Honestly – and honesty about the films we show is one of the very cornerstones of what we do here at Filmhouse – should it become a decent summer weather-wise, please don’t let it put you off coming to the cinema, for that would be something of an, albeit minor in the grand scheme of things, travesty. Mind you, a quick look at the long-term forecast tells me you’re more likely to be in here hiding from the rain. Honestly…? No, I made that last bit up. I was at a world-renowned film festival on the south coast of France a few weeks back (where the weather was terrible!) seeing a great number of the films that will figure in our upcoming programmes. A good year at that festival invariably augurs well for a good year at this establishment and it’s safe to say 2019 was a very good year. Going some way to proving that statement right off the bat, one of my absolute favourites comes our way on 23 August, Pedro Almodóvar’s Pain and Glory which is simply 113 minutes of cinematic pleasure; and, for you, dear reader, I put myself through the utter bun-fight that was getting to see Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood for which the wait to get into the theatre was roughly as long as the (quite long) film itself. Worth every minute for what many argue may be QT’s best film yet… But that’s in August – there’s so much to enjoy before then, and if you make a point of catching Diego Maradona, Never Look Away, Photograph and Apollo 11 (the first moon landing finally has the documentary it deserves!) you’ll thank me for the recommendation!

Talented artist Kurt Barnert (Tom Schilling) has fled East Germany into the West, but his mind remains flooded with the memories of his childhood and adolescence in both the Nazi era and the GDR. We are swept along through his younger days - as fascists rule and fall, young love blossoms and buried secrets linger close-by. Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck (The Lives of Others) returns with this powerful, beautifully-shot inter- generational epic, spanning three decades of 20th century Germany. Never Look Away is loosely based on the life of artist Gerhard Richter and was nominated for two Academy Awards in 2019, including for cinematography. The film had its UK Premiere at EIFF 2019. “A triumphant return form... a treatise on love and war and the limitless reach of art” «««« - Rolling Stone New Releases BOX OFFICE 0131 228 2688 | PROGRAMME INFO 0131 228 2689 5 JUL 19 - 5 SEP 19 | 5 MAYBE YOU MISSED NEW RELEASE AmaZING GraCE EIGHTH Grade Fri 12 to Tue 16 Jul Fri 12 to Thu 18 Jul Alan Elliott, Sydney Pollack • USA 2018 • 1h27m • Digital • U - Con- Bo Burnham • USA 2018 • 1h34m • Digital • 15 - Contains strong tains no material likely to offend or harm. • Documentary. language, sex references. • Cast: Elsie Fisher, Josh Hamitlon, Jake Ryan, Emily Robinson, Daniel Zolghadri, Luke Prael.
