16 Feb 18 29 Mar 18 16 FEB 18 29 MAR 18 1 | 16 FEB 18 - 29 MAR 18 49 BELMONT STREET | BELMONTFILMHOUSE.COM When we started Kino Bar back in October, it was with some trepidation. Projectors cost money, screens cost money and audiences don’t necessarily always come easy, even when you think you’re putting on the right films. Three months in though and we’re looking at 3 sold out shows in a month and healthy pre-sales for the next batch. I’m incredibly proud to say that it appears to be working and glad that we have found a supportive audience. The films, for the most part chosen by staff at Belmont, have been a smattering of things we like, things we think you’ll like and things that have been suggested to us. We also try to link to films to the main cinema programme where we can. Sometimes there just isn’t enough room in a brochure – my kingdom for a nineteen screen cinema (or a nineteen screen Kino Bar)! With unlimited space I would have loved to show Force Majeure and Leviathan for example, whose directors, Ruben Östlund and Andrey Zvyagintsev, both have new releases within this brochure, The Square and Loveless. Cinema has an incredible knack of relying on your memory to appetise you for offerings just on the horizon and these two directors have made two of the best films I’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing, with Leviathan in particular probably being the best film I’ve seen in the time I’ve worked at Belmont. I’ve just passed the ten year mark. Kino Bar is filled with the likes ofThere Will Be Blood, following on from Phantom Thread, still magnificent and ten years old itself;Pan’s Labyrinth, which plays just after The Shape of Water has a stint in the cinemas and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, which should just about sail us toward the release of Isle of Dogs in April. For the main cinemas, I’ll use my introduction to signpost the other treats in February and March. As well as The Square, Loveless and The Shape of Water, we finally get our hands on All The Money in the World and squeeze in Downsizing. Lady Bird and I, Tonya flutter and glide in respectively. Mountain returns if you missed it, The Divine Order plays for International Women’s Day and we show three classics for Granite Noir. Colin Farquhar, Head of Cinema Operations BUY A TICKET FOR...

When she and co-worker Zelda (Octavia Spencer) encounter a classified experiment - a mysterious creature beyond everyone’s understanding - a connection is forged that will profoundly change their lives. As he so skilfully did with Pan’s Labyrinth (see page 18), the imaginative Guillermo del Toro once again brings us a beautifully-shot, dark-edged fantasy set at a tumultuous time in human history. Del Toro’s principal inspiration for the creature in The Shape of Water orginated from the ‘Gill Man’ in Creature from the Black Lagoon which screens on Thursday 29 March (see page 11).

  • 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.

  • Sob Sisters: the Image of the Female Journalist in Popular Culture
    SOB SISTERS: THE IMAGE OF THE FEMALE JOURNALIST IN POPULAR CULTURE By Joe Saltzman Director, Image of the Journalist in Popular Culture (IJPC) Joe Saltzman 2003 The Image of the Female Journalist in Popular Culture revolves around a dichotomy never quite resolved. The female journalist faces an ongoing dilemma: How to incorporate the masculine traits of journalism essential for success – being aggressive, self-reliant, curious, tough, ambitious, cynical, cocky, unsympathetic – while still being the woman society would like her to be – compassionate, caring, loving, maternal, sympathetic. Female reporters and editors in fiction have fought to overcome this central contradiction throughout the 20th century and are still fighting the battle today. Not much early fiction featured newswomen. Before 1880, there were few newspaperwomen and only about five novels written about them.1 Some real-life newswomen were well known – Margaret Fuller, Nelly Bly (Elizabeth Cochrane), Annie Laurie (Winifred Sweet or Winifred Black), Jennie June (Jane Cunningham Croly) – but most female journalists were not permitted to write on important topics. Front-page assignments, politics, finance and sports were not usually given to women. Top newsroom positions were for men only. Novels and short stories of Victorian America offered the prejudices of the day: Newspaper work, like most work outside the home, was for men only. Women were supposed to marry, have children and stay home. To become a journalist, women had to have a good excuse – perhaps a dead husband and starving children. Those who did write articles from home kept it to themselves. Few admitted they wrote for a living. Women who tried to have both marriage and a career flirted with disaster.2 The professional woman of the period was usually educated, single, and middle or upper class.

  • About the Production
    Alliance Communications presents a Redeemable Features Production a film by everyone who worked on it 94 Minutes Rated PG-13 A Redeemable Features Release Press Contact: Jeremy Walker Jeremy Walker Associates (212) 595-6161 Page 2 SYNOPSIS "All I Wanna Do" is a comedy about a closely-knit group of friends set at a traditional New England all-girls boarding school in 1963. But at its core, "All I Wanna Do" is also the story of young women who recognize their own value and potential when their all- female sanctuary becomes threatened by the specter of men. The film was written and directed by Sarah Kernochan, an established screenwriter making her feature directorial debut. For Odie (Gaby Hoffmann), a pretty but moody teenager, being sent to Miss Godard's Prep School for Girls midway through the year is a little bit like being sent to prison. Miss Godard's has all kinds of rules, and a lot is expected of the girls there. But Odie soon discovers that the girls at Miss Godard's also have a lot of fun, and most important, the school is something of a haven where girls can behave, well, just like girls since there are no boys in sight. After a tour of the campus guided by Abby (Rachael Leigh Cook), an uptight, brown- nosing "monitor" on the Self-Government Committee, Odie just wants to cry. But things start looking up when Odie meets her new roommates, Verena (Kirsten Dunst) and Tinka (Monica Keena). Verena is a schemer who likes to break the rules.

  • Masculinity in Children's Film
    Masculinity in Children’s Film The Academy Award Winners Author: Natalie Kauklija Supervisor: Mariah Larsson Examiner: Tommy Gustafsson Spring 2018 Film Studies Bachelor Thesis Course Code 2FV30E Abstract This study analyzes the evolution of how the male gender is portrayed in five Academy Award winning animated films, starting in the year 2002 when the category was created. Because there have been seventeen award winning films in the animated film category, and there is a limitation regarding the scope for this paper, the winner from every fourth year have been analyzed; resulting in five films. These films are: Shrek (2001), Wallace and Gromit (2005), Up (2009), Frozen (2013) and Coco (2017). The films selected by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in the Animated Feature film category tend to be both critically and financially successful, and watched by children, young adults, and adults worldwide. How male heroes are portrayed are generally believed to affect not only young boys who are forming their identities (especially ages 6-14), but also views on gender behavioral expectations in girls. Key words Children’s Film, Masculinity Portrayals, Hegemonic Masculinity, Masculinity, Film Analysis, Gender, Men, Boys, Animated Film, Kids Film, Kids Movies, Cinema, Movies, Films, Oscars, Ceremony, Film Award, Awards.

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.
