Introduction3FRENCH FILM FESTIVAL UK – THE FAIRY THE DEEP BLUE SEALES ENFANTS DU PARADIS THE AWAKENINGSometimes, I wish I didn’t work here...It might sound strange and more than a bit daft, but I find it quite difficult to watch films here. (Don’t get me wrong, it’s my favourite cinemain town by a very long piece of chalk, but the fact is I find it very difficult to just sit, relax, and not constantly worry about whether thecinema’s too hot, too cold, if it feels like there’s too many ads or trailers, or why the ushers aren’t asking that sweetie paper rustler whoonly began rustling two seconds ago to keep the noise down.) So much so, that when I came to see Tinker Tailor (again!) a couple of weeksago, I had, for a second or two, (and before I say this, I apologise to all my colleagues for an unforgivable, albeit momentary lapse ofloyalty...therirritating... people. (My tolerance of such things has diminished with age.) Thankfully, I realised how stupid I was being, came here, andwas rewarded with a screening that reminded me of EXACTLY what the cinema-going experience should be, and one we are keen to activelyencourage. Obviously, we did everything right (ahem), but the icing on the cake was the audience. From start to finish they were silent,you could have heard the proverbial pin drop. All screenings should be like this – unless it’s a comedy when people are allowed to laugh,occasionally, or a horror film where the odd gasp or even a scream is permissible!One film for which the odd gasp or scream might be acceptable is The Awakening, a cracking old-school British ghost story starringman-of-the-moment Dominic West and Rebecca Hall; The Deep Blue Sea is Terence Davies’ beautiful, Rachel Weisz-starring adaptationof Terence Rattigan’s play of the same name; Tabloid is Errol Morris’ hugely enjoyable ’perverse portraiture’ of tabloid sensation ‘theManacled Mthey’re still on, you need to see We Need to Talk About Kevin, The Ides of March and Miss Bala which all continue well into November.You’ve Been Trumped, the funny and inspiring doc that charts Donald Trump’s attempts to build a golf course and hotel on theAberdeenshire coast, returns after its sell-out screening at last month’s Take One Action Film Festival; DANCE:FILM 11 sees the return ofScotland’s biennial dance film festival; the 2011 edition of our annual French Film Festival coincides with the release of the glorious digitalrestoration of Marcel Carné’s sublime 19th century Parisian romance, Les Enfants du Paradis; and the 150th anniversary of the ItalianRisorgimento inspires a short season of films on that very subject.And, I’m pleased to report that The Great June/August Debate has come out in favour of keeping our big sister, the Edinburgh InternationalFilm Festival, in June. Good result I’d say... now get the dates – 20 June to 1 July 2012 – in your diaries!Rod White, Head of Filmhouse

Gaining access to many of the leaders of theBlack Power Movement – Stokely Carmichael, BobbySeale, Angela Davis and Eldridge Cleaver among them– the filmmakers captured them in intimate moments andremarkably unguarded interviews.Thirty years later, this footage was found languishing in thebasement of Swedish Television. Director Göran Olssonand co-producer Danny Glover bring this footage to lightin a mosaic of images, music and narration chronicling theevolution one of America’s most indelible turning points,the Black Power movement.Music by Questlove and Om’Mas Keith, and commentaryfrom prominent African- American artists and activists whowere influenced by the struggle – including Erykah Badu,Harry Belafonte, Talib Kweli, and Melvin Van Peebles –give the historical footage a fresh, contemporary resonanceand makes the film an exhilarating, unprecedented accountof an American revolution.LES ENFANTS DU PARADISRESTOREDCLASSICLes Enfants du ParadisFri 18 to Thu 24 NovMarcel Carné • France 1945 • 3h10mDigital projection • French with English subtitlesPG – Contains brief nudity and mild violenceCast: Arletty, Jean-Louis Barrault, Pierre Brasseur, Pierre Renoir,María Casares, Gaston Modot.Often featuring on all-time-best lists, Marcel Carné’sportrait of the Boulevard du Crime in the early 19th centuryis a sublime romance, miraculously made during the NaziOccupation.Charting the fortunes of various actors, aristocrats,aficionados and villains frequenting Paris’s theatrical district– many wooing the devil-may-care Garance (Arletty)– the rich, wonderfully engrossing tale of professional andpersonal rivalries, murky intrigue and unrequited passionexplores, to brilliantly witty effect, the crucial role playedby different kinds of performance in all aspects of everydaylife… but most especially in matters of the heart.Inspired by real events and colourful characters, thefilm is not merely a masterclass in great acting but abreathtaking achievement on every front, from the superbcinematography and sets to Carné’s deft elaboration of thesheer genius of Jacques Prévert’s script. All are enhancedin this glittering new digital restoration.BUFFALO ‘66Come and See...A monthly one-off screening of a great filmwe simply thought you might like to see,again or for the first time, on the big screen.Buffalo ‘66Mon 21 Nov at 8.30pmVincent Gallo • USA 1998 • 1h50m • 35mm • 15Cast: Vincent Gallo, Christina Ricci, Ben Gazzara, Anjelica Huston.Vincent Gallo’s directorial debut is one of a kind, aneccentric, provocative comedy which laces a poignantlove story with both a sombre, washed-out naturalism andsurreal musical vignettes.If not autobiographical, then at least deeply personal,the film follows one Billy Brown (Gallo) out of prison andback to his hometown, Buffalo, NY. There he kidnaps agirl, Layla (Christina Ricci) a busty blonde in two-inch skirtand dazzling fairytale slippers, and entreats her to playhis loving wife for his parents’ benefit. The homecominggoes a long way to explain Billy’s aggressive insecurity:his indifferent mom (Anjelica Huston) is a rabid footballobsessive, while his dad (Ben Gazzara) is taciturn andhostile, though taken with Layla. The cruel caricature ofthis sourly funny episode is tempered by Layla’s sweetness,and Billy’s turmoil is redeemed in her simplicity.Some may scoff at such blatant male wish-fulfilment, butwhen Billy finally opens himself to the threat of intimacy,it’s a heart-rending moment. A brave, honest, stimulatingfilm, this reaches parts other movies don’t even know exist.
