmajer worked at his studio, one of Trnka’s colleagues taught the Quay Brothers puppet animation, and his associates Břetislav Pojar and Vlasta Pospíšilová produce stopmotion films like the Fimfárum series (2002–11) to this day.

Trnka first established himself as an illustrator and stage designer before co-founding Trick Brothers in May 1945. After a handful of cartoons (initially Disney-influenced, but Trnka’s own personality quickly asserted itself), he took a huge professional gamble by founding a dedicated puppet film studio and making a feature – albeit one comprising six discrete parts, distributable separately if necessary. He needn’t have worried: The Czech Year (1947) opened to an ecstatic domestic reception, not least because it was so proudly Czech from roots to realisation, just two years after the country emerged from Nazi occupation.

Trnka developed and refined his art over the next decade, reaching a creative if not commercial peak with his sixth and final feature, A Midsummer Night’s Dream (1959). He also adapted Hans Christian Andersen (The Emperor’s Nightingale, 1948), Božena Němcová (Prince Bayaya, 1950), Jaroslav Hašek (The Good Soldier Švejk, 1955) and tales from the dawn of his nation’s cultural and historical memory (Old Czech Legends, 1953), transforming them into exquisitely delicate, often wordless film-ballets, his puppets’ complex vocabularies of gesture and movement effectively rediscovering what the cinema had largely lost since the silent era: a truly international language.

Trnka’s 1960s films were sparser and bleaker, culminating in his final masterpiece The Hand (1965), a heartbreaking portrait of the artist under totalitarian oppression that was the closest that Trnka came to his compatriot Franz Kafka’s paranoid universe. Despite this late foray into explicit political criticism, the Czechoslovak Communist authorities honoured Trnka with a full state funeral when he died four years later. Introduction by Michael Brooke In collaboration with BFI Southbank, Czech Centre London and Czech National Film Archive.

Sunday 15 April (13.45)

Sunday 22 April (12.45)

The most ambitious and original animated project since Disney’s Fantasia, Trnka’s first feature grew out of a concept-testing puppet short, Bethlehem, which became the final segment of this six-part rhapsody tracing the passage of a year in the Czech countryside. Bringing folk legends, traditions, songs and dances to vivid life with the aid of superbly rendered puppets and ever-changing landscapes, it established Trnka as a world-class talent.

Adapted from two fables by Božena Němcová, this was Trnka’s first attempt at a full-scale ballad-driven epic, in which a tale of a poor country boy’s heroic exploits (defeating dragons and rivals with the help of his mother’s ghost in the form of a white horse) combined with greater psychological depth than he had previously attempted. It was visually inspired by Czech painters of the Gothic and Renaissance periods.

The Good Soldier Švejk (Eps I, II, III) Sunday 29 April (14.00) Adapting Jaroslav Hašek’s raucous satirical novel, and also bringing Josef Lada’s equally famous illustrations to garrulous puppet life, posed Trnka one of his biggest creative challenges.

Trnka himself felt that the final episode was the most artistically successful, but there’s much to enjoy in all three, not least the way that the lackadaisical layabout Švejk’s own self-serving anecdotes are realised through cut-out animation.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream Sunday 6 May (13.00) Four years in the making, Trnka’s most celebrated film turned Shakespeare’s play into a multi-layered masterpiece, drawing imaginative contrasts between its very different settings, and giving the ‘rude mechanicals’ a dignity that most productions deny them: Trnka clearly saw these humble craftsmen as kindred spirits.

The puppet animation here reaches a peak of balletic perfection: it’s hard to believe that Trnka didn’t literally breathe life into his creations.

Trnka Shorts for Children Monday 7 May (13.00) Despite his ‘Disney of the East’ nickname, Trnka was never primarily a children’s animator, though there are several delightful exceptions. Czech folktales fuel his cartoon debut Grandpa Planted a Beet and the puppet-based The Devil’s Mill, while The Merry Circus is a charming cut-out performance. The Trnka-designed Little Umbrella brings toys to life after lights out, and The Midnight Adventure pits a wooden train against its electric rival.

Trnka Shorts for Adults Sunday 13 May (13.00) Five shorts spanning almost Trnka’s entire filmmaking career, from the antiNazi proto-Spiderman hero of Springman and the SS to his last masterpiece The Hand, a powerful allegory of the artist labouring under oppressive censorship. Song of the Prairie is a lively tribute to the Western, Passion condemns man’s addiction to high-speed high jinks, and The Archangel Gabriel and Mrs Goose is a surprisingly bawdy take on a Boccaccio story.

