Son of Saul Saul fia

Screening until Thursday 12 May Winner of Best Foreign Language Film at this year’s Oscars, László Nemes’ astonishingly assured debut feature breaks from traditional depictions of the Holocaust in cinema. Saul Ausländer, a prisoner of Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1944, is tasked with burning the corpses of his own people. However, when he finds the body of a boy he believes to be his son, he tries to save the remains in order to give the child a proper Jewish burial. A devastating portrait of life in a concentration camp, Nemes eschews the wider historical narrative in favour of maintaining a close-up, subjective portrayal of a single man’s experiences.

Director László Nemes Cast Géza Röhrig, Levente Molnár, Urs Rechn, Hungary 2015, 1h47m, subtitles, 15

Demolition

Screening until Thursday 5 May Davis (Jake Gyllenhaal), a successful investment banker, struggles after losing his wife in a tragic car crash. Despite pressure from his father-in-law Phil (Chris Cooper) to pull it together, Davis continues to unravel. What starts as a complaint letter to a vending machine company turns into a series of letters revealing startling personal admissions. Davis’ letters catch the attention of customer service rep Karen (Naomi Watts) and the two form an unlikely connection. With the help of Karen and her son Chris (newcomer Judah Lewis), Davis starts to rebuild, beginning with the demolition of the life he once knew.

Director Jean-Marc Vallée Cast Jake Gyllenhaal, Naomi Watts, Chris Cooper, USA 2015, 1h40m, 15

Évolution

Friday 6 – Monday 9 May With hints of Cronenberg and H P Lovecraft, Évolution delicately explores unsettling territory with beautiful and mesmerising imagery. Nicolas lives in a remote Mediterranean island village populated solely by pre-teen boys and their mothers. One day, after making a strange discovery, Nicolas reports to the island’s hospital where he comes face-to-face with the bizarre origins of his community. Lucile Hadžihalilovic conjures a uniquely strange and impressionistic coming-ofage tale. Screenings will be preceded by the short film Always (Crashing). A HOME comission, this short presents an abstract trip into a physical and emotional hinterland in which sound is as important as image (UK 2016, 15m, 15).

Director Lucile Hadžihalilovic Cast Max Brebant, Roxane Duran, Julie-Marie Parmentier, France/Belgium/Spain 2015, 1h21m, subtitles, 15

Florence Foster Jenkins

Friday 6 – Thursday 19 May Stephen Frears (Philomena) directs Meryl Streep in this charming and almost unbelievable true story.

Florence is a New York heiress who pursues her dream of being an opera singer, unaware that the beautiful voice she hears in her head is comically bad to her audience. Her husband and manager, St Clair Bayfield (Hugh Grant) protects her from this reality but faces his greatest challenge when she decides to perform at Carnegie Hall. Grant and Streep deliver excellent performances in this warm and humorous film about the power of self-belief.

Director Stephen Frears Cast Meryl Streep, Hugh Grant, Simon Helberg, UK 2016, 1h50m, PG

Arabian Nights Vol 2: The Desolate One

Arabian Nights Vol 3: The Enchanted One

Screening until Thursday 5 May Miguel Gomes’ three-part epic Arabian Nights is a vastly ambitious, hugely exuberant fresco in which he attempts to address the problems of modern Portugal using the structure of Scheherazade’s ‘One Thousand and One Nights’. It begins as Gomes struggles to justify making such an extravagant film in a time of austerity. What follows are real-life tales of hardship, poverty and addiction, juxtaposed with colourful yarns of cunning wasps, exploding whales, overexcited politicians and a talking cockerel.

Specially commissioned programme notes will be available.

Friday 13 – Sunday 15 May The third instalment of the ambitious Arabian Nights sees our narrator Scheherazade (Crista Alfaiate) meet her father, The Grand Vizier. Set to the backdrop of a sun-dappled Marseille masquerading as Baghdad, our storyteller launches into her final tale of a community of captivated, working class bird-trappers who train Chaffinches to sing for competition. Miguel Gomes brings his epic tale to its majestic conclusion in this sprawling and gently intimate final volume.

Specially commissioned programme notes will be available.

