23 April - 5 June > Alternative Cinema

MATTHEW BOURNE’S: THE CAR MAN SATURDAY 18 & THURSDAY 23 JUNE Mareel Cinema  £12 / £10

from the internationally acclaimed choreographer Matthew Bourne and his Dance Company New Adventures, The Car Man is loosely based on Bizet’s popular opera (CARMEN) and has one of the most thrilling and instantly recognisable scores in classical music, brilliantly arranged by Terry Davies. The familiar 19th Century Spanish cigarette factory becomes a greasy garage-diner in 1960’s America where the dreams and passions of a small-town are shattered

by the arrival of a handsome stranger. Fuelled by heat and desire, the inhabitants are driven into an unstoppable spiral of greed, lust, betrayal and revenge.

Lez Brotherston’s epic design, Chris Davey’s evocative lighting and Matthew Bourne’s vivid storytelling take in a wealth of cinematic references, creating a powerful and uncompromising vision of small-town America.

Independence Day: Resurgence (TBC)

Warcraft: The Beginning (12A) Duncan Jones (Moon, Source Code) brings the world of the record-breaking videogame to life in this visually spectacular fantasy epic. Azeroth, a once peaceful nation, is on the brink of war. An army of orc warriors is at the border, fleeing their dying home. They want to make a new life for themselves - but the only life they know is war. In a conflict that threatens to destroy humans and orcs alike, the only chance for survival is if the two races unite. Can anything bring them together before it’s too late?

We always knew they were coming back. After Independence Day redefined the event movie genre, the next epic chapter delivers global catastrophe on an unimaginable scale. Using recovered alien technology, the nations of Earth have collaborated on an immense defense program to protect the planet. But nothing can prepare us for the aliens’ advanced and unprecedented force. Only the ingenuity of a few brave men and women can bring our world back from the brink of extinction.

Starring Liam Helmsworth & Jeff Goldblum.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Alice Through the Looking Out of the Shadows (12A) Glass (PG) In 2014, genetically mutated turtles Michelangelo, Raphael, Donatello and Leonardo stormed the big screen in Michael Bay’s action-packed reboot of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise. Now they’re back to confront their deadliest enemy: The Shredder, who has enlisted scientist Dr. Baxter Stockman to create the deadly Bebop and Rocksteady. Meanwhile, the Turtles are also forced to contend with a New York invasion led by supervillain Krang. Luckily, they have allies in the former of rat mentor Splinter, reporter April O’Neill, Vern Fenwick and vigilante Casey Jones. A host of franchise favourites make their debut in this explosive Turtles sequel, which sees Johnny Knoxville, Jeremy Howard, Noel Fisher and Alan Ritchson reprise their vocal roles as our wisecracking heroes.

Alice Kingsleigh (Wasikowska) has spent the past few years following in her father’s footsteps and sailing the high seas. Upon her return to London, she comes across a magical looking glass and returns to the fantastical realm of Underland and her friends the White Rabbit (Sheen), Absolem (Rickman), the Cheshire Cat (Fry) and the Mad Hatter (Depp), who is not himself. The Hatter has lost his Muchness, so Mirana (Hathaway) sends Alice on a quest to borrow the Chronosphere, a metallic globe inside the chamber of the Grand Clock which powers all time.

Returning to the past, she comes across friends – and enemies – at different points in their lives, and embarks on a perilous race to save the Hatter before time runs out.

SCREENF CUS Shetland Arts presents the first of our ScreenFocus seasons, celebrating the work of Quentin Tarantino.

These films have been carefully chosen by Shetland Arts to showcase one of the most innovative filmmakers of our time. ScreenFocus has been set-up to exhibit all forms of film to Shetland from different studios, directors, actors and film genres. Watch out for more ScreenFocus seasons showing throughout the year at Mareel.

Jackie Brown (15)

Inglourious Basterds (18)

Quentin Tarantino’s acclaimed adaptation of Elmore Leonard’s Rum Punch follows a cash-smuggling flight attendant who is busted by an ATF agent and a cop. When pressured to help with their investigation, she agrees to do one last run for a ruthless arms dealer. Mistrust and suspicions arise when Jackie plays the opposing forces against each other in an effort to walk away with the dough. Robert Forster earned a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination for his role as Max Cherry, a bail bondsman who falls for Jackie and becomes embroiled in the scheme.

