While We’re Young Friday 3 - Thursday 16 April

This new film from Frances Ha director Noah Baumbach is a bittersweet and hilarious cautionary tale about growing older unwillingly. Josh and Cornelia (Ben Stiller and Naomi Watts) have reached the age where their backs are starting to hurt and their once young friends are starting to settle down with children. Everything changes when they meet twenty-something hipsters Jamie and Darby (Adam Driver and Amanda Seyfried), and welcome a second chance to be young at heart. A breezy comedy that deepens and darkens into something more profound, featuring stellar performances from the ensemble cast. GFF15 Director Noah Baumbach Cast Ben Stiller, Naomi Watts, Adam Driver, USA 2014, 1h34m, 15.

Selected screenings will be captioned – see page 30 for details.

Wild Tales

Screening until Thu 9 April Damían Szifrón’s zesty black comedy weaves together six short tales of individuals on the verge of a complete meltdown. Frustrated by petty bureaucracy, incensed by a cheating husband, emboldened by extreme road rage or sickened by a desperately unfair society, various individuals decide to exact their revenge in the most public, aggressive and satisfying way possible. A comic compendium that has struck a chord with audiences around the world, this is also a stinging assault on the corrupt soul of a country in crisis. GFF15 Director Damían Szifrón Cast Ricardo Darín, Oscar Martínez, Rita Cortese, Argentina/Spain 2014, 2h2m, subtitles, 15

Blade Runner: The Final Cut Friday 3 - Thursday 9 April

Adapted from Philip K Dick’s novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, Scott’s masterpiece has gripped audiences and inspired passionate and fierce debate. Harrison Ford is exemplary as world-weary detective Rick Deckard, who is on a mission to hunt down intelligent but murderous replicants in a neon-lit, rain-spattered future Los Angeles. Cited by many as one of the greatest sci-fi films of all time, this is the definitive version of Blade Runner, that simply must be seen on the big screen.

Director Ridley Scott Cast Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, USA/Hong Kong/UK 1982/2007, 1h57m, some subtitles, 15

The Dark Horse

Friday 3 - Thursday 9 April The true story of Genesis ‘Gen’ Potini; a charismatic chess champion who struggled with severe bipolar disorder. Cliff Curtis (Once Were Warriors) gives the performance of his career as the corpulent, fragile Gen who gets his life back on track by agreeing to coach Eastern Knights, a chess club for at-risk youth. He brings his nephew Mana (James Rolleston) to the group, opening the teenager’s eyes to a world beyond the macho gang culture that has defined his father’s life. The battle for Mana’s future has profound consequences for everyone. Watch our GFF Q&A with Cliff Curtis at bit.ly/GFT-cliff GFF15 Director James Napier Robertson Cast Cliff Curtis, James Rolleston, Kirk Torrance, New Zealand 2014, 2h4m, CTBC

Blind

Friday 3 - Thursday 9 April An outstanding debut feature from writer/director Eskil Vogt, Blind tackles powerful themes with a light, playful touch. When former teacher Ingrid loses her sight she becomes confined to her apartment. However, she loses none of her wit or imagination and spends her days writing fictional flights of fancy reflecting her repressed desires, her anxieties, the lives of her neighbours and even her husband. The increasingly blurred lines between fact and fiction sparks wry reflections on creativity as a means of escape, catharsis and seeing the world more clearly. GFF15 Director Eskil Vogt Cast Ellen Dorrit Petersen, Henrik Rafaelsen, Vera Vitali, Norway 2014, 1h36m, subtitles, CTBC

Lost River with Ryan Gosling Satellite Q&A Thursday 9 April (19.15)

The directorial debut from Ryan Gosling, Lost River is a dark and twisted neo-noir fairy tale and a mesmerising story of love, loss and family.

Set in the virtually abandoned city of Lost River, the fable focuses on Billy (Christina Hendricks), a single mother of two who must venture into the macabre world that exists just below the surface in order to save her childhood home. A bold and striking debut that marks Gosling as a directorial talent to follow.

