The Hedgehog Le hérissonFriday 2 – Thursday 15 September

Precocious eleven-year-old rich girl Paloma, who is intent on ending her life on her twelfth birthday, makes a film to explain why she thinks life is absurd. Fascinated by art and philosophy, she documents life in her Parisian apartment building, making trenchant and often hilarious observations about those around her. But as her birthday approaches, Paloma finally meets some kindred spirits in the form of solitary concierge Renée Michel and enigmatic and elegant neighbour Mr Kakuro Ozu. Based on the best-selling novel by Muriel Barbery, this is a sophisticated story in the best sense of the word: complex and layered, observant and warmly humane.

The screening on Wednesday 14 September (18.15) will be introduced by Dr Christopher Gow.Programme notes are available in the cinema and online at www.glasgowfilm.org

Director Mona AchacheCast Josiane Balasko, Garance Le Guillermic, Togo IgawaFrance 2009, 1h39m, subtitles, 12A: contains suicide theme

The Skin I Live in La piel que habitoFriday 26 August – Thursday 8 September

The Skin I Live in reunites Almodóvar with his favourite leading man Antonio Banderas after twenty-one years of working apart. Banderas plays accomplished plastic surgeon Robert Ledgard who, since his wife was fatally burned in a car crash, has been working on a new type of skin with which he could have saved her. After twelve years, he manages to cultivate a skin that is a shield against every assault. Now he just needs a human guinea pig... Influenced by Fritz Lang and Georges Franju’s Eyes Without a Face, Almodóvar is playing on the outskirts of horror. Programme notes are available in the cinema and online at www.glasgowfilm.org

Director Pedro AlmodóvarCast Elena Anaya, Antonio Banderas, Blanca SuárezSpain 2011, 2h, subtitles, 15

In a better World HaevenFriday 2 – Thursday 8 September

2011 Academy Award and Golden Globe winner, In a Better World is a breathtaking exploration of cycles of violence in modern society. Claus moves to Denmark following his wife’s death. Anton, recently separated from his wife, commutes to work at an African refugee camp. As each family deals with conflict and grief, their sons form an extraordinary and dangerous friendship with potentially tragic consequences. Ultimately, all must choose between forgiveness and revenge. Oscar nominee and Sundance winner Susanne Bier masterfully uncovers the fragility of everyday life and the chaos lurking beneath.

Jane Eyre Friday 9 – Thursday 22 September

The quintessential Victorian, death-steeped romance is given a contemporary immediacy in this bold new adaptation from director Cary Joji Fukunaga (Sin Nombre) and screenwriter Moira Buffini (Tamara Drewe). Neither a contemporary re-working nor a stuffily respectable costume drama, this Jane Eyre employs a nifty flashback structure and plays up the novel’s gothic sensibility. Michael Fassbender brings wit and smouldering intensity to the role of the ‘abrupt and changeful’ aristo Mr Rochester, and together he and Mia Wasikowska as Jane make a ravishing pair of romantics… and give proceedings an unexpected sizzle.

Fukunaga has reanimated a classic for a new generation, letting Jane Eyre resonate with terror and tenderness. Rolling StoneProgramme notes are available in the cinema and online at www.glasgowfilm.org

Director Cary Joji FukunagaCast Judi Dench, Mia Wasikowska, Michael FassbenderUK/USA 2011, 2h1m, PG

post Mortem Friday 9 – Thursday 15 September

With frosty gaze and jet-black sense of humour intact, director Pablo Larraín returns with this even more unnerving follow-up to 2009’s Tony Manero, set against the backdrop of Chile’s murderous 1973 military coup. Mario (Alfredo Castro, Tony in the earlier film) is a stenographer at a morgue, and something of a walking cadaver himself: stiff, grey, blank-eyed. He picks the day of the coup against Allende to act on his long-suppressed feelings for his next-door neighbour, ageing show-girl Nancy – his self-absorbed, borderline psychotic drive for her affections reflecting Pinochet’s own sociopathic fight for power. As in Tony Manero, Larraín captures his protagonist’s mushrooming derangement with an impressive rigour, using ultra-widescreen cinematography for constricting close-ups and off-kilter compositions to generate a memorably nasty chill.

