Trance (see p6) we asked you to tell us your<br />
favourite of his films. It was a very close contest,<br />
but Shallow Grave was the winner!<br />
Shallow Grave<br />
Sun 7 April, 20:15<br />
Danny Boyle’s debut feature Shallow Grave is a<br />
dark, hip, Generation X comedy about a trio of<br />
Edinburgh roommates whose narcissistic greed<br />
fuels murder and betrayal. Boisterous journalist Alex<br />
(Ewan McGregor), flirtatious doctor Juliet (Kerry Fox),<br />
and meek accountant David (Christopher Eccleston)<br />
are very different, but share a mutual, self-absorbed<br />
cynicism. Seeking a fourth flatmate, they cruelly<br />
dismiss several candidates before settling on Hugo<br />
(Keith Allen), whose air of detachment meets their<br />
standard of coolness. Hugo's reserve masks<br />
criminal involvement, as they discover when he’s<br />
found dead in bed with a suitcase containing<br />
enormous amounts of cash. Faced with a moral<br />
quandary over what to do with the body and the<br />
money, the group’s friendship is pushed to the limits.<br />

Babeldom<br />
Wed 10 – Fri 12 April<br />
Babeldom is a city so massive, growing at such a speed<br />
that soon, it is said, light itself will not escape its<br />
gravitational pull. How can two lovers communicate, one<br />
from inside the city and one from outside? In his debut<br />
feature film, award-winning British experimental animator<br />
and filmmaker Paul Bush presents an elegy to urban life.<br />
Against the backdrop of a city of the future, a portrait is<br />
assembled from film shot in modern cities all around the<br />
world and collected from the most recent research in<br />
science, technology and architecture.<br />

9 Intervals<br />
March – May 2013<br />
9 Intervals is a new multi-episode digital film work designed<br />
for the cinema auditorium by Dublin-based contemporary<br />
artist Aurelien Froment. The work takes the seated position<br />
of the cinema viewer as its starting point, meditating upon<br />
the relationship between design and body, viewer and<br />
image. Nine short episodes will be shown before a selected<br />
film each Monday, intervening in the conventional role<br />
played by the cinema spectator to ask “are you sitting<br />
comfortably?” Each week a new episode will appear<br />
between the trailers before specific films, with an omnibus<br />
screening of all nine parts on Mon 6 May at 18:00. For more<br />
details of individual screenings please check our website.<br />
