The Grand Seduction

Friday 29 August – Thursday 4 September On the brink of economic depression, the townspeople of Tickle Cove hope to attract a new factory to town that will bring with it much-needed jobs. However, the town also needs a doctor. Led by mayor Murray French (Brendan Gleeson), the oddball townspeople band together to entice hotshot doctor Paul Lewis (Taylor Kitsch) to stay beyond his one-month stint as the town physician. An infinitely charming, breezy and winning comedy based on 2003 French-Canadian film La grande séduction.

Director Don McKellar Cast Brendan Gleeson, Taylor Kitsch, Liane Balaban, Canada 2013, 1h53m, 12A: contains moderate sex and drug references.

Obvious Child

Friday 29 August - Thursday 4 September In this unique, daring and hilarious romantic comedy Jenny Slate plays Donna Stern, an aspiring New York stand-up comic who finds herself without a boyfriend and without a job in quick succession. Consoling herself in a bar one night, she hooks up with nice-guy Max (Jake Lacy) and subsequently finds herself pregnant.

Deciding to go through with an abortion, the film follows Donna and Max’s blossoming relationship. This debut film from writer-director Gillian Robespierre is a refreshing and uproarious look at the reality of single life today.

The screening on Mon 1 Sep (18.15) will be introduced by Dr Nessa Johnston, lecturer at Glasgow School of Art, as part of our Contemporary Cinema Course.

Mystery Road

Friday 29 August - Thursday 4 September When detective Jay Swan (Aaron Pedersen) returns to the remote Queensland town that is still home to his estranged wife and daughter, his first case is the murder of a teenage Aboriginal girl. However, the locals are unwilling to cooperate and his fellow police officers seem reluctant to investigate too deeply. What exactly is going on and why does everyone resent his intrusion into matters best left alone? An atmospheric, expertly controlled film of quietly escalating intensity with the feel of a modern day western. GFF14 Director Ivan Sen Cast Aaron Pedersen, Hugo Weaving, Ryan Kwanten, Australia 2013, 1h52m, CTBC

The Keeper of Lost Causes Kvinden i buret

Friday 5 – Thursday 11 September When detective Carl Mørck (Nikolaj Lie Kaas from The Killing) is put in charge of a department of cold cases, he begins investigating the case of a prominent politician, who committed suicide five years earlier. Convinced that the evidence does not add up, Mørck and his assistant Assad decide to find out what really happened, and reopen the case. Scripted by Nikolaj Arcel (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) and based on the international bestseller by Jussi Adler-Olsen, this tense crime thriller will keep you guessing until the very end.

Director Mikkel Nørgaard Cast Nikolaj Lie Kaas, Fares Fares, Sonja Richter, Denmark/Germany/Sweden 2013, 1h37m, subtitles,15

The Notorious Mr Bout Monday 1 – Wednesday 3 September

Known to many as ‘the Merchant of Death’, Viktor Bout thought of himself as an amiable family man and entrepreneur who simply transported goods. Currently languishing in prison for a minimum sentence of twenty-five years (something he sees as a gross injustice), this entertaining and enlightening documentary paints a riveting and blackly comic portrait of Mr Bout. Combining interviews, first-hand accounts and video footage of his exploits, this film features remarkable access to one of the most enigmatic figures of our time.

Directors Tony Gerber, Maxim Pozdorovkin, USA/Russia 2014, 1h28m, some subtitles, 12A: contains infrequent strong language

Night Moves

Friday 29 August - Thursday 4 September Kelly Reichardt’s elegant, eco-terrorist thriller follows the fate of three activists who embark on a dangerous plot to blow-up a hydroelectric dam.

Josh (Jesse Eisenberg), Dena (Dakota Fanning) and Harmon (Peter Sarsgaard) have come together for this one act of defiance but find it impossible to go their separate ways as they face the stark consequences of their actions. A beautifully photographed move into a Hitchcock-style suspense story from the director of Meek’s Cutoff and Old Joy. GFF14 Director Kelly Reichardt Cast Jesse Eisenberg, Dakota Fanning, Peter Sarsgaard, USA 2013, 1h53m, 15

Before I Go to Sleep Friday 5 – Thursday 18 September

Starring Nicole Kidman and Colin Firth, Before I Go to Sleep tells the story of Christine (Kidman) who suffers from amnesia. Each morning when she awakes, her husband (Firth) and doctor (Mark Strong) help her put together the pieces of her past. However, Christine begins to question the reliability of their accounts, and wants to know more about the accident which caused her loss of memory. Based on the best-selling novel by S J Watson, this psychological thriller interrogates the very nature of reality.