Director Pablo LarraínCast Marcelo Alonso, Alfredo Castro, Steve NaveChile/Germany/Mexico 2010, 1h38m, subtitles, 15

TomboyFriday 16 – Thursday 22 September

This second feature from the director of 2007’s Water Lillies was one of the most admired films at the Berlin Film Festival this year. Ten-year-old tomboy Laure moves to a new flat with her parents and younger sister. When new neighbour Lisa mistakes her for a boy, Laure seizes the opportunity to live out a new persona. As Michaël, Laure has a confidence that eludes her as a girl and she is soon adopted and admired by Lisa and a posse of local youngsters. But how long can she keep her secret? Tender, funny and naturalistic, Tomboy recalls classic French coming-of-age movies like The 400 Blows (1959), but brought up to date with just a dash of Gus Van Sant. Wonderful.

The screening on Tuesday 20 September (19.30) is part of GFT’s Screen Salon event, see p25 for full details.Programme notes are available in the cinema and online at www.glasgowfilm.org

poetry Monday 19 – Wednesday 21 September

A terrific performance from veteran actress Yun Junghee is the shining heart of an intelligent, satisfying melodrama from Secret Sunshine director Lee Changdong. Yun Junghee plays Yang Mija, an elegant, sixty-something woman who looks after her sullen, bone idle grandson. She has enrolled at a local arts centre and committed herself to writing a poem. A trip to the doctor confirms the early signs of dementia. A call to the school reveals that her grandson was part of a gang who raped a girl. The other parents want to pay hush money to the girl’s family. As Yang Mija struggles to survive the harshness of the modern world, her simple quest to write a poem becomes heroic in this sensitive, deeply moving tale.

Winner of the Best Screenplay Award at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival.

Director Lee Changdong Cast Yun Junghee, Lee David, Kim Hira South Korea 2010, 2h20m, subtitles, 12A: contains one use of strong language, moderate sex and sex references

The Light Thief Svet-AkeFriday 16 (14.45/18.45) & Saturday 17 September (16.45/20.45)

Blending tradition with political commentary, The Light Thief is a modern-day folk tale of good and evil in which an electrician devotes himself to improving his neighbours’ lives. Fixing anything he can including short circuits, power cuts, electricity meters and even marriages, Svet-Ake is an unassuming local hero in his small Kyrgyzstan village. When unemployment and capitalist corruption challenge the villagers, he refuses to give up his humble struggles.

Director Aktam Arym KubatCast Aktan Arym Kubat, Asan AmanovFrance/Germany/Kyrgyzstan/Netherlands 2010, 1h20m, subtitles, 15

Mademoiselle ChambonFriday 23 – Thursday 29 September

Vincent Lindon, that grizzled heartthrob of French cinema, is the star of this elegant, moving tale of unexpected romance. He plays Jean, a married builder who falls for his son’s primary-school teacher, the mademoiselle of the film’s title. He’s gruff, she’s refined: both sense that it’s impossible, but there’s an undeniable spark between them, and neither will let it fade. Patient, thoughtful direction – a sensitivity to the rhythms of this special relationship, full of misconstrued signals and ambiguous feelings – makes Mademoiselle Chambon more than just another tale of male midlife crisis: by the end, the question of whether familial responsibility or passionate spontaneity will win out is genuinely suspenseful.

Troll HunterFriday 23 – Thursday 29 September

All of us know the rules of zombie and vampire combat, but how do you fight against trolls again? Three novice filmmakers set out to investigate a series of unexplained bear poaching incidents that are plaguing the Norwegian countryside. Their investigation quickly implicates Hans, a shadowy loner who unexpectedly invites the trio into his world, revealing the poaching epidemic as an orchestrated cover for Hans’ top-secret work managing the country’s rampant and unruly troll population. From there, Troll Hunter is a wildly entertaining ride – part conspiracy thriller, part creature feature, part deadpan Scandinavian comedy. You won’t see anything more dynamic or original this year.

