CinemaJuly – August 2017

The shadow of the Second World War looms large

in this guide, not least because one of the most

anticipated films of the summer, Dunkirk, will be

landing on our screens. In the hands of master

filmmaker Christopher Nolan, we can be certain

that this will be no ordinary war film but a visceral,

immersive and original cinematic experience. With

a cast that reads like a who’s who of contemporary

acting talent, ‘sure thing’ is perhaps a bit of an

understatement. Our run of Dunkirk is bookended

by two other films which feature very different

Second World War stories – Alone in Berlin, about

the extraordinary resistance of ordinary German

people against the Nazi regime, and Land of Mine,

which examines the horrors committed against the

German prisoners-of-war in post-war Denmark.

Both these films strongly emphasise that the

impact of war is felt far beyond the battlefield.

The other unexpected commonality in this month’s

guide is a focus on artists at work. Fresh from its

premiere at the Edinburgh International Film Festival,

the unauthorised biopic of Morrissey, England is Mine,

gives us a glimpse into the singer-songwriter’s early

years in the Manchester music scene, while Maudie

places a painter centre stage. It’s never easy to

capture the creative process on screen, but both of

these films capture the energy, agony and necessity

of artistic expression.

And finally, for anyone who has found themselves

losing hours of time watching cat videos online,

we’ve got a beautiful alternative for you. Kedi, a

portrait of Istanbul street felines and the people

who love them, is an absolutely purr-fect treat.

Tommy’s Honour Fri 14 – Thu 20 July

Tommy’s Honour is a loving tribute to the legendary Morris family (‘Old’ Tom Morris and‘Young’ Tommy Morris) who shaped the game of golf as we know it today. A tale of incredibleachievement and dedication, it is also at its hearta story about a father and son whose relationshipis strained by a conflict between tradition and innovation.

Tommy (Jack Lowden) has grown up with golf inhis blood. His father, Tom (Peter Mullan) is a livinglegend at the Royal & Ancient club in St Andrewswhere he earns his living tending to the greens,believing in the longstanding rules and regulationswhich inform the game. Tommy has his eye on amore democratic game, where all players get tokeep their winnings, and longs for a world wherehis natural talent at the game is recognised. AsTommy’s fame grows, tensions rise and when he falls in love with a woman his parents believeto be unsuitable, the rift between father and sonbecomes insurmountable.

Adapted for the screen by Kevin Cook from hisown book, Tommy’s Honour admirably doesn’tshy away from the class divide which was undeniably part of the sport and the family’s history. Shot primarily on location, there is muchpleasure to be found in seeing familiar streets andgreens as they might have looked in the past, butthe star here is the sport itself and the sportsmenwhose legacy made it such an important part ofScotland today.

Alone in Berlin Fri 14 – Thu 20 July

Adapted from Hans Fallada’s 1947 novel Every Man DiesAlone (only translated into English in 2009 and a surprise best-seller) this film tells the true story of one working classcouple’s underground resistance.

The Quangels are an ordinary Berlin family whose lives areripped apart by the news that their son has been killed in combat. Anna (Emma Thompson) and Otto (Brendan Gleeson)are heartbroken and share no joy in their neighbourhood celebrations following France’s defeat. Surrounded by Naziflags flying in the streets and shops around him, a disillusionedOtto quietly defaces an official propaganda postcard so that it accuses the Third Reich of being full of lies. With Anna’shelp, he begins a secret campaign of resistance, depositingpostcards depicting anti-Hitler slogans all around the city. In a world where suspicion, surveillance and propaganda areparamount, this small act of defiance speaks volumes. AsInspector Escherich (Daniel Brühl) begins the search for theman responsible for the postcards, the Quangels becomeeven more determined to get their message of truth to thepeople for as long as they possibly can.

Directed with a steady hand by former actor Vincent Perez,accompanied by a fine Alexandre Desplat score and superbproduction design by Jean-Vincent Puzos, Alone in Berlin,very much like the couple whose story it tells, is a quiet, powerful and devastating film.

The Beguiled Fri 14 – Thu 27 July

Based on Thomas P. Cullinan’s 1966 novel, The Beguiled is a deliciously dark Southern Gothic tale about captors andcaptives set against the backdrop of the Civil War. Previously brought to the big screen by Don Siegel in 1971 withClint Eastwood in a starring role, this new adaptation by Sofia Coppola explores this story of power and desire from an altogether different angle.

