Jimmy’s Hall
Based on the true story of Jimmy Gralton, and the dance hall he openedin rural Leitrim at a time when Ireland was on the brink of Civil War. Itwas a place where young people could come to learn, to argue, and todream, but above all to dance and have fun. Jimmy quickly came to theattention of the Church and politicians and they forced him to close thehall.Returning from the U.S. a decade later, Jimmy vows to live the quietlife. However, as he reintegrates into the community and sees thepoverty, boredom, and growing cultural oppression, he decides toreopen the abandoned and empty hall, regardless of the opposition and consequences.
Harvey
Elwood P. Dowd (James Stewart) is a wealthy drunk who starts havingvisions of a giant rabbit named Harvey. Elwood lives with his sister Veta(Josephine Hull) and her daughter (Victoria Horne), and Veta worriesthat Elwood has gone insane. In the process of trying to have himcommitted, Veta admits that she occasionally sees Harvey herself. Thedirector of the mental home, Dr. Chumley (Cecil Kellaway), tries toreconcile his duty to help Elwood with his own growing experienceswith Harvey. Mary Chase’s Pulitzer Prize play loses little of its whimsicalcomedy charm in this screen translation starring James Stewart, Josephine Hull and Jesse White.

The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out The Window And Disappeared
Wednesday 11 March Time: 8pmSweden, 2013, Swedish, 114 min, 15A, Dir: Felix Herngren
Allan Karlsson blows up the fox who killed his cat by hiding sticks ofdynamite inside a pack of sausages. Like much of the humour of this film,it is broad verging on slapstick, but delivered with such deadpan panachethat it’s irresistible. Based on the Swedish bestseller by Jonas Jonasson, it follows the many misadventures pastand present of a man who, a little like Forrest Gump, succeeds in life despite evident drawbacks. A whirlwind comedy of absurdist humour, zany happenstance and good old slapstick – Rotten Tomatoes
VioletteWednesday 18 March Time: 8pm
France/Belgium, 2013, French, 139 min, 15A, Dir: Martin ProvostThe trailblazing feminist writer Violette Leduc gets a biopic worthy of hercomplex life with Violette. Director Martin Provost (‘Seraphine’) once again castshis sharp yet sympathetic gaze on an uncompromising woman artist, and oncemore he has crafted a plum role that allows a gifted actress (EmmanuelleDevos) to show the full range of her abilities. Provost hones in on the events inLeduc’s life that most affected her writing‚ and vice-versa, in six elegant chapters. Emmanuelle Devos triumphs in this sharply observed yet sympathetic biopicof a trailblazing feminist author - Variety
Human Capital Wednesday 22 April Time: 8pm
Italy, 2014, Italian, 110 min, CLUB, Dir: Paolo Virzi‘Human Capital’ gives the tired trope of cutting between overlappingstories a welcome shot of adrenaline, using it not just to compare andcontrast tangentially related stories, but to show how people caught upin their private dramas can overlook or misinterpret the people aroundthem—especially those who have less power, whether because of theirgender, their class, their age, or some combination of the three. The film is extremely well written and intricately constructed, with fineperformances – Rotten Tomatoes

www.thesourceartscentre.ie
Two Days, One NightWednesday 13 May Time: 8pm
Belgium, 2014, French, 95 min, CLUB, Dir: Jean-Pierre & Luc DardenneA tense dramatic situation and a subtly magnificent central performance fromMarion Cotillard add up to an outstanding new film from the Dardenne brothers:impassioned, exciting and moving – a Twelve Angry Men of the 21st-centuryworkplace. Cotillard plays Sandra, a married woman with children who returns towork at a solar panel factory after a breakdown, only to find that the managementhave effectively made her the sacrificial victim to the rest of the staff. It’s a rare film of unforced simplicity that will stick with you for a long time - Empire
Finding Vivian MaierWednesday 20 May Time: 8pm
USA, 2013, English, 83 min, 12A, Dir: John Maloof, Charlie SiskelThe incredible artistry of nanny and closet street photographer Vivian Maiercame to light and went viral in 2007 when John Maloof discovered 100,000 ofher negatives in Chicago. Maloof and Charlie Siskel bring this formerly unknownartist’s gorgeous black-and-white photos and remarkable life story to the bigscreen. She was a mystery even to those who knew her. A secretive nanny inthe wealthy suburbs of Chicago, Vivian died in 2009 and would have beenforgotten but is now hailed as one of the greatest 20th-century photographers.Tantalising and utterly fascinating - Rotten Tomatoes
Stations of the CrossWednesday 03 June Time: 8pm
Germany, 2014, German, 110min, 15A, Dir: Dietrich BrüggemannA 14-year-old girl’s commitment to the extreme tenets of a conservativeRoman Catholic sect is traced with a mix of compassion and irony in a film likelyto rile the faithful and the faithless alike. Dedicated to self-denial, young Maria istormented by the scrutiny of her fanatically observant mother and disconcerted byher feelings for a boy whose appetite for music has not stopped at Bach cantatas.
Surprise Film Wednesday 10 June Time: 8pm
20,000 Days On EarthWednesday 29 April Time: 8pm
UK, 2013, English, 97 min, 15A, Dir: Iain Forsyth, Jane Pollard Nick Cave has long been one of the most fascinating and enigmaticfigures in the music and film world. ‘20,000 Days on Earth’ enhances hismystique. This innovative drama/documentary features Cave as bothsubject and co-conspirator, intimately documenting his artistic processand combining it with a fictional staged narrative of his 20,000th day onEarth. As a result, the film also explores the creative spirit.
