As the evenings draw in and our access to daylight becomes more limited, there’s no better time to come into a cozy cinema and betransported by great cinematic storytelling. We’dbe lying if we didn’t admit that Denis Villeneuve’shighly anticipated Blade Runner 2049 has been a big part of the reason why the cinema teamhas been wishing the summer away.

All joking aside, we truly love this time of year. Notjust because of the quality new releases on offer,but because it signals the return of Discovery FilmFestival, Scotland’s international film festival foryoung audiences.

Mother! Fri 29 September – Thu 5 October

After storming to the forefront of American independent filmmaking with his second feature,the dark and complex Requiem for a Dream, Darren Aronofsky has spent the first part of thiscentury cementing his status as one of moderncinema’s most ambitious auteurs. His films, often dealing with volatile themes such as drugaddiction, self-loathing and sanity, are revered fortheir controversial and unique content. His latest thriller, Mother!, is sure to evoke equal measuresof cinematic bliss and near-unbearable tension.

Starring Oscar winners Jennifer Lawrence andJavier Bardem, the film is described as a psychological horror-thriller about a couple whoserelationship is tested by the arrival of uninvitedhouse guests. Although little more is known about Mother! early reactions from advancescreenings indicate that Aronofsky has made the most extreme movie of his career. Given thecast, which also includes Michelle Pfeiffer, Ed Harris, Kristen Wiig and Stephen McHattie, andAronofsky’s undeniable talent, we can't wait totake our seats in the cinema and find out more.

Wind River Fri 29 September – Thu 5 October

Taylor Sheridan, the screenwriter behind both Sicario and Hellor High Water, steps behind the camera for the first time to direct his own work, Wind River, a tense thriller about a murder on a Native American reservation.

The film opens in the snowy landscape of Wyoming, as ayoung woman desperately runs for her life. Her body willeventually be discovered by Cory Lambert (Jeremy Renner), a tracker who hunts down predators for the local wildlife department. He recognises her immediately as an 18-year-old Native American girl called Natalie, from Wind River, thenearby reservation. When FBI officer Jane Banner (ElizabethOlsen) arrives from Las Vegas to take over the investigation,she understands pretty quickly that this is unfamiliar terrainand calls on Cory for help. His assistance proves invaluable,but it comes with a price, as Cory must overcome his owndark ties to the community to help bring Natalie’s killer to justice.

Criticisms levelled at Sicario for its treatment of female characters could also apply here, but Sheridan has unapologetically made a film from the male perspective. Shot on location in Utah, Wind River makes the most of therugged landscape to capture a place where frontier life can be beautiful but also isolated, painful and full of secrets. And with music from Nick Cave and Warren Ellis on thesoundtrack, the sense of alienation is almost palpable.

Borg vs McEnroe Fri 29 September – Thu 5 October

Selected as the opening film for this year’s Toronto Film Festival,Borg vs McEnroe tells the story of the epic rivalry between twotennis legends: Björn Borg and his nemesis Jon McEnroe.

In terms of temperament and playing style, the two playerscould not have been more different. Borg (Sverrir Gudnason)was the embodiment of cool, precise in his technique and controlled in his emotions. Already a champion at 24 years old,the Swedish tennis star seemed to have it all. But behind hisserene public persona was a man who suffered terrible anxiety.In contrast, brash New Yorker McEnroe (Shia LaBeouf) wasfiery and unpredictable, and the public loved to hate his oncourt antics. But he too was plagued with crippling self-doubt,and these star players had one other thing in common: theywere both driven to be the best whatever the cost.

Following Borg and McEnroe in their preparations for the 1980Wimbledon Championship and the media frenzy surroundingthem, Borg vs McEnroe not only depicts one of the sport’sgreatest rivalries but also the immense personal pressure bothplayers were under to achieve success. As tense and thrilling as the famous match at its heart, this film serves up ace entertainment on a grand scale.

IT Fri 29 September – Mon 2 October

2017 has been a bumper year for Stephen Kingadaptations, but none has been more anticipatedthan the first instalment of Andy Muschietti’s two-part adaptation of IT. One of King’s best-loved books, IT is the sprawling tale of The LosersClub, a group of outsider children who must battlean ancient evil beneath the town of Derry.

