Every day, the Guardian Angel
Damiel listens to the thoughts of
mortals as their lives play out on
the streets of West Berlin. One day
he stumbles on, and becomes
entranced by, a trapeze artist
whose eloquent expression of
her doubts and fears make him
yearn for a life where he can feel
happiness and love.
Like Michael Powell's A MATTER
OF LIFE AND DEATH, the afterlife
in WINGS OF DESIRE is a world
in monochrome. Only the living
can see in full colour and it is
their lives, with their moments of
sorrow and joy, that Wim Wenders
captures so eloquently in this
singularly original and vital film.
Our Valentines film is always a
hard one to pick. Film history is
littered with great romantic tales.
WINGS OF DESIRE is a cinematic
love letter to the city of Berlin,
to the earthly pleasures of a
human existence and to the act
of yearning in itself. It reminds
us of the wondrous thrill of true
desire. For these reasons it is our
Valentines special of 2013 and
we hope you can join us.
In this programme two artists
return to two events that took
place in 1913, respectively a
visit by Marcel Duchamp to
Herne Bay in Kent and the Paris
première of Stravinsky and
Diaghilev's ballet The Rite of
Spring. Screening introduced by
Jeremy Millar.

depart from eponymous novels:

hold power over Paris; the Danish
film Atlantis is based on a 1912
novel by Gerhart Hauptmann
anticipating the Titanic disaster

Whilst undertaking a highlypublicised tour of Europe, a
cloistered and naive princess
decides to rebel against her
restrictive and regimented
schedule.
To celebrate the 150th
anniversary of the London
Underground, the BFI is releasing
its newly restored version of one
of the great British silent features
of the 1920s - Anthony Asquith’s
UNDERGROUND. With a new
score composed by Neil Brand
and performed by the BBC
Symphony Orchestra Asquith’s
subterranean tale of love,
jealousy, treachery and murder is
a real theatrical treat.
One night she escapes her
luxurious confinement and
stumbles upon an American
journalist stationed in Rome. As
she starts to enjoy her newfound
freedom and he realises the
potential of his newfound
companion the two embark on
a delightful escapade across the
beautiful streets of Rome.
Peck and Hepburn (in her
breakthrough role) make for
one of cinema's most charming
couples in this whimsical fantasy
with a bittersweet finale.
The story begins when two men,
the gentle Bill and brash Bert,
both meet and fall in love with
the beautiful Nell. Unfortunately
it’s Bill that catches Nell’s eye and
Bert doesn’t take the news well.

Thursday 17th Jan - 8.30pm

Kubrick's debut film has for
decades been nearly impossible
to see. At last it’s back, restored
and presented here with three
of his early shorts (DAY OF
FLIGHT, FLYING PADRE and THE
SEAFARERS).
FEAR AND DESIRE tells the story
of a war waged between two
forces. In the midst of the conflict,
a plane carrying four soldiers
crashes behind enemy lines.
From here out it is kill or be killed:
a female hostage is taken, an
enemy general and his aide are
discovered, and a perilous river
blocks their escape. So begins
Kubrick's precocious entry into
feature filmmaking.

Dir: Quentin Tarantino
Starring: Jamie Foxx, Christoph
Waltz, Leonardo DiCaprio,
Samuel L. Jackson
US 2012, Dur: TBC
Those familiar with Rushdie’s huge,
sprawling novel - which marries
the political conflicts of the Indian
subcontinent’s recent history with
childish fantasy and romantic
drama - will be happily surprised
that Deepa Mehta (WATER) has
successfully filmed the unfilmable.
After 2006’s HEART OF GOLD and
2009’s TRUNK SHOW, for their third
outing together Demme follows
legendary singer-songwriter
Young to the small Canadian
township of Omemee, where
Young grew up, and then on
to a solo concert at Toronto’s
iconic Massey Hall.Young ruefully
acknowledges that much has
changed in Omemee since his
teens - but no matter, because
“it’s still in my head.”
Set in the South two years
before the Civil War, DJANGO
UNCHAINED stars Jamie Foxx as
Django, a slave whose brutal
history with his former owners
lands him face-to-face with
bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz.
Schultz is on the trail of the
murderous Brittle brothers, and
only Django can lead him to his
bounty. The unorthodox Schultz
acquires Django with a promise
to free him upon the capture
of the Brittles - dead or alive.
Success leads Schultz to free
Django, though the two men
choose not to go their separate
ways. Instead, Schultz seeks
out the South’s most wanted
criminals with Django by his side.
The well-bred Shiva and Saleem,
a beggar’s child, are swopped
at birth by a politically motivated
but naive nurse; the plot
follows the two boys’ separate
but overlapping destinies,
complicated by Saleem’s
telepathic powers. In Metha’s
hands MIDNIGHT’S CHILDREN is a
feast for the eyes told in a pareddown storytelling style which gives
the tale an uplifting coherence.

