1 | 24 MAY 19 - 4 JUL 19 49 Belmont Street | belmontfilmhouse.COM In Yesterday, Richard Curtis imagines a world without The Beatles. Ed Sheeran exists. James Corden exists. And Richard Curtis would have to exist. Go figure.
It becomes impossible to conclude what might not exist without Lennon/McCartney. Can you draw a line through the entire lineage of British pop-rock from that point on? Does Pet Sounds ever get written, without Rubber Soul pushing Brian Wilson in the back? What does Jimi Hendrix cover in the Savile Theatre to wow a London audience, three days after Sgt Pepper isn’t released? What version of a Beatles-less Britain is there that encourages a young Richard Curtis to write or not write Four Weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill, never mind Yesterday, a film which is actually about the bloody Beatles - a band that no longer exists. What it really boils down to is this - imagining a world without The Beatles would be much like imagining a world without Belmont Filmhouse. It just wouldn’t be as good.
Where else in Aberdeen could you see Freedom Fields - a documentary about the Libyan women’s football team? Ciro Guerra’s follow up to Embrace of the Serpent? Or 7 films fromScotland’s Italian Film Festival? Even if you could, a rose by any other name may not smell as sweet – ask Reg Dwight in Rocketman.
Our comprehensive Kubrick season continues with special focus on a remastered Dr Strangelove. We also host a richly rewarding Hirokazu Kore-eda mini-retrospective, with some of the Japanese director’s most renowned early films. There’s a special presentation of Dark Highlands from Hats on Sticks productions, who gave us One Day Removals a few years back. You’ll remember the Doric - and likely the swearing. Aberdeen’s Steven Lewis Simpson will also be present for a Q&A following a screening of his film Neither Wolf Nor Dog, which had its World Premiere at EIFF.
Vox Lux sees Natalie Portman return to her Black Swan-esque best, and the film features the final musical output of the late, great Scott Walker. Elsewhere, Claire Denis blasts Juliet Binoche and Robert Pattinson into space in High Life, Bill Nighy scrabbles to reconnect with his estranged son in Sometimes Always Never and László Nemes (Son of Saul) returns with the incredible Sunset. Look out for Julianne Moore in Sebastián Lelio’s Gloria Bell, Emma Thompson in Late Night and three different Bruce Waynes in all four Burton and Schumacher Batman films. We’re certainly not The Beatles, but it would likely take at least a double album to mention everything showing - I count 63 films in this brochure.

NEW RELEASE Rocketman Fri 24 May to Thu 6 Jun
Dexter Fletcher • UK/USA 2019 • 2h5m • Digital • cert tbc • Cast: Taron Egerton, Richard Madden, Bryce Dallas Howard, Stephen Graham, Jamie Bell.
Years before the peak of his fame, music superstar Elton John was just Reg Dwight (Taron Egerton) - a notably talented musician at the Royal Academy of Music, with mountainous potential... but missing something from his life. The spark of inspiration, aided by collaborator Bernie Taupin (Jamie Bell), would lead him on the journey of a lifetime - through fame, fortune, mental health, sexuality, substance abuse and beyond.
Fresh from taking over the reins to complete the production of Bohemian Rhapsody, director Dexter Fletcher injects this Elton John biopic with a highly appropriate (and much welcome) dose of fantastical magic. With humour, warmth and spectacular musical performances - Rocketman could well be one of the big-screen hits of the summer.

