The Queen of Katwe (PG) Fri 2 – Thu 8 December Dir. Mira Nair, SA/US, 2016, 124 mins. Cast. Madina Nalwanga, Lupita Nyong’o, David Oyelowo. The inspiring story of Phiona, a young girl from a Ugandan slum whose life was changed the day she wandered into a chess club looking for free porridge. There she receives support and encouragement and is instilled with the confidence she needs to pursue her dream of becoming an international chess champion. My Scientology Movie (15) Sat 19 – Wed 23 November Dir. John Dower, UK/US, 2015, 99 mins. With. Louis Theroux With a lifetime of experience dealing with eccentric human behaviour, Louis Theroux won’t take no for an answer when his request to enter the Church of Scientology headquarters is turned down. Suffused with humour, and moments worthy of a Hollywood script, My Scientology Movie is as outlandish as it is revealing. Little Men (PG) Fri 4 – Thu 10 November Dir. Ira Sachs, US, 2016, 82 mins. Cast. Greg Kinnear, Jennifer Ehle, Paulina Garcia, Theo Taplitz, Michael Barbieri. 13-year-old Jake, a shy, thoughtful kid has recently moved into the upstairs apartment of a Brooklyn townhouse that his family have inherited. He is befriended by Tony, the son of a Chilean seamstress. Understated and profoundly humane, a simply lovely film. PROGRAMMER’S PICK American Honey (15) Fri 18 – Thu 24 November Dir. Andrea Arnold, UK/US, 2016, 163 mins. Cast. Sasha Lane, Shia La Beouf, McCaul Lom- bardi, Riley Keogh. Told through the eyes of an 18-year-old runaway girl, who joins a travelling magazine sales crew, and gets caught up in a whirlwind of hard partying and young love as she criss-crosses the Midwest with a band of misfits, including Hollywood’s own enfant terrible Shia LaBoeuf. An acclaimed Cannes Jury Prize-Winner. Under the Shadow (15) Fri 11 – Thu 17 November Dir. Babak Anvari, Iran, 2016, 84 mins. Cast. Narges Rashidi, Avin Manshadi, Bobby Naderi. This politically charged, spine- chilling debut from director Babak Anvari is an atmospheric thriller set in a haunted Tehran apartment during the terrifying final days of the Iran-Iraq War. Blending period detail and social critique with a good old fashioned horror story, this is a feminist ghost story that is as smart as it is scary. The Girl on the Train (15) Fri 11 – Thu 24 November Dir. Tate Taylor, US, 2016, 112 mins. Cast. Emily Blunt, Luke Evans, Justin Theroux, Allison Janney. If, like us, you were completely hooked on Paula Hawkins best-selling novel, then you will not want to miss this much-anticipated big screen adaptation. Rachel, devastated by her recent divorce, spends her daily commute fantasizing about the seemingly perfect couple who live in a house that her train passes every day, until one morning she sees something shocking happen there and becomes entangled in the mystery that unfolds. Film Club Tue 15 Nov Introduced by Film Programmer Anna Navas Join us in the bar after the film for an informal discussion and some free crisps - sponsored by Burts!

Sharon Maguire, UK, 2016, 123 mins. Cast. Renée Zellweger, Colin Firth, Patrick Dempsey, Emma Thompson. Forty something and single again, Bridget decides to focus on her job as top news producer and surround herself with friends. What could possibly go wrong? In an unlikely twist she finds herself pregnant, but with one hitch…she can only be fifty percent sure of the identity of her baby’s father. I, Daniel Blake (15) Fri 25 Nov – Thu 1 Dec Dir. Ken Loach, UK/France, 2016, 100 mins. Cast. Natalie Ann Jamieson, Mark Burns, Colin Coombs. Loach’s often funny yet intensely moving tale of the friendship between an out-of-work carpenter and a young single mother, forced to navigate the vagaries of the British welfare system, arrives on a wave of critical acclaim which saw its director win the Palme d’Or at this year’s Cannes. The Light Between Oceans (12A) Fri 9 – Thu 15 December Dir. Derek Cianfrance, US, 2016, 133 mins. Cast. Michael Fassbender, Alicia Vikander, Rachel Weisz, Jack Thompson.

PROGRAMMER’S PICK BOOK EARLY BOOK EARLY Paterson (tbc) Tue 27 Dec – Thu 5 Jan Dir. Jim Jarmusch, US, 2016, 113 mins. Cast. Adam Driver, Golshifteh Farahani. Paterson is a bus driver who lives in the town of Paterson, New Jersey with his partner Laura, an artist. Driver hits a career high as our quiet everyman with a military past whose journeys are both physical and existential. He is constantly attuned to the extraordinary and poetic, offering a charming depiction of how lovers can co-exist and support each other’s creativity. The Blue Room (15) Fri 25 Nov – Thu 1 Dec Dir. Mathieu Amalric, France, 2016, 75 mins, subtitled. Cast. Mathieu Amalric, Lea Drucker, Stephanie Cleau, Laurent Poitrenaux. This is a brilliantly performed adaptation of George Simenon’s taut 1964 novel. Amalric plays Julien, a modestly successful man in provincial France, who finds himself in the depths of an affair. In his second feature as a director, Amalric has crafted a mystery of savage tautness. Swiss Army Man (15) Fri 2 – Thu 8 December Dir. Dan Kwan, US, 2016, 97 mins. Cast. Paul Dano, Daniel Radcliffe, Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Outrageously fun yet deeply affecting, Swiss Army Man tells the tale of Hank who is stranded on a desert island. One day, everything changes when a corpse named Manny (Radcliffe) washes up on shore. The two become fast friends, and ultimately go on an epic adventure.

Susan is a gallery director whose current marriage appears to be unravelling. She fuels her insomnia by reading the manuscript of a novel, written and sent to her by her ex-husband.

This film celebrates the triumph of love and intelligence over intolerance and oppression. BOOK EARLY