A Jewish cinema owner in Nazi-occupied Paris is forced to host a movie premiere for the Third Reich, where a radical group of American soldiers, The Basterds, led by Lt. Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt), plan to roll out a score-settling scheme.

The film was honoured with an Academy Award® for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role (2009, Christoph Waltz) and earned seven total nominations, including Best Motion Picture of the Year for Lawrence Bender and Best Writing, Original Screenplay for Quentin Tarantino.

THURSDAY 16 JUNE, 7.30pm Mareel  £14 / £12 In 2014, Simon Gall (Salsa Celtica) and Jonny Hardie Old Blind Dogs) created Clype, a new project fusing sounds and styles from around the globe, borrowing from Scottish folk traditions as well as from the rhythms of Latin America and harmonic ideas of jazz.

“I urge you to give a listen to Clype. Simon Gall and Jonny Hardie create music which is eclectic, original, accomplished and challenging.”

The Boss (15)

The Nice Guys (15)

Academy Award (R)-nominated star Melissa McCarthy (Bridesmaids, The Heat, Tammy) stars as a titan of industry who is sent to prison after she’s caught for insider trading. When she emerges ready to rebrand herself as America’s latest sweetheart, not everyone she screwed over is so quick to forgive and forget.

Holland March (Ryan Gosling) is a down-on-his-luck private eye barely scraping a living in 1970s Los Angeles. Jackson Healey (Russell Crowe) is a tough guy enforcer who thinks with his fists. When these two polar opposites are unexpectedly thrown together in the search for a missing girl, a darkly hilarious and fast-moving mystery unfolds as they plunge ever further into the city’s seedy underbelly.

A Hologram for the King (12A)

Our Kind of Traitor (15)

Tom Hanks headlines this hilarious comedy-drama based on the novel by Dave Eggers. Newly divorced Alan Clay (Hanks) needs some luck in his life. So when a possible IT contract in Saudi Arabia rears its head, he seizes it with both hands. Clay pitches to the king a massive development in the desert, but after travelling to the country, jetlagged and under intense pressure from his bosses, he’s dismayed to learn that the monarch is nowhere to be found!

Perry (Ewan McGregor) and his girlfriend Gail are on holiday in Morocco when they meet the wealthy and charismatic Dima. The couple soon find out that Dima is not quite what he seems and is in fact a long-time associate of the Russian mafia, who now want him dead.

Dima’s only hope is to convince Perry and Gail to broker him sanctuary with the British intelligence services.

Together, Dima, Perry and Gail brave a tortuous journey through Paris, the Swiss Alps and London…

Money Monster (15)

Me Before You (12A)

Lee Gates (Clooney) is the host of a high-rated financial programme on TV, offering tips to its money-hungry viewers.

But when one viewer, Kyle Budwell (Jack O’Connell), loses all his money due to one of Gates’ tips, things soon take a turn for the worse for the well-to-do TV presenter. Budwell manages to take over the studio, and during a tense standoff broadcast to millions on live TV, he orders Gates to find out what happened. The answer, it seems, points to a conspiracy at the heart of today’s fast-paced, high-tech global markets. Also starring Julia Roberts.

Louisa Clark (Emilia Clarke) is an unambitious, recently unemployed young woman looking for a change in her life. And that’s exactly what she gets when she agrees to become a companion for handsome William Traynor (Sam Claflin), whose promising career was tragically cut short when he was paralysed in a devastating accident. Although their relationship is at first tentative and spiky, a tender romance soon develops with William ultimately teaching Louisa the importance of getting the most out of life.

Sing Street (12A)

Where We’re Meant to Be (15)

From director John Carney (ONCE, BEGIN AGAIN), SING STREET takes us back to 1980s Dublin seen through the eyes of a 14-year-old boy named Conor (Ferdia WalshPeelo) who is looking for a break from a home strained by his parents’ relationship and money troubles, while trying to adjust to his new inner-city public school where the kids are rough and the teachers are rougher.

He finds a glimmer of hope in the mysterious, über-cool and beautiful Raphina (Lucy Boynton), and with the aim of winning her heart he invites her to star in his band’s music videos. There’s only one problem: he’s not part of a band...yet.

Cult-pop raconteur Aidan Moffat sets out to explore Scotland’s past by rewriting and touring its oldest songs.