Domino Recording Company presents Henryk Górecki: Symphony No. 3 (Symphony of Sorrowful Songs) performed by Beth Gibbons (Portishead) and the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Krzysztof Penderecki. The performance took place at The National Opera Grand Theatre in Warsaw on 29 November 2014, part of an evening of programming that also featured Jonny Greenwood’s (Radiohead) 48 Responses To Polymorphia and the world premiere of Bryce Dessner’s (The National) Réponse Lutosławski. Gibbons undertook an intense preparation process, including tackling the challenge of learning the original text (and the emotional weight it carries) without speaking the mother language. Typical to Beth though - the elusive yet iconic frontwoman of one of the most important British bands of the last two decades - the challenge was met and exceeded. Her performance alongside the maestro Penderecki has been hailed as triumphant, as you can see on this concert film. Saving Private Ryan/Neither Wolf Nor Dog/Coming Soon

Having never won a major tournament, ailing football giant SSC Napoli had criminally underachieved. Their fanatical support was unequalled in both passion and size. None was more feared. But how they ached for success…On 5th July 1984, Diego Maradona arrived in Naples for a world-record fee and for seven years all hell broke loose. The world’s most celebrated football genius and the most dysfunctional city in Europe were a perfect match for each other. Maradona was blessed on the field but cursed off it; the charismatic Argentine, quickly led Naples to their first-ever title. It was the stuff of dreams. But there was a price… Diego could do as he pleased whilst performing miracles on the pitch, but when the magic faded he became almost a prisoner of the city. Featuring astonishing archive footage, much of it from Maradona’s personal collection, the third film from the Academy Award and BAFTA-winning team behind Senna and Amy is a comprehensive look at one of the most iconic figures in sporting history. 13 | 24 MAY 19 - 4 JUL 19 49 Belmont Street | belmontfilmhouse.COM Kinio Bar

Joel Schumacher • USA/UK 1995 • 2h • Digital • 12A - Contains moderate violence. • Cast: Val Kilmer, Tommy Lee Jones, Jim Carrey, Nicole Kidman, Chris O’Donnell, Michael Gough, Drew Barrymore.
With District Attorney turned criminal Harvey Dent - aka Two-Face (Tommy Lee Jones) - on a rampage across Gotham and downtrodden computer genius Edward Nygma - aka The Riddler (Jim Carrey) - hatching a wild scheme to drain the brains of its citizens, Batman (Val Kilmer) has his hands full. In taking wardship of an angsty young circus performer (Chris O’Donnell), he may have found the perfect ally - a boy wonder.
All the while, Bruce Wayne balances his double life amid the attentions of the fascinated Dr Chase Meridian (Nicole Kidman). Joel Schumacher’s spin on the Batman mythos is a campy romp of mid-90s kitsch.

But cracks in their firm foundation begin to appear when both their heads are turned by the manipulative Poison Ivy (Uma Thurman), whose charms are, quite literally, intoxicating.
Add into the mix the pun-spouting Mr Freeze (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and the hulking, destructive Bane (Jeep Swenson) and you’ve got a comic book adventure that’s found derision and cult fandom in equal measure. 23 | 24 MAY 19 - 4 JUL 19 49 Belmont Street | belmontfilmhouse.COM estival ilm F Italian Film Festival talian F I Scotland’s annual celebration of the best in Italian cinema returns for 2019 with an exciting, wide- ranging selection, including recent films and classics

Stanley Kubrick • UK/USA 1968 • 2h29m • Digital • U - Contains some mild horror • Cast: Keir Dullea, Gary Lockwood, William Sylvester, Daniel Richter, Leonard Rossiter, Margaret Tyzack.
Kubrick’s groundbreaking classic, undoubtedly the most influential science-fiction film of the ‘60s, is a spellbinding masterpiece that can still make you dizzy with wonder. Based on the novella The Sentinel by Arthur C Clarke, the film quite literally changed our concept of space and spaceships, replacing the pencil- shaped rocketships with large constructions more commensurate with the vastness of deep space. Famous also for its use of Strauss (both Richard’s ‘Also Sprach Zarathustra’ and Johann’s ‘Blue Danube’), the story details man’s first confrontation with a higher power (the monolith, the representation of the mysterious force that seems to guide man), his struggle against machines of his own making (the unforgettable HAL 9000), and the distant future, where man’s life cycle becomes meaningless...