The screening on Wednesday 28 September (18.20) will be introduced by Dr Christopher Gow.

page One: A year Inside the New york TimesFriday 23 – Thursday 29 September

Two years ago the advertising market for newspapers catastrophically collapsed and dozens of American newspapers shut down. Filmmaker Andrew Rossi stepped into the maelstrom by spending a year at the media desk of the august New York Times, where gumshoe reporters are following the enormous impact of new media on old. The unlikely hero of the media desk is David Carr, a gravelly voiced ex-crack addict, who hit rock bottom before cleaning up and skyrocketing through the ranks of journalism. He sits alongside Brian Stelter, who earned his desk at the NYT by writing a fantastically successful media blog while still in university. They’re chasing up stories of the mergers and collapses shaking up their industry whilst hoping that they’re not the ones making the news next. This is very much West Wing territory – professionals at the top of their game in extraordinary times – and a pure pleasure to watch. Sheffield Doc/FestProgramme notes are available in the cinema and online at www.glasgowfilm.org

AttenbergMonday 26 – Thursday 29 September

From the producer of Dogtooth comes another distinct and stylish film from Greece. Attenberg is about Marina, a young woman living in a small coastal town who is infatuated with synth-pop band Suicide and the documentaries of David Attenborough. Despite help from her father and close friend Bella she struggles to understand the rituals of human interactions, attempting to make sense of her relationships with the same detached manner demonstrated by her favourite naturalist. Filled with playful set pieces, deadpan humour and unexpected poignancy, Attenberg frequently defies categorisation making it a standout film.

Even the RainThursday 22 September (18.00)

Nominated for thirteen Goyas (Spain’s Oscars), Even the Rain features Gael García Bernal as Sebastian, a filmmaker caught up in Bolivia’s mass protests against the privatisation of the national water company. As he tries to tell the story of Columbus’ colonization of the new world, his cast and crew get drawn into a contemporary version of events, blurring the boundaries between past and present.

The Story of Glasgow in Four ChaptersSunday 18 September (13.00)

Compressing 800 years into a forty-minute talk, this presentation considers the evolution of Glasgow from a centre of pilgrimage to the world city of today. En-route it introduces the 12th century bishop and marketing genius who really got the whole thing going, the slave-owning plutocrats whose names are still in everyday use and the pivotal role of Glasgow’s weavers in the invention of world tourism.

photography exhibition in Café Cosmo

beautiful GlasgowThursday 1 – Friday 30 September

Highlights from French photographer Jean-Marc Millière’s photographic art book Beautiful Glasgow will feature in an exhibition in Café Cosmo throughout September. Jean-Marc will be on hand on Sunday 18 September (10.00–21.00) to sign copies of the limited collectors’ edition of Beautiful Glasgow (on sale for £20.00).

Jean-Marc describes Beautiful Glasgow as ‘a selection of shots, taken during my many Glaswegian strolls, of places that have caught my eye, without the desire to create a sense of cohesion or create an archive of different parts of the city. Neither of these would fulfil the aim of this book which is to offer you a photographic promenade leading you to discover or rediscover some aspects of Glasgow that are dear to my heart.’

Poland in the near future. A man wakes up in a hotel room with a gun and a briefcase full of money but no memory. When he throws the money out a window, the film follows one of the banknotes as it changes hands, altering the lives of those who touch it. This latest offering from Grzegorz Lipiec, one of Poland’s leading indie directors, is influenced by Dogme aesthetics and the tricksy narratives of Quentin Tarantino and Guy Ritchie.

French CancanWednesday 28 (16.10) & Thursday 29 September (18.30)

A loving tribute to the Paris painted by his father Pierre Auguste and the other Impressionists, Jean Renoir’s digitally restored classic is one of the great Technicolor films and an exquisite musical.

