The Legend of Barney Thomson

Friday 30 October – Thursday 5 November GFT’s most popular film of the summer is back for your viewing pleasure. Director and star Robert Carlyle is joined by a brilliant cast including Ray Winstone, James Cosmo, Martin Compston, and Emma Thompson in an unforgettable performance as Barney’s bitterly callous mother. Carlyle is Barney, a middle-aged Bridgeton barber with no prospects and, crucially, no chat. When his smug boss (Stephen McCole) goes missing, the local police constable (Winstone) suspects a connection with a recent spate of ‘body parts murders’, and points the finger at the hapless Barney.

Black Souls Anime nere

Friday 30 October – Thursday 5 November The grey, lawless Calabrian Mountains are an area where honour demands respect and the slightest insult must be avenged. When Luciano leaves the family ‘business’ to dedicate himself to farming, his young son Leo cannot wait to fire a shot in anger.

Leo’s impetuous actions propel the family into a bloody feud, transforming their lives into the stuff of Greek tragedy. A tough, tense journey through the dark heart of organised crime in modern Italy.

Under Milk Wood Dan y Wenallt

Friday 30 October – Thursday 5 November Kevin Allen’s radically surreal and erotic Welsh language film of Dylan Thomas’s Under Milk Wood stars Rhys Ifans and Charlotte Church in the first cinema production of the brilliant, haunting radio play since Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton’s 1972 film. Moving away from a traditional, literal reflection of Thomas’ original work, the film explores some of the more visceral elements of the funny, filthy and magical dreamscape of the work, whilst staying faithful to Dylan Thomas’s original text.

Brooklyn

Friday 6 – Thursday 19 November Adapted by Nick Hornby from Colm Toíbín’s prize-winning novel, Brooklyn sees Saoirse Ronan (Atonement, Hanna) firmly cementing her leading actress status as a young Irish woman starting an independent life in New York in the 1950s. When family duties call her back to Ireland, she must decide where her heart truly lies. With a support cast including Jim Broadbent, Julie Walters and Domnhall Gleeson, Brooklyn is a superbly acted, sweeping and romantic drama.

Taxi Tehran

Friday 30 October – Thursday 5 November Virtuoso Iranian director Jafar Panahi (This Is Not a Film, The White Balloon) returns with his latest film from within a country that continuously attempts to suppress his voice. For this latest work, Panahi uses the device of a yellow taxi that drives through the streets of Tehran whilst the driver interviews various passengers. A simple premise, but one that reveals a startling amount – as Panahi’s camera is constantly on the move throughout the city, the driver, passenger and audience look outwards onto the streets and inwards at the nation’s troubled centre. Winner of the top award at Berlin Film Festival 2015.

Specially commissioned programme notes will be available for this film.

Friday 13 – Thursday 19 November ‘A reinvigorating reminder of what indie filmmaking can – and should – do’ David Ehrlich, Time Out On Christmas Eve, rambunctious trans sex worker Sin-Dee Rella is released from a 28-day stint in prison to discover her pimp boyfriend has been sleeping with someone else. Outraged, she begins a rampage of revenge that takes her across the sun-scorched streets of downtown Los Angeles. Throwing convention out of the window, filmmaker Sean Baker used an Apple iPhone 5 to capture this tale, giving the film a truly raw and visceral look unlike any other.

The Lady in the Van

Friday 13 – Thursday 26 November Nicholas Hytner (former National Theatre Artistic Director) brings Alan Bennett’s award-winning play to the big screen, with Maggie Smith reprising the titular role. A true story based on Alan Bennett’s own life, the film recounts how Miss Mary Shepherd, a rootless eccentric, one day parked her van in Bennett’s driveway and ended up staying there for 15 years. Reuniting much of the cast of The History Boys in supporting roles (Frances de la Tour, Dominic Cooper, Russell Tovey and James Corden all feature), The Lady in the Van is a quintessentially British delight.

Closer to the Moon

Friday 13 - Sunday 15 November In 1959 Bucharest, the Ioanid Gang pulled off an astounding and daring heist at the National Bank of Romania – by making the crowds believe that they were shooting a motion picture. What happened next was even more unbelievable as the group were given a punishment as outlandish as their crime. Mark Strong and Vera Farmiga play the members of Romanian high society who led the heist in one of the most expensive Romanian films ever made.

