When Ellen, the matriarch of the Graham family, passes away, her daughter Annie (Toni Colette) and her husband (Gabriel Byrne) and their two children begin to unravel cryptic and increasingly terrifying secrets about their ancestry.

Making his feature debut, writer-director Ari Aster unleashes a nightmare vision of a domestic breakdown that exhibits the craft and precision of a nascent auteur, transforming a familial tragedy into something ominous and deeply disquieting, and pushing the horror movie into chilling new terrain with its shattering portrait of heritage gone to hell.

In the hope of getting a replacement for his soiled carpet, 'the Dude' pays a visit to his wealthy namesake... The Big Lebowski will be released by Park Circus in selected international territories throughout 2018.

PLEASE NOTE : The performance on Sunday 9th September will be a digital presentation due to a booking error for the 70mm print. All ticket holders will be contacted for refunds or exchanges!
Celebrating the 50th anniversary of Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, Warner Bros. Pictures present an ‘unrestored’ 70mm print of the director’s groundbreaking science fiction epic!
"For the first time since the original release, this 70mm print was struck from new printing elements made from the original camera negative. This is a true photochemical film recreation. There are no digital tricks, remastered effects, or revisionist edits. This is the unrestored film - that recreates the cinematic event that audiences experienced fifty years ago." - Christopher Nolan
Stanley Kubrick’s dazzling, Academy Award®-winning* achievement is a compelling drama of man vs. machine, a stunning meld of music and motion. Kubrick (who co-wrote the screenplay with Arthur C. Clarke) first visits our prehistoric ape-ancestry past, then leaps millennia (via one of the most mind-blowing jump cuts ever) into colonized space, and ultimately whisks astronaut Bowman (Keir Dullea) into uncharted space, perhaps even into immortality. “Open the pod bay doors, HAL.” Let an awesome journey unlike any other begin.
Please Note: The 70mm presentationas of the film will be screened with the original 10 minute interval. To minimise disruption where possible, we ask that customers please remain in their seats for interval and the duration of the entire performance, if possible.
Allison Anders will be on-site for a post-film Q&A.
Mousie (Seidy Lopez) and Sad Girl (Angel Aviles) are two Mexican-American gang members in Echo Park, LA, who have been best friends since childhood. Their loyalty to the gang and one another is put to the test when Sad Girl betrays Mousie, by sleeping with her boyfriend. Drugs, murder, and tragedy seek to further re-define the state of their friendship.
Allison Anders’s third feature continued her interest in America's southern borderlands and the Mexican-American experience, while moving into the heart of LA gangland culture. Featuring the likes of Salma Hayek and Danny Trejo in small roles, Anders otherwise used an assortment of non-actors from the Echo Park area. Critically-acclaimed at the time of its release, the film failed to find a wide audience, but with its focus upon the urban experience of young Mexican-American women it is ripe for rediscovery in these times of Trumpian chauvinism.
- Rohan Crickmar
About ALISON ANDERS : Allison Anders is an esteemed American filmmaker know for her iconic films GAS FOOD LODGING, MI VIDA LOCA, and GRACE OF MY HEART. Her work has gained international recognition and earned her numerous awards including a Primetime Emmy Award, a Peabody Award, and multiple Independent Spirit Awards.
This screening is part of RAINDANCE FILM FESTIVAL. For more information on the festival please visit : https://www.raindance.org/

One of the most profitable horror movies ever made, this tale of an exorcism is based loosely on actual events. When young Regan (Linda Blair) starts acting odd -- levitating, speaking in tongues -- her worried mother (Ellen Burstyn) seeks medical help, only to hit a dead end. A local priest (Jason Miller), however, thinks the girl may be seized by the devil. The priest makes a request to perform an exorcism, and the church sends in an expert (Max von Sydow) to help with the difficult job.

Briskly paced with wonderful acting, this well-crafted film is on the pulse of socio-political strife in the UK and reflects the current political unrest worldwide.

