23 September 2011 – Peepli Live (2010, India, Cert. 15, 95 mins)

peepli-live+%25289%2529

Part comedy, part satire, this film tells the story of an Indian farmer, Natha, facing destitution due to an unpaid loan. His brother suggests suicide, which would bring the family compensation payments. Suddenly their plight becomes an issue in a local election, and a media frenzy develops around the brothers and their plans.

 

 

21 October 2011 – Distant Voices, Still Lives (1988, UK, Cert. 15, 85 mins)

site_28_rand_1373225698_distant_voices_still_1_maxed

Written and directed by Terence Davies, and starring the late Pete Postlethwaite, this is two films in one, an elegy for working class life in the Liverpool of the 1940s and 50s. The Guardian described the film, re-released in 2007, as ‘Britain’s forgotten cinematic masterpiece’. We will also show a short film to accompany this.

 

 

25 November 2011 – The Reader (2009, US Germany, Cert. 15, 124 mins)

ANd9GcSSVbT6d3zUvZyENNnJx1b42E4slSidOUmfp6JkS8LntEfnBiwJ

Starring Kate Winslet and Ralph Fiennes, The Reader begins with an affair between a teenager and an older woman in postwar Germany. Many years later he meets her again, when he is a law student and she the defendant in a war crimes trial. A story about truth and reconciliation, about how one generation comes to terms with the crimes of another.

 

 

27 January 2012 – Lemon Tree (2008, Israel, Cert. PG, 106 mins)

Hiam-Abbass--IMG_3539-787118

A personal take on the Middle East conflict, Lemon Tree is the story of a Palestinian widow struggling to preserve the family’s lemon trees, which have been deemed a security threat by the Israeli government. Rotten Tomatoes commented: ‘A positive and personal film that offers an understated and thought-provoking vision of the West Bank troubles’.

 

 

24 February 2012 – The Illusionist (2010, UK/France, Cert. PG, 80 mins)

Illusionist-006

According to the Guardian, ‘this movie by the French film-maker Sylvain Chomet is an act of homage and an act of cinematic love: A classically conceived, hand-drawn animation based on a script by Jacques Tati. The result is utterly distinctive and beguiling, with its own language and grammar of innocence …’

                                                                                            

 

23 March 2012 – ‘Mystery Film’

 

 

 

 

27 April 2012 – Made in Dagenham (2010, UK, Cert. 15, 113 mins)

In 1968 the women machinists at the Ford car plant in Dagenham went on strike for better pay. This film, starring Sally Hawkins and Bob Hoskins, chronicles their struggle for equality, which acted as a catalyst for the feminist movement of the 70s. ‘It combines the clear, explicit and nuanced politics of the best of Ken Loach with the heart-grabbing attractions of any mainstream popular film you care to name.’

 

All films shown at 8 pm, doors open 7.30.                         Programme subject to change due to circumstances beyond our control.
