Dir. Jordan Vogt-Roberts (US 2013, 95mins, 15) An instant classic. A note-perfect funny script that perfectly captures the feel of restless youth idling away a summer as the three teenagers attempt to free themselves of their parents, build a house in the wilderness, and live off the land.

Terrific.

Dir. Jannicke Systad Jacobsen (Norway, 2012, 95mins, 15) Told from a girl’s viewpoint, this is a brilliant, quirky and sweet sex comedy about a 15 year-old girl living in a boring town who is consumed by her out-of-control hormones and fantasies. It is explicit but is so much better and more honest than American coming-ofage movies.

Dir. Peter Yates (US 1979, 97mins 12) The essential cycling film. This lovely coming-of-age story won an Oscar for its screenplay about four working-class teenagers (including a young Dennis Quaid) who battle the posh college kids of smalltown America in a cycling race. A feel good film of unsentimental optimism.

The Best Short Films of the Year

Saturday 24 May 7.30pm | Southgate Theatre, Honley | £4.50

A selection of the best from the Aesthetica Independent Short Film competition which is a celebration of independent short film-making from around the world.

Dir. David O Russell (US 2013, 129mins 15) Fundamentally about characters, this is a slick, smart and energetic shaggy dog caper set in the 1970s – killer soundtrack and great costumes – with an ingenious conman (Christian Bale), his long suffering wife (a brilliant Jennifer Lawrence) and his seductive British partner (Amy Adams) forced by the FBI to work in the world of the Mafia (Robert de Niro). Let’s boogie down.

The Past Saturday 24 May 7.30pm | Hepworth Village Hall | £4.50

Wadjda

Dir. Asghar Farhardi (France 2013, 130mins 15) After the brilliance of A Separation, Fardardi returns with the story of an Iranian in Paris who leaves his French wife and children for a new relationship in a beautifully written, assuredly directed and powerfully acted film that demonstrates his place among the great directors of today.

Best British Independent Films of the Year Saturday 24 May 7pm | Massala Lounge, Holmfirth | £6

double bill!

Dir. Sean Ellis (UK 2013, 115mins 15) Metro Manila is an immaculately composed slow-burning crime thriller about an innocent corrupted by the crime riddled city of Manila. Ellis has directed an engrossing and emotionally tragic film, and looks like a genuine star of the future.

Dirs. Christine Molloy, Joe Lowler (Ireland 2013, 95mins 15) Fine TV actor Aiden Gillan (Queer as Folk, Game of Thrones) gives a great performance in this implosive thriller as a man who flies to Singapore to tidy up the affairs of his dead nightclub owning brother. The strange pervading sense of mystery of a man lost in a foreign country is oddly compelling.

Dir. Haifaa al-Mansour (Saudi Arabia 2012, 98mins 12) Many people’s favourite film of the year is a deceptively simple tale of a 10 year-old girl living in the capital city Riyadh, who is determined to raise enough money to buy a bike – despite the fact that women are banned from riding bikes. This first feature film to be entirely shot in Saudi Arabia by a female director is a striking achievement and uplifting experience.

Dir. Enzo G. Castellari (Italy 1976, 96mins 18) Franco Nero stars as the half-breed who returns home from the Civil War on one man mission to save the town. Told almost as a Greek tragedy with flashbacks, this gritty and violent Spaghetti Western is one of the very best of the genre.

The Great Northfield Minnesota Raid

Dir. Philip Kaufman (US 1972, 91mins, 12) One of the most interesting of the 70s’ New Hollywood directors, Kaufman’s Civil War is still very much alive in this myth busting and off-beat tale of the Younger brothers (led by Cliff Robertson) and James brothers (led by a psychotic Robert Duvall), and their final bank raid.

Highly recommended.

Dir.

Shot in black and white, with conscious echoes of Woody Allen’s landmark film Manhattan.

Hugely enjoyable.

Stories We Tell Saturday 24 May 7.30pm | Brambles, Holmfirth | £4.50 Dir. Sarah Polley (Canada 2013, 106mins 12A) In one of the documentaries of the year, Sarah Polley investigates her own family’s memories and storytelling, including the truths and myths surrounding her mother, who died when she was only eleven. In the process she twists and turns the genre in a deeply affecting but entertaining film.

Dir. Morgan Neville (US 2013, 91mins 12) The untold and poignant story of the brilliant and largely anonymous backup singers behind some of music’s greatest hits over the past 50 years. Oscar winner for best documentary feature, this is an upbeat and rousing crowd pleaser.