AUDIENCE AWARD

2016

Mustang

Friday 13 – Sunday 22 May Winner of the Audience Award at Glasgow Film Festival 2016, Deniz Gamze Ergüven’s extraordinary debut depicts the way female sexuality becomes a challenge in a strict society. Five orphan sisters innocently head to the beach with male classmates. A disapproving neighbour reports them and their uncle responds by keeping them under lock and key. Playful teenage rebellion becomes a fight for survival as the girls face a family determined to mould them into compliant young women and potential wives.

Specially commissioned programme notes will be available.

Sat 14 (13.50) & Sun 15 May (19.15) We’re offering possibly the last chance to see Ridley Scott’s masterpiece on the big screen for the foreseeable future, before the current distribution rights expire. Adapted from Philip K Dick’s novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, Blade Runner has gripped audiences and inspired passionate and fierce debate.

Harrison Ford is exemplary as the world weary detective hunting down intelligent but murderous replicants in a neon-lit, rain-spattered future Los Angeles. The age-old question of what it means to be human has rarely been dramatised with such insight and contemplation.

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

Friday 20 – Sunday 22 May The brilliant Ricardo Darin (The Secret in Their Eyes) and Almodovar regular Javier Camara are perfectly cast in this bittersweet study of a friendship that endures through all the hardships and heartaches that life provides. Tomas (Câmara) flies from Canada to Madrid to visit his friend Julian (Darin) and his beloved, sad-eyed dog Truman. Julian has terminal cancer and the reunion is also a fond farewell as the two men reflect on all the joys and sorrows they have experienced. A wise and witty buddy movie played with immense feeling by two actors at the peak of their powers.

Sing Street

Friday 20 May – Thursday 2 June One of the resounding hits of Glasgow Film Festival returns in all its crowd-pleasing glory. Sing Street is set in Dublin during the 1980s, where 14 year-old Cosmo (Ferdia Walsh-Peelo) faces a sea of troubles – unhappy home life, a ne’er-do-well older brother and a new school where the pupils are rough and the teachers are tougher. He does what any teenager would do: forms a band and aims to win the heart of the beautiful and mysterious Raphina (Lucy Boynton) by inviting her to star in his music videos. An electrifying coming of age story with a killer 80s soundtrack.

Director John Carney Cast Aiden Gillen, Maria Doyle Kennedy, Jack Reynor, Ireland 2015, 1h48m, 12A: infrequent strong language, drug use, moderate sex references, smoking

Journey to the Shore Kishibe no tabi

Piano teacher Mizuki continues to grieve for her husband who disappeared three years ago. One evening, he appears in their apartment, telling her that he died at sea and inviting her on a journey to meet all the people who showed him kindness on his long journey home. The couple embark on a trip of touching encounters that deepens the love they have always felt for each other.

Director Kiyoshi Kurosawa Cast Eri Fukatsu, Tadanobu Asano, Masao Komatsu Japan/France 2014, 2h8m, subtitles, 12: moderate sex

Heart of a Dog

Monday 23 – Thu 26 May David Foster Wallace wrote that ‘every love story is a ghost story’. Laurie Anderson takes that thought to heart in her beguiling stream of consciousness essay that weaves a tapestry of images, thoughts and musical riffs around the special bond she enjoyed with her beloved rat terrier Lolabelle who died in 2011. Using her own animation and 8mm home movies, Anderson quotes Kierkegaard, Wittgenstein and the Tibetan Book of the Dead as she constructs a warm, playful and emotional reflection on love and death in the shadow of successive family losses including her mother and her husband Lou Reed.

A wonderful reflection on puppy love.

Director Laurie Anderson, USA/France 2015, 1h15m, PG

Love & Friendship

Friday 27 May – Thursday 9 June Whit Stillman, who has built a career on chronicling the lives of aimless youths within privileged circles, brings his hilarious and sardonic view to the world of Jane Austen in this adaptation of her early novella Lady Susan. Lady Susan Vernon (a career-best Kate Beckinsale) is a ruthless and beautiful widow who takes residence at her in-laws’ grand countryside estate in Churchill. However, her plans to secure her financial future are thrown into disarray by new arrivals to the estate that include her daughter and a suitor (a scene-stealing Tom Bennett). A wickedly hysterical and biting adaptation that is both faithful to its period and bracingly modern. Specially commissioned programme notes will be available.