Armed with her sewing machine and form-fitting dresses, Tilly turns heads and brings hautecouture to the conservative town. However, battle-lines are drawn when the local busybodies drudge up her shadowy past.

Güeros

Friday 27 – Monday 30 November A homage to the French New Wave, this Mexican road movie is the debut feature from director Alonso Ruizpalacio. The year is 1999, and young troublemaker Tomas finds himself under the care of his brother Sombra and roommate Santos in Mexico City. Due to National University strikes, the two students have been whiling away their days in a state of inertia. However, Tomas’ arrival ignites a series of events which culminate in a road-trip to find the brothers’ childhood hero: legendary musician Epigmeneo Cruz. Winner of Best First Feature at Berlin, this is both a coming-of-age story, and a portrait of a country in flux.

All About Them

The Lesson Urok

À trois on y va

Monday 7 & Wednesday 9 December Jérôme Bonnell’s (The Queen of Clubs) new comedy starts on Bastille Day, and the fireworks give a hint of the emotional pyrotechnics to come.

Charlotte (Sophie Verbeeck) and Micha (Félix Moati) are young and in love. They’ve recently bought a house near Lille in which they intend to live happily ever after. So far so conventional. But all is not as it appears: they are both cheating on each other with the some woman, mutual friend Melodie (The New Girlfriend’s Anaïs Demoustier).

Friday 4 – Thursday 10 December The pressures of austerity are universal, and used to great effect in in this quietly compelling human drama about Nadezhda, a 30-something schoolteacher under pressure because of debt.

With the bank due to auction her house she must beg and borrow money at all costs, leading to moments of real suspense punctuated by a unexpected dash of dark humour. With comparisons to Loach and the Dardennes, this film festival favourite has won numerous awards and the hearts of audiences everywhere.

This year however, Hector takes the path less travelled, reconnecting with his past and those he left behind – stirring up memories, resentments, regrets and a fresh hope for the future. A gentle and sympathetic look at humanity with a standout performance from Peter Mullan.

The Forbidden Room

Only Yesterday

Friday 18 – Thursday 24 December A submarine crew, a pack of forest bandits, a famous surgeon, and a battalion of child soldiers all get more than they bargained for as they wend their way toward progressive ideas on life and love. Mixing genres, film stocks and well-worn cinematic tropes, the latest film from Guy Maddin is a hilariously hyperactive, mind-melting voyage.

The myriad subplots will leave viewers shocked one moment, baffled the next, laughing hysterically and then profoundly moved. Immerse yourself in this entirely “other” world.

Specially commissioned programme notes will be available for this film.

Sat 31 Oct (13.40) & Sun 1 Nov (17.00) Based on the manga by Yuko Tone and Kei Okamoto, and directed by Studio Ghibli co-founder Hayao Isao Takahata, this coming-ofage tale follows 27-year-old office worker Taeko, who takes a trip down memory lane when she leaves Tokyo to visit relatives in the countryside.

CLASSICS AT GFT

Laurel and Hardy Roadshow

Sunday 8 & Sunday 29 November Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy are routinely recognised as one of the finest comedy double-acts of all time.

These special double-bills give newcomers the chance to enjoy their work on the big screen, whilst offering fans of the duo the opportunity to split their sides laughing once more.

Towed in a Hole & Way Out West - Sunday 8 November (15.15) A double-bill of the duo’s most magnificent foibles, first in Towed in a Hole as fish-peddlers who realise their commercial future is bleak and then as Old Western messengers duped by a scheming vaudeville singer in Way Out West.

Directors George Marshall & James W Horne, USA 1932 & 1937, 1h25m, U

Block-Heads & The Music Box - Sunday 29 November (13.30) Block-Heads sees Laurel as a man out of time being shown the modern world of 1938 by his doddering best friend, whilst in The Music Box the duo begin a new business venture as movers, only to be foiled trying to carry a piano up a set of stairs.

SOUND & VISION

Kill Your Friends

Friday 30 October (20.00) When the road to success is littered with losers and even your closest colleagues are desperate for you to fail, what would you do to make it to the top? In 1997, the British music industry is on a winning streak – Britpop is ruling the airwaves and Cool Britannia is in full swing. 27-year-old hit-chasing A&R man Steven Stelfox (Nicholas Hoult) is slashing his way through the music business, a business where careers are built on chance and the fickle tastes of the general public. A dark, satirical and hysterical evisceration of the 90s music business based on John Niven’s best-selling novel.