Enough Said Dir. Lars Von Trier (Denmark 2013, 242mins 18) The world’s most controversial director has produced another film that will divide audiences but this darkly funny bold and extremely explicit film about a self-diagnosed nymphomaniac who recounts her erotic experiences to the man who saved her, is another must see.

These Birds Walk

Dir. Bilie August (Denmark 2012, 102mins 15) Borgen’s Birgitte Sorensen is excellent as the wife of Denmark’s most famous artist, P. S. Kroyer, whose fame masked his own depressive illness and the reality of a family in crisis. Subtle and compassionate, this is a beautiful costume drama set at the beginning of the 20th century - a fitting film for this lovely venue.

Dir. Tobias Lindholm (Denmark 2012, 110mins 15) A slow burning thriller from the writer of Borgen about the fate of a Danish freighter hijacked by Somali pilots. You may recognise the premise - and actors. Some thought this the better film than Captain Phillips as it turns the screw in an intelligent movie that eschews Hollywood clichés and develops a real sense of dread.

Bill Morrison (UK 2011, 50mins) A wonderful art celebration of the ill-fated mining communities of the North by multi-media artist Bill Morrison who uses archive footage and an evocative music soundtrack by Icelandic composer John Johannsson to celebrate the lives, spirit and solidarity of those who worked underground.

Dirs. Jennifer Siebel Newsom, Kimberlee Acquaro (US 2012, 89mins 12) The under-representation of women in areas of power and influence in the UK is criminal. This simple, entertaining documentary which challenges the lack of positive female role models in mainstream media – ‘You can’t be what you can’t see‘ - had a powerful effect in America and led to the setting up of educative campaign groups. Although American in focus, it has lessons for here and is a spur to conversation. double friend s bill!

The Minister

Dir. Pierre Schoeller (France 2012, 115mins 15) A winner at Cannes, its bizarre opening sequence which stays long in the mind leads to an intimate and realistic drama framed by the two tragedies faced by a new Transport Minister in a complex and hostile environment. Strangely compelling.

Suzanne

Dir. Katell Quillevere (France 2013, 94mins 15) What looks like a gentle soap – the fantastic Sara Forestier as the truck-driver’s daughter initially appears weak and uninteresting – turns into a Film Noir with a devastating finale. An intelligent gem.

Dir. Andy Heathcote, Heike Bachelier (UK 2013, 98mins U) The surprise hit at the Sundance festival this documentary about the Sussex farmer who, fighting against the control of the supermarkets, decides to sell raw milk to save his farm is an absolute delight. Steve Hook has a remarkable relationship with his 55 cows – be prepared to shed tears.

Dir. Pier Paolo Passolini (Italy 1964, 134mins, 12) It took a gay, atheist Marxist to produce the one true classic film about Jesus Christ. Shot in black and white (beautifully remastered) in a straight-on documentary style in the country-side of southern Italy among its poorest communities, this is a powerful, passionate – and even for non-believers - devotional experience.

Dir. Margarethe von Trotta (Germany 2012, 113mins 12) A very fine, thoughtful, intelligent and absorbing, almost documentarystyle, drama about the German-American political theorist who covers the trial of Holocaust architect Adolf Eichmann in Israel in 1961, out of which she developed the highly controversial idea of the banality of evil.

Dir. Mikael Marcimain (Sweden 2013, 134mins 18) Nordic Noir - one of the most underrated and interesting films of last year. Shot in the style of Tinker Tailor (they share the same cinematographer), this explosive conspiracy thriller, based on real events in 1970s’ Sweden about underage prostitutes used by corrupt politicians, is a complex, understated and gripping view.

But is he? Marvellous and haunting with wonderful period detail.

Two young people in love are seemingly willing to sacrifice their developing relationship over the problem of conceiving a child.

Jadoo: Kings of Curry

Dir. Felix Van Goeningen (Belgium 2013, 112mins 12A) Intensely moving portrait of the oddball relationship between a tattoo shop owner and a Bluesgrass banjo player.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas + Talk Wednesday 28 May 7.30pm | Gonzo Bar, Holmfirth | £4.50 Dir. Terry Gilliam (US 1998, 115mins 18) Johnny Depp stars as Hunter S. Thompson’s alter ego Raul Duke in this cult gonzo take on the reporter’s trip to Las Vegas, which turns into a chaotic descent into the psychedelic nightmare of the American dream.

It is sometimes forgotten that Thompson was a very fine journalist.