Colin Farrell plays the fecklessbut affable Corporal JohnMcBurney, a wounded Unionsoldier who has left his regiment. Discovered hiding in the woods by one of the pupils from the nearby Farnsworth Seminary, he soon findshimself being tended to by teachers Miss Martha (Nicole Kidman) and Miss Edwina (Kirsten Dunst) and their group ofyoung charges. Although initially suspicious, gradually all the women warm to McBurney, who plays each of them offone another in an effort to stay alive. As the women compete for his attention, the moral waters become very murky indeed, and when McBurney’s duplicity becomes apparent so too does the women’s ruthlessness.

Coppola perfectly captures the stifling atmosphere of this isolated girl’s school where students are desperate for contact with the outside world and yet terrified at what it might bring. A place where manners and rituals mean everything is turned upside down as much by their hidden desires as by the stranger in their midst. Farrell excels as the vulnerable but calculating soldier and Kidman (who is a shining example of how to navigate your career in middle-age) is superb as the prim and proper Martha, who turns out to have nerves of steel. Keep an eye out too foryoung actress Addison Riecke as Marie, who has a natural comic gift we’ve not seen on screen in a long time, providing much needed light relief in a film which will have you on the edge of your seat throughout.

Dunkirk Fri 21 July – Thu 10 August

Christopher Nolan is a director whose work is guaranteed to be followed by a list of superlatives: imaginative, original,and our favourite, cinematic. From The Prestige to Inception to Interstellar, his films explore and examine the humancondition by pitting their characters against overwhelming odds. It is fitting then that Dunkirk, Nolan’s latest and mostambitious project to date, revolves around the biggest rescue mission in one of the most destructive periods of humanhistory.

Set during the Second World War at the peak of Hitler’s tyrannical hold onEurope, Dunkirk tells the true story ofOperation Dynamo and the desperateevacuation of 400,000 Allied troops from the shores of France. With an overwhelming Nazi force closing in, the Alliesfind themselves trapped on the verge of complete annihilation, with little hope of rescue. But despite the near impossibleodds, the British people heed the call to aid the soldiers, sailing a flotilla of hundreds of merchant marine and fishingboats straight into the heart of danger to rescue them.

Longtime Nolan collaborator Hans Zimmer provides a uniquely poignant score while Interstellar cinematographerHoyte Van Hoytema casts a keen eye over the action. The result is sure to be a visually breathtaking and emotionallydevastating tale of true heroism. Starring Cillian Murphy, Tom Hardy, Kenneth Branagh, Mark Rylance and with HarryStyles making his acting debut, Dunkirk is sure to be one of the biggest blockbusters of the year.

Kedi Sun 16 – Wed 19 July

Director Ceyda Torun grew up in Istanbul in the early 1980swhen the city was the epicentre of a country on the brink ofglobalization. At the time, the population of the city wasmerely 4 million; today it is almost 20 million, with the city limits still constantly expanding. Alongside the growinghuman populus, there has been another creature making its way: the street cat. With backgrounds as varied as theirhuman counterparts, street cats experience the city in waystotally unknown to people. For them, the city might as well be called Catstanbul.

Torun was drawn to make Kedi by the unique way street catsare treated in Istanbul, which is not too dissimilar to cows inIndia. For the largely Muslim population, cats have a somewhatholy reputation, being referenced multiple times in storiesabout the prophet Mohammed. In Istanbul stray cats are neither ignored nor removed from the streets; instead there is a communal approach whereby residents care for the animals while allowing them to retain their independence.Claiming no owners, these cats live between two worlds, neither wild nor tame – and they bring joy and purpose to thepeople they choose to adopt. In Istanbul, cats are the mirrorsto the people, allowing them to reflect on their lives in waysnothing else could.

Following seven individual street cats on their daily adventures,this documentary will charm its way into your heart and homeas you fall in love with the cats of Istanbul.

A Man Called Ove En man som heter Ove Fri 28 July – Thu 3 August

Blending black humour and painful truths, the filmopens as Ove (Rolf Lassgård) decides he’s hadenough of the world. Lonely since the death of his beloved wife Sonja, let go from his job by a younger manager, and irritated by people disobeying all the rules in his neighbourhood, Ove makes several meticulously planned attempts at suicide. But at each turn, he isthwarted by unwelcome visitors, chief amongthem Parvaneh (Bahar Pars), a young mother who has moved in with her family next door. Despite Ove’s grumpy rebuttals of her offers ofPersian food and kindness, Parvaneh perseveresand as they get to know each other, an unlikelyfriendship develops.