John Niven will join us following the screening in conversation with Ian Rankin.

The Death and Resurrection Show

Sunday 1 November (18.45) Formed during a fire ritual that burned down their flat, Killing Joke exploded onto the British post-punk music scene in 1978. They rapidly built a mythical status from their esoteric beliefs, controversial imagery and genre-defining experimentation. Their influence spanned industrial rock, classical symphonies, psychedelic trance and 80s pop, and inspired the likes of Nirvana, Metallica, Ministry, Nine Inch Nails and Soundgarden. With a barrage of music, archive footage and deeply personal interviews, this film provides the definitive story of Killing Joke.

B-Movie: Lust & Sound in West Berlin 1979-1989

Wednesday 25 November (20.30) Before the Iron Curtain fell, everything seemed possible in walled-in West Berlin. It was a creative melting pot for subculture and pop culture alike.

Mancunian musician, label-maker and military fetishist Mark Reeder was drawn in at the end of the 70s. Now, through a lovingly compiled collection of visual and audio material – featuring the likes of legendary bands Westbam, Malaria!, Einstürzende Neubauten, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and more – he returns to that frenzied but creative decade in a city where the days were short and the nights were endless.

Presented in association with Monorail Film Club.

DOCUMENTARIES

The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution

Sunday 1 – Wednesday 4 November In the late 1960s, change was coming to America, whether the nation was ready for it or not. Focusing on the short and tumultuous existence of the titular organisation, documentarian Stanley Nelson bracingly brings the era to life, painting a portrait of a country united in name only – as cities burned, Vietnam exploded and fault lines became impossible to ignore. Often only referred to as a sidenote in the wider context of US history, the story of the Black Panthers is a formative chapter in the shaping of modern American culture, and here receives the full telling it deserves.

Director Stanley Nelson, USA 2015, 1h56m, 15

Fresh Dressed

Friday 6 – Sunday 8 November ‘The entire time I grew up, I only wanted money so I could be fresh’ – Kanye West.

Hip-hop has always had an aspirational relationship to fashion, with funky, fat-laced Adidas, Kangol hats, and Cazal shades variously embodying and evoking time, place and attitude.

Fresh Dressed is a fun and fascinating look at American hip-hop culture through the fashion that defined it, featuring in-depth interviews with luminaries such as Nas Jones, Pharrell Williams, Damon Dash and Kanye West, amongst many others.

Do I Sound Gay?

Monday 9 – Wednesday 11 November Is there such a thing as a ‘gay voice’? Why do some people ‘sound gay’ but not others? After a break-up from his boyfriend, journalist David Thorpe decides to investigate this largely unexplored issue, embarking on a hilarious and touching journey of self-discovery. With revealing interviews from Margaret Cho, David Sedaris, George Takei and many others, Do I Sound Gay? unpacks decades-old cultural stigmatisms surrounding sexuality, gender-identity and sense of self.

Having been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014, Malala now campaigns around the world against injustice and for education and this film is a fitting tribute to her inspirational bravery.

Director Davis Guggenheim, United Arab Emirates/USA 2015, 1h27m, PG

Death of a Gentleman

Thursday 5 November (18.00) A full game of Test Cricket takes five days to play and is the purest form of the sport. However, it is in danger of being ousted in favour of its shorter, more financially viable cousin ‘Twenty20’. In this film, two fans join forces to try to save the sport they love; finding out how money has corrupted the sport of gentlemen along the way. This is a modern morality tale about a future where sport and money collide, and a final call that says if you care about something that is in danger, you need to do something about it.

Introduced by Neil Clitheroe - a ‘slow’ fast bowler and even poorer batter. He discovered Death of a Gentleman on Test Match Special this summer and wanted to bring the film to cricket fans in Glasgow.

The Fear of 13

Monday 16 – Thursday 19 November In the latest film from award-winning director David Sington (In the Shadow of the Moon), a Death Row inmate petitions the court asking to be executed. As he goes on to tell his story, it gradually becomes clear that nothing is quite what it seems. The Fear of 13 is a stylistically daring experiment in storytelling that is part confessional and part performance, in which Nick, the sole protagonist, tells a tale with all the twists and turns of classic crime drama.

