In this powerful study of juvenile violence, the iconic James Dean is Jim, a troublemaker who has caused his parents to move from one town to another before settling in L.A.

“Now a classic, it’s easy to forget how radical this once was. Capturing the youth subculture like no one before… A movie for anyone who’s ever been a teenager.”

Jamie Russell, BBC Movies

Set in 1951, the film follows the iconic star on his first steps towards becoming an international star and the poster boy for youth and rebellion. A Portrait Of James Dean is a brutal and honest exploration of Dean’s complicated sexuality and formative relationships, and redefines the young man behind the image for a new generation.

“Sexy, sleek and stylish movie history at its most smouldering.”

Exquisitely shot and employing a rich variety of cinematic techniques, Putty Hill is one of the most exciting American indie films in years.

Guardian

Nerve Centre Cinema | Programme 44

Businessman Kyung-min meets up with old school friend Jongsuk. They recall their school days when cruel, privileged bullies, ‘The Dogs’, exercised a reign of terror over them, ‘The Pigs’ - their name for the poorer and powerless kids.

Though revolving around high school memories, the film is a very adult piece of animation, dealing with the darker elements of human nature and shining a harsh light on the often-brutal hierarchies of Korean society.

“ Forceful Uncompromising Sucker-Punch of a movie.”

Frankenstein, Dracula, the Mummy and the Werewolf all live together in a hotel in 21st century Carpathia. However, when gawky backpacker Jonathan falls for Dracula’s daughter, he soon discovers they are destined enemies, which makes for a rocky romance.

“There’s no denying this is a handsome affair.”

Tim Evans, Sky Movies

Based on Nick Flynn’s poetic memoir Another Bullshit Night In Suck City, Paul Weitz’s film follows the parallel lives of a hard-bitten conman (De Niro) and his estranged son (Dano), a would-be writer scarred by the suicide of his mother (Moore).

“Some scenes are so poignant you could cry…”

Peter Debruge, Variety

The story of St. Columb’s College, the school that educated the first generation of Catholic students in Northern Ireland - many who would proceed to have an important impact in recent history.

The Boys Of St. Columb’s have become synonymous with success in their chosen fields of music, politics, diplomacy and literature.

“... my parents actually recognised that a cohort of Catholic kids going to school was what was going to break the Northern Irish state.”

SILVER SCREENS Ciaran Foy’s fresh, eerie twist on the urban horror sees a young agoraphobic father tormented by barely human feral youths. Inspired by Foy’s own experience of being attacked, Citadel is at times alarmingly real. Yet it’s the crossover into mythic territory that takes this from hoodies to Homeric territory as Tommy embarks on a quest with a fallen priest and a blind child with special powers.

“Everything a horror film should be…creepy, atmospheric, and packed full of quality scares.”

Twitch Film

“Skillfully taps into primal fears and urban paranoia.”

A heartwarming comedic drama following shy, grumpy pensioner Arthur as he is reluctantly inspired by his beloved wife Marion to join a highly unconventional local choir. Set in London, the story follows Arthur as he embarks on a hilarious, life-affirming journey of musical self-discovery

“Mostly thanks to the towering Terence Stamp…you’ll be hardpressed not to shed a tear or two by the end.”

It’s an adventure into the very concept of storytelling: magical, enthralling and thrilling as much as bewildering, pompous and potty. In other words, up in the clouds.”

West Of Memphis tells the hitherto unknown story behind an extraordinary and desperate fight to bring the truth to light.

Thur 25 Jul | 5pm MACROPOLIS:

SCREENING & DISCUSSION This special screening of Macropolis will include an introduction by Joel Simon, the creative director at Flickerpix Animation Studios and a Q&A discussion.

Macropolis is a seven minute animated film, and is the story of two toys that have been discarded from a factory assembly line because they have impairments.

Coming to life and determined to re-join the other toys, they chase the factory delivery van but end up lost and alone in a big city. It’s new, strange and a little daunting. However, they explore, play and re-interpret the world through their unique perspective. In the end the allies make a discovery, which gives them a new lease on life and an edge over their friends.