The 1990 TV adaptation gave a generation nightmares through Tim Curry’s legendary depiction of Pennywise the clown, and Muschiettialso keeps Pennywise at the forefront, hereplayed by Bill Skarsgård. His incarnation is a murderous monster with none of the playfulwhimsy of Curry, and encapsulates the differencebetween Muschietti’s vision and the mini-series.Freed from the restraints of network TV, this newIT is emphatically terrifying.

But while IT is successfully scary, the real triumphof the film is how it captures King’s charactersand their world. With the 1950s setting of King'sstory updated to the 1980s, The Losers Club isbrought to life by a talented young cast who actand talk like King’s kids, and the pleasure of thefilm lies in getting to know this cheeky, funny and engaging bunch. Filmed with panache byMuschietti and beautifully photographed byChung-Hoon Chung, this is the best King horrorfilm since The Mist, and the finest depiction ofKing’s vision of childhood since Stand by Me.After a decade of disappointments, the StephenKing film is back with a vengeance.

Daphne Fri 6 – Thu 12 October

Daphne is the feature directorial debut of Scottishfilmmaker Peter Mackie Burns, whose short film Milk won the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2005. Set in presentday London, this comedy-drama follows youngsingleton Daphne (Emily Beecham) as she navigates a hectic lifestyle, juggling an unfulfillingrestaurant job with a vigorous and sometimes debauched nightlife. After turning 30, Daphne finds herself stuck in a rut, and looks to boisterousfriends, one-time lovers and random strangers toprovide a welcome diversion from the growingfeeling that she is too young to settle down, yet tooold to mess about. But one night, after witnessinga random act of violence, Daphne’s life is throwninto chaos and she starts to reflect on the directionher life is going in.

Burns’ vivid and charming film showcases his talent for drawing out humour from serious situations, and is the perfect vehicle for rising star Beecham; the film’s combination of dramaticscenarios and comic mayhem allow her to flexher acting muscles. Nico Mesinga’s script is lacedwith sparkling one-liners, and with an excellentsupporting cast, which includes Geraldine Jamesand Tom Vaughan-Lawlor, Daphne is a great calling card for all involved.

Goodbye Christopher Robin Fri 13 – Thu 19 October

Goodbye Christopher Robin, directed with a steady hand bySimon Curtis (Woman in Gold), draws its inspiration from thecomplicated origins of A.A. Milne’s most famous character: Winnie the Pooh.

Deeply troubled after his experiences fighting in the first WorldWar, Milne (Domhnall Gleeson) struggles to readjust to his former life with his free-spirited wife Daphne (Margot Robbie)and young son Christopher (Will Tilston), who goes by the nickname Billy Moon. A move to the idyllic countryside offersMilne some respite from his demons, but proves all too quiet for the exuberant Daphne, who frequently decamps to London.Billy is left mostly in the care of doting nanny Olive (Kelly Macdonald), whom he adores. But when Olive is called away, father and son are left to fend for themselves, and find unexpected delight in each other’s company. As they explorethe local woods they make up stories about Billy’s stuffed animals: the adventures of Winnie the Pooh, his friends and theHundred Acre Wood are born. When Billy innocently tells his father “I’d really like if you wrote a book for me. I’d definitely read it”, little does he know that the overwhelming success and fame that follow will come at a heavy price for the realChristopher Robin.

Written by Frank Cottrell Boyce, Goodbye Christopher Robin isan insightful and often poignant portrait of both Milne and hisson, which doesn’t shy away from the darker undertones thatunderpinned the creation of the lovable Pooh, or the impact hispopularity had on the Milne family.

Blade Runner 2049 Fri 6 – Thu 19 October

In 1982, following his success with Alien, Sir Ridley Scott’s next project Blade Runner received mixed critical reviewsupon release and performed middlingly at the box office. Four decades later, that film is considered to be a classic andis now set to produce one of the most highly anticipated sequels ever.