Following the screening there will be a live satellite Q&A with Ryan Gosling.

Director Ryan Gosling Cast Christina Hendricks, Saoirse Ronan, Eva Mendes, USA 2014, 1h33m, 15

Force Majeure

Friday 10 - Thursday 23 April A seemingly blissful and carefree family vacation is rocked by a split-second decision that has reverberations throughout the couple’s relationship. An ordinary lunch becomes fraught with terror as an avalanche heads inexorably towards a mountaintop restaurant. The father runs whilst his wife and children stay behind to fend for themselves. It quickly becomes evident that the danger was a false alarm; however, this instinct for self-preservation is the spark for a scalpel-sharp examination of love, guilt and devotion that may be even more destructive than the avalanche. GFF15 Programme notes are available in the cinema and online at www.glasgowfilm.org Director Ruben Östlund Cast Johannes Bah Kuhnke, Lisa Loven Kongsli, Clara Wettergren Sweden/Norway/Denmark/France 2014, 1h58m, some subtitles, 15

Cobain: Montage of Heck Friday 10 - Thursday 16 April

‘The most holistic portrait of a rock icon ever created’ – NME 9/10 The first fully authorised documentary of the famed and tragic rock star, whose music changed not only the musical landscape of the 20th century, but who served as an icon for generations. Director Brett Morgen (The Kid Stays in the Picture) fuses never-before-seen home movies, animations and revelatory interviews with a wealth of music and art archives to present a unique portrait of the Nirvana frontman. Fans will learn new things about the man, whilst those who have only recently discovered Cobain will learn just what made him a lasting icon.

Director Brett Morgen, USA 2015, 2h12m, 15

The Tale of the Princess Kaguya Friday 10 - Thursday 16 April

The latest film from the legendary and worldrenowned Studio Ghibli and Isao Takahata (director of Grave of the Fireflies) is an enchanting and gorgeous animation based on the 10th century folk story ‘The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter’. Eight years in the making, it tells the tale of an elderly bamboo cutter who one day finds a tiny girl in a glowing stalk of bamboo. Believing her to be divine, he takes her home to his wife and together they raise the child in their idyllic mountain home. One day the family move to the city and Kaguya is taught to live like a princess; however, she finds her new surroundings stifling and yearns to return to nature.

GLASGOW FILM FESTIVAL PRESENTS

Warsaw Uprising Powstanie Warszawskie Monday 13 April (20.45)

Constructed entirely from documentary footage shot by six propaganda cameramen in 1944, Warsaw Uprising allows the viewer to become an eyewitness to history. Black and white images have been colourised and actors give voice to dialogue that has been compiled by lip-reading. The experiences of cameramen and an American airman are used to provide a narrative structure as we watch Poles huddled in air raid shelters, soldiers shaving, people dodging sniper fire and a no man’s land confab with a Nazi. The result feels as vivid and urgent as a news bulletin. GFF15 Director Jan Komasa, Poland 2014, 1h27m, subtitles, N/C 12+

It Follows

Wednesday 15 April (20.00) David Robert Mitchell makes a smart move into the territory of John Carpenter and David Cronenberg with a teen horror film in which the threat comes from a sexually transmitted phantom plague. It manifests itself as decaying, drooling apparitions that only the infected victim can see, and the only chance of survival is to pass it on to another sexual partner. Nineteen-year-old Jay (Maika Monroe) is the latest victim faced with impossible choices as she figures out how to stay alive and fight back. A horror film where the brains are in the script rather than splattered all over the screen.

Winner of the Critics Choice Award at GFF15.