Although Ove is difficult to like at times, as we get to know more about his past, his eccentricitiesbecome more and more understandable. Lassgård,familiar to audiences from his years playing television detective Kurt Wallander (althoughbarely recognisable under some stellar makeupwork) is terrific as the curmudgeonly old man with an essentially kind heart.

It Comes at Night Fri 28 July – Thu 3 August

Production company A24 are building a reputation amongsthorror fans for producing original, atmospheric thrillers, seenmost recently with last year’s unforgettable and creepy The Witch. Their latest, It Comes at Night, is set in a post-apocalyptic world, and puts aside the usual shock tactics for a subtler but even more terrifying approach as we watch a family slowly unravel.

The story begins in the near future where life as we know ithas been wiped out by a contagious plague. Survivors Paul(Joel Edgerton, at his taciturn best), wife Sarah (CarmenEjogo) and their teenager son Travis (Kelvin Harrison Jr.) have barricaded themselves in a house in the woods. Livingin terror, the family are constantly on high alert for any infectedpeople who might try to come in. When the uninfected Will(Girls’ Christopher Abbott) arrives, desperately looking forshelter for his partner Kim (Riley Keough) and their boy Andrew (Griffin Robert Faulkner), Paul reluctantly decides tolet them stay. Given the level of destruction happening in theoutside world, it is only a matter of time before tensions withinthe household start to mount, with loyalty and family bondsbecoming casualties of the need to survive.

Despite the familiar premise, this post-apocalyptic tale offersa lot which is fresh and unique. Kris Fenske’s forebodingsound design, Drew Daniels’ dark and murky cinematographyand director Trey Edward Shults’ ability to create complexcharacters all add up to a tense and terrific watch.

The Midwife Sage Femme Fri 4 – Thu 10 August

French filmmaker Martin Provost (Séraphine, Violette) returns to our screens with The Midwife,which showcases the talents of two of France’sbest loved actresses: Catherine Deneuve andCatherine Frot. This may be a familiar story ofsecond chances, but in the hands of these twocapable performers it becomes much more.

Devoted midwife Claire (Frot) has committedmost of her adult life to bringing new babies intothe world at a small but busy clinic. Learning that her workplace is to be taken over by a bighospital, and with her adult son Simon (QuentinDolmaire), a second-year student at medicalschool, no longer in need of her attention, Claire is at a mid-life crossroads. Into her well-ordered,humdrum world crashes the energetic and volatileBeatrice (Deneuve), her father’s former lover, whomClaire hasn’t seen in over 35 years. Claire is initiallysuspicious of Beatrice’s reappearance, but thetwo very different women forge a relationshipwhich will change both of their lives forever.

Provost has already proven his talent for capturingthe stories of women who don’t fit into a standardmould and making them feel authentic and real,and The Midwife is no exception. He wrote thescript specifically for Frot and Deneuve, and it is areal celebration of the complexity of female friend-ship, something we rarely see on screen thesedays.

Song to Song Fri 4 – Fri 10 August

There are some for whom the name Terrence Malick is whispered in hushed tones, forever enshrined in cinema historyas the man responsible for Days of Heaven and Badlands. Others have found themselves divided over more recentfilms like The Tree of Life, To the Wonder and Knight of Cups. But the DCA cinema team subscribe to the belief thatany new Malick film is cause for excitement, and it’s with that in mind that we bring you Song to Song.

Using its setting of the indie musicscene in Austin, Texas to maximum effect (cue cameos by Patti Smith andIggy Pop) Song to Song chronicles the troubled and complicated relationships between a group of young and beautiful creative people. Aspiring songwriterFaye (Rooney Mara) is in a kind of relationship with confident and arrogant record producer Cook (Michael Fassbender)when she meets and falls hard for his protégé BV (Ryan Gosling). While the mutual attraction between the two musiciansis undeniable, Faye is reluctant to end her relationship with powerful businessman Cook, and their love triangle is furthercomplicated when Cook takes up with a flirtatious local waitress (Natalie Portman). Searching for happiness, each ofthe characters must choose their own path, be it love, financial success, or artistic freedom.

With a stellar cast and the magical photography of long-time collaborator cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki, Songto Song is sure to entrance some and challenge others. We look forward to hearing what you think either way!

England Is Mine Fri 11 – Thu 17 August

Still able to provoke controversy for his militant vegetarianism and outspoken political views, singer-songwriter StevenPatrick Morrissey will forever be associated with the seminal 1980s band The Smiths. England Is Mine, selected toclose this year’s Edinburgh International Film Festival, focuses on the singer-songwriter’s early adult years in Manchester.

