Apocalypse Now

Sunday 20 November (16.00) In Joseph Conrad’s novella ‘Heart of Darkness’, a ship captain leads an expedition up the Congo River to find ivory trader Kurtz, who has established himself like a god. In Apocalypse Now, Francis Ford Coppola transplants that story to the Vietnam War – where US Army Cpt.

As Willard travels further into the depths of the Vietnamese jungle he begins to submerge himself wholly into the insanity of war, revealing the fractured psychosis of the conflict.

Eat That Question: Frank Zappa in His Own Words

Friday 2 - Thursday 8 December To many people, Frank Zappa is the ultimate outsider musician – a foul-mouthed mustachioed freak that reveled in an iconoclastic view and music so distinctive that it has since become its own genre. Made up entirely of pre-existing interview footage and often bewildering live performances, Thorsten Schütte’s film is a sharply edited and energetic celebration of Zappa through his public persona that allows us to witness first-hand Zappa’s complex character. With ideas as vital as his music, his outspoken efforts to rail against censorship and champion artistic freedom still resonate today.

The Heroes of Telemark

Monday 12 December (12.45 & 17.45) Billy Wilder’s vicious portrait of flawed ethics in journalism (and the public appetite for them) features Kirk Douglas in one of his most iconic roles, as the fierce amoral newspaper reporter Chuck Tatum. Run out of the big city, Tatum becomes frustrated with the small-time stories he finds at his new job, until one day he happens across the scoop of a lifetime and will do anything to keep it in the headlines. Wilder’s scathing look at our relentless appetite for sensation has only become more relevant with time.

Wed 14 (18.15) & Thu 15 Dec (12.30) Based on the true story of the Norwegian resistance and their efforts to stop the German production of an atomic bomb component during World War II. Richard Harris plays resistance fighter Knut Straud, who enlists the help of reluctant physicist Rold Pederson (Kirk Douglas) in an effort to destroy the German heavy water production plant in rural Telemark.

Shot on location in Norway by director Anthony Mann, The Heroes of Telemark is daring wartime action/adventure at its most classic.

Blue Velvet

Tuesday 13 (20.20) & Wednesday 14 December (13.00) For a film that relies on familiar Hollywood conventions (the tortured femme fatale, the hideous villain and the loss of innocence), David Lynch’s masterpiece describing a sleepy small town with the seediest underbelly is one of the most unconventional and influential films of the 1980s. An outwardly simple Hardy Boys-style tale that descends into the darkest recesses of inhumanity, voyeurism and humiliation. Now celebrating its 30th anniversary, Blue Velvet has lost none of its power to both shock and seduce.

Director David Lynch Cast Isabella Rossellini, Kyle MacLachlan, Dennis Hopper, USA 1986, 2h, 18

CULT CLASSICS

Akira

Friday 11 November (23.00) Regarded by many as a landmark production for Japan, Akira’s critical acclaim and box office success paved the way for the growth of anime culture across the world. 2030 Neo-Tokyo, which has sprung from the ruins of World War III, is experiencing a prolonged period of civil unrest.

When Tetsuo, a young biker with telekinetic powers, is abducted by the military and used as an unwitting guinea pig for top-secret experiments, it falls to his best friend Kaneda to rescue him before it’s too late. A phenomenal achievement in animation that has rightly become a classic of Japanese cinema.

Blueprint always sells out, so book early to avoid disappointment!

Blueprint programmer Hans Lucas will conduct a short Q&A with some of the filmmakers after the screening. All tickets £5.50.

Elstree 1976

Tuesday 8 November (20.20) Elstree 1976 is a documentary looking at the lives of the people behind the masks and beneath the helmets in the original Star Wars movie. Over the summer of 1976, a wide array of North American and British actors, along with an inexhaustible supply of film extras, donned crazy costumes and headgear to populate George Lucas’s universe. Few of them understood what the film even was, llet alone the global cultural impact it would go on to have. Filmmaker Jon Spira has tracked a cross section of these people down and explored the bizarre community they have formed, to find out what it means to exist in the shadow of such a phenomenon.

Followed by Q&A with director Jon Spira and Angus Machines, one of the subjects of the film who appears as ‘Gold Leader’ in Star Wars: A New Hope.