Steve McQueen: The Man & Le Mans

Friday 20 – Thursday 26 November In the early 1970s, Hollywood superstar Steve McQueen made a film he envisaged being the ‘ultimate racing picture’, a drama set around the 24-hour endurance auto race in Le Mans. It was a huge flop and failed to satisfy McQueen’s vision, but this new documentary about the making of the film uncovers a host of recently-discovered footage, alongside voiceover that McQueen recorded shortly before his death. The result is a revealing portrait of a troubled and troublesome movie star, given to driving fast and thinking later.

Directors Gabriel Clarke, John McKenna, USA/UK 2015, 1h42m, 15

Star*Men

Tuesday 24 & Wednesday 25 November When Alison Rose was a young girl she became enchanted with astronomy. At the same time, astronomers Roger, Donald, Nick and Wal were becoming leaders in their field, pushing forward our understanding of the universe during the most productive period astronomy has ever had.

Celebrating 50 years of work and friendship, the four older men took part in a reunion road trip through the American Southwest, with Alison along for the ride.

Warriors

Sunday 29 November – Tuesday 1 December In Kenya, a group of young Maasai have remarkably formed a cricket team and this film follows the team as they pursue their dreams, travelling from their home and testing themselves at the home of cricket in England. However, there is also a darker heart to the story, as traditional practices in their home have led to the spreading of HIV/Aids, and now the future of the Maasai is under serious threat. The Warriors cricket team have their eyes opened and use their newfound popularity to be an inspiration to young people in their community.

Friday 4 – Sunday 6 December Sixteen mustangs, four men, one journey: border to border up the spine of the American West from Mexico to Canada. Winner of the Audience Award at Hot Docs Film Festival, Philip Baribeau’s film is both an adventure and a wake up call for a better land with better wild horse management. The wildness of spirit between the four fresh-out-of-college friends at the centre of the film is met by the wildness of their mounts and of the great, beautiful wilderness they must navigate.

Peggy Guggenheim: Art Addict

Ice and the Sky La glace et le ciel

Sunday 13 – Tuesday 15 December Peggy Guggenheim’s life and loves are examined in this fascinating documentary from director Lisa Immordino Vreeland. One of the most prominent art collectors of the 20th century, Guggenheim helped kick-start the careers of artists such as Wassily Kandinsky, Jean Cocteau, Salvador Dali, Louise Nevelson, Robert Motherwell and, most famously, Jackson Pollock. Combining audio interviews with Guggenheim herself, alongside contemporary interviews with luminaries of the art world, the film also features many of Guggenheim’s collected artworks. A brilliant tribute to an icon.

Monday 21 – Thursday 24 December This new documentary from Luc Jacquet (March of the Penguins) focuses on pioneering French glaciologist Claude Lorius, who was the first scientist to highlight human responsibility for global warming. Lorius’ study of Antarctic ice began in 1965, and his discovery of air bubbles trapped in icefields enabled him to go back 400,000 years in our climate’s history. Now 82 years old, Lorius returns to the site of his original expedition and, along with director Jacquet, retraces his steps – sharing his experiences along the way. This is a stunning portrait of a remarkable man.

HALLOWEEN HORROR

Eyes Without a Face

Saturday 31 October (15.50) The most revered film in Georges Franju’s filmography has influenced, among others, Pedro Almodovar’s The Skin I Live in. A brilliant surgeon kills women in order to remove the skin from their faces and graft it onto his daughter, who was badly disfigured in an accident. A major influence on the horror genre since its release, Eyes Without a Face is tale of obsession and guilt – both grisly and poetic in its execution. Screening on 35mm.

Director Georges Franju Cast Pierre Brasseur, Alida Valli, Edith Scob, Francois Guerin, USA 1959, 1h30m, subtitles, 18

Audition Ôdishon

Saturday 31 October (18.00) Takashi Miike’s notorious masterpiece, which garnered both acclaim and outrage upon its release in 2001, Audition remains one of the most infamous and shocking films of the past 20 years.