Truly great works of cinematic science fiction should, behind all their visual flair and aesthetic wonder, focus on one simple thing: the human condition. Like its predecessor, Blade Runner 2049 seems set to do justthat. A cyber-punk neo-noir, the story revolves around Blade Runner Officer K (Ryan Gosling) as he uncovers a plotwhich could throw the remnants of civilization into chaos. To aid him in his efforts, K seeks out a former Blade Runnerwho disappeared nearly 30 years earlier: Deckard (Harrison Ford). Together they attempt to unravel the mystery behindthe enigmatic Niander Wallace (Jared Leto) and his plans for an army of replicants.

Canadian director Denis Villeneuve (Prisoners, Enemy, Sicario, Arrival) is a master storyteller and an inspired choice tohelm this project. With Ridley Scott on board as executive producer and an excellent supporting cast which includesRobin Wright and Edward James Olmos, Blade Runner 2049 promises to be a spectacular, unmissable film event.

The Glass Castle Fri 20 – Thu 26 October

Before winning an Oscar for her performance inRoom, Brie Larson was already a familiar face tosome DCA audience members for her role in Destin Daniel Cretton’s indie film Short Term 12,which we screened back in 2013. Larson reunites with Cretton for The Glass Castle, based on Jeannette Walls’ best-selling memoir about herown dysfunctional family upbringing.

When we first meet Jeannette (Larson) she is asuccessful journalist, preparing for her wedding toher financial advisor boyfriend (Max Greenfield)and embracing life in New York’s high society. Her confident and glamorous exterior are about as far away from her troubled 1970s childhood asyou can get. But when she discovers her parentsliving homeless on the streets of New York, Jeannette is forced to face some difficult truthsabout her family. While her eccentric father Rex(Woody Harrelson) and bohemian mother RoseMary (Naomi Watts) have always maintained thattheir tough love approach to parenting was in theirchildren’s best interests, Jeannette and her siblingsremember their years living off the grid very differently.

The Glass Castle doesn’t shy away from exploringJeanette’s complex, occasionally cruel and atother times very loving family structure. Both thepositives and negatives of this unique upbringingare on full display, with Harrelson giving a performance that is both endearing and infuriatingin equal measure. And Larson, as a woman whocomes to understand if not accept her unusualbackground, is as solid as ever.

The Party Fri 20 – Thu 26 October

Sally Potter (Orlando) is definitely not a name normally associated with fast-paced, knockabout comedy, but she is a director who continues to surprise us, and we love her all the more for it. The Party, a biting, satirical chamber piece with an ensemble cast to die for, is her latest venture.

Janet (Kristin Scott Thomas) has just been appointed ShadowMinister for Health. As she prepares to celebrate with her nearest and dearest, her husband Bill (Timothy Spall) is clearlypreoccupied, paying more attention to his drink and his recordcollection than the proceedings. The first guests to arrive arethe acerbic April (Patricia Clarkson) and her partner Gottfried(Bruno Gantz), an alternative aromatherapist. They are joinedby old friend Martha (Cherry Jones), Martha’s younger girlfriend Jinny (Emily Mortimer) and then Tom (Cillian Murphy),a brash banker who is married to Marianne, the only guestwho is yet to arrive. As the evening progresses, it transpiresthat Janet’s newfound success isn’t the only change for thegroup, and by the time the night is over their cosy bourgeoisrealities will never be the same.

Shot in grainy black and white and set entirely in a London flat,The Party is a whirlwind of brilliant one liners whose humourunderlines a definite streak of darkness. Working with asoundtrack that should be played at any gathering, and tour-de-force performances from each of the actors, Potterkeeps everyone on a firm trajectory, right up to the film’s finalgasp-inducing moment.

The Mountain Between Us Fri 20 – Thu 26 October

Adapted from the novel by Charles Martin, The Mountain Between Us is a gripping tale of survival, as two strangersbrought together by extreme circumstances must learn to rely on each other for their very lives. Despite its big budgetand big stars, we are most excited by the fact that this is the English-language debut of the great Palestinian filmmakerHany Abu-Assad, whose previous films (Paradise Now, Omar, The Idol) have all shown at DCA.