Director Rowan Joffe Cast Nicole Kidman, Mark Strong, Colin Firth, USA/UK/France/Sweden 2014, 1h32m, 15

Finding Fela!

Friday 5 – Sunday 7 September Prolific and much-lauded documentary filmmaker Alex Gibney (Taxi to the Darkside, Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room) returns with this portrait of one of the most electrifying musicians and political activists ever; Fela Ransome Kuti. Using the recent Broadway production Fela! as a framing device, Gibney expertly mixes archive footage and talking heads to recount how the Nigerian-born Kuti mixed elements of local dance music, jazz and soul to create the new genre of Afrobeat, changing both the musical and political landscape of the time in the process.

Director Alex Gibney, USA/UK/Nigeria/France 2014, 1h59m, CTBC

Sun 7 (15.00) & Tue 9 Sep (14.50) Directed by multiple award-winning filmmaker Jennifer Baichwal and renowned photographer Edward Burtynsky, Watermark is a feature documentary film that brings together diverse stories from around the globe about our relationship with water: how we are drawn to it, what we learn from it, how we use it and the consequences of that use.

Pride

Friday 12 – Thursday 25 September Inspired by the true story of pioneering gay campaigners in Margaret Thatcher’s Britain, Pride is a heartwarming drama starring Dominic West and Bill Nighy. Set during the miners’ strike of 1984, two very different communities declare solidarity when a group of gay and lesbian activists raise money to support the workers and families of a Welsh mining village. A moving portrayal of the people who were unafraid to stand up for their rights, Pride pays tribute to a triumphant moment in recent British history.

The screening on Mon 15 Sep (17.40) will be introduced by Dr Nessa Johnston, lecturer at Glasgow School of Art, as part of our Contemporary Cinema Course.

The Hundred-Foot Journey

Friday 5 – Thursday 11 September Displaced from their native India, the Kadam family, led by Papa (Om Puri), settles in the quaint village of Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val in the south of France and opens an Indian restaurant, the Maison Mumbai. However, this enrages Madame Mallory (Helen Mirren), the chef proprietress of a Michelin starred French restaurant, and a bitter feud ensues. A stimulating triumph over exile, The Hundred-Foot Journey is a portrayal of two worlds colliding and one boy’s drive to find the comfort of home, in every pot, wherever he may be.

In Order of Disappearance Kraftidioten

Friday 12 – Tuesday 25 September Nils Dickman (Stellan Skarsgård) is a respected and admired member of his small Norwegian hometown, given the title ‘Citizen of the Year’ for his work clearing paths in the snow using his plough. However, once Nils’ son is killed in gang-related activity, the seemingly amiable blue-collar worker goes on a brutal path of revenge. Bone-dry humour permeates the pulpy narrative as Nils slowly but steadily ticks gang members off his list in this bloody treat for the black of heart.

After the death of his parents, Paul never speaks again and seeks solace in playing the piano. However, thirty years later, a chance encounter with a downstairs neighbour leads him on a journey of selfdiscovery. A sad comedy about time passing, memories recalled, and the beauty of life.

Down by Law

Monday 22 – Thursday 25 September Jim Jarmusch’s 1986 film follows three different men in a shaggy dog tale of American jailhouse blues and cheap whisky.

It is the first in a chain of revelations about the family that also illuminate the dark shadows of the war and the relationship between the country’s Catholic and Jewish populations.

A Most Wanted Man

Friday 26 September - Thursday 2 October Anton Corbijn’s adaptation of John le Carré’s novel is a smart, subtle and confident thriller about the identity of a half-Chechen, halfRussian immigrant named Issa Karpov, who finds himself wanted by both German and US security agencies.

Night Will Fall

Monday 29 September - Thursday 2 October From the producer of The Act of Killing, André Singer, Night Will Fall tells the remarkable story of a film which lay in the vaults of London’s Imperial War Museum for forty years. Produced by Sidney Bernstein and edited by Alfred Hitchcock, the film included footage shot by those who liberated Nazi concentration camps in 1945. However, when the British Government withdrew support, the film was discarded. Night Will Fall coincides with the release of the remastered original film, and explores the reasons why it was never shown.