The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert Sunday 22 April (19.30) Felicia (Guy Pearce) and Mitzi (Hugo Weaving) – drag queens Adam and Tick – and Bernadette (Terence Stamp) are invited to play a cabaret engagement at an Alice Springs resort.

Each with their own problems, they grab the chance to cross Australia’s red heart and leave their troubles behind. But as their trip unfolds, it seems that reaching their destination will be a new problem all together. Travelling in the lavender tour bus they have christened Priscilla, the girls are in for an adventure that sees them continually colliding with startled outback residents, and swerving from a string of bizarre and sometimes dangerous situations.

Screening with short film Ditto (14m), directed by Bicola Barratt-Crane.

This screening will be introduced by MENERGY’s drag superstar Lady Guillotina Munter. www.menergy.tv Director Stephan Elliott Cast Terence Stamp, Guy Pearce, Hugo Weaving Australia/UK 1994, 1h38m, 15

The Story of Film: An Odyssey Tuesday 24 April (20.00) The Story of Film: An Odyssey, which is currently playing in festivals and galleries around the world, was described as ‘the cinematic event of the year’ when it screened in the UK. To mark its release on DVD, writer-director Mark Cousins has edited together some of his favourite moments from the fifteen-hour film – including Japanese cinema of the 1930s, The Third Man, Star Wars, the great African film Brightness, and the movies of Gus Van Sant – and will talk about the six year process of making it with Glasgow’s Hopscotch Films, including two years of editing in Scotland.

Director Mark Cousins will introduce the film and participate in a Q&A after the screening.

The Island President Tuesday 10 April (20.00) 2,000 Maldive islands are being engulfed by rising sea levels. This visually stunning and politically potent film pits the USA, China and India against one man – former President Nasheed of the Maldives. Single-handedly challenging the international community’s muddled response to reducing global carbon emissions, Nasheed’s campaign methods move from playful underwater publicity stunts to an extraordinary behind-the-scenes climax at the 2009 UN climate conference.

This screening will be followed by a discussion with speakers including Ahmed Moosa, former Maldives special envoy and climate change expert, bringing us up to date and asking what more Scotland can do to help.

The course will also engage with key writings on Almodóvar’s body of work.

Labyrinth of Passion

All About My Mother

Tuesday 3 April (17.45)

Tuesday 17 April (12.45/18.00)

Pedro Almodóvar’s second full-length internationally-released feature marked the first appearance of future Hollywood superstar Antonio Banderas. A freewheeling, pop culture screwball comedy, the frenetic action centres on the converging paths of two sex-crazed unfortunates, nymphomaniac pop star Sexilia and Riza, the gay son of the emperor of Tiran. The film also orchestrates a larger cast and a delirious pastiche of hot-button topics ranging from incest to Islamic terrorism to Lacanian psychoanalysis, all coloured with the polymorphous pansexuality found in all the director’s earliest works.

In Almodóvar’s moving, deliciously flamboyant homage to women – and to all men who want to become women – single mother Cecilia Roth watches her only son die on his seventeenth birthday while racing to get a stage actress’s autograph. As Roth embarks on a quest to carry out the boy’s wish and find his transsexual father, she befriends a richly diverse assortment of women, including a transvestite, a pregnant HIV-positive nun, and the actress her son died pursuing. One of Almodóvar’s finest achievements, it earned him an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, plus two gongs at the BAFTAs.

This screening will be introduced by Dr Christopher Gow, University of Glasgow.

The screening at 18.00 will be introduced by Dr Christopher Gow, University of Glasgow.

Todo sobre mi madre

The Skin I Live in La piel que habito

Tuesday 1 May (12.45/18.15) Dr Robert Ledgard is a world famous plastic surgeon who argues for the development of new, tougher human skin; unbeknownst to others, he has been trying to put his theory into practice, keeping a young woman imprisoned in his mansion while subjecting her to an increasingly bizarre regime of treatments. Almodóvar’s latest riffs on ‘mad doctor’ horror films of old, but turns the seemingly familiar material to the director’s own arrestingly personal ends, investigating the corrosive effects of desire and the very foundations of identity.

This screening at 18.15 will be introduced by Dr Christopher Gow, University of Glasgow.