Photojournalist Alex Martin (Kate Winslet) and doctor BenBass (Idris Elba) have never met before, but they have atleast one thing in common: both need to get back to Baltimore. She's getting married the next day and he’s due to perform a vital emergency surgery. So when their flight outof Denver is cancelled, they join forces to hire a charter plane and continue on their journey. But once they're in the air,things go tragically wrong. Stranded atop a snow-covered mountain with paltry provisions and no hope of rescue, Alex and Ben must work together if they are to get out alive.

Winslet is superb as the no-nonsense Alex while Elba shows a great combination of vulnerability and strength. Watching these two characters learn to trust each other is just one of the great joys of this terrific pairing. Shot entirelyin the majestic wilderness of Western Canada, the film starkly contrasts the terrifying beauty of the landscape with thefrailty of the pair struggling to endure it.

The Death of Stalin Fri 27 October – Thu 9 November

Scotland’s own Armando Iannucci (The Thick of It, In the Loop, Veep) makes a welcome return to the big screen with his latest satire, an acerbic send-up of the Supreme Soviet Leader and his band of not too merry men. With an ensemble cast who all seem to be having the time of their lives and a witty script which moves along at a crackingpace, The Death of Stalin is pure, pitch black fun.

At the height of his powers in 1953, Joseph Stalin (Adrian McLoughlin)is in fine fettle, ruling the country with an iron fist. But when the dictatorsuddenly dies from a stroke, his cronies go into an absolute panic, all jostling for power and position. After years of cowering behind thegreat man, each member of the top brass is convinced he should take the reins, but who will ultimately succeed? WithMalenkov (Jeffrey Tambor), wiseguy Khrushchev (Steve Buscemi), bewildered Molotov (Michael Palin), thuggish Zhukov(Jason Isaacs) and the depraved Beria (Simon Russell Beale) in contention, the end result is anyone’s guess. Throw in Stalin's drunken son Vasily (Rupert Friend) and jaded daughter Svetlana (Andrea Riseborough) and Iannucci’s wonderfully surreal universe is complete.

With President Trump’s endless problems with his own staff in our newspapers every day, Iannucci’s particular brandof black humour (blending shades of the Marx brothers with Ernst Lubitsch) casts an uneasy light on contemporaryevents. All hail Armando!

The Snowman Fri 27 October – Thu 2 November

The long awaited big screen adaptation of Norwegian novelistJo Nesbø’s crime novel The Snowman has had many bignames attached to it, including Martin Scorsese, who comfortingly still retains an executive producer credit. But wethink the material has landed in the right hands with directorTomas Alfredson, the Swedish genius behind the atmosphericLet the Right One In and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.

Michael Fassbender is the idiosyncratic Oslo detective HarryHole, the elite maverick heading the investigation into a disappearance on the first snow of winter. The timing of thecase raises the possibility that a notorious but mysterious murderer has returned, a killer known for leaving a trail of verycreepy snowmen. With the help of brilliant new recruit Katrine(Rebecca Ferguson), Hole and his team must try to connect the dots before this unthinkable evil strikes again.

Shot on location in Oslo, and with an ensemble cast that includes Charlotte Gainsbourg, J.K. Simmons and Toby Jonesalongside a soundtrack composed by Radiohead’s JonnyGreenwood, we are confident that The Snowman will be wellworth your wait.

I Am Not a Witch Fri 3 – Thu 9 November

This arresting first feature from Zambian-born,Wales-raised Rungano Nyoni is unlike any Britishfilm you might have seen before and marks theexciting debut of a new voice in contemporaryfilmmaking. Exploring the fine line between tradition and superstition, folklore and exploitation,I Am Not a Witch defies categorisation.

The story begins as 9-year-old Shula (an assuredMargaret Mulubwa), an outsider to her Zambianvillage, startles a woman walking home, inadvertently causing her to drop the bucket ofwater she is carrying. Feeling responsible, Shuladutifully refills the bucket and leaves it on the step of the woman’s hut. But the village eldersnevertheless turn on Shula and denounce her as a witch. Taken away by Mr Banda (Henri Phiri)to a travelling witch camp, the little girl soon begins to believe what is being said about her. Although she encounters some kindness amongstthe older women, Shula is also subjected to greatcruelty, and is exploited for profit by those inpower in the community.