Keen to establish himself as a writer,young Morrissey (Jack Lowden) writeshopeful letter after letter to the NewMusical Express, whilst earning his living working in the local tax office tohelp support his family. Desperate toescape this dull existence, he is foreverskiving off with local art student Linder(Jessica Brown Findlay) or escaping to the office rooftop to work on his lyrics. Not content settling for the status quo,Morrissey still can’t quite bring himself to break from it. Arrogant, driven and yet misunderstood, Morrissey struggles tofind his place in the Manchester music scene until a certain young guitarist called Johnny Marr turns up; and the rest ishistory.

Although unauthorized, England Is Mine will resonate with Smiths fans, anyone who lived through the 80s, and a wholenew generation who are just discovering this great moment in British music. Told with humour and a real love for thematerial, it captures the agony and ecstasy of young rebellion and dreams.

Maudie Fri 11 – Thu 17 August

Maud Lewis, although now revered as one of Canada’s greatest folk artists, lived most of her life in poverty, in a tinywooden house, never travelling more than a few kilometresfrom her home in Nova Scotia.

The film opens as Maud (Sally Hawkins), a young woman who has already lived a lifetime with juvenile arthritis and acurved back, desperately wants to break away from her overprotective family. She takes a job as a live-in maid forlocal loner Everett (Ethan Hawke) who is initially resistant to her presence in his isolated rural life. Unused to humancompany, Everett considers Maudie to be at the very bottomof the pecking order in the house – well below the dogs andthe chickens. With Maud awkward and self-conscious, itseems almost incomprehensible that this odd couple will ever connect. But as they do, Maud begins to find her voiceand confidence as a painter as well.

Hawkins, with her big eyes and tiny frame, perfectly capturesMaud’s unexpected and quiet pleasure at finding acceptanceafter a lifetime of isolation. And while Maud’s paintings wereoften described as childlike or innocent (she was never formally taught, and never met with other artists), she was a true original. The relationship between Maud and Everettcertainly defied all expectations and Maudie shows us justwhy and how.

Land of MineFri 11 – Thu 17 August

Inspired by real events, Land of Mine, which wasnominated for the Best Foreign Language Film at this year’s Academy Awards, follows the little-known story of the young German prisoners ofwar who were handed over to Danish authoritiesin the days following Germany's surrender in May 1945.

Tough veteran sergeant Carl Rasmussen (RolandMoller) is assigned by Lieutenant Ebbe Jensen(Mikkel Boe Følsgaard) to defuse and remove twomillion mines on the Danish west coast to keepthe beaches safe. He takes advantage of theteenage POWs in his charge, ordering them to dig up the mines from the sand with their barehands. Rasmussen callously promises their freedom and release back to Germany when the task is complete; but after initial hostility heslowly begins to sympathise with their plight. His superiors remain resentful of their former occupiers and are steadfast in the belief theyoung men should be treated with contempt, but Rasmussen, fully aware of the cruelty of their mission, begins to doubt his orders.

The young cast, made up mostly of German andSwiss teenage actors, are excellent, particularlytwins Emil and Oskar Belton who play two brotherscaptured in Germany’s dying days, desperate tostay together at all costs. Shocking and tense,Land of Mine offers a deeply powerful, emotionallyresonant account of a forgotten chapter in history,and a timely reminder of the power of forgiveness.

The End of the GameSat 12 August, 18:00

Over the last few years Scotland has produced several riveting documentaries covering a multitude of issues concerningthe citizens of our great country and beyond. In The End of the Game, director David Graham Scott continues thistrend, introducing audiences to the truly unique Guy Wallace and examining two very different points of view: those of the vegan and the hunter.

A relic of colonial Britain’s heyday, Wallace is a character who appears to have been plucked straight from the pages of a Wilbur Smith novel. At 73 years old his history is fascinating; a boy’s own adventurer who once served as a mercenary and tracker in Africa. Realising that age is catching up with him, Wallace decides to make one last forayfrom the highlands of Scotland to the plains of South Africa in a bid to hunt the enormous Cape buffalo. Scott, a committed vegan for nearly 40 years, tags along to bear witness to the eccentric and cantankerous Wallace’s plan,and to attempt to understand what motivates him and others like him to kill animals in this manner.

Scott conducts his role as documentarian fairly, raising his concerns but never being overly judgemental of Wallace.He truly wants to understand what drives Wallace to hunt, and in doing so poses questions of morality and ethics,often reflecting upon his own. The End of the Game is a captivating, at times devastating but often humorous look at the arguments for and against hunting.

