Sound It Out
Jeanie Finlay • UK 2011 • 1h18m • Digital projection
12A – Contains infrequent strong language • Documentary
Tucked just off the high street in Stockton-on-Tees, Sound
It Out Records is one of the last surviving vinyl record
shops struggling to keep afloat in the face of recession
and changes in technology. A cultural haven in one of
the most deprived areas in the UK, this is a distinctive,
funny and intimate portrait of the North, its men and the
irreplaceable role music plays in our lives.
The Pool
Chris Smith • USA 2007 • 1h34m • Hindi with English subtitles
12A – Contains one use of strong language
Cast: Venkatesh Chavan, Jhangir Badshah, Nana Patekar, Ayesha
Mohan.
Venkatesh is a self-contained teenage boy who works in
a Goan hotel doing manual labour. As often as possible
Venkatesh climbs a mango tree to observe an overgrown
garden which surrounds a swimming pool, hidden behind
a fence. The occupants of the house, an older man and his
daughter, never swim in the pool, though the man sits in a
chair contemplating the cool water. As the film progresses
Venkatesh becomes enmeshed in the lives of the man and
his daughter and, as he slowly gains their trust, he learns
their secrets.
Tomboy
Céline Sciamma • France 2011 • 1h22m
French with English subtitles
U – Contains mild violence and occasional natural nudity
Cast: Zoé Héran, Malonn Lévana, Jeanne Disson, Sophie Cattani.
An achingly tender and sweetly funny coming-of-age
movie, Tomboy tells the story of ten year-old Laure, who
moves to a new Paris suburb with her family. It’s the
summer holidays, and all the local kids are running riot
around the neighbourhood. Boyish Laure, when first
meeting with the gang, introduces herself as Michael.
The other kids don’t even blink: Michael it is. And so the
summer fun begins, with Laure, now Michael, doing
everything she can to keep her new identity secret. But
as the holidays draw to an end, and the threat of school
looms, things start to get complicated.