Somewhere in the primal wilderness near the Shadow Mountains in the year 1983, Red Miller has fallen deeply for the beguiling Mandy Bloom. But the life he has made for himself comes suddenly and horrifyingly crashing down when a vile band of ravaging idolaters and supernatural creatures penetrate his idyllic paradise with vicious fury. A broken man, Red now lives for one thing only—to hunt down these maniacal villains and exact swift vengeance.
SCREAM [1996] : Wes Craven re-invented and revitalised the slasher-horror genre with this modern horror classic, which manages to be funny, clever and scary, as a fright-masked knife maniac stalks high-school students in middle-class suburbia. Craven is happy to provide both tension and self-parody as the body count mounts - but the victims aren't always the ones you'd expect.
SCREAM 2 [1997] : Sydney (Neve Campbell) and tabloid reporter Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) survived the events of the first "Scream," but their nightmare isn't over. When two college students are murdered at a sneak preview of "Stab," a movie based on the events from the first film, it's clear a copycat killer is on the loose. Sydney and Gail, as well as fellow survivors Deputy Dewey (David Arquette) and Randy (Jamie Kennedy) have to find out who is behind this new murder spree, before they all end up dead.
When college nostalgia inspires a group of middle-aged businessmen to match-make for the widow – played with measured dignity by Setsuko Hara (Tokyo Story) – of one of their friends and her daughter, they have no idea of the strife their careless interference will cause. Late Autumn’s examination of familial upheaval moves effortlessly from comedy to pathos and is amongst the finest of legendary director Yasujiro Ozu’s post-war films.
Included here is the surviving version of Ozu’s moving silent drama A Mother Should Be Loved. Missing both first and last reels the incomplete film nevertheless achieves a dramatic intensity in its portrayal of Sadao, a young man struggling to deal with a disturbing family secret.
Aaron Boone (Craig Sheffer) is haunted by terrifying nightmares of a city of monsters. He goes to see a psychiatrist, Dr. Decker (David Cronenberg), for help. But what Boone doesn't know is that Decker is really a serial killer. Decker frames Boone to take the fall for his murders, and Boone is killed by the police. But Boone is brought back to life by the monsters of his dreams, the Nightbreed, who in turn join Boone in his quest to stop Decker from killing again.
When slacker teen Anton Tobias (Devon Sawa) has his right hand possessed by a demonic force, he finds that his life gets a lot more interesting. While Anton himself is an amiable guy, his hand proves to be an appendage of death, killing his two best buddies, Pnub (Elden Henson) and Mick (Seth Green), who return to life as wisecracking zombies. In addition to murdering those closest to him, Anton's evil hand significantly hinders his chances with lovely neighbor Molly (Jessica Alba).
Interwoven stories demonstrate that some traditions are best not forgotten as the residents (Anna Paquin, Brian Cox, Dylan Baker) of a small town face real ghosts and goblins on Halloween. Tales of terror reveal the consequences of extinguishing a Jack-o-Lantern before midnight and a grumpy hermit's encounter with a sinister trick-or-treater.
DEMONS [1985] : A group of random people are invited to a screening of a mysterious movie, only to find themselves trapped in the theater with ravenous demons.
DEMONS 2 [1986] : A group of tenants and visitors are trapped in a 10-story high-rise apartment building infested with demons who proceed to hunt the dwindling humans down.
An empty fuel tank and a flat tire lead two couples down a terror-riddled road to the House of 1000 Corpses. "House of 1000 Corpses" is at its core a story of family - a cast of twisted individuals who, with each slash of a throat or stab thru the chest, add bodies to their sick human menagerie.
There's something pretty grisly going on under London in the Tube tunnels between Holborn and Russell Square. When a top civil servant becomes the latest to disappear down there Scotland Yard start to take the matter seriously.

Dario Argento is Europe’s leading horror director and his SUSPIRIA is a masterpiece which transcends cinema, extending into pure art. Argento’s expressionist hyper-assault on our senses is legendary: with his groundbreaking excessive style staging jaw-dropping mind-frying on-screen violent gore, which is Argento’s own inimitable trademark, SUSPIRIA is situated between art-house aesthetics and splatter gore-fest!
The film stars Jessica Harper as an American student who uncovers a deadly coven of witches at her prestigious German Dance Academy. With its highly distinctive cinematography and an unnerving pounding score by Goblin,SUSPIRIA is an epic nightmare – as influential as it is terrifying – which it will stay with the viewer for ever.
When teenagers Mike (Grant Cramer) and Debbie (Suzanne Snyder) see a comet crash outside their sleepy small town, they investigate and discover a pack of murderous aliens who look very much like circus clowns. They try to warn the local authorities, but everyone assumes their story is a prank. Meanwhile, the clowns set about harvesting and eating as many people as they can. It's not until they kidnap Debbie that Mike decides it's up to him to stop the clowns' bloody rampage.
Sally (Sandra Bullock) and Gillian Owens (Nicole Kidman), born into a magical family, have mostly avoided witchcraft themselves. But when Gillian's vicious boyfriend, Jimmy Angelov (Goran Visnjic), dies unexpectedly, the Owens sisters give themselves a crash course in hard magic. With policeman Gary Hallet (Aidan Quinn) growing suspicious, the girls struggle to resurrect Angelov -- and unwittingly inject his corpse with an evil spirit that threatens to end their family line.
Viago, Deacon, and Vladislav are vampires who are finding that modern life has them struggling with the mundane - like paying rent, keeping up with the chore wheel, trying to get into nightclubs, and overcoming flatmate conflicts.
David (David Naughton) and Jack (Griffin Dunne), two American college students, are backpacking through Britain when a large wolf attacks them. David survives with a bite, but Jack is brutally killed. As David heals in the hospital, he's plagued by violent nightmares of his mutilated friend, who warns David that he is becoming a werewolf. When David discovers the horrible truth, he contemplates committing suicide before the next full moon causes him to transform from man to murderous beast.
New York City police investigator Dewey Wilson (Albert Finney) is trying to solve a series of grisly deaths in which the victims have seemingly been maimed by feral animals. He teams up with expert criminologist Rebecca Neff (Diane Venora), and together they stumble upon a band of inner-city Native Americans, led by the streetwise Eddie Holt (Edward James Olmos), who warns Wilson and Neff about a wolf-like, mythical creature that could offer a shocking solution to this disturbing case.
A soldier introduces himself to the Peterson family, claiming to be a friend of their son who died in action. After the young man is welcomed into their home, a series of accidental deaths seem to be connected to his presence.

