The Sense of an Ending (15)

Mad Max: Fury Road (15)

A contemplative but compelling adaptation of Julian Barnes' Man Booker Prize-winning novel about regret, remorse and redemption.

Tony Webster (Jim Broadbent) leads a reclusive and quiet existence until long buried secrets from his past force him to face the flawed recollections of his younger self, the truth about his first love, and the devastating consequences of decisions made a lifetime ago.

Ditching the vibrant colours of the 2015 cinema release, this new black-and-white version is director George Miller’s preferred vision of his post-apocalyptic world.

Max Rockatansky joins a band of renegades fleeing across the wastelands, led by elite Imperator Furiosa, who is hell-bent on crossing the desert to reach sanctuary in her childhood homeland. They’re hotly and viciously pursued by the warlord Immortan Joe and his ruthless followers.

> ScreenPride

SCREENPRIDE Get Out (15)

Handsome Devil (15)

Jordan Peele’s debut perfectly balances suspense, humour and horror while making a hard-hitting political statement about liberal America. Rose invites her boyfriend Chris to spend the weekend upstate with her parents. At first, Chris reads the family's overly accommodating behaviour as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter's interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he could never have imagined.

Monthly screenings of contemporary and classic films with themes of LGBT. Everyone welcome!

A teen outcast at an Irish boarding school finds an unlikely ally, in this effortlessly charming coming-of-age tale.

Ned would much rather hide away in his room and listen to David Bowie than play rugby with the sports-obsessed lads who surround him. When he is assigned a new roommate, a brooding hunk named Conor, it seems like a match made in hell. But appearances can be deceptive...

Alien: Covenant (Cert: TBC)

Pirates Of The Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge (Cert: TBC)

Director Ridley Scott returns once more to the universe he created, with a new chapter in his groundbreaking Alien franchise.

The crew of the colony ship Covenant, bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise. By the time they realise it is actually a dark, unimaginably dangerous world, escape seems impossible.

Depp returns to the big screen as iconic, swashbuckling anti-hero Jack Sparrow in the latest rip-roaring Pirates movie. When a band of deadly ghost sailors, led by the terrifying Captain Salazar, escape from the Devil's Triangle, they are bent on killing every pirate at sea – especially Captain Jack. Jack's only hope of survival lies in seeking out the legendary Trident of Poseidon, a powerful artefact that bestows upon its possessor total control over the seas…

> Classical Season

Love's Fire, Love's Ashes FRIDAY 19 MAY, 7.30pm Mareel  £16 / £5

Claudio Monteverdi’s madrigals are a theatre of the senses. The murmur of the waves, an amorous glance, the coolness of water or the heat of the sun are all brought to life through the composer’s unparalleled gift for marrying text and music. Indeed, the music in these eight books stands alongside Schubert’s songs, or Bach’s cantatas, as one of the greatest collections of intimately personal music ever produced.

This programme aims to showcase the ravishing beauty of these madrigals, as well as their expressive scope: profound darkness and blinding light; searing grief and amorous rapture.

Like Shakespeare or Leonardo, there is a fresh twinkle to Monteverdi’s genius each time you look. This is music to stir the passions and move the soul, and – as the composer explicitly desired – to make us feel and know more vividly both the pain and pleasure of being alive.

Whisky Galore (PG)

Mindhorn (15)

The inhabitants of a Scottish island conspire to plunder 50,000 cases of whisky from a nearby stranded ship.

A warm and witty remake of the beloved 1949 film, which was based on the novel by Compton Mackenzie, and which itself was based on the real events of 1941, when the S.S. Politician was shipwrecked in the Outer Hebrides. Gregor Fisher and Eddie Izzard star, and our very own Chris Stout plays on the soundtrack!

A washed-up actor has a chance to relive his glory days in this hilarious comedy starring Julian Barratt.

Has-been actor Richard Thorncroft’s career peaked with hit 1980s TV show 'Mindhorn', where he played a detective whose eye was replaced by an optical lie detector, meaning he could literally 'see the truth'.

When a deranged criminal demands to speak to Detective Mindhorn, Thorncroft agrees to help the police in the hope that the publicity will resuscitate his career.

Snatched (Cert: TBC)

Their Finest (12A)

A hilarious, outrageous comedy starring Amy Schumer and Goldie Hawn.

After her boyfriend dumps her on the eve of their exotic vacation, impetuous dreamer Emily Middleton persuades her ultra-cautious mother Linda to travel with her to South America. When they suddenly find themselves in a dangerous situation, these polar opposites must put their differences aside and work together if they’re to escape their jungle adventure in one piece!

A witty, romantic and moving portrayal of a young woman finding her way, and her voice, in the mayhem of war… and the movies! 1940, London, the Blitz; with the country’s morale at stake, Catrin (Gemma Arterton), an untried screenwriter, and a makeshift cast and crew including eccentric actor Ambrose Hilliard (Bill Nighy), work under fire to make a film to lift the nation’s flagging spirits, and inspire America to join the war.

Power Rangers (12A)

Molly Monster (U)

A modern reinvention of the hit 90s TV show, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Five ordinary high school kids learn that their small town of Angel Grove – and the world – is on the verge of being obliterated by an alien threat. Chosen by destiny, our heroes quickly discover that they are the only ones who can save the planet, but to do so they will have to work together.

A charming animation about a little monster who has to learn to share her parents with a new arrival.

