DID YOU MISS

Bridge of Spies

Sunday 27 – Wednesday 30 December The fourth collaboration between legendary director Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks is a subtle Cold War thriller, scripted by the Coen Brothers, that owes a strong debt to classics of the genre. Hanks plays James Donovan, a lawyer from New York who must negotiate the release of a captured American pilot, a task that finds him thrust into the centre of the Cold War. Spielberg and Hanks ably balance a raw sense of sentimentality and justice mixed with the cold edge of John le Carré-style paranoia.

Director Steven Spielberg Cast Tom Hanks, Amy Ryan, Mark Rylance, USA 2015, 2h21m, 12A contains infrequent strong language, moderate threat and violence

My Nazi Legacy

Sunday 27 – Wednesday 30 December While researching international law, human rights lawyer Philipe Sands came across Horst von Wächter and Niklas Frank, two men whose fathers were advisers to Adolf Hitler, and were later indicted as war criminals for their roles. While Frank repents for the actions of his father, von Wächter cannot bear to see his own father as a murderer: what follows is a series of extraordinary encounters and revelatory conversations. David Evans’ chilling documentary is a study of denial, wartime pressures and the legacies of monsters, and has drawn comparisons to The Act of Killing and The Look of Silence.

Sherpa

Future Shock! The Story of 2000AD

Saturday 2 – Thursday 7 January Sherpas are Nepalese mountaineers who often act as guides for those wanting to scale the Himalayas, the highest mountains on earth. In 2014, documentary filmmaker Jennifer Peedom set out to make her third feature about the Nepalese people, just days before a deadly avalanche took the lives of 16 Sherpas. The film Peedom ended up making offers a remarkably sensitive exploration of the Nepalese people’s grief, contrasted with the disappointment of tourists and tour organisers trying to protect their interests. A morally complex piece, strikingly shot in one of the most breathtaking locations on Earth.

Sunday 27 – Wednesday 30 December In 1977, IPC Magazines began publishing 2000AD, a compendium comic book of sci-fi stories that would come to change the face of the industry. Providing a platform for creators such as Alan Moore (Watchmen) and Grant Morrison (All-Star Superman), the comic also introduced the character of Judge Dredd and is recognised as inspirational for cult fan-favourites such as Robocop and Spaced. This documentary provides interviews with key figures behind the scenes, whilst unveiling the anarchic and unruly history of ‘The Galaxy’s Greatest Comic’.

The Hateful Eight

Friday 8 – Thursday 21 January The inimitable Quentin Tarantino returns with his latest opus, a Civil War-era western about eight strangers who get involved in a plot of betrayal and deception whilst trying to find shelter during a blizzard. With a cast including several decades worth of A-listers (Kurt Russell, Bruce Dern, Samuel L. Jackson and Jennifer Jason Leigh to name a few) mostly confined to a single location, Tarantino once again demonstrates his mastery of dialogue with a script that continuously ratchets up tension before exploding in a violent fervour.

Double Bill: Reservoir Dogs/Pulp Fiction

Sunday 3 January (17.00) Before The Hateful Eight comes to GFT, we revisit the two films that launched the career of director Quentin Tarantino (and kickstarted the careers of many others). With their dizzying array of glamourous characters, disorientating timelines, perfectly-selected soundtracks and razor-sharp dialogue, it’s easy to see why they quickly became the most influential and revered films of the 1990s. Brutal, shocking and funny – and often all three at the same time – they remain the ultimate in cool.

Friday 5 – Wednesday 17 February A small story that delicately balances touching tragedy and absurdist comedy. Winner of the Un Certain Regard at Cannes Film Festival 2015, Grímur Hákonarson’s tale of two brothers in a remote Icelandic farming village is Iceland’s entry to the 2016 Oscars. When a lethal disease begins to creep across the land they own and infect their sheep, brothers Gummi and Kiddi must use everything they have to save their land and stock, despite not having spoken to one another for four decades.