Director Whit Stillman Cast Kate Beckinsale, Chloë Sevigny, Xavier Samuel, Ireland/France/USA 2016, 1h32m, U

Departure

Tuesday 24 – Thursday 26 May Andrew Steggall’s assured first feature is a sensitively-handled coming-of-age tale set in the Languedoc region of France. English teenager Elliot (Alex Lawther, The Imitation Game) and his mother Beatrice (Juliet Stevenson) arrive to clear their summerhouse in preparation for its sale. An aspiring writer, Elliot is attracted to local lad Clément (Phénix Brossard) and initiates a friendship marked by a painful sense of longing and desire. As Elliot struggles to define his future, an embittered Beatrice cannot let go of the past.

Their emotional journeys are at the heart of a confidently composed, beautifully photographed family drama.

Johnny Guitar

Sunday 29 May (15.50) Joan Crawford stars as Vienna, a savvy saloon owner who teams up with semi-retired gunslinger Johnny Guitar in order to face off against some angry locals. Nicholas Ray (Rebel Without a Cause) presents a refreshing alternative to the masculine posturing often found in westerns, with a creative look at politics and gender in dazzling Technicolor. Johnny Guitar is more fascinating now than ever; as an encapsulation of McCarthyist politics, a slyly subversive feminist statement and a camp classic of the western genre.

Director Nicholas Ray Cast Joan Crawford, Sterling Hayden, Mercedes McCambridge USA 1954, 1h50m, PG

The Measure of a Man La loi du marché

Friday 17 – Monday 20 June Vincent Lindon won the Best Actor Award at Cannes 2015 for his brilliant performance as unemployed security guard Thierry, who endures a series of humiliating ordeals in his search for work. Stéphane Brizé’s film dispassionately monitors the progress of its stoic protagonist until at last he lands a job on the front line in surveillance – and faces one too many moral dilemmas. A powerful and deeply troubling vision of the realities of our new economic order.

(une histoire d’amour moderne)

Tuesday 21 – Thursday 23 June Eva Husson’s ironic, sun-kissed salute to teen spirit evokes the worlds of Larry Clark and Sofia Coppola as it captures a dreamy summer of sex, seduction and consequences, and sets it to a cool soundtrack of synth pop from White Sea. George and her friend Laetitia are happy to spend the summer lazing by the pool and indulging the advances of desperately horny bad boys like Alex.

The fearless George ups the ante by turning tame games of Spin the Bottle and Truth or Dare into something wilder and more daring.

Tale of Tales Il racconto dei racconti

Friday 17 – Thursday 30 June ‘Gloriously mad, rigorously imagined, visually wonderful’ – The Guardian Once upon a time there were three neighbouring kingdoms from which ruled kings and queens. Loosely inspired by the Neapolitan fairytales of Giambattista Basile, Matteo Garrone’s (Gomorrah) English language debut is a spectacular gothic fantasy with a unique vision of cinema at its heart.

Haunted by flashbacks, the young man uses his new-found wealth to reconstruct these fragments of his memory, in increasingly elaborate ways.

The Divide

Monday 30 May (18.15) The story of seven individuals striving for a better life in modern day US and UK – where the top 0.1% owns as much wealth as the bottom 90%.

By plotting these tales together, this documentary uncovers how every aspect of our lives is controlled by one factor: the size of the gap between rich and poor. This isn’t based on real life; this is real life. Weaving together stories of ambition and perseverance with news archives from 1979 to the present, The Divide creates a lyrical, psychological and tragi-comic picture of how economic division creates social division.

Director Katharine Round will join us for a Q&A following the screening.

This is a subtle and powerful exploration of democracy at work.

Followed in the cinema by short, audience-led reflections on the challenges posed by the EU Referendum.

ANDREI TARKOVSKY: SCULPTING TIME

One of the world’s most visionary, celebrated and influential filmmakers, Andrei Tarkovsky made just seven features before his tragically early death at the age of 54. Characterised by metaphysical and spiritual explorations of the human condition, each film is an artistic masterpiece of extraordinary visual beauty and they all stand as enduring classics of world cinema. Screening from pristine new digital prints, the Russian auteur’s seven features will be showing at GFT every Sunday evening from 22 May to 3 July.

Specially commissioned programme notes will be available for this season.