Edith Walks Sat 5 August, 19:00

Edith Walks is an experimental film which documents a pilgrimage from Waltham Abbey in Essex via BattleAbbey to St Leonards-on-Sea in East Sussex, in memory of Edith Swan-Neck. Born in 1025, Edith Swan-Neck was the common-law wife of King Harold,who was slain in the 1066 Battle of Hastings. The filmreconnects the lovers after 950 years of separation andallows the audience to reflect upon all things Edith.

With images shot using digital super 8 iphones andsound recorded using a specially constructed music box with a boom microphone, the film unfolds chronologically but in a completely unpredictable way. The numerous encounters and impromptu performances en route are proof, as if needed, that the angels of happenstance were looking down uponthe troop, with Edith as their hallucination.

Edith Walks will be preceded by Eden Kötting’s shortfilm Forgotten the Queen, which digs into themes inspired by the life of Edith Swan-Neck. Eden’s drawingsand collages are brought to life by Glenn Whiting andtossed into the timeline like flotsam from a dementedpassion.

The Graduate Fri 4 – Sat 5 August

We’re thrilled to be screening a 4K restoration of The Graduate, celebrating the film’s 50-year anniversary. Dustin Hoffman stars as graduate Benjamin Braddock, back home after a highly successful four years at college and undecided as to what the future holds. Family friend Mrs Robinson (Anne Bancroft) has her own ideas and, after hishomecoming party, seduces him. An affair ensues, which is further complicated when Ben starts showing an interestin Elaine Robinson (Katherine Ross). Her parents, and her mother especially, are determined to keep the couple apartat all costs.

In many ways The Graduate feels as youthful and fresh as ever. Its longevity is down to a combination of elements. Ofcourse, there are the superb, career-making performances of Hoffman and Bancroft. Then there’s Calder Willinghamand Buck Henry’s screenplay, which is witty, satirical and eminently quotable. The main credit, however, must go to director Mike Nichols, who encouraged veteran cinematographer Robert Surtees to break all the rules and made thethen unusual decision to have Simon & Garfunkel contribute to the soundtrack. The rest is history.

Crossings: Stories of Migration August – September 2017

Crossings: Stories of Migration is an Institute of Contemporary Arts-led UK-wide film and events programme exploring migration from both global and local perspectives, supported by the BFI using National Lottery funding and in partnership with the Goethe-Institut and the School of Film & Television,Falmouth University.

We live in an age of migration. Driven by political and military conflicts, the pressures and possibilities ofincreasingly globalised economies, climate change and the desire for a better life, more people than evermove and live across borders. These are diverse trajectories; each journey has its own story and eachstory its own journey, traversing different landscapes and carrying with it its own past.

Crossings explores the stories of modern-day migration and reflects on cinema’s potential to interrogatethe damaging ways in which migration is often framed. Including a variety of documentary and fictionfeatures, the programme engages with transnational crossings from the last five decades through different forms of aesthetically innovative storytelling.

Over August and September DCA will screen seven films from the Crossingsprogramme: Lamerica, Mariain Nobody’s Land, Alambrista!, Ta’ang, Those Who Jump, The War Show and Stranger in Paradise. Pleasecheck our website for further Crossings event announcements.

Doña Inés, a 60-year-old woman, has been looking for her daughter for fiveyears and is following the same route her daughter took. Marta and Sandra, tired of the violence from their husbandsand wanting to overcome poverty, decide to leave their families behind to travel to America – with only 30 dollars in their pockets.

Alambrista! Tue 29 August, 18:00

In Alambrista! a Mexican farmworker sneaks across the border to California to make money to send to his familyback home. It is a story that happens every day, told here in an uncompromising, ground-breaking work of realismfrom American independent filmmaker Robert M. Young. Vivid and spare where other films about illegal immigrationmight sentimentalise, Young’s take is equal parts intimate character study and gripping road movie, a political workthat never loses sight of the complex man at its centre. Winner of the Cannes Film Festival’s inaugural Caméra d’Or in 1978, Alambrista! remains one of the best films ever made on this perennially relevant topic.

Rock Dog Fri 14 – Thu 20 July

A Tibetan mastiff who dreams of making it big in the music industry. A world-weary shades-wearing cat voiced byEddie Izzard. A gang of Mafioso-style wolves dabbling in professional wrestling. Oh, and some supernatural martialarts powers. This film’s simple title masks a whole world of mystical excitements.