It is also one of the finest Asian horror films ever made. When lonely widower Aoyama (Ryo Ishibashi) holds auditions to find a new wife under the pretence of a reality TV show – his potential bride is not all that she seems. This is a feminist rebuttal of Japanese gender conventions which is as beautiful as it is savage.

Director Takashi Miike Cast Ryo Ishibashi, Eihi Shiina, Tetsu Sawaki, Japan 2001, 1h55m, 18

An American Werewolf in London

Director John Landis Cast David Naughton, Griffin Dunne, Jenny Agutter, USA 1981, 1h37m, 15

SINATRA: THE MAN AND HIS MOVIES

Whilst old blue eyes is perhaps best known for his crooning, he also enjoyed a illustrious film career, starring in over 50 feature films spanning several decades. He was born on 12 December 1915, and to celebrate the centenary of his birth, GFT is delighted to screen a selection of his finest cinema works.

On the Town

Sunday 6 December (12.30) ‘New York, New York, a wonderful town!’. Between December 1944 and February 1946, On the Town ran on Broadway for a total of 462 performances. However, it is MGM’s 1949 film version, directed by Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen, that remains the best-known version. Three sailors (Kelly, Frank Sinatra and Jules Munchin) are given one day of shore leave in New York, and look to fill those 24 hours with as much fun and romance as they can before their return to sea. Screening on 35mm.

Directors Gene Kelly & Stanley Donen Cast Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra, Betty Garrett, USA 1949, 1h38m, U

The Manchurian Candidate

Sunday 13 December (19.00) Marking a darker turn in Sinatra’s career, John Frankenheimer’s classic adaptation of Richard Corden’s paranoid cold war suspense tale is ranked amongst the greatest political thrillers of all time. When a US army veteran returns from Korea, it slowly becomes apparent that his mind has been altered for nefarious reasons and it is up to another old army buddy to save him. A true classic with a uniformly excellent cast, this tale of the darkest political machinations remains startlingly prescient today.

Director John Frankenheimer Cast Frank Sinatra, Laurence Harvey, Janet Leigh, USA 1962, 2h1m, 12A contains moderate violence

Young at Heart

Sunday 20 December (13.30) Starring Sinatra and Doris Day, Gordon Douglas’ 1954 musical was the first to feature the classic romantic loner often associated with Sinatra and his music. When a charming composer (Alex Burke) and cynical music arranger (Sinatra) come to the home of the Tuttle family, their arrival complicates the lives of the three Tuttle sisters. Songs from the soundtrack were released as an album by Sinatra and Day, which was a huge success and is considered Sinatra’s comeback.

Director Gordon Douglas Cast Frank Sinatra, Doris Day, Ethel Barrymore, USA 1954, 1h52m, U

High Society

Sunday 27 December (13.00) Based on The Philadelphia Story, this toe-tapping Technicolor musical features Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby and Grace Kelly in her last acting role.

Dexter-Haven (Crosby) comes calling, with the aim of winning her back. When Tracy and Mike fall for one another the stage is set for a non-stop jazz-scored romantic delight, with snappy dialogue and sublime music. Screening on 35mm.

HAVANA FILM FESTIVAL

Havana and Glasgow were officially twinned in 2002, and whilst wildly different in many ways the cities nonetheless share a love of cinema.

For further details please check the website www.hgfilmfest.com Facebook: Glasgow/Havana Film Festival Twitter: @hgfilmfest This event has been made possible by the support of ICAIC the Cuban Film Institute, Glasgow City Council and a volunteer team of organisers.

Ana’s Film

La película de Ana Tuesday 3 November (18.00) This is the story of Ana, an unlucky Cuban actress whose career is spiraling downwards. When she meets some foreign filmmakers who are creating a documentary about the Cuban sex-worker industry, she decides to impersonate a prostitute and become the ‘star’. Complications arise however when she learns that the film will be shot from her point of view. This character study of a woman whose life is slowly being drawn out of her hands, also works as a satire of a film industry obsessed with the female body.

The Wall of Words La Pared de las Palabras

Saturday 7 November (15.00) When her son succumbs to a disease that leaves him mentally and physically disabled, his distraught mother must learn how to care for him whilst holding together the rest of her crumbling family life.

Followed by a Q&A with director Fernando Perez.