Shot in and around Zambia’s capital city Lusaka,the film is a striking visual combination of realismand fantasy. While the script has a sombre story to tell, there are also moments of humour, delivered in deadpan style by the mostly non-professional cast. But at its heart is a fierce littlegirl desperately trying to find a connection withthose around her and survive.

Call Me by Your Name Fri 3 – Thu 9 November

Adapted from André Aciman’s novel by Italian filmmaker Luca Guadagnino, Call Me by Your Name is a sensual, heartbreaking depiction of first love and all the joy and pain that is undeniably part of the experience. Centred around a beautiful and touching central performance by young actor Timothée Chalamet, this film lingers in your mind andsoul, like all great loves that get away.

Guadagnino (I Am Love, A Bigger Splash) is particularly gifted atcreating an authentic setting for his films, in this case a summerhouse in northern Italy, where an American professor of antiquitiesand his family decamp every summer. Precocious, intelligent,multi-lingual, wise-beyond-his-years 17-year-old Elio (Chalamet) spends his days transcribing complicated classicalpiano pieces and hanging out with the other local teens. When his father’s new research assistant Oliver (a superbArmie Hammer) arrives for a six-week internship, Elio is both infuriated and intrigued by the stranger’s easy but distantbehaviour. Eventually the two make a connection, and when they do, it isn’t a passing infatuation but an earth-shatteringrelationship which will change both of their lives forever.

All the pain, ecstasy and confusion of falling in love is tangible on screen, as is the chemistry between Chalamet andHammer. This is no John Hughes coming of age film though; Call Me by Your Name is decidedly more intellectual, afilm where family dinner conversation revolves around art, literature, poetry, history and linguistics. There is somethingdeeply evocative about the 1980s setting, pulsating with Psychedelic Furs tunes and bad fashions; it feels very familiar, like that European summer holiday from days long past which will stay with you forever.

Breathe Fri 3 – Thu 16 November

Actor Andy Serkis, best known for his incredible performanceas Gollum from Lord of the Rings, hangs up his motion-capturesuit for his directorial debut Breathe. Based on the real lives ofRobin and Diana Cavendish, this is the inspiring story of an intrepid couple who refused to give up their dreams despitedevastating illness.

As they begin their married life together, things can’t get muchsweeter for Robin (Andrew Garfield) and Diana (The Crown’sClaire Foy). But on their honeymoon, they are given two life altering pieces of news: Diana is pregnant with their first child,and Robin, just 28 years old, has been diagnosed with rapid-onset polio. Advised he will soon be paralysed from the neck down, reliant on a respirator and in a hospital ward for the rest of his life, Robin feels his life is over. But in truth, it is just beginning. The couple begin an extraordinary mission toensure Robin can continue to live at home, travel abroad andexperience as much of the world as any able-bodied person.Robin’s determination spurred on the development of respiratorwheelchairs and hydraulic lifts and changed the lives of disabled people everywhere.

Garfield, an actor who always brings a real vulnerability to hisperformances, is perfectly cast as the warm and witty Robin,while Foy is radiantly natural as the rock who anchors this family’s journey. And Serkis, who clearly knows a thing or twoabout tapping into both the physical and emotional side of storytelling, has chosen the perfect project with which to launchhis filmmaking career.

The King of Comedy Thu 2 November, 19:00

Nobody quite knew how to take The King of Comedywhen it was released in 1982. Fans of Martin Scorseseand Robert De Niro were expecting another Taxi Driveror Raging Bull. What they got instead was a film thatpaired De Niro with Jerry Lewis! The film focuses on Rupert Pupkin, an autograph hound and inept stand-up comedian who will do anything, including stalking andkidnapping a popular talk show host, to become famous.