Director David Robert Mitchell Cast Maika Monroe, Keir Gilchrist, Daniel Zovatto, USA 2014, 1h47m, 15

A Little Chaos

Friday 17 - Thursday 30 April It has been far too long since Alan Rickman directed a film but right-royal romp A Little Chaos has been worth the wait. Rickman stars as King Louis XIV, a monarch with a penchant for the lavish statement. He commissions architect André Le Nôtre (Matthias Schoenaerts) to design extravagant gardens for the Palace of Versailles. Sabine De Barra (Kate Winslet) is the surprise choice to make the plans a reality as she steps into a court full of intrigue, backstabbing and many who would love to see her fail. A witty, biting historical comedy with deliciously funny performances from Rickman and Stanley Tucci. Macaron anyone?

Jauja

Friday 17 - Thursday 23 April There are echoes of The Searchers and Apocalypse Now in this epic journey into obsession starring co-producer Viggo Mortensen.

Danish engineer Dinesen (Mortensen) is stationed with the Argentine army in a remote corner of Patagonia in the 1880s. When his teenage daughter elopes with a young soldier, Dinesen vows to track them down. His quest leads deeper into a dangerous, unsettling wilderness. Painterly and poetic, this haunting existential western was voted one of the ten best films of 2014 in the Sight & Sound critics’ poll. GFF15 Programme notes are available in the cinema and online at www.glasgowfilm.org Director Lisandro Alonso Cast Viggo Mortensen, Viilbjørk Malling Agger, Ghita Nørby, Argentina/USA/Netherlands 2014, 1h48m, subtitles, 15

Gente de bien

A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence Friday 24 - Thursday 30 April

Winner of the Golden Lion at Venice Film Festival, Roy Andersson’s masterful reflection on the human condition unfolds in thirty nine meticulously composed tableaux vivants. One constant through this magical mystery tour of suffering, indulgence and melancholy is the pair of travelling salesmen Jonathan and Sam, who are spectacularly unsuccessful in their attempts to hawk novelty items and bring a little fun into people’s lives. Comparisons with Bergman and Fellini seem inevitable for a film that blends visual fantasy, deadpan comedy and existential angst into a statement on the struggle to be human.

The Falling

Friday 24 - Sunday 26 April

Friday 24 - Thursday 30 April

The second feature from writer/director Duane Hopkins (following his 2008 debut Better Things) is an eloquent, moving and stylised look at a young small-time criminal named Tim (Sunshine on Leith’s George McKay) pushed into adulthood when his older brother is sentenced to 18 months in prison. Attempting to balance a chaotic home life, a descent into nefarious criminal activity and the symptoms of an unknown illness, Tim’s sad downward spiral is expertly captured by Hopkins’ evocative direction.

Director Duane Hopkins Cast George Mackay, Arabella Arnott, Chanel Cresswell, UK 2014, 1h45m, 15

Carol Morley’s follow up to Dreams of a Life is a feverish exploration of raging hormones and teenage angst set in a girls school in 1969.

Generally ignored by her agoraphobic mother, Lydia (Maisie Williams from Game of Thrones) becomes infatuated with her charismatic friend Abbie. After events gradually push Lydia into the limelight, the school becomes filled with a sexual energy and hysteria that spreads like an infection. This film confirms Morley as one of Britain’s most distinctive and exciting filmmakers.

My Name Is Salt Tuesday 28 - Thursday 30 April

What might at first seem like a grim account of backbreaking labour is instead a transformative and striking representation of an astonishing and strange landscape. Every year many families travel to the deserts of Gujarat in India to manually extract salt from the earth, using painstaking techniques handed down from previous generations. Amongst these is Sanabhai, his wife Devuben and their two young children; a small family who director Farida Pacha and cinematographer Lutz Konermann follow over the eight-month season – resulting in a rhythmic, exquisite and captivating piece of cinema.

Far from the Madding Crowd Tuesday 28 (19.15) & Wednesday 29 April (14.45)

John Schlesinger’s original 1967 adaptation of Thomas Hardy’s tale of passion and tragedy in 19th century rural England is as gripping and striking now as it was on first release. Julie Christie stars as Bathsheba Everdene, a proud beauty who inherits her uncle’s farm in the West Country.

