Alice in Wonderland (2D) Showing from: Fri 04 Oct Tickets on sale: Tue 01 Oct Disney’s updated live-action / CGI reimagining of Lewis Carroll’s 19thcentury novels Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, as seen through the surreal eyes of Tim Burton. Along with long time collaborator Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter and Helena Bonham Carter as the wicked Red Queen, Alice in Wonderland also boasts a wealth of British talent.

Budding Australian actress Mia Wasikowska stars as the young heroine who journeys down a rabbit hole and ends up in a bizarre fantasy land.

Blue Jasmine Showing from: Fri 04 Oct Tickets on sale: Tue 01 Oct Woody Allen’s new comedy drama is the story of the final stages of the acute life crisis of a fashionable New York housewife. Jasmine arrives in San Francisco in a fragile mental state, her head reeling from the cocktail of anti-depressants she’s on, to stay with her sister Ginger. While still able to project her aristocratic bearing, Jasmine is emotionally precarious and lacks any practical ability to support herself. Delicately portrayed by a regal Cate Blanchett, Jasmine earns our compassion but is the unwitting instrument of her own downfall.

Ain’t Them Bodies Saints Showing from: Fri 04 Oct Tickets on sale: Tue 01 Oct Bob Muldoon (Casey Affleck) and Ruth Guthrie (Rooney Mara), an impassioned young outlaw couple on an extended crime spree, are finally apprehended by lawmen after a shootout in the Texas hills.

Although Ruth wounds a local officer, Bob takes the blame. But four years later, Bob escapes from prison and sets out to find Ruth and their daughter, born during his incarceration. Set against the backdrop of 1970’s Texas Hill Country, director David Lowery paints a poetic picture, evoking the mythology of westerns and saturating the dramatic space with an aching sense of loss.

Sunshine On Leith Showing from: Fri 11 Oct Tickets on sale: Tue 08 Oct Dexter Fletcher directs Sunshine on Leith; a jubilant, heartfelt musical about the power of home, the hearth, family and love. It is the tale of one tight-knit family, and the three couples bound to it, as they experience the joys and heartache that punctuate all relationships. And they do it all while singing to the euphoric music of The Proclaimers.

From the makers of Madagascar and Kung Fu Panda, Turbo is a highvelocity animated comedy for the whole family about an ordinary snail who dares to dream big - and fast.

After a freak accident miraculously gives him the power of superspeed, Turbo kicks his dreaming into overdrive and embarks on an extraordinary journey to achieve the seemingly impossible: racing against famed driver Guy Gagne.

With the help of Turbo’s tricked-out streetwise snail crew, this ultimate underdog puts his heart and shell on the line to prove that no dream is too big, and no dreamer too small.

Tickets on sale: Tue 15 Oct The Wicker Man is a unique, absorbing and intelligent classic horror film. Howie, a dour, upright police sergeant, receives an anonymous letter from the remote Western Isles community of Summerisle asking him to investigate the disappearance of a schoolgirl.

Upon his arrival he discovers a secretive, tightly knit neo-pagan society and evidence of fertility cults and human sacrifice, presided over by Christopher Lee’s laird of Summerisle. Being a devout Christian, he is shocked by the islanders’ sexual openness and ritualistic devotion to the “old gods.” As the mystery of the missing girl unravels, he begins to suspect that she is a victim of human sacrifice. In the film’s chilling final sequence, the truth is revealed when he meets The Wicker Man.

Showing from: Fri 18 Oct

Scheming Bruce Robertson (James McAvoy), a bigoted and corrupt policeman, is in line for a promotion and will stop at nothing to get what he wants. Enlisted to solve a brutal murder and threatened by the aspirations of his colleagues, including Ray Lennox (Jamie Bell), Bruce sets about ensuring their ruin, right under the nose of unwitting Chief Inspector Toal. As he turns his colleagues against one another by stealing their wives and exposing their secrets, Bruce starts to lose himself in a web of deceit that he can no longer control. His past is slowly catching up with him, and a missing wife, a crippling drug habit and suspicious colleagues start to take their toll on his sanity.

The question is: can he keep his grip on reality long enough to disentangle himself from the filth?

Chester’s right-hand-gal - and one of his greatest inventions - is Barb (a highly evolved orangutan with a human brain, who is also devious, manipulative and likes to wear lipstick. It’s always been Flint’s dream to be recognized as a great inventor, but everything changes when he discovers that his most infamous machine (which turns water into food) is still operating and is now creating food-animal hybrids - “foodimals!”

With the fate of humanity in his hands, Chester sends Flint and his friends on a dangerously delicious mission, battling hungry tacodiles, shrimpanzees, apple pie-thons, double bacon cheespiders and other food creatures to save the world again!