But he doesn’t count on running into 79-year-old force of nature Sheila Stewart – a travelling balladeer who upturns Moffat’s folk assumptions. He believes the old songs are ripe for updating. She does not. With Stewart’s wrath ringing in his ears, Moffat embarks on a road trip that finds him dressed for battle in a Highland graveyard, caught between feuding monster-hunters at Loch Ness, and singing in a dismissive farmer’s kitchen – before facing Stewart in his home-town of Glasgow for an unlikely final showdown, in this funny wee film about music and death.

Based on Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize winning novel about innocence, strength and conviction and nominated for 8 Academy Awards..

Minuscule: Valley of the Lost Ants (U)

Angry Birds (U) It’s time to meet the ‘Angry Birds’. Red has never fit in with the other birds. But now, he may be the only one who can save their island. When a ship full of pigs arrives at their home, Red immediately suspects something. With the help of the over-enthusiastic Chuck and the (literally) explosive Bomb, he sets out to investigate the pigs and find out why they came to the island. ‘The Angry Birds Movie’ brings the massively popular game from the phone screen to the silver screen with the help of Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad and Peter Dinklage.

Get ready for the biggest adventure in the smallest of sizes!

The race is on, as her unlikely new friends must transport the ultimate treasure - a stolen picnic basket - back home to their colony. With a fierce army of fire ants standing in their way, the little insects must work together to make the perilous journey home. Narrated by Academy Award Winner Richard Dreyfuss, buzzing with humor and beautifully scored, this “heart-swarming” family adventure shows that it takes a huge heart to live small!

Victoria (15)

Dheepan (15)

An adrenaline-fuelled heist thriller set on the streets of nighttime Berlin shot in a single, unbroken take. Victoria, a young woman from Madrid, meets four local guys outside a nightclub in the early hours of the morning.

Striking up a friendship, they take to a nearby rooftop to continue the night. But when the group are suddenly forced to repay a debt to a member of the city’s criminal underworld, the night quickly spirals out of control.

Winner of the Palme d’Or at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival, the new film from acclaimed director Jacques Audiard (A Prophet) is a gripping, human tale of survival. On the losing side of a civil war in Sri Lanka, a Tamil soldier (Antonythasan Jesuthasan) poses as the husband and father of two other refugees in order to escape their ravaged homeland. Arriving in France, the makeshift “family” sets about establishing a new life-only to find themselves once again embroiled in violence on the mean streets of Paris.

Black Mountain Poets (15)

The Man Who Knew Infinity(12A)

A relationship comedy shot in just five days in the Black Mountains of Wales. Alice Lowe and Dolly Wells star as a pair of on-the-run sisters who assume the identities of poets to find refuge at a poetry/camping weekend. Downton Abbey’s Tom Cullen stars as the poet who comes between them. The improvised dialogue – including some magnificent one-liners and an unforgettable dramatic rendering of a barcode – is fresh, hilarious and witty and Ryan Owen Eddleston’s cinematography makes the scenery soar.

The true story of Srinivasa Ramanujan (Dev Patel), a 25-year-old shipping clerk and self-taught genius, who failed out of college due to his near-obsessive, solitary study of mathematics. Determined to pursue his passion despite rejection and derision from his peers, Ramanujan writes a letter to G. H. Hardy (Jeremy Irons), an eminent British mathematics professor at Trinity College, Cambridge. Hardy recognizes the originality and brilliance of Ramanujan’s raw talent and despite the skepticism of his colleagues, undertakes bringing him to Cambridge so that his theories can be explored.

Miles Ahead (15)

Our Little Sister (PG)

Miles Davis was one of the most important and influential jazz musicians of the 20th century. Adored by jazz and rock fans alike, he revolutionised jazz music with his seminal albums Bitches Brew and Kind of Blue. Acclaimed actor Don Cheadle (Iron Man 3, Ocean’s 11) directs and start as the self-destructive Davis in this illuminating biopic of a musician that the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame called “one of the key figures in the history of jazz”.

Based on the award-winning manga series Umimachi Diary, & Nominated for the Palme d’Or. Three sisters Sachi, Yoshino and Chika live together in a large house in the city of Kamakura. When their father absent from the family home for the last 15 years dies, they travel to the countryside for his funeral and meet their shy teenage half-sister.