For a dog, life on Snow Mountain has one simple objective: to guard the village of wool-making sheep from the packof local thuggish wolves. To ensure there are no distractions from this one essential task the local leader Khampa hasbanned all music from the mountain. But on the day a radio falls from the sky and into the hands of Khampa’s sonBodi, introducing him to the joys of a well-played guitar riff, everything changes. Bodi’s new life goal – to become arock star – will involve defying his father, heading to the city and tracking down the reclusive music legend Angus Scattergood. Getting a band together, writing a killer song – and defeating the wolves’ fiendish plot to take over themountain – all become part of Bodi’s new life plan. All in a day’s work for a rock god ...er, rock dog.

Taking its narrative from a graphic novel created by Chinese musician Zheng Jun, this animated Chinese-American co-production revels in the classic rock star origin story. Sing, a massive hit earlier this year, was another of these nowtraditional tales, though the settings here offer a more exotic backdrop, and the voice talent is definitely top of thecharts, featuring Luke Wilson, J.K. Simmons, Sam Elliott and Matt Dillon.

The Boy and the Beast Bakemono no ko

Fri 21 July – Thu 3 August

Legendary hand-drawn animation genius Mamoru Hosoda follows up his previous monster hits The Girl Who LeaptThrough Time, Wolf Children and Summer Wars with his action-packed take on the buddy movie. Combining some favourite ingredients of Japanese anime – conflicted teens, supernatural creatures, epic battles – fans of Hosoda’s earlier titles will not be disappointed.

On the run after the death of his mother, lonely nine-year-old Kyuta heads down an alley and stumbles into Jutenkai,an alternate dimension ruled by beasts. Kyuta becomes apprentice to the bearlike warrior Kumatetsu; however, Kumatetsu proves to be a disastrous teacher and Kyuta a very cocky student resulting in a sparky, humorous relationship a long way from the traditional master/student roles. Years pass, until Kyuta returns to the human dimension and meets Kaede, a smart girl who offers to teach him to read. But being back among humans also leavesKyuta questioning which world he truly belongs in. Conflicted by his commitment to Kumatetsu, and with a battle approaching, he returns to Jutenkai unprepared for what will happen next. As the worlds of human and beasts collide,it’s clear that life will never be the same for either.

Discovery Film Festival has been proud to present all of Hosoda’s previous features to large and appreciative audiences,and we expect a similar reaction this time. Building on familiar themes of love, loyalty, sacrifice and the enduring importance of family, this stunningly adventurous anime – where martial arts dominate and friendships are worth fighting for – will have you on the edge of your seat.

Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie Fri 4 – Mon 14 August

Based on the bestselling books that first appeared in 1997, this latest animation from Dreamworks comes after thecreator of the original comic strips was won over by the studio’s previous work on the How to Train Your Dragon andKung Fu Panda movies. With its high quality rendering of character-driven stories that appeal to audiences of all ages,Captain Underpants is rooted in that world we are all familiar with: school.

George Beard and Harold Hutchins are best friends who spend their days creating comic books and dreaming uppranks. One day they accidentally hypnotise their school principal into believing that he is Captain Underpants, adimwitted superhero whose costume consists of underwear and a cape. As if this isn’t bad enough, their newestteacher is a disgraced evil scientist bent on exacting his revenge at their school. George, Harold and Captain Underpantsmust quickly band together to thwart his evil agenda.

With characters such as Professor Pee-Pee Diarrheastein Poopypants, and a nerdy red-headed brainiac called MelvinSneedly, we needn’t expect to waste too many brain cells keeping up with the plot. But the charm of George andHarold (voiced by Kevin Hart and Thomas Middleditch) and the non-stop barrage of zany sight gags and superheroreferences will entertain and delight anyone who is in need of the kind of refreshment that only an 88 minute sugar rush can provide.

Napping Princess Wed 16 August, 18:00

This fender and genre-bending film takes us into the not-too-distant machine-driven future. Kokone should be diligentlystudying for her university entrance exams, but she just can’t seem to stay awake. Aside from stealing precious studytime, her napping is even more distracting, as it brings on strange dreams about warring machines that hint at family secrets that have been dormant for years. She can’t ask her father, a hipster mechanic more talented and artful thanhis job requires, as he’s always busy modifying motorcycles and cars in flights of fancy. What are these visions thatlead Kokone at once closer to and farther away from her family?

Like all the best anime, Napping Princess revels in multilayered fantasy to show how sometimes opposites – waking anddreaming, the past and the future – are far more intertwined than they appear.