BFI: LOVE SEASON

The power of love is cinema’s most seductive illusion, making our hearts beat faster and shaping our dreams and longings. BFI LOVE, in partnership with Plusnet, is a major new project that will re-kindle audiences’ passions for film and television’s most enduring love stories. Kicking off on Sunday 1 November with Wings of Desire at Paisley Abbey, the season at GFT will celebrate the multifarious nature of love, with 8 classics we think capture its complexity and intensity. From the traditional boy-meetsgirl and happily-ever-after kind of love, to less conventional tales of erotic obsession, unrequited love, love lost and found, and forbidden desire: these are some of the greatest love stories ever told.

Wings of Desire Der Himmel über Berlin

Monday 2 November (20.00) Wim Wenders’ 1987 classic Wings of Desire is a hauntingly beautiful exploration of humanity and the desires that connect us to people, places and times. Set in the 1980s before the fall of the Berlin Wall, the film follows Bruno Ganz’s weary angel Damiel, who moves invisibly through the city, listening to its inhabitants’ innermost thoughts and desires. However, when he falls in love with lonely trapeze artist Marion (Solveig Domartin), he begins to contemplate a gesture of love that will transform his whole existence.

This screening will be preceded by a unique sound-piece recorded in Paisley Abbey, by musicians Tut Vu-Vu and artist Kathryn Elkin, also featuring the Paisley Abbey Choir, Hausfrau, Ben Ashton and pierres de lumière.

It Happened One Night

Tue 3 (20.30) & Wed 4 November (17.45) Rich socialite Ellie Andrews (Claudette Colbert) flees from the wedding planned by her father and boards a bus to New York. She encounters roguish newspaper reporter Peter Warne (Clark Gable), who quickly realises he has a top story on his hands. The first film to win all five major Oscars (Best Picture, Actor, Actress, Director and Screenplay), Frank Capra’s endlessly energetic and hilarious film remains the high benchmark to which all romantic comedies should be compared.

Go Fish

Thursday 12 November (20.00) Max is a too-cool-for-school young lesbian woman stressing over the fact she hasn’t had sex for ten months. After first dismissing hippy, excessive drinker of tea Ely, Max goes on a date with her, leading to a long-term mutual infatuation and a ‘will they, won’t they’ romantic trajectory. A collaboration between Guinevere Turner (The Watermelon Woman) and Rose Troche, Go Fish remains as vital today as it did upon release 20 years ago.

Screening as part of SQIFF’s Queer Women in Love season, with an introduction on classic lesbian cinema by SQIFF committee member Helen Wright. Introduction BSL interpreted and film screening with English subtitles.

Gregory’s Girl

Mon 9 (13.30 & 20.45) & Tue 10 Nov (13.30 & 17.45) BAFTA-winning Gregory’s Girl is probably the most beloved Scottish film ever made. Writerdirector Bill Forsyth beautifully portrays the awkwardness and cock-eyed optimism of adolescence in a film that captures school life like no other. John Gordon Sinclair is the gangly teenager besotted with the new star player in the school football team but fate has other plans in store for his romantic longings.

Director Bill Forsyth Cast John Gordon Sinclair, Dee Hepburn, Clare Grogan, UK 1980, 1h27m, 12A contains moderate nudity, moderate bad language and sex references

Vertigo

Sun 22 (16.50) & Wed 25 (17.40) November A former detective with a fear of heights is hired to follow a woman apparently possessed by the past, in Alfred Hitchcock’s timeless thriller about obsession. The story of acrophobic Scottie Ferguson (brilliantly played by James Stewart), who compulsively remodels Judy Barton (Kim Novak) in the image of his dead love Madeleine Elster (also Novak), is unflinchingly dark and tragic. A thriller of dreamlike allure, it’s whipped to dizzying heights by Bernard Herrmann’s Wagner-influenced score. Voted the greatest film of all time by Sight & Sound in 2014.

Director Alfred Hitchcock Cast James Stewart, Kim Novak, Barbara Bel Geddes, USA 1958, 2h8m, PG

Doctor Zhivago New Digital Print

Sunday 6 (16.00) & Wednesday 9 December (19.00) Winner of five Academy Awards, and one of the highest-grossing films of all time, David Lean’s 1965 epic romantic drama is an astounding adaptation of Boris Pasternak’s Nobel Prize-winning novel. The film covers the October Revolution, seen through the eyes of poet/physician Yuri Zhivago (Omar Sharif), who despite being married carries on an affair with Lara (Julie Christie), who is herself married to revolutionary Pasha (Tom Courtenay). Also starring Alec Guinness, Doctor Zhivago is one of the grandest pieces of cinema ever made and demands to be seen on the big screen.