Thirty-five years ago many critics complained that thefilm wasn’t very funny. They clearly missed the main joke:The King of Comedy isn’t a comedy, it’s a frontal assaulton the cult of celebrity and modern American culture in general. De Niro’s Pupkin is even more unstable thanTravis Bickle, and Lewis' talk show host is a merciless,monstrous self-parody. This is Scorsese’s most uncomfortable, ruthless and savage film. It’s also his best.

Belle de Jour Sat 30 September, 15:30

On its release 50 years ago Belle de Jour caused an instant sensation. The film, which tells the story of abored Parisian housewife (played by a luminous Catherine Deneuve) who spends her afternoons workingas a high-class prostitute, was both celebrated and attacked for its sexual frankness.

A lot has changed in five decades however, and some aspects of the film now seem positively chaste. But Bellede Jour was never intended to titillate. Director LuisBuñuel, cinema’s foremost surrealist, composed a hymnto dreams and imagination, where every transgression is permissible. Indeed, the protagonist’s double life may benothing more than a healthy fantasy. This is one of themost subversive and liberating films ever made, and oneof the unimpeachable masterworks of world cinema.Come and see it in a stunning anniversary restoration.

Hotel Salvation Sun 1 – Thu 5 October

Hotel Salvation is a charming, gently humorous and life-affirming drama set in contemporary India. Rajiv, an over-worked, middle-aged son, is forced to accompany his 77-year-old father, Daya, who is seeking salvation inthe holy city of Varanasi. The film marks the debut of Shubhashish Bhutiani, one of an exciting new wave of youngIndian filmmakers.

Hotel Salvation won the UNESCO award at the Venice Film Festival, the Critics Award at Vesoul International Film Festival of Asian Cinema and Best Film at the New York Indian Film Festival. The film is now a strong contender to beIndia’s Academy Awards entry in 2018. While rooted in Indian values and culture, Hotel Salvation transcends borderswith its themes of family ties, revelations and finding peace and contentment during the later stages of life.

Hotel Salvation will be preceded by Panorama of Calcutta from the River Ganges, a one minute early archive short filmof Varanasi from 1899, the world’s earliest surviving footage of India, courtesy of the BFI National Archive.

Shane Sun 15 October, 13:00

Shane, George Stevens’ western in which a mysteriousstranger comes to the aid of family in peril, has been imitated countless times (most recently in Drive andLogan), but has never been equalled. The key to thefilm’s brilliance, aside from the uniformly excellent performances, script and direction, is the complexity of the storytelling.

See Shane when you are young and it’s a stirring adventure told from a boy’s point of view. See it whenyou are older and it becomes a film about the loss ofchildhood innocence. See it later still and it becomessomething far more wistful and mature. Through thesensitive handling of the triangle that forms between the titular gunfighter (Alan Ladd), the farmer (Van Heflin)and his wife (Jean Arthur, in her final film), Shane offers a poetic, touching meditation on life’s responsibilities, regrets, and missed opportunities. This is a masterpiecethat grows with you.

The Lego Ninjago Movie Sat 7 – Sat 21 October

Following on from The Lego Movie (in which everything was awesome) and then The Lego Batman Movie (in whichBatman learned to lighten up), we now have this latest offering from the brightly-coloured plastic brick franchise: TheLego Ninjago Movie. Exploring the world of rooftile-scattering, bamboo-bending ninjas and gigantic transformationalrobots, and reworking traditional tales of heroes and losers, good guys and bad parenting, this is entertainment for allages.

In a faraway land, threatened by darkness, the forces of good are once again determined to stand up to the bad guys.Six young ninjas are tasked with the defence of Ninjago, their island home. Led by Master Wu, their wisecracking spiri-tual master, they use mind and body in the fight against gangs of villains and monsters during the hours of darkness.During daylight hours? They have to use similar skills to navigate the troubled waters of an average day at high school.It’s a tough life. But Lloyd, aka the Green Ninja, has the added problem that the evil warlord Garmadon, aka The WorstGuy Ever, just happens to be his dad... woah! Bummer.