Ivan’s Childhood Ivanovo detstvo

Sunday 22 May (19.30) Andrei Tarkovsky’s debut feature is a poignant and powerful story of war and revenge. In World War II, twelve-year-old Ivan loses his parents after Nazis attack his village. Seeking revenge the young boy joins the Soviet army as a scout and soon becomes indispensable due to his ability to go undetected through enemy lines. The missions get tougher and it is decided Ivan must take a step back, but after convincing the officer in charge he is allowed to carry out one final expedition.

CROSSING THE LINE

LUX Scotland Presents:

Nightcleaners Part 1

Sunday 5 June (20.00) A documentary made by members of the Berwick Street Collective, Nightcleaners follows the campaign to unionise women who cleaned office blocks at night, who were victimised and underpaid. Intending at the outset to make a ‘campaign film’, the Collective was forced to turn to more avant-garde forms in order to represent the forces at work between the cleaners, the Cleaner’s Action Group and the unions, as well as the complex nature of the campaign itself. An intensely self-reflexive film that implicates both filmmakers and audiences in the process of precarious and invisible labour, it has become recognised as a key work of the 1970s and an important precursor to current political art practice.

This screening is accompanied by a specially commissioned response to Nightcleaners by Dr Rebecca Gordon-Nesbitt, Principal Investigator in Arts for Health, Manchester School of Art. Director Berwick Street Collective, UK 1975, 1h30m, N/C 12+

Beatrice Gibson: Cadenza

Sunday 3 July (19.45) This programme explores abstraction as subject and form, looking at music, money, numbers and narrative through the frame of experimental cinema. Curated by internationally renowned and award winning artist Beatrice Gibson, the programme features Gibson’s latest films F For Fibonacci and Crippled Symmetries alongside work by Tony Conrad, Laida Lertxundi and Mary Helena Clark. With playful yet studied musings on the nature of (and interplay between) rhythm, maths and abstraction, Cadenza serves to investigate Gibson’s practice and place it in a wider context.

However, Bill is not going to go down without a fight, and what unfolds is a deadly game of cat and mouse where the tables continue to turn until everything spins dangerously out of control.

LOCAL HEROES

The Colours of the Alphabet

Wednesday 11 May (18.15) The official language in Zambia is English, but there are seven national languages and 72 ethnic languages spoken in the country. Alastair Cole’s beautifully-filmed documentary follows a year at a primary school where homesick teacher Annie speaks one language and the pupils speak another.

We follow events through a school term as the children gradually adapt and a seemingly unbridgeable gap is closed. An inspiring, bittersweet documentary about language, communication and national identity. To launch the film’s Highland and west coast preview tour, director Alastair Cole and producer Nick Higgins will be joined by Scottish poet and former Makar Liz Lochhead for a post-screening discussion on the relationship between language and childhood.

In following both Moffat’s folk tour around Scotland and his prickly encounters with Sheila, Paul Fegan’s funny and warm documentary taps into the power of Scottish music to bring communities together, and the fierce passion it provokes.

After catching a glimpse of the billions of dollars of good food that is tossed each year in North America, they pledge to quit grocery shopping and survive only on discarded food. What they find is truly shocking as this film investigates our systematic obsession with expiry dates, perfect produce and portion sizes, and reveals the core of this seemingly insignificant issue that is wreaking devastating consequences around the globe.

STUDIO GHIBLI FOREVER

Japan’s renowned animation house Studio Ghibli has been delighting audiences since 1985 with beautiful hand-drawn feature films. Following the enthusiastic response to our short season of Miyazaki films last summer, GFT is excited to bring a larger selection of the studio’s films to the big screen in 2016, to coincide with the release of When Marnie Was There (p15), Ghibli’s new and reportedly final film. Immerse yourself in superlative animation and breathtaking storytelling this summer at GFT. All films will be in their original Japanese with English subtitles unless otherwise stated.

Nausicäa of the Valley of the Wind Kaze no tani no Naushika

Tuesday 3 May (18.10) The second feature from Miyazaki, Nausicäa of the Valley of the Wind offered a welcome departure from the gritty stories and extreme violence often offered by anime at the time. In a world that is both primitive and futuristic, Princess Nausicäa must protect the giant magical creatures in a nearby jungle from the kingdom of Tolmekia, who wish to use an ancient weapon to eradicate them. A beautifully animated adventure with a strong ecological message as its core.

