  • CELEBRATING FORTY YEARS of FILMS WORTH TALKING ABOUT 39 Years, 2 Months, and Counting…
    5 JAN 18 1 FEB 18 1 | 5 JAN 18 - 1 FEB 18 88 LOTHIAN ROAD | FILMHOUSECinema.COM CELEBRATING FORTY YEARS OF FILMS WORTH TALKING ABOUT 39 Years, 2 Months, and counting… As you’ll spot deep within this programme (and hinted at on the front cover) January 2018 sees the start of a series of films that lead up to celebrations in October marking the 40th birthday of Filmhouse as a public cinema on Lothian Road. We’ve chosen to screen a film from every year we’ve been bringing the very best cinema to the good people of Edinburgh, and while it is tremendous fun looking back through the history of what has shown here, it was quite an undertaking going through all the old programmes and choosing what to show, and a bit of a personal journey for me as one who started coming here as a customer in the mid-80s (I know, I must have started very young...). At that time, I’d no idea that Filmhouse had only been in existence for less than 10 years – it seemed like such an established, essential institution and impossible to imagine it not existing in a city such as Edinburgh. My only hope is that the cinema is as important today as I felt it was then, and that the giants on whose shoulders we currently stand feel we’re worthy of their legacy. I hope you can join us for at least some of the screenings on this trip down memory lane... And now, back to the now.

  • Phantom Thread (2017)
    PHANTOM THREAD (2017) ● Released on January 18th, 2018 ● Released on December 25th, 2017 (Limited) ● 2 Hours 10 minutes ● $35,000,000 (estimated) ● Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson ● Written by Paul Thomas Anderson ● Annapurna Pictures, Focus Features, Ghoulardi Film Company ● Rated R for language QUICK THOUGHTS ● Marisa Serafini ● Phil Svitek ● Demetri Panos DEVELOPMENT ● “I remember that I was very sick, just with the flu, and I looked up and my wife (Maya Rudolph) looked at me with tenderness that made me think, “I wonder if she wants to keep me this way, maybe for a week or two.” I was watching the wrong movies when I was in bed, during this illness. I was watching Rebecca, The Story of Adele H., and ​ ​ ​ ​ Beauty and the Beast, and I really started to think that maybe she was poisoning me. ​ So, that kernel of an idea, I had in my mind when I started working on writing something.” ● “Paul will talk about the project early on,” says Sellar. “He’ll show me rough drafts. He’ll show me scenes. I’ll comment. We’ll go back and forth on stuff. We’ll start doing research together. And when he’s got a draft we all feel is good enough to send out to financiers, usually between him and his agent we’ll come up with where we’re going to send it.” - JoAnne Sellar WRITING (Paul Thomas Anderson) ​ ● National Board of Review award for best original screenplay ● Anderson was especially intrigued by a photograph of Dior in a workroom of women dressed in white coats.

  • CELEBRATING FORTY YEARS of FILMS WORTH TALKING ABOUT Solved! the Mystery Motors of the Autosafe “Skypark”…
    2 MAR 18 5 APR 18 1 | 2 MAR 18 - 5 APR 18 88 LOTHIAN ROAD | FILMHOUSECinema.COM CELEBRATING FORTY YEARS OF FILMS WORTH TALKING ABOUT Solved! The Mystery Motors of the Autosafe “SkyPark”… Huge thanks to a number of you out there who sent me a link to the BBC News article that finally puts the issue I’ve been bleating on about for months (see Filmhouse December and February monthly programme introductions) to bed. Turns out the eight cars that have been trapped in the failed then abandoned automated car park (which is currently being dismantled behind our offices) since it closed in the early 2000s were only ever old bangers brought in to test the automatic parking machinery! Phew! Glad to have gotten to the bottom of that one… Our March programme, as is customary for the time of year, is replete with Oscar® hopefuls, it now being the turn of Lady Bird, Phantom Thread (in 70mm!), A Fantastic Woman, Palme d’Or winner The Square, and The Shape of Water, which continues from February. Awards season is, though, nearly over, as is evidenced by a slew of new films too new to qualify for consideration this year: Lynne Ramsay’s brilliant You Were Never Really Here; Warwick (Samson & Delilah) Thornton’s stunning Aussie ‘western’, Sweet Country, and Wes Anderson’s fabulous Isle of Dogs. And you know what, looking at that list, I’m going to stick my neck out and say that I’m not entirely sure I have ever seen a better line-up of new release cinema, at any one cinema, ever.