Who better than the ultimate wisecracking street warrior Mr Jackie Chan to voice Master Wu? And, in a film which hasmuch to say about the potential perils of family ties, the cast features Dave Franco (brother of James) as Lloyd andJustin Theroux (cousin of Louis) as his estranged – and somewhat belligerent - dad Garmadon. But as one of his fellowninjas points out: “Hey, it’s OK, Lloyd. Nobody’s parents are perfect...” Which is the basis of a perfect family holidayfilm, surely?

Dr Jekyll and Sister Hyde Sat 28 October, 19:35

In Victorian London, young Dr Henry Jekyll attempts to create an elixir of life, but when he consumes the experimental potion, he transforms into a beautifulwoman. Desperate to cover up his newfound identity he calls her his sister, but things take a turn for the worse when Jekyll realises that he needs more femalehormones if he is to maintain his existence. Before longDr Jekyll is battling with his alter ego Ms Hyde as a number of young girls begin to go missing from thefoggy streets of Whitechapel.

While Robert Louis Stevenson’s short novel spawnedcountless film adaptations and spin-offs, with the earliest appearing in 1908, Hammer studios revitalisedthe concept with Dr Jekyll and Sister Hyde. The wittyscreenplay by Brian Clemens not only comes up withthe gender twist but also incorporates Burke and Hareand Jack the Ripper into the storyline. Ralph Bates andMartine Beswick are excellent in the title roles, and RoyWard Baker’s direction keeps the film moving with athick gothic atmosphere.

The Crazies Fri 27 October, 20:45

A government plane carrying a biological warfare viruscrashes near a small Pennsylvania town. When thedeadly virus seeps into the water supply, the governmentsends in the army, unannounced, to quarantine thetown. The alarmed citizens of Evans City are now facedwith contamination, infected neighbours who have become irrational psychopaths, and mysterious soldierswho are rounding up and detaining people. A groupbands together to escape the quarantine, but who canyou trust when you can’t tell who has been driven topanic and hysteria, and who has been infected by thevirus?

Chosen by Kelly Richardson to coincide with her exhibition The Weather Makers, The Crazies is a high octane mix of tension and paranoia. The narrativemoves back and forth between the army officials struggling to control the situation, and the civilians fighting for their lives. This is one of the finest films from the late George A. Romero, who passed away inJuly of this year.

Young Frankenstein Sun 29 October, 15:30

Mel Brooks was always at his best when making fun of something he loved and his masterpiece, YoungFrankenstein, both pays homage to and deliriously lampoons the Universal horror movies of the 1930s. The late, great Gene Wilder plays Victor Frankenstein(pronounced Fronk-en-steen), an idealistic young scientist who wants to distance himself from his grandfather’s attempts to reanimate the dead... until he inherits his grandfather’s estate and his assistant, Igor (pronounced eye-gore).

If modern parodies often look like cheap imitations ofthe films they mock, Young Frankenstein could be thegenuine article. It is beautifully shot in black and whiteand uses sets from the original Frankenstein films. Butwhat really makes Young Frankenstein a classic is theendless stream of jokes gamely delivered by a brilliantensemble including Madeline Kahn, Cloris Leachman,Terri Garr, Marty Feldman, Gene Hackman, and PeterBoyle, whose Monster gives Karloff a run for his money.

Dir: Mel Brooks USA 1974 / 1h45m / PG To the Devil a Daughter

Sat 28 October, 21:15

Excommunicated from the church, fanatical FatherMichael formed a satanic convent called The Children ofthe Lord and selected one child, Katherine, to be rearedin the ways of the devil and eventually reign as Satan’srepresentative on Earth. But when the time comes forthe consummation of her destiny, Katherine’s distraughtfather seeks the aid of occult specialist John Verney. Innocent people die violently and the spectre of Satancasts a shadow across the lives of all involved as Verneybattles to save young Katherine.

By the 70s the traditional Hammer formula had startedto seem old-fashioned alongside films such as Rosemary’sBaby and The Exorcist. To the Devil a Daughter was thestudio’s attempt to move in a new direction, but criticaland audience reaction at the time was lukewarm. Overthe years, however, many have recognised its virtuesthanks to an intensely villainous performance byChristopher Lee, stylish direction by Peter Sykes and a prevailing sense of the macabre.