Director Hayao Miyazaki Cast Sumi Shimamoto, Mahito Tsujimura, Hisako Kyôda, Japan 1984, 1h57m, subtitles, PG

Laputa: Castle in the Sky Tenkû no shiro Rapyuta

Tuesday 10 May (20.15) A flying government airship is attacked by air-pirates, looking for the young princess Sheeta, who has been abducted and held aboard. Sheeta falls from the ship and meets Pazu, who is building an aeroplane to search for the flying castle Laputa, the last remnant of humanity’s time in the skies.

Together the two take to the skies, chased by pirates, the army and government secret agents, looking for Laputa and Sheeta’s lost identity. A Ghibli classic that offers a thrilling adventure for all ages.

Director Hayao Miyazaki Cast Keiko Yokozawa, Mayumi Tanaka, Kotoe Hatsui, Japan 1986, 2h4m, subtitles, PG

My Neighbour Totoro Tonari no Totoro

Tuesday 17 May (18.30) Hayao Miyazaki’s family classic My Neighbour Totoro has enchanted children and adults alike since its first screenings in 1988. When two girls, Satsuki and her younger sister Mei, move far from the bustle of the big city due to their mother’s illness, they discover a mysterious forest full of spirits including an enchanting creature called Totoro. Satsuki and Mei befriend Totoro and together they discover the magical possibilities of the world around them. A beautiful parable about the freedom of imagination, and the fears and frustrations of childhood.

The two must depend on each other to survive amidst the turmoil, famine and heartless indifference of their countrymen, with their only moments of joy coming from the light of fireflies. A powerful, harrowing film with a strong anti-war message at its core.

Soon Kiki discovers that she doesn’t need magic to make true friends.

He becomes entangled in a vicious conflict between a proud clan of humans and the forest’s animal gods, who are led by Princess Mononoke, a young girl raised by wolves. Never given a UK theatrical release, this genre-defining classic is a must-see on the big screen.

Tuesday 28 June (20.15) The most successful Japanese movie in history and widely regarded as one the greatest animations of all time, Spirited Away is Hayao Miyazaki’s Oscar-winning masterpiece. Gutsy Chihiro and her family are moving to the suburbs when a wrong turn leads them to a bathhouse for gods and spirits where the 10-year-old’s life is turned upside down. Her parents are turned into pigs and she has no choice but to work in the bathhouse for the evil witch, Yubaba, in the hope of freeing them and returning to the human world.

Director Hayao Miyazaki Cast Yuria Nara, Hiroki Doi, Tomoko Yamaguchi, Japan 2008, 1h41m, subtitles, U

The Wind Rises Kaze tachinu

Tuesday 19 July (20.10) Hayao Miyazaki’s unique and inspired final feature is a decades-spanning masterpiece. It is 1927, and Jiro dreams of designing and flying planes.

Near-sighted and therefore unable to be a pilot, Jiro joins a Japanese engineering company and goes on to become one of their most inventive and remarkable aeroplane designers. Charting key historical events throughout Jiro’s life and his relationship with his muse Naoko, The Wind Rises is a breathtaking film about love and perseverance in a changing world.

Access Film Club: Eddie the Eagle

ism Aut ly d n e fri

Tuesday 10 May (18.00) GFT, together with Scottish Autism, is delighted to provide Access Film Club: a screening and post-film discussion in a friendly and welcoming environment.

Eddie Edwards did not have the background to become an Olympian, near-sighted, prone to accident and from a poor family; he was constantly reminded that he did not have the right qualities for an international athlete. Yet through dogged perseverance he became the first competitor to represent Great Britain in Olympic ski jumping at the 1988 Calgary Winter Games. Following the sporting theme, this month’s guest speaker will be National Elite Diver, Courtney Ross. Since the age of 10, Courtney has competed for Scotland internationally and last year won a Scottish National Championship title.

Join us after the film to hear what it takes to compete in international sport and how important it is to let your ambitions guide you. All tickets £5. If you require a wheelchair space please request this on booking or call our box office on 0141 332 6535.

Director Crystal Moselle is granted astonishing access to this remarkable family, delving deep into their unique and sometimes troubling circumstances whilst always asking important questions about the nature of cinema itself. Winner of Sundance Festival 2015’s Grand Jury Prize.