Molly is the deeply-loved only-monster of Popo and Etna Monster. When her parents go off to Egg Island, leaving her in the care of her uncles, Molly realises they’ve forgotten something, so she sets off with her best friend Edison on a journey that takes her far away from home and over the Wild Hills.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (12A)

Beauty and the Beast (PG)

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 continues the team's adventures as they traverse the outer reaches of the cosmos.

The Guardians must fight to keep their newfound family together as they unravel the mysteries of Peter Quill's true parentage. Old foes become new allies and favourite characters from the classic comics will come to our heroes' aid as the Marvel cinematic universe continues to expand.

Disney’s animated classic gets a sumptuous live-action reboot, starring Emma Watson as Belle.

Belle is a bookish young woman who goes in search of her father when he disappears after visiting a mysterious castle. When she gets there, she is shocked to learn that he is a prisoner of the monstrous Beast, and volunteers to take his place.

Initially terrified of her captor, she soon learns he is not the brute he seems...

FRIDAY 26 MAY, 8pm Mareel  £15 Composer and filmmaker Mark Lyken interprets, Ben F Laposky’s pioneering “Oscillon” Electronic Abstractions.

Working in collaboration with Sanford Museum, Iowa this Cryptic commission for Sonica 2015 merges Lyken’s sonic responses and visualisations with Laposky’s groundbreaking 1950s art works.

Responding to a selection of six strikingly different photographic works capturing complex, rhythmic waveforms, not only are Laposky’s images an inspiration for Lyken’s compositions but the creative process behind the artworks has also been utilised to generate the accompanying visuals for the performance.

The Artist’s Garden: American Impressionism SUNDAY 21 MAY Mareel  £9 / £7

Travelling to studios, gardens and iconic locations throughout the United States, UK and France, this mesmerising film is a feast for the eyes.

Taking its lead from French artists like Renoir and Monet, the American impressionist movement followed its own path, which reveals as much about America as a nation as it does about its art. It’s a story closely tied to a love of gardens and a desire to preserve nature in a rapidly urbanising nation.

British Museum presents Hokusai SUNDAY 4 JUNE Mareel  £12 / £10

SCREENF CUS

Love and laughter are our focus with our latest movie showcase, featuring four great romantic comedies from masters of the genre Frank Capra, Woody Allen, Nora Ephron and Richard Curtis.

Manhattan (12A)

Sleepless in Seattle (PG)

Setting the tone and style for many of his later movies, this early masterpiece from Woody Allen celebrates, as ever, his beloved New York. Allen stars as Isaac, a neurotic TV comedy writer who feels uneasy about his relationship with a 17-year-old girl (Mariel Hemingway) and escapes into the arms of his best friend's mistress (Diane Keaton), all the while coping with the unsettling presence of his ex-wife (Meryl Streep).

Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan star in Nora Ephron’s whimsical charmer. Sam Baldwin is a widower living in Seattle with his eight-year-old son Jonah. One night, a desperate Jonah calls a radio psychologist to see if she can help Sam find a new wife. Across the country, Annie Reed, a reporter for The Baltimore Sun, hears the show and becomes obsessed with Sam’s story, even though she’s already engaged…

SCREENClassics The Happiest Days of Your Life (U)

Four Weddings and a Funeral (15)

Classic films back on the big screen where they belong.

We’ve an absolute treat for you this month, an uproarious comedy starring Alastair Sim and Margaret Rutherford.

During World War II, a London girls' school is evacuated to the country, but due to a bureaucratic error they find themselves billeted with a boys' school. While the boys and girls soon hit it off, the headmaster clashes with the headmistress, and chaos ensues when the school inspectors arrive.

A London bachelor's misfortunes in love look set to change when he meets an American beauty at a wedding. However, the prospect of a transatlantic relationship succeeding seems slim, so the pair go their separate ways – only for him to realise he is unable to get her out of his mind.

The Olive Tree (15) Spirited young farmer Alma travels from Spain to Germany, determined to retrieve her ailing grandfather’s thousand-year-old olive tree from the energy company that bought it. She is helped in her mission by old and new friends, as the film touches on the economic devastation of Spain’s agricultural industry, and activism in the age of social media.

The Fits (12A)

Graduation (15)

11 year-old Toni is torn between two worlds, the boxing gym where she spars with her brother, and the adjacent space where a female dance troupe practices. Drawn to the dancers, she eventually joins them, but soon afterwards the members of the group begin suffering fainting fits.

Surgeon Romeo Aldea is immensely proud of his 18-year-old daughter Eliza, who has been offered a scholarship to a British university on graduation. After a violent incident leaves Eliza unable to sit her final exams , her seemingly respectable father begins to pursue increasingly desperate measures in a bid to preserve her future prospects.

Elle (18)

Aquarius (18)

Michèle, the ruthless head of a successful video game company, seems indestructible. After she’s assaulted in her home by an unknown assailant, she decides to track the attacker down, and the two are drawn into a curious and thrilling game – a game that may, at any moment, spiral out of control.

Clara, a 65-year-old widow and retired music critic, is the last resident of the Aquarius, one of the few buildings of its age and character that remains in a rapidly changing seaside neighbourhood. Clara has pledged to leave only upon death, but a development company is piling on the pressure…

Shetland Arts Development Agency manages Bonhoga Gallery, The Garrison Theatre & Mareel. We also develop and promote a year round programme of film, music, theatre, literature, visual arts, & dance events.

We do this because we want to see Shetland celebrated as a place where inspiration & innovation are valued; where people want to live, work & study; and we want the full social & economic potential of the islands to be achieved.

Shetland Arts is supported by Creative Scotland and core funded by the Shetland Charitable Trust. Shetland Arts is a registered charity (SCO37082).