  • Heldenfels Interview 2020 (Full)
    An Interview with Rich Heldenfels Rich Heldenfels is an associate lecturer of English at The University of Akron. You may have had him for a composition or film appreciation course. Most notably, you might have encountered him in the Akron Beacon Journal from 1994-2016 where he served a large chunk of his forty plus year career in the newspaper business as the TV critic and general pop culture reviewer. He is also the author of Television’s Greatest Year: 1954 and co-writer of multiple books, such as Ghoulardi: Inside Cleveland TV’s Wildest Ride and Cleveland TV Memories. AshBelt’s Poetry Editor Dylan Morris sat down with him to talk about his background, career, the troubles with switching careers, good and bad films, how Quentin Tarantino is overrated, and how incredible Antonio Banderas was in Pain and Glory. I wanted to get some of the basic stuff out of the way and ask what is your educational background? For the people who may not have had you for a class. My undergrad is a B.A in English from Princeton University which I got in 1973. I have a master’s from The University of Akron in English. I got the Master’s in 2011. Okay, are you from the Akron area? No. Okay, I was going to ask for you since you went to Princeton, and Akron is a much different area and culture. What do you think was the difference culturally for you? Especially coming back as a nontraditional student to Akron. Even with a huge time gap in between.

  • PHANTOM THREAD 2017 130 Mins
    PHANTOM THREAD 2017 130 mins Director/Writer Paul Thomas Anderson Reynolds Woodcock Daniel Day Lewis Cyril Woodcock Lesley Manville Alma Vicky Thrieps Music Jonny Greenwood The genesis of the film originated with Anderson but the development of the storyline and script developed jointly between Anderson and Day Lewis, who had of course worked with Anderson most recently in “There Will be Blood”. Anderson had the idea of an inter- dependent relationship, a picture in his mind of man and a woman on a hill and then by chance read a biography of Balenciaga and from there we have got Phantom Thread. (The title refers to Reynold Woodcock’s habit of sewing an embroidered phrase, as a message to a dead woman, somewhere into his creations. It is a phantom as only he knows it is there.) Other influences were the films of Powell and Pressburger, David Lean’s” Passionate Friends”, plus “I know where I’m Going, “Rebecca ,”Vertigo’ and “Gaslight”. The sense of 1950’s Britain and the world of the omnipotent couturier with his devoted clients is sumptuously set against the inner regimented world that Reynolds Woodcock inhabits in his London house with his sister Cyril, whose whole existence is devoted to maintaining his life as he requires it to be. As a method actor Day Lewis apprenticed himself to the costume director of the New York City Ballet, studied drawing, hand sewing and draping and made 100 buttonholes and a Balenciaga sheath dress from scratch as a preparation for the role. This is not a film about Balenciaga though, but about relationships.

  • Annapurna, the 56Th Annual New York Film Festival and Apollo Theater to Celebrate Baldwin and Beale Street in Harlem
    ANNAPURNA, THE 56TH ANNUAL NEW YORK FILM FESTIVAL AND APOLLO THEATER TO CELEBRATE BALDWIN AND BEALE STREET IN HARLEM US PREMIERE OF JENKINS’ IF BEALE STREET COULD TALK TO UNSPOOL AT THE HISTORIC THEATER, A FIRST FOR THE NEW YORK FILM FESTIVAL “Know whence you came. If you know whence you came, there is really no limit to where you can go.” – James Baldwin Thursday, August 23, 2018 (NEW YORK, NY) – Barry Jenkins' feature film adaptation of James Baldwin's 1974 novel "If Beale Street Could Talk" will have its US premiere at Harlem's Apollo Theater as part of the 56th New York Film Festival, presented by the Film Society of Lincoln Center. This marks the first time that the festival will present a screening at the historic theater. Based on the novel by James Baldwin, If Beale Street Could Talk is the story of Tish, a newly engaged Harlem woman who races against the clock to prove her lover’s innocence while carrying their first-born child to term. It is a celebration of love told through the story of a young couple, their families and their lives, trying to bring about justice through love, for love and the promise of the American dream.