My Beautiful Laundrette

When Harry Met Sally

Sun 29 (19.15) & Mon 30 November (18.10) Stephen Frears’ (High Fidelity, The Queen) remarkable 1985 feature is a noteworthy look at race and sex relations in Thatcher-era London.

Gordon Warnecke stars as Omar Ali, a young Pakistani who is reunited with old friend Johnny (Daniel Day-Lewis) through working together at a small laundrette. The story, which charts how the two become lovers and take over running the laundrette, equally balances social realism with buoyant fantasy and romance.

Victoria

Tuesday 24 November (20.00) One shot, two hours, total triumph - Nigel M Smith, The Guardian Filmed continuously over the course of one evening in 22 locations, writer/director Sebastian Schipper’s latest is a remarkable achievement of form and substance. Beginning in a Berlin nightclub, the camera fixes on a young woman named Victoria, following her as she leaves the club and encounters a group of young men who entice her to continue the party. From there, the plot spirals into unexpected directions as a dangerous criminal becomes involved and the apparently random events slowly coalesce into a powerful tour-de-force battle of wills.

B-Movie: Lust & Sound in West Berlin 1979-1989

Wednesday 25 November (20.30) Before the Iron Curtain fell, everything seemed possible in walled-in West Berlin. It was a creative melting pot for subculture and pop culture alike, Mancunian musician, label-maker and military fetishist Mark Reeder was drawn in at the end of the 70s. Now, through a lovingly compiled collection of visual and audio material –featuring the likes of legendary bands Westbam, Malaria!, Einstürzende Neubauten, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and more – he returns to that frenzied but creative decade in a city where the days were short and the nights were endless.

Finsterworld

Saturday 28 November (14.45) The five interwoven strands of Frauke Finsterwalder’s debut feature are presented in the guise of a light-hearted character comedy. However, below the surface these tales explore the uncharted territory between innocence and perversion, kindness and barbarity. Depicting a school trip to a former concentration camp, the relationship between a policeman and a documentary filmmaker, the strange rituals of a retirement home pedicurist, the tale of a forest hermit raising a baby raven, and a rather snobby couple on a road-trip, the film opens up a series of little voids that lead to shocking revelations.

Fox and his Friends Faustrecht der Freiheit

Tuesday 1 December (20.15) In one of German auteur Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s most highly-regarded and accessible films, he takes the lead role as Franz, an unemployed showman and prostitute whose fortunes change after he wins the lottery.

Swapping his working-class roots for a new milieu, he falls in with a new elegant circle of gay friends – including the manipulative Eugen, the scion of a once-prominent family fallen on financial hard times. As the two become closer, Eugen’s exploitation is only matched by Franz’s desperation in Fassbinder’s melodramatic fable of emotional extremes. Screening on 35mm.

Neither noble nor wealthy, Schiller is deemed no match for Charlotte, whilst Caroline is already trapped in an unhappy marriage.

However, in wake of the social upheavals rocking Europe, the three young lovers form a pact that threatens to change their lives forever. A vivid and unconventional period drama that deftly avoids soap-opera trappings with intelligence and powerful performances.

GFT Accessible Programme

GFT offers both Audio Description and captioning on selected titles and selected screenings. Audio Description is a service for partially sighted or blind people (AD headphones are available to collect from Box Office when you pick up your tickets prior to the film screening). Captioning is a service for deaf and hard of hearing audience members who rely on subtitling to enable them to follow the film’s dialogue.

Access Information GFT accepts the CEA Card. (www.ceacard.co.uk)

We can offer an infrared sound facility for the hearing-impaired (please ask at Box Office for a head set). There is disabled badge holders’ parking to the rear of the building in Cambridge Street. If you are a wheelchair user, please inform Box Office when booking.

Guide dogs are welcome at GFT. Please contact our Manager (0141) 352 8603 or email dutymanager@glasgowfilm.org with your specific access enquiries.