His legacy is considered, as is that of New Journalism and Gonzo, with clips from other Thompson related films and documentaries.

Plus a chance to drink cheap tequila.

Supported by the Gonzo Bar and Journalism and Media at the University of Huddersfield.

Dir. Mario Tullio Giodana (Italy 2012, 129mins 12) Impressively staged fact-based conspiracy drama about the bombings in Milan in 1969 - initially blamed on the left but carried out by the extreme right as part of the Strategy of Tension – and the ensuing cover-up and death in custody of one of the accused and subsequently the investigating Commissioner.

Dir. Julian Polser (Austria 2013, 105mins 12) Austria’s submission to the Oscars is a bewitching, unsettling and mind-bending sci-fi parable based on a classic novel about a young woman in the Alps who is trapped by a mysterious invisible wall, forcing her into isolation and survival, that has echoes of a feminist Robinson Crusoe.

The Adventures of Prince Achmed Thursday 29 May 7pm | Picturedrome, Holmfirth Adults: £4.50 Children FREE Dir. Lotte Reiniger, Karl Koch (Germany 1926, 67 mins PG) Earliest surviving feature length animated film. Painstakingly crafted by Reiniger, the cut out animated silhouettes bring to life the adventures of the young Achmed as he journeys through the exotic worlds of the Arabian Nights, encountering witches, demons and princesses. Newly restored, this is a unique and brilliant piece of cinema history which still captivates.

Dir. Sebatian Lelio (Chile 2013, 110mins 15) Chile’s entry to the Oscars is a funny and mysterious account of a woman of certain age who seeks love at social dances (70s music) for single people. Paulina Garcia gives an award-winning tour-de-force performance which is brilliant and ultimately uplifting.

Dir. Manuel von Sturler (Switzerland 2012, 90mins U) A beautiful documentary about the annual Transhumance – a 600km winter trek for 800 sheep, three donkeys, four dogs and the two shepherds, Pascal and Carole. Increasingly difficult as modern life encroaches on their trail, this is a wonderful pastoral hymn to freedom.

Destin Daniel Cretton (US 2013, 96mins 15) An Indy award winner, this is a cinematic rollercoaster of bittersweet emotions from comedy to tears as a young woman struggles with life changes whilst working with at-risk teenagers. Deep subjects but done with lightness of touch that makes it unmissable.

Dir. James Cameron (US 1984, 107mins 15) A blazing cinematic sci-fi comic book B-movie classic in which a human looking cyborg is sent to assassinate a waitress…

Dark, violent (and feminist?) and fun. Now a staple of popular culture, this is still Cameron’s best film. The template for the dystopian blockbusters that followed, it is introduced by Roger Christofides, Research Fellow at the University of Huddersfield.

Stuart Hall Project + Discussion Thursday 29 May 7.30 | Brambles, Holmfirth | £4.50 Dir. John Akomfrah (UK 2013, 103mins 12A) Hall, who died recently, was for many years Britain’s most influential cultural theorist, concerned with those groups of people excluded from centres of power through race, gender and class. This montage of existing footage with Hall’s own words and thoughts is a really interesting look at Britain over the past 60 years.

Followed by a discussion led by Dr Max Farrar, Leeds Metropolitan University, whose work and interests overlap with those of Hall.

The Selfish Giant

In partnership with the LBT and introduced by Shaun Thomas who plays Swifty Thursday 29 May 7.30pm Lawrence Batley Theatre, Huddersfield | £6 (LBT) Dir. Clio Barnard (UK 2013, 91mins 15) Rightly acclaimed as perhaps the best British film of the year, this beautifully directed lyrical portrait of two rebellious boys in Bradford who sell scrap in Huddersfield has a lovely but stark script about friendship, poverty and desperation.

Tim’s Vermeer Thursday 29 May 2pm | Brambles, Holmfirth | £4.50 Dir. Shane F. Kelly (US 2013, 80mins U) A Texan inventor attempts to solve one of art’s great mysteries – how did Dutch Master Vermeer paint such detail? Explores the idea that he used optical technology. It sounds a dry affair but this is astonishing, entertaining and profound in equal measures. One of the year’s best documentaries.

In her dark pursuit of protecting her son, the corruption of Romanian life is laid bare in this razor-sharp and gripping film that again demonstrates the creative talent in that country.

Dir. Mathieu Kassovitz (France 2012, 136mins 15) Gritty and true story of a revolt and hostage-taking by separatists in the French colony of New Caledonia in 1988.