Tommy Wiseau's "masterpiece" The Room has been hailed as the biggest cult film since Rocky Horror.
So bad it's good, it's drawn a cult following in the US with viewers acting out skits, storming out in disgust, and throwing plastic cutlery during screenings. However unlike other cult films such as Rocky Horror, or the Big Lebowski, these fans are drawn to how bad they regard the film to be! Come and see the birth of a cult with it's poor score, terrible acting and internet meme generating script.

SPEED RACER - 10th Anniversary 35mm Celluloid Sorceress Presentation
Born into a family race car business, Speed Racer (Emile Hirsch) is one of the track's hottest stars. At the wheel of his Mach 5 he consistently deflates the competition. When Speed turns down an offer from the head of Royalton Industries he uncovers a secret: powerful moguls fix the races to boost profits. Hoping to beat the executive Speed enters the same arduous cross-country race that killed his brother.
After announcing their acquisition of the rights Warner Bros held SPEED RACER in development for 15 years before legendary producer Joel Silver reteamed with Lana and Lilly Wachowski to bring the world of Speed and his brother Racer X to the big screen.
Shot digitally but released in both 35mm and Imax 15/70, the visionaries behind The Matrix created a luminous technicolor universe filled with vivid characters in one of the most unconventional blockbusters of the decade.
SPEED RACER was not a hit, talk of a sequel was abandoned and the directors have still to return to the glory of their Matrix days. But like The Matrix before it, SPEED RACER is filmmaking ahead of its time and a decade later deserves to be celebrated on the big screen from an original 35mm print for all the fans of the classic 60s anime and manga series!

Soho, 1959. With the world on the brink of nuclear destruction, a group of filmmakers and a young philosopher set out to prove that a typewriter and a camera can be mightier than a nuclear bomb.
The story of ADRIFT IN SOHO is the story of how a group of people from the seediest part of town can rise up and challenge the world.
On the face of it, they are all losers. The world seems to be running away from them. As a result, they form their own secret society totally divorced from the city they live. They develop their own rules, their own lifestyles and values. But it soon turns out that the new generation would turn in their favour and shun the wider society. Only a few years later the youth of Britain would join Soho and change the world. This is the first time that this original group of people is remembered on film. They never asked for the limelight, they have it now.
What should seemingly powerless individual do when the world goes mad? What should you do when surrounded by scary fog and shadows, smoke and mirrors? Stand firm. Think. The Soho heroes of that decade also include a count fallen on hard times, a vagrant with an iron foot, a artist with a big chip on his shoulder, street hostesses, a mad fencer, writers, drinkers and chancers. But they were much better than what the outside world had to offer.
ADRIFT IN SOHO took years of research to find out what really happened in those last few years before the 60s began. The result is a film full of wonderment but also a film that makes you think and demands your attention because the characters are talking to you and not just trying to make you dream.
A young mute woman who is working in a New England mansion as a domestic is terrorized by a maniac who is killing off people with disabilities. After being warned of the danger to her personal safety she makes plans to leave the dark old house, but it is too late. The maniac is in the house, and she is his prey.
A lifelong love of flight inspires Japanese aviation engineer Jiro Horikoshi (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), whose storied career includes the creation of the A6M World War II fighter plane.

The first feature film of the legendary Monty Python group takes us on a medieval quest in England, circa 932 A.D. Wise-cracking, sublimely irreverent and jaw-droppingly hysterical, this comedy will bring laughter (and coconuts!) to our lives when we most need a dose of anarchic Python daring.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail follows King Arthur (Graham Chapman) who is accompanied by his trusty servant Patsy (Terry Gilliam) to seek knights to join his round table at Camelot. The quest isn’t, however, as easy as it might sound: constitutional-obsessed peasants, a Three-Headed Knight and singing dancers of Camelot are only a few of the characters that our merry group of knights will come across on their journey. And did we mention the coconuts already?
Endlessly quotable and quintessentially British, the film also later served as inspiration for the hit musical Spamalot.