Dir: Ben Lewin
Starring: John Hawkes,
Helen Hunt, William H. Macy
US 2012, 95mins
With the twenty-first century
comes a new breed of
struggling independent artist:
the indie game designer.
Refusing to toil for major
developers, these innovators
independently conceive, design,
and program their distinctly
personal games in the hope
that they too may find success.
Based on the poignantly
optimistic autobiographical
writings of California-based
journalist and poet Mark O’Brien,
THE SESSIONS tells the story of a
man (played brilliant by John
Hawkes of WINTER’S BONE) who
spends most of his time in an
iron lung and - at age 38 - is
determined to lose his virginity.
With the help of his therapists
and the guidance of his priest,
he sets out to make his dream
a reality. An unlikely subject for
a film perhaps but THE SESSIONS
provides fascinating insights
into the mind of a man unable
to translate his emotions into
physical responses.
First-time filmmaking duo Lisanne
Pajot and James Swirsky capture
the emotional journey of these
meticulously obsessive artists
who devote their lives to their
interactive art. Four developers,
three games, and one ultimate
goal— to express oneself
through a video game.

BE 2011, 124mins
Dutch and French with English

Completed before his breakout
success as the morally
ambiguous drifter in RUST AND
BONE, Schoenaerts’ performance
in this movie emphatically proves
that that was no one-off with his
portrayal of a young cattle farmer
who makes a Faustian pact with
the underground meat trade.
Writer-director Roskam’s debut
feature is an assured, deftly
paced piece which begins as a
murky if relatively straightforward
thriller, shifts up a gear to become
an essay in angst-ridden selfrecrimination, and finally climaxes
with a meditation on the grip of
past behaviour on present fate.

FI/NO/SE 2012, 85mins
Finnish with English subtitles
WHAT IS THIS FILM CALLED
LOVE? is a passionate, poetic
documentary about the nature
of happiness. Filmed in Mexico
over three days for just £10, it
begins as a film about the Soviet
director Sergei Eisenstein, and
then, using his ideas, opens up to
look at memory, landscape and
the pleasures of walking.
THE PUNK SYNDROME is a film
about Finland’s most kick ass
punk rock band, Pertti Kurikan
Nimipäivät.The band’s four
members, Pertti, Kari,Toni and
Sami, each have learning
difficulties.They play their music
with a lot of attitude and pride.
Kärkkäinen and Passi’s insightful
documentary follows these four
musicians on their journey from
obscurity to popularity. We see
them fight, fall in love and witness
long days in the recording studio
and on tour. It’s a film about the
essence of punk - it’s a story
about rebellion against the norm.
It is a personal film which aspires
to be very cinematic, using three
visual dream sequences, and
the music of PJ Harvey, Simon
Fisher Turner, Johnny Cash and
Bernard Hermann to explore
notions such as where joy comes
from, the emotions involved with
travel and homecoming, and
the nature of solitude.

Distinctively shot on oldfashioned three-strip video to

It explores the final days of
the Pinochet regime through
the eyes of two competing
television companies
canvassing for the ‘Yes’ and ‘No’
campaigns respectively in the
crucial referendum that toppled
the dictator. NO is a riveting

Yoshikazu Ono
US 2011, 81mins
Japanese with English Subtitles
85 year-old Jiro Ono is widely
praised as the world’s greatest
sushi chef. His tiny restaurant,
Sukiyabashi Jiro, is tucked away
in a Tokyo subway station and
only seats ten, yet bears three
Michelin stars and has a monthlong reservation waiting list. Jiro
runs this culinary gem with a will
of iron, deft fingers and his eldest
son Yoshikazu. Their fascinating
relationship lies at the heart
of this tale, as the apprentice
struggles with the sometimes
overbearing aura of the master.
David Gelb’s feature film debut
nimbly explores every facet
of Jiro’s daily life, making our
mouths water along the way.

For over 40 years, America’s “War
on Drugs” has accounted for 45
million arrests, made America
the world’s largest jailer, and
damaged poor communities at
home and abroad. Yet for all that,
drugs in America are cheaper,
purer, and more available today
than ever. Filmed in more than
twenty U.S. states, THE HOUSE I
LIVE IN captures heart-wrenching
stories at all levels of America’s
drug war and asks the urgent
questions: What caused the war?
What perpetuates it? And what
can be done to stop it?
India Stoker was not prepared to
lose her father and best friend
Richard in a tragic car accident.
The solitude of her woodsy
family estate, the peace of her
tranquil town, and the unspoken
somberness of her home life are
suddenly upended by not only
this mysterious accident, but by
the sudden arrival of her Uncle
Charlie, whom she never knew
existed. When Charlie moves in
with her and her emotionally
unstable mother India comes
to suspect that this mysterious,
charming man has ulterior
motives.Yet instead of feeling
outrage or horror, this friendless
young woman becomes
increasingly infatuated with him.
“A must-see documentary that
combines hard facts and
emotion."

The Bruce Lacey
Experience
Tuesday 05th Mar - 6.30pm
Dirs: Nicholas Abrahams,
Jeremy Deller
Documentary feat: Bruce Lacey,
Kevin Lacey
UK 2012, 72mins
The production of THE BRUCE
LACEY EXPERIENCE was
embarked upon by Turner
Prize winner Jeremy Deller and
his regular collaborator Nick
Abrahams in an attempt to
document the magnificence of
one of Britain’s most interesting,
un-categorisable and productive
artists, Bruce Lacey.
In their own mind they failed. As
soon as they started they realised
he was an impossible man to
immortalise in such a way as he
was quite simply bigger than any
film could ever be. Nevertheless
they had a darn good try and
the result is a wonderful glimpse
into the world of a true original.