Screen stalwarts Alan Bates, Terence Stamp and Peter Finch play Bathsheba’s three potential suitors. With brilliant attention to period detail and striking cinematography from Nicolas Roeg, this film is essential viewing ahead of Thomas Vinterberg’s adaptation later this year.

TECHNICOLOR DREAMS

It is 100 years since the Technicolor Motion Picture Corporation began developing the process that brought colour to the monochrome world of the movies. Years of improvements led to a Technicolor that scorched the screen with the richest reds, the deepest velvety greens, blazing yellows and the boldest blues. If classic films appear larger than life it is often because Technicolor gave them a vibrancy more thrilling than anything modern 3D can offer. This season features classic song and dance films, a landmark melodrama and a striking western that all highlight the way a little Technicolor magic enhanced the dramatic intensity and sheer joy of some of the world’s favourite films.

Easter Parade

Sunday 5 April (15.15) Fred Astaire and Judy Garland starred together for the only time in this joyous, Oscar-winning period musical filmed in vivid colour with effortless artistry. When his partner decides to go solo, Don Hewes (Astaire) vows he can turn anyone into a star, even unsophisticated little dancer Hannah Brown (Garland). Sensational song and dance numbers are accompanied by an Irving Berlin score that includes Shaikn’ the Blues Away, the irresistible title track and many others. If It’s a Wonderful Life is the ultimate Christmas classic then this is the perfect treat for Easter.

Director Charles Walters Cast Fred Astaire, Judy Garland, Ann Miller, USA 1948, 1h39m, U

The Red Shoes

Sunday 12 April (13.00) Jack Cardiff was the master of Technicolor cinematography, using the process the way a great painter deploys all the colours of a palette. Powell and Pressburger’s exquisite classic The Red Shoes is one of Cardiff’s most memorable achievements as he brings a rich depth of colour to enhance the feverish emotions in this swirl of music, movement and performance. Moira Shearer is the promising young ballerina who surrenders herself to domineering impresario Anton Walbrook, and is torn between the pursuit of personal happiness and a ruthless dedication to her craft.

All That Heaven Allows Sunday 19 April (14.15)

The inspiration for Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s Fear Eats the Soul and Todd Haynes’ Oscar-winning Far from Heaven is a glorious Douglas Sirk melodrama with sumptuous Technicolor cinematography from Russell Metty. Lonely widow Cary (Jane Wyman) faces the wrath of her smart country club friends and disapproving children when she falls in love with handsome and much younger gardener Ron (Rock Hudson). The soap opera saga of impossible love serves as an angry attack on the suffocating, petty minded conservatism of 1950s America in one of Sirk’s finest films.

The Man from Laramie Sunday 26 April (15.00)

During the 1950s, James Stewart and director Anthony Mann collaborated on a series of lean, flinty westerns that helped redefine the genre and pave the way for the spaghetti westerns of the 1960s. The partnership reached a creative peak with The Man from Laramie in which Stewart’s mysterious stranger Will Lockhart embarks on a relentless quest for vengeance. Filmed in New Mexico with Stewart performing many of his own stunts, the film uses Technicolor to captures the majesty of the landscapes and the intensity of the emotions. A beautiful 4k restoration makes this rare cinema screening essential viewing.

Director Anthony Mann Cast James Stewart, Arthur Kennedy, Cathy O’Donnell, USA 1955, 1h38m, U

‘A cherishable, woozy-hazy trawl of London from post-war days to yuppiedom’

The Guardian

In 2013 British director Paul Kelly teamed up with much-loved electro pop trio Saint Etienne to create this elegant and evocative film about the UK’s capital. Narrated by Ian McShane, the film uses coloured archive footage from the 1950s through to the 1980s to portray the ‘New Elizabethan’ age – from the optimistic post-war era to the dawn of Thatcherism. When paired with Saint Etienne’s enigmatic score, the result is a striking and rousing look at a city that is constantly changing whilst staying the same at its core. In collaboration with Monorail Film Club.

Saint Etienne will also play an extra set of their hits alongside brand new songs in this special Scottish premiere event.