Friday 12 – Wednesday 17 February Janis Lyn Joplin was known as ‘The Queen of Psychedelic Soul’ and, despite her diminutive appearance, she had a voice big enough to speak for a generation. One of the main attractions at Woodstock, Joplin was poised for even greater things before her life was tragically cut short by a drug and alcohol overdose at age 27. During her life she broke down numerous barriers, and Amy Berg’s new documentary tells her story through exclusive archive footage, contemporary interviews and the singer’s own accounts, showing us just why Joplin became an inspiration to so many.

Friday 5 – Wednesday 17 February Dalton Trumbo wrote some of Hollywood’s most famous pictures, from the immortal epic Spartacus to Academy Award winners The Brave One and Roman Holiday. However, he did not receive credit for these films upon their release, and instead found himself on the Hollywood blacklist for ‘Un-American Activities’ during the country’s infamous investigations into communism. Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston brings the famed screenwriter to the screen in this warm biopic that uncovers the absurdity in a system that lambasted one of its greatest talents.

The Front New Digital Print

Monday 1 (16.00 / 20.40) & Tuesday 2 February (18.10) This 1976 comedy-drama follows the tribulations of Howard Prince (Woody Allen), a cashier who lends his identity to writers blacklisted for their perceived communist leanings. At first happy to help his friends, the politically innocent Prince is soon pushed to take a stand against the injustice around him. Although playfully irreverent and filled with Allen-esque humour, the film is also a reminder of the tragic fallout from the McCarthy-era witch-hunts that left many writers (such as Dalton Trumbo) unable to publish their own work.

Born a Thracian slave, Spartacus rose up to become the leader of a violent rebellion against the decadent Romans who oppressed him and his people. Hailed as the first intellectual epic upon its release, Spartacus still stands up today thanks to Dalton Trumbo’s magnificent screenplay, Stanley Kubrick’s direction and an all-star cast including Douglas, Laurence Olivier and Jean Simmons.

Papillon

Tuesday 16 February (17.45) Based on the best-selling autobiography by the French convict Henri Charrière, Papillon was adapted by Dalton Trumbo into a classic drama of endurance and camaraderie. Steve McQueen plays Charrière (whose nickname ‘Papillon’ came from a butterfly tattoo on his chest) who is sentenced to life imprisonment after being falsely accused of murder. Whilst in custody he meets Louis Dega (Dustin Hoffman), a forger and embezzler with whom Charrière forms a bond.

Although the two men appear to have nothing in common, they share a desire for freedom and a will to live.

Roman Holiday

Tuesday 9 February (17.40) Audrey Hepburn’s first Hollywood role won her an Oscar and immediately cemented her place in cinema history. She sparkles as the runaway princess Ann, managing to be equal parts mischievous tomboy and regal monarch. Tired of her restrictive duties whilst on a state visit she slips away and falls for Joe, a foreign correspondent, played by Gregory Peck, who shows her the real city. Setting the standard for romantic comedies, it is the rare film that is as beautiful as it is hilarious.

Crossing the Line

Rachel Maclean: Feed Me

Sunday 17 January (20.40) Margaret Tait Award winner Rachel Maclean’s latest film is a parable of the pleasures and perils of indulgence, and a wicked, waspish skit on a world where greed is good. The film is a provocative exploration of the commercialisation (and sexualisation) of childhood, and a corresponding infantilism in adults. A delirious confection of multi-layered images, made more extravagant by the artist’s trademark multi-character theatrics, this is Maclean’s most ambitious film to date.

Filmmaker Rachel Maclean will attend the screening to take part in a Q&A.

This most spectacular production is an epic tour de force, giving full expression to the strength for which the Bolshoi’s male dancers are renowned. Principal dancer Mikhail Lobukhin is stunning in the role of the legendary gladiator, alongside Svetlana Zakharova as Aegina.
