4 MAY 18 5 JUL 18 1 | 4 MAY 18 - 5 JUL 18 88 LOTHIAN ROAD | FILMHOUSECinema.COM CELEBRATING FORTY YEARS OF FILMS WORTH TALKING ABOUT 63 days, 123 films, 642 screenings + 1 international film festival… ...are, miraculously, all contained within the 56 pages of this programme. (Though, admittedly, if you want to know anything about the aforementioned film festival beyond simply its dates, you’ll need to go to www.edfilmfest.org.uk on or after 10am on the 23 May!) Yes, it’s our annual Bumper [early] Summer Double Issue, packed with more films than I care to mention (again). There’s a lot in it for sure. It’s a bit daunting, I know. Take it slow. Take an hour. Savour it, one page of great films at a time. There’s so much in it, I had to apologise to the staff for giving them so much work to do. But, don’t tell them, I couldn’t really care less… your cinematic pleasure comes first! (It’s OK, they think that too.) But, it’s like the fella said, quantity is never a substitute for quality – that’s why we’ve got that covered too. You will, of course, want to find that out for yourself… We’re entering the second half of our significant Bergman retro (that is, Ingmar), and I’m very hopeful we can continue attracting such healthy audiences (though one or two of you did look a little peaky, if I’m honest) as the season progresses. So far audience numbers have been very encouraging indeed. Also inside is a timely season of films dealing with events in Europe in 1968, our Sergio Leone retro concludes, British New Wave mainstay Woodfall Films are celebrated, G.W. Pabst’s Pandora’s Box gets reissued (and we’ve thrown in a few others of his as well), 40 Years of Filmhouse countdown to 1978 hits the golden years of 1999 to 1992, sax legend Tommy Smith takes up the programming reins as our latest House Guest, and our Italian Film Festival returns in its 25th edition! And I’ve not even mentioned any of the new releases – Lean on Pete, On Chesil Beach, Edie, Jeune Femme, Redoubtable, Filmworker, That Summer, Studio 54… Rod White, Head of Programming Filmhouse Explorer BUY A TICKET FOR...

Faced with yet another ‘new start’, Charley craves something secure, something definite - something stable. Taking a summer job with a grizzled horse trainer (Steve Buscemi) down at the local track, he quickly forms a bond with one of the veteran horses, Lean on Pete. Following the EIFF award winner 45 Years, director Andrew Haigh returns with this compassionate, at times heart-wrenching adaptation of Willy Vlautin’s acclaimed novel. “Despite the increased budget and scope, Andrew Haigh’s artistry remains low-key and deeply intimate.” - Jamie Dunn, The Skinny New Releases BOX OFFICE 0131 228 2688 | PROGRAMME INFO 0131 228 2689 4 MAY 18 - 5 JUL 18 | 5 NEW RELEASE NEW RELEASE REDOUbtable LE Redoutable WESTERN Fri 11 to Thu 24 May Tue 15 to Thu 17 May Michel Hazanavicius • France 2016 • 1h42m • Digital • French with Valeska Grisebach • Germany/Bulgaria/Austria 2017 • 2h1m • Digital English subtitles • 15 - Contains strong language, sex, nudity. • Cast: German, Bulgarian and English with English subtitles Louis Garrel, Stacy Martin, Bérénice Bejo, Gregory Gadebois. 12A - Contains infrequent strong language, moderate sex, violence.