Nothing But A Man

The Stuart Hall Project

Showing from: Fri 18 Oct

Showing from: Fri 25 Oct

Tickets on sale: Tue 15 Oct

Tickets on sale: Tue 22 Oct

Showing as part of Black History Month. A landmark of American cinema, this uniquely truthful depiction of black life in early 1960s Alabama rightly won great acclaim. Though it then sank into relative obscurity, a recent restoration by the Library of Congress has again made its many virtues gloriously apparent. When railroad labourer Duff (Ivan Dixon) meets teacher Josie (Abbey Lincoln), he decides it’s time to settle down to marriage and a factory job. Trouble is, he’s expected to tolerate white bosses who, wittingly or not, are unfailingly racist, and Duff has his pride.

This was reputedly Malcolm X’s favourite film and it provides persuasive insights into how social conditions can influence not only relationships but notions of masculinity, responsibility and resistance, so that it still feels surprisingly modern and all too relevant.

Showing as part of Black History Month. Highly acclaimed, this new film from award-winning documentarian John Akomfrah is a sensitive, emotionally charged portrait of cultural theorist Stuart Hall. A founding figure of contemporary cultural studies - and one of the most inspiring voices of the post-war Left - Stuart Hall’s resounding and ongoing influence on British intellectual life commenced soon after he emigrated from Jamaica in 1951. Combining extensive archival imagery - television excerpts, home movies, family photos - with specially filmed material and a personally mixed Miles Davis soundtrack, Akomfrah’s filmmaking approach matches the agility of Hall’s intellect, its intimate play with memory, identity and scholarly impulse traversing the changing historical landscape of the second half of the 20th century.

Nosferatu

Le Week-End Showing from: Fri 25 Oct Tickets on sale: Tue 22 Oct A married couple (Jim Broadbent and Lindsay Duncan) revisit Paris to revitalise their marriage, and run into an old friend (Jeff Goldblum) who acts as a catalyst for things to come. Le Week-end is a funny and poignant story about the nature of love and commitment where husband and wife yearn to recapture their youthful fearlessness, lack of responsibility and idealism.

A new restoration of F. W. Murnau’s legendary silent cinema horror classic Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (1922) - the earliest adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Few films have had a more profound and lasting impact on the horror genre than Murnau’s prime example of German Expressionism, directed to evoke unsettling chills with a strong visual appeal. The film features symphonic lighting, rhythmic editing and horror imagery that has been copied endlessly ever since. The most celebrated sequence – Orlock climbing the stairs to Ellen’s boudoir, his menacing outline casting terrifying wall shadows – remains unparalleled in the horror hall of fame.

Tickets on sale: Tue 22 Oct A perfect Halloween film for all the family! Welcome to the Hotel Transylvania, Dracula’s lavish five-stake resort, where monsters and their families can live it up, free to be the monsters they are without humans to bother them. On one special weekend, Dracula has invited some of the world’s most famous monsters - Frankenstein and his wife, the Mummy, the Invisible Man, a family of werewolves, and more - to celebrate his daughter Mavis’ 118th birthday. For Drac, catering to all of these legendary monsters is no problem - but his world could come crashing down when a human stumbles on the hotel for the first time and takes a shine to Mavis…

12 National Theatre Encore presents

Frankenstein

STARRING BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH & JONNY LEE MILLER. DIRECTED BY DANNY BOYLE. 2 screenings of Mary Shelley’s classic tale with the lead actors alternating roles.

Thursday 31 October, 7pm With Jonny Lee Miller as Frankenstein & Benedict Cumberbatch as his creation.

Sunday 03 November, 3pm With Benedict Cumberbatch as Frankenstein & Jonny Lee Miller as his creation.

Price: £15/£13 per show or £26* for both shows, plus a free drink for each screening.

National Theatre Live’s 2011 broadcast of Frankenstein returns to cinemas as part of the National Theatre’s 50th anniversary celebrations.

Frankenstein enjoyed a sell-out run at the National Theatre, and went on to win awards including the 2012 Olivier Award for Best Actor for Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller. Oscar-winner Danny Boyle directs a sensational production with Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller alternating roles as Victor Frankenstein and his creation.

Childlike in his innocence but grotesque in form, Frankenstein’s bewildered creature is cast out into a hostile universe by his horror-struck maker. Meeting with cruelty wherever he goes, the friendless Creature, increasingly desperate and vengeful, determines to track down his creator and strike a terrifying deal.

Urgent concerns of scientific responsibility, parental neglect, cognitive development and the nature of good and evil are embedded within this thrilling and deeply disturbing classic gothic tale.

*Offer must be purchased by phone or in person at either Islesburgh Community Centre or Mareel, Limited selection of drinks.
