26 OCT 18 6 DEC 18 1 | 26 OCT 18 - 6 DEC 18 49 BELMONT STReet | BELMONTFILMHOUSE.COM Upon watching They Shall Not Grow Old, you feel a keen impression of how film can shape our view of the world. Peter Jackson has created something quite staggering by colourising and modernising footage from World War 1. It is simultaneously both humanising, yet slightly unsettling. Footage of Tommys and tanks from 100 years ago are suddenly given an incredible realness. A younger audience may be forgiven for thinking that the events actually happened in black and white, having viewed them only through the frames of cinema and television. Bold colour doesn’t as much make them come to life as it does make you realise that these images were once contemporary too. Although the internet now reigns supreme as our window on the world, there is something unparalleled about how film captures and releases those images that never quite leave us. And ‘Cinema’ as a medium aside, the actual experience of going to the cinema is quite unmatched. Internet ‘memes’ in the living room can’t quite compare, can they? It certainly helps when the films are exceptional too. November sees the return of Steve McQueen with superior heist film Widows. Given McQueen’s quite staggering record since he turned from art to movies, however, don’t just expect a simple bank job. - reviews have been excellent and booking is well advised! Other headliners include Mike Leigh’s Peterloo, Gus Vant Sant’s Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far on Foot - starring Joaquin Phoenix - and Luca Guadagnino’s take on Dario Argento’s horror classic Suspiria. We are advised it isn’t for the faint of heart... Sticking with the horror theme, it’s nearly Halloween and we’ll be celebrating with The Evil Dead, The Shining and the eponymous Halloween, for its 40th anniversary. Luckily, a well timed John Carpenter retrospective is also on the cards. French Film Festival 2019 kicks off on 22 November and we also welcome back Fokus: Films from Germany and Take One Action from 16-18 November - with 6 of the most important documentaries you will see this year. We’re excited to announce that Belmont Filmhouse Young Programmers have curated their Film Festival, Teenage Kicks. Working with Community and Learning Engagement Coordinator Nicola, the group have been meeting downstairs regularly for quite some time. This is the product of their hard work. We congratulate them for their taste too, which has resulted in four super films - do support it. To celebrate the first birthday of Kino Bar we’ve also reprised three big hits, with the staff picking the rest of the line-up. We feel that Kino Bar has worked rather smashingly. Thank you to the audiences for supporting it (please keep requesting films!) and thanks also to the staff. Without their enthusiasm and dedication it wouldn’t quite be the same. I hope you appreciate their picks as much as I do. Enjoy reading on. Colin Farquhar, Head of Cinema Operations Belmont Filmhouse Explorer BUY A TICKET FOR...

Rising to fame and chart success as the lead singer of Queen, Freddie Mercury very quickly finds himself on top of the world. Falling foul of outside influences, however, Freddie shuns Queen in pursuit of his solo career. In the wake of a devastating AIDS diagnosis and struggling artistically without the support of his band, he sets his sights on reunion and an opportunity to perform at the historic Live Aid concert... Mr Robot star Rami Malek truly inhabits the role of Freddie Mercury - who shattered conventions, railed against stereotypes and became one of the most beloved entertainers on the planet. The 2.45pm screening on Sunday 4 November will be ‘relaxed’ format - see page 35.