Director André Singer, UK 2014, 1h15m, 15

At Berkeley

Sun 28 (15.30) & Mon 29 Sep (18.30) At Berkeley is director Frederick Wiseman’s latest behind-the-scenes foray into American institutions. Edited from roughly 500 hours of raw footage, the documentary explores every facet of student life. From the power struggle in a student/teacher interaction, to a student’s soliloquy on alienation, Wiseman is a fly on the wall in one of the world’s most prestigious universities. Eavesdropping on the subject of budget cuts in a boardroom meeting, Wiseman deftly portrays the fragility of public education in an enlightening, and often inspiring, documentary.

Director Frederick Wiseman, USA 2013, 4h4m, PG

A Spell to Ward Off the Darkness Friday 26 & Saturday 27 September

BLUES IN THE NIGHT

After the heyday of US film noir in the mid to late 1940s and classics such Billy Wilder’s Double Indemnity (1944), Otto Preminger’s Laura (1944) and Howard Hawks’ The Big Sleep (1946), European noir started to emerge from the shadows through the work of filmmakers such as Carol Reed, Jacques Becker and Jean-Pierre Melville. Spanning more than four decades, this season presents four distinctive European variants on the iconic noir style – dark, fatalistic crime stories wrapped in expressionist visuals – and includes work from directors such as Melville and von Trier.

The screenings on Saturdays will be introduced by film academic and critic Dr Pasquale Iannone.

Hell Is a City

Saturday 6 (15.15) & Monday 8 September (17.50) Co-produced by Hammer Films, Val Guest’s Manchester-set crime drama sees DI Harry Martineau (Stanley Baker) hot on the trail of escaped convict Don Starling (John Crawford). Shot mostly on location, the film makes evocative use of the nocturnal Mancunian cityscape, filmed strikingly by DoP Arthur Grant in cinemascope.

Director Val Guest Cast Stanley Baker, John Crawford, Donald Pleasence, UK 1960, 1h32, PG

Un Flic

Saturday 13 (15.20) & Monday 15 September (18.30) An undisputed master of the existential European noir, Jean-Pierre Melville has influenced countless filmmakers over the years – everyone from Quentin Tarantino to John Woo.

Saturday 27 (15.30) & Monday 29 September (18.10) Servet (Ercan Kesal), an ambitious politician, is responsible for a hit-and-run accident. He makes a deal with his driver, Eyüp (Yavuz Bingol) for the latter to take the blame, a decision with dire consequences for Eyüp’s family. Filmed in desaturated, widescreen long takes, Ceylan’s fifth feature is a compelling, suspenseful modern noir that demands to be seen on the big screen.

The Case Against 8 Wednesday 1 October (19.50)

In 2014, Scotland legalised same-sex marriage – only the 17th country ever to do so. Reflecting this cause across the Atlantic, The Case Against 8 charts the stories of two gay couples in their quest to take on a system stacked against them.

In 2008, California passed Proposition 8, a measure that repealed the right of same-sex couples to marry. In its wake, two of American politics’ heavyweight legal foes unite their differing ideologies to the same end: to overturn the amendment.

Shot over five years, this Sundance awardwinning documentary vividly brings to life one of the most significant civil rights battles in recent decades.

Followed by discussion with Patrick Harvie MSP, Scottish Green Party Co-Convenor.

Salt of the Earth Thursday 2 October (18.00)

‘Has a strong claim to being the most ambitious American film ever made’ The Guardian Banned for a decade in the US, this pioneering agitprop drama traces in absorbing neo-realist style the interpersonal contours of a mineworkers’ strike against so-called ‘austerity measures’.

When safety cutbacks in a zinc mine lead to injury, Mexican and US miners alike withdraw their labour. But the balance of power only starts to shift when their wives get involved – bringing a moving and lyrical definition to solidarity.

The ‘first feature film made of labour, by labour, and for labour’, Salt of the Earth remains a fresh and rousing call for nonviolent resistance in the face of exploitation.

Screen Debates: Women’s Support Group Tuesday 23 September (17.45)

After Saville: No More Secrets? and Saville: The Power to Abuse are two hard hitting documentaries attempting to highlight the Saville Child Abuse scandal which spanned decades in the UK. These programmes ask how well known public figures were allowed access to vulnerable children in a range of settings and remained unchallenged and un-convicted. The documentaries include interviews with survivors, police and senior figures within organisations.

The documentaries will be followed by a panel and audience discussion, exploring issues such as childhood sexual abuse, institutions and their responsibilities, historical responses to abuse and the current legal system.

5 All tickets £5, no further discounts apply.