Jean Gabin is memorably marvellous as impresario Danglard, who plans to launch his latest club – the Moulin Rouge – with a reinvigorated version of the cancan. That the dance will feature his new ‘discovery’, lovely young Montmartre laundress Nini, only ignites the jealousy of his belly-dancer lover Lola... Charting Danglard’s risky adventures in romance and show business, this putting-on-a-show story culminates in one of the most exhilarating dance sequences ever filmed. A glorious celebration of human passion, in all its absurdity and thrilling vitality.

Jean has a secret crush on Émilie and mails her an anonymous love letter, which she decides to copy out and mail to her love-spurned mother! Further complications arise when Émilie’s feelings for Jean start to develop. Classic French farce in the tradition of La cage aux folles (1979) and this year’s Potiche.

Carla’s Song + GFT Screen SalonSunday 4 September (19.30)

At the height of the Nicaraguan civil war, a young woman takes home her Glaswegian bus driver boyfriend, who has his eyes opened by American involvement in the country’s affairs. Loach’s first collaboration with writer Paul Laverty (who had worked as a human rights lawyer in Nicaragua), Carla’s Song is a film of two halves – romantic and political.

In the first of our new Screen Salon events, journalist and film critic Gail Tolley gives an illustrated introduction to Carla’s Song and the Ken Loach at 75 season, and leads a post-screening audience discussion. For more on what to expect, see p25.

Cast Robert Carlyle, Oyanka Cabezas, Scott GlennUK/Spain/Germany 1996, 2h6m, subtitles, 15

During September, the british Film Institute in London will mark Ken Loach’s 75th birthday and 50-year career in film and television with the most comprehensive-ever retrospective of his work.

Of course, the director has for many years worked with Glaswegian screenwriter paul Laverty and made Glasgow and the surrounding area the setting for his films. So we thought we’d get in on the party with a re-run of his much-loved debut feature, Kes, and screenings of all four of his Scottish films.

Get involved by sharing your memories of Ken Loach in Glasgow: perhaps you were an extra in Ae Fond Kiss, recognise the picnicking spot in Carla’s Song, or remember the shoot for My Name is Joe at the end of your road? Either email your stories directly to us at [email protected] or add them to the cinema memories form at www.glasgowfilm.org/cinema_city/cinema_memories. Our favourite stories will feature on the Cinema City website (an online celebration of Glasgow’s love affair with film) and those who wrote them will win free tickets to the Ken Loach screenings.

CINEMA CITY: KEN LOACh AT 75

My Name is Joe Sunday 11 September (19.30)

A recovering alcoholic and football coach embarks on a tentative romance with a health visitor encountered through their shared concern for a young couple troubled by debt and drug addiction. Typically insightful and moving, and surprisingly sexy (for a Loach movie), Joe was an audience favourite at GFT on first release.

Ae Fond Kiss Sunday 25 September (17.30)

In this astute Glasgow-set riff on the Romeo and Juliet theme, the star-crossed lovers are a white Catholic schoolteacher and a second-generation Scots-Pakistani DJ. Religion, race, tradition, modernity, age and gender clash, but Loach and screenwriter Paul Laverty bring a light touch to the material, and even allow themselves a cautiously optimistic (if uncertain and bittersweet) ending.

This screening will be introduced by actor Atta yaqub.

Sweet Sixteen Sunday 18 September (17.00)

Martin Compston exudes a scruffy charisma as teenager Liam who, to buy a caravan and begin a better life when his junkie mum gets out of jail, takes to dealing drugs around his Greenock estate – in the process crossing local gangsters and jeopardising relationships with his older sister and joyriding best mate, Pinball. Edgy, grim, but with dashes of unexpected humour.