Vincent Vega (John Travolta) and Jules Winnfield (Samuel L. Jackson) are hitmen with a penchant for philosophical discussions.

Based on a true story, the film tells of the courageous men and women who risk their lives every working day, pitting their fishing boats and rescue vessels against the capricious forces of nature.

A career-changing role for comedic motormouth and action star Eddie Murphy (48 Hours, Beverly Hills Cop), Coming to America was the first romantic comedy for the undisputed box office king of the 1980s. Popular to this day for its memorable characters and meme-friendly dialogue and costumes, this cult comedy favourite from director John Landis (The Blues Brothers, Animal House) also includes great performances by Arsenio Hall and James Earl Jones, as well as early appearances by Samuel L. Jackson and Cuba Gooding Jr.
It’s the story of a 21-year-old prince, Akeem (Murphy) from the fictional African country of Zamunda. Rejecting a life of pampered luxury and an arranged marriage in his home country, he decides to travel to America with his best friend Semmi (Hall) to live the American dream and find true love instead – comically assuming that New York’s Queens is the only place fit for a king. But whilst the Big Apple isn’t quite what he or Semmi expected, a job at the local fast food place brings Akeem closer to Lisa (Shari Headley), the beautiful girl he has a crush on.
Besides their main roles in this comedic fairy tale, Murphy and Hall are also transformed by make-up wizard Rick Baker (Michael Jackson’s Thriller) to play four smaller parts; a multi-character trademark that would continue throughout Murphy’s popular career in movies such as The Nutty Professor, Bowfinger and Norbit.

A tiny nymph found inside a bamboo stalk grows into a beautiful and desirable young woman, who orders her suitors to prove their love by completing a series of near-impossible tasks.
In 1982, Ingmar Bergman emerged with one of his most singularly acclaimed films - a work that dramatically broke away from much of the moody psychodrama that characterized such earlier motion pictures as Cries & Whispers and Hour of the Wolf. Entitled Fanny and Alexander, and originally intended as the director's "swan song," this epic plunges into the life of a theatrical family named the Ekdahls, in turn-of-the-century Sweden. Bergman filters life through the eyes of the two titular Ekdahl children (Pernilla Alwin and Bertil Guve), as they come of age, lose their father unexpectedly, and must contend with their mother's remarriage to an uncaring, dictatorial clergyman from whom there seems to be no escape. Instantly hailed as a masterpiece,
Casablanca: easy to enter, but much harder to leave, especially if you're wanted by the Nazis. Such a man is Resistance leader Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid), whose only hope is Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart in one of his most memorable roles), a cynical American who sticks his neck out for no one—especially Victor's wife, Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman), the ex-lover who broke his heart.
Ilsa offers herself in exchange for Laszlo's transport out of the country and bitter Rick must decide what counts more—personal happiness or countless lives hanging in the balance.

A lifelong love of flight inspires Japanese aviation engineer Jiro Horikoshi (Hideaki Anno), whose storied career includes the creation of the A6M World War II fighter plane.
Original Theatrical Date: August 6, 1993
OSCAR WINNER: Best Supporting Actor - Tommy Lee Jones
Nominated for seven Academy Awards, including "Best Picture," this 1993 box-office blockbuster is as compelling today as when it first stormed into theaters.
Harrison Ford and Oscar-winner Tommy Lee Jones race through this breathless manhunt movie based on the classic television series of the Sixties. Ford is prison escapee Dr. Richard Kimble, a Chicago surgeon falsely convicted of killing his wife and determined to prove his innocence by leading his pursuers to the one-armed man who actually committed the crime.
Jones, who also picked up the Golden Globe, is Sam Gerard, an unrelenting bloodhound of a U.S. Marshal. They are hunted and hunter. And as directed by Andrew Davis, their nonstop chase has one exhilarating speed: all-out.
So catch him if you can. And catch an 11-on-a-scale-of-10 train wreck (yes, the train is real), a plunge down a waterfall, a cat-and-mouse jaunt through a Chicago St. Patrick's Day parade and much more.
Better hurry. Dr. Richard Kimble doesn't stay in one place very long!

This deadpan, affectionate parody of film noir tropes is named for film critic Pauline Kael's influential 1968 collection of film reviews and essays.

Brown), have to leave town for a family emergency, there is only one person available to babysit for their three kids: Bob's lazy, carefree brother, Buck (John Candy). While he immediately gets along with the two younger children (Gaby Hoffman, Macaulay Culkin), Buck must change his bachelor lifestyle if he wants to be a responsible caregiver for the angst-filled teenager, Tia (Jean Louisa Kelly).
Just released from prison, all Rudy Duncan (Ben Affleck) wants is to start a new life with Ashley (Charlize Theron), the girl of his dreams, whom he met through pen pal letters in prison.

Run for your miserable lives, the vengeance is going to be swift and bloody!
