Philomena

Friday 1 – Thursday 21 November Inspired by an incredible true story, Philomena charts the journey of Philomena Lee (Judi Dench) as she is helped by cynical political journalist Martin Sixsmith (Steve Coogan) to search for the son who was removed from her care some fifty years earlier. After falling pregnant as a teenager in Ireland in 1952, Philomena was sent to a convent as a ‘fallen woman’, and lost her baby to adoption.

Winner of Best Screenplay at Venice, this heartfelt narrative of love and loss is ultimately a celebration of life in all its unpredictability.

Fill the Void

Lemale et ha’halal

Friday 13 – Sunday 15 December This award-winning Israeli drama tells the story of eighteen-year-old Shira, the youngest daughter of an Orthodox Hassidic family from Tel Aviv. When her older sister dies in childbirth, Shira is faced with a difficult decision that has the potential to change her life. Long takes and lingering close-ups create a claustrophobic atmosphere, heightening the lack of choice presented to women in this closely-knit, patriarchal community. With themes of loss and family loyalty, this is a fascinating study of a hermetically sealed society.

¡Vivan las Antipodas!

Friday 16 – Thursday 19 December Antipodes are places diametrically opposite one another on the earth’s surface. Because oceans cover most of the planet, antipodes with dry land on both sides are fairly rare. In this audacious, contemplative, stunningly beautiful work, master documentarist Victor Kossakovsky takes us to four antipodal pairs, and, in doing so, changes the way we see our world. Through Kossakovsky’s extraordinary camerawork, and with a dazzling soundtrack, the audience is taken on an astonishing and ultimately moving meditation of our planet.

Now the two must endure a seven-hour flight together, as their verbal sparring gives way to genuine feelings (and awkward silences). Told in both real-time and flashbacks, this breezy, light-hearted film is a joyous Gallic throwback to the classic Hollywood romantic comedy.

THE DARK HEART OF FILM

Häxan: Witchcraft Through the Ages

Sunday 3 November (20.15) Since its premiere in 1922, Benjamin Christensen’s exploration of the role of superstition in medieval minds has caused outrage and protest from both the general public and religious groups.

Dramatising satanic activities and rituals, including the ways in which suspected witches were tortured and killed, Häxan is a deliriously imaginative masterpiece. Not until 1941 did the director earn belated fame and respect – proof that this genre-defying documentary was far ahead of its time.

This screening will be accompanied by a specially-commissioned live score, written and performed by composer and musician Verity Susman of Electrelane. £13 full price / £10 concession / £8 CineCard Director Benjamin Christensen / Cast Maren Pedersen, Clara Pontoppidan, Elith Pio Sweden 1922, 1h54m, 15

Moving to Rome to pursue his dreams, he finds surprisingly affordable accommodation, which comes with a unique addition – the ghosts of a former music hall troupe! These friendly spirits help Pietro to fulfil his dreams in a funny and often surprising film that touches on themes of community, passion and belonging.

Also available on the GFT Player from Sunday 10 November. See p32 for more information.

Frankenstein

Sunday 15 December (18.00) Inducing fainting spells amongst its audience upon release, James Whale’s Frankenstein is the definitive film version of Mary Shelley’s classic tale of tragedy and terror. When aspiring scientist Henry Frankenstein stitches together numerous stolen body parts to create a living, breathing creature, his attempt at playing God disastrously backfires when the creature attacks his assistant.

With an electrifying performance from Boris Karloff as the tormented and bewildered creature, this masterpiece of vintage horror is as frighteningly brilliant as it was in 1931.

Introduced by Andy Dougan, lecturer in the Screen Department of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, whose book Raising the Dead uncovers the Glasgow-based facts behind Shelley’s fiction.

Outwardly the children are little darlings, but the governess begins to feel that there’s something unwholesome behind those beatific smiles… The film bristles with menace as it draws you inexorably towards its chilling conclusion.

Thank You to our audiences

Many thanks to the thousands of GFT patrons who continue to stay with us while we carry out the major refurbishment of our entrance canopy, foyer and the creation of Cinema 3.

The new screen will open in early December and we’re delighted to invite you to an Open Day so you can hear more about it on Sunday 8 December (see details below). The increase in screens will enable more flexibility in programming and space for our award-winning youth group to develop their activities year-round. The original upstairs bar is now back in action thanks to an upgrade in sound-proofing and there’s a new refreshment kiosk on the ground floor.

The next phase of this development, which we’re currently fundraising for, will include returning the main stairway to its former glory, lift access to public and staff areas, and an upgrade of our Learning Room.

The project was designed by NORD Architecture and our Project Manager was Harry Wood of tx-2 Project Management + Design. The development was carried out with support from Glasgow City Council, Creative Scotland, The Robertson Trust and the Garfield Weston Foundation. The project is also supported by members of the public, with individual donors subscribing to the seat sponsorship scheme (all of our Seat Sponsors are warmly acknowledged on p42).

Jaki McDougall Chief Executive, Glasgow Film (GFT and Glasgow Film Festival)