KesMonday 26 (18.15) & Tuesday 27 September (12.45)

Fifteen-year-old Billy lives with his dismissive mother and embittered coal miner brother on a drab Barnsley estate. He’s evasive, disengaged, light-fingered, but there’s a spark in him – a spark neglected rather than nourished by family and teachers. Then one morning he spots a kestrel, catches and begins to train it. And suddenly a brief opportunity of escape opens up: his growing interest in the art of falconry, coupled with an admiration for the bird’s own hunting skills and proud independence, allow him at least to glimpse an alternative to the tediously oppressive present and the uninviting future that awaits him down the mine. Named one of the ten best British films of the century by the BFI.

For details of our schools’ screening of Kes, followed by a Q&A with Ken Loach, see p26.

FilmCamp Meets Social Media Week Tuesday 20 September (14.00–17.00)

What do Milan, LA and Moscow have in common with Glasgow? They’re all hosting Social Media Week (SMW) from 19–23 September this year. SMW is a global platform connecting people, content and conversation around emerging trends in social and mobile media. GFT is getting on the act with an afternoon of talks offering a film-centric slant on current debates in social media.

We kick off at 14.00 with a presentation from the folks at Scottish-based film websites ReelScotland and Netribution looking at the impact of social media on traditional filmmaking, distribution and marketing. At 14.45, we’ll hear from Blipfoto founder and CEO Joe Tree, who’ll reveal how and why the site has attracted such a unique community, the values that lie at its core, the new relationships it nurtures between users, and how participation online bleeds back into the real world. From 15.30, Google take centre stage to discuss how YouTube is proving such a successful experimental platform for filmmakers worldwide.

As with our previous FilmCamp events, admission is free. These ‘un-conferences’ are designed to facilitate the sharing of ideas in an open environment. You can stay for all three talks or just pop in for the one that interests you particularly. Check GFT’s website (www.glasgowfilm.org) nearer the time for more detailed information on our speakers and events, or visit www.socialmediaweek.org/glasgow.

Melancholia Wednesday 28 September (18.45)

The opening sequence of Melancholia instantly reveals that there will be no happy ending. No amount of science or weaponry can save the Earth as it is about to be swallowed up by a planet named Melancholia. This apocalyptic sucker-punch results in a movie which is infinitely morbid but completely compelling, and at times very moving.

Melancholia is then played out over two chapters. The first focuses on Kirsten Dunst who plays Justine, a newly wed who is overwhelmingly depressed despite this supposedly being the happiest day of her life. The second half features her sister Claire (Charlotte Gainsbourg) as she struggles to accept her husband’s belief that Melancholia will not strike the Earth.

Lars von Trier creates a mesmerizing, visually gorgeous and often-moving alloy of family drama. The Telegraph

This special screening will be followed by a Q&A with actress Kirsten Dunst, beamed in live via satellite from London.

ClerksFriday 30 September (23.00)

When Dante (Brian O’Halloran) is reluctantly put in charge of the Quick Stop convenience store on his day off, he tries half-heartedly to perform his minimum-wage duties as efficiently as possible. Meanwhile, best friend Randall (Jeff Anderson) is working behind the counter of the adjacent video store, but only when he feels like it. Filmed in black and white on a minuscule budget, this bleakly funny comedy began the career of outspoken writer-director Kevin Smith, who went on to make Chasing Amy, Dogma and soon-to-be-released Red State.

Wayne’s WorldFriday 16 September (23.00)

Based on the Saturday Night Live sketch of the same name, Wayne’s World is an irreverent comedy about the adventures of two metal-head friends, Wayne and Garth. Together they host a late-night cable TV show in Illinois, on which they ogle pictures of female celebrities, play air guitar and mock the stupidity of the locals. When their growing success convinces a sleazy TV executive to buy the rights to their show, Wayne is ecstatic but Garth worries that they’ve sold out. Schwing along with one of the funniest films of the 90s.

Based on true events that shocked a nation, this is an enthralling and frightening film of teenage obsession.

