FILMS WORTH TALKING ABOUT

HOME OF THE EDINBURGH INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL Resolve with me… See More Films in 2019! As I’m sure most of you are aware… it is, or is soon to be, 2019! And, as I’m sure at least a few of you are aware, that’s us now in the year in which Blade Runner is set. That gives us twelve months to witness attack ships off the shoulder of Orion or watch C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate for that film’s predictions to be realised. Unlikely I know, but perhaps it will all come to pass some time after the year it was conjectured as a possible future, you know, like 1984 did…

There is actually a proper reason for mentioning Blade Runner, for it will take its place as part of a four-month season we’re doing in partnership with the National Museum of Scotland (where the film will screen) to tie in with their awesome ‘Robots’ exhibition, which will kick off this month with a special screening of Fritz Lang’s silent masterpiece, Metropolis, with DJ soundtrack by Le Vangelis (no, not The Vangelis). So, the museum has a replica of Maria, the robot in the film, and we have the film! (Wait a minute, didn’t The Vangelis do the score for Blade Runner? Oh, the weird interconnectedness of things…)

In other news, this Jan/Feb double issue is so bung-fu’ of Oscar hopefuls I’m not sure where to start! Watch these titles figure hugely come the time:, Stan & Ollie, , Beautiful Boy, Mary Queen of Scots, Can You Ever Forgive Me?, Green Book, If Beale Street Could Talk… Because this is a double issue, I would normally get to guess the Oscar winners with the knowledge of who’s nominated, but this year I’m going to have to do it stone cold. Here goes, with the usual heart over head: Roma will win best film and best director, and there will be acting Oscars for , John C. Reilly, and Richard E. Grant – if there’s any justice in this world whatever, that is.

SPECIAL EVENT Nanook of the North With live score by S!nk Sun 10 Mar at 4.00pm

Robert J. Flaherty • USA 1922 • 1h18m • Digital • Silent • U

Centred on the lifestyle of the titular Inuk and his family, Nanook of the North is of the most pivotal films in history, Robert Flaherty’s filmic examination of Inuit culture in the icy Canadian Arctic frontier came at a time before the concept of ‘documentary’ had even been solidified. Flaherty embarked on this most challenging shoot with just three weeks of cinematography training under his belt, and while the film has attracted fair criticism for his staging of events - particularly the depiction of archaic hunting practices - the film remains a enduringly fascinating watch today. This screening will feature a live performed score by S!nk, who have previously accompanied screenings of other silent classics like The Cabinet of Dr Caligari and The Adventures of Prince Achmed at Filmhouse.