Screen Debates

Trust Tuesday 13 September (17.45)

Trust is an intelligent drama in which a teenage girl is targeted by an online sexual predator. At its heart is a star-in-the-making performance by fifteen-year-old Liana Liberato as Annie, a smart, funny, slightly shy suburban kid who meets a boy in a teen chat-room. The seduction is horribly plausible. This new friend tells Annie he’s sixteen. They flirt. He messages her a confession: actually he’s a college student. His age creeps up and when they meet he’s forty and a nondescript clean-cut family man in dad-chinos. And an expert manipulator: ‘I thought you were old enough to handle this?’ The encounter has devastating and unforeseen consequences for Annie, her mother Lynn (Catherine Keener) and father Will (Clive Owen) as the police become involved. Can the family survive this ordeal?

This screening will be followed by a discussion led by a panel including: Karen boyle, Lecturer in Film & TV Studies; Chief Inspector Graham Goulden, Violence Reduction Unit; and Liz Grattan, Team Leader, Family Support project.

1950s London. In the kitchen of an enormous West End restaurant, the orders are piling up: a post-war feast of soup, fish, cutlets, omelettes and fruit flans. The Kitchen puts the workplace centre stage in a blackly funny and furious examination of life lived at breakneck speed, when work threatens to define who we are. Arnold Wesker’s extraordinary play premiered at the Royal Court in 1959 and has since been performed in over thirty countries.

Come Closer Saturday 10 September (15.30)

Berlin Golden Bear-winning director Peter Mackie Burns allows the audience access to the private lives of disparate Glaswegians in this intimate documentary portrait of a city and its people. We are privy to their conversations, private moments and everyday occurrences in a piece that often makes for stirring and even voyeuristic viewing. Accompanied by the ambient music of Sigur Rós, the city takes on a character of its own as we follow the protagonists’ lives through an ever-changing landscape, and all of life is examined, from cradle to grave.

GFT is delighted that director peter Mackie burns will introduce the screening and participate in a Q&A afterwards.

Self MadeSaturday 3 (15.45) & Wednesday 7 (16.10) & Thursday 8 September (18.30)

Self Made is the debut documentary feature from Turner Prize winning artist Gillian Wearing. Filmed on location in Newcastle it follows adverts that asked the public: ‘Would you like to be in a film? You can play yourself or a fictional character.’ Successful applicants were cast, undertaking a method acting workshop, and subsequently feature in the film. Wearing makes the provocation that in a world where CCTV, reality television and ‘fictionalised’ documentary make us all into performers, reality and fiction are interchangeable commodities. Are we all playing a role, consciously or unconsciously?

GFT is delighted that the screening on Saturday 3 September (15.45) will be followed by a Q&A with director Gillian Wearing, streamed live from the Cornerhouse cinema in Manchester.

‘I’m not black, I’m not white, not foreign, just different in the mind. Different brains, that’s all,’ explains fifteen-year-old Billy in Jennifer Venditti’s provocative coming of age film. Billy’s intuitive commentary and intimate verite footage reveal a unique attitude as he responds to a painful childhood, first time love, and his experience as an outsider in small town Maine. By turns humorous and disturbing, this portrait challenges the viewer to understand a triumphant teen on his own terms.

The screening will be preceded by short film The Waltzer Boys (10 mins), directed by Martin Clark.

Chris ‘Sandman’ Sand is a cowboy from Dunn Center, North Dakota (population: 120 and shrinking). He drives a semi, plays the guitar and raps. Sandman looks like Woody Guthrie but writes songs like LL Cool J. Roll Out, Cowboy follows the thirty-nine-year-old country/hip-hop musician as he tours the American West, performing for rural towns who might not have heard live hip-hop before. Sandman’s story is the struggle of an artist trying to make a buck. In a tough economy, can his American dream still carry a tune?

The screening will be preceded by an exclusive teaser (5 mins) for Matt Hulse’s eagerly anticipated second feature Dummy Jim, an eccentric travelogue that explores the story of a profoundly deaf cyclist (James Duthie) who cycled solo from Scotland to the Arctic Circle in 1951. www.dummyjim.com
