Scalarama Leeds 1968 Opening Night Party!
2018-09-01 19:30 | The Brudenell Social Club, 33 Queen's Road, Leeds, LS6 1NYhttp://www.brudenellsocialclub.co.uk/, United Kingdom
Why 1968?
1968 was a year that practically ripped up American culture – Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy were assassinated within days of each other, Andy Warhol was shot by a radical feminist and Star Trek shocked the world with American television’s first interracial kiss.
Young men forcibly recruited for the Vietnam war burned their draft cards in public protests and people rioted in the streets over King’s murder.
Columbia University was occupied by students angry at corruption and racist policies, the Democratic Convention in Chicago erupted into violence and Hippies and Yippies held ‘be-ins’ all over the country.
At the Mexico Olympics, American athletes Tommie Smith & John Carlos gave ‘Black Power’ salutes, Night of the Living Dead premiered at the Fulton Theater in Pittsburgh, Hair the musical opened on Broadway and the first pictures of the whole of planet Earth were sent back from Apollo 8.
And wherever you look, from Paris to Prague, from England to Japan, from Spain to Senegal, it can be said that 1968 was the year that the world caught fire.
Since the 1st of May, Leeds’ Film Fringe have been curating a programme of films that draw attention to how this incendiary year looked in film, and now they invite you to a very special 1968 party to celebrate the start of the annual, unconventional, non-conformist and counter-cultural celebration of film that is SCALARAMA!
Let’s party like it’s 1968!

The beginning of September marks the end of the summer. With the ground still producing much in the way of fruits and vegetables, we invite you to watch the beautiful film Flicker + Pulse, made by Yorkshire based Site-Eye Films and then join us and our fellow allotmenteers at the back of Chapel FM to eat, drink and celebrate home-produced food.

You Were Never Really Here
2018-09-03 20:00 - 22:00 | The Old Market, 11A Upper Market Street, Hove, East Sussex, BN3 1AS, United Kingdom
From the director of Ratcatcher and We Need To Talk About Kevin, You Were Never Really Here is the brutal and defiantly masterful new film by uncompromising British filmmaker Lynne Ramsay, and stars an ever-excellent Joaquin Phenoix as a damaged Gulf War veteran and former FBI agent turned assassin for hire, tasked with rescuing a U.S. senator’s daughter from an upscale brothel, as well as taking out the perpetrators responsible for her kidnapping.
Recalling many of the harrowing themes found in Scorsese’s Taxi Driver, and aided by Thomas Townend’s remarkable cinematography and Jonny Greenwood’s immersive electronic score, this inventive thriller is a devastating portrayal of a man wrestling with years of repression and abuse while engaged in a cycle of violence he cannot control.
“…an overwhelming experience, a slice of pure cinema from a director who refuses to dance to the beat of anyone’s drum but her own. From the disorienting opening to the enigmatic finale, Lynne Ramsay is always really here, her commanding vision shining through every frame”
Mark Kermode, The Guardian

Jeune Femme
2018-09-04 20:00 - 22:00 | The Old Market, 11A Upper Market Street, Hove, East Sussex, BN3 1AS, United Kingdom
France’s answer to Fleabag sees Laetitia Dosch explode onto the screen as Paula in Léonor Serraille’s debut film Jeune Femme, a live-wire comedy and an excessive exercise in humour and urgency which explores modern life’s everyday misfortunes.
Back in Paris after a long absence and finding the key to her boyfriend’s apartment no longer works, Paula goes on an erratic “voyage de la loon” around the city – broken-hearted, self-destructive, and with only her ex’s cat’s deadpan stares to rely on. By her nature unable to do anything but live int he moment, we watch as Paula tries her best to reclaim a measure of stability, making new allies and seeing the reappearance of figures from her past.
“Thrillingly capturing both time and place and fizzing with non-judgemental empathy and cinematic flair, this is a magnificent debut that catapults Laetitia Dosch into the front rank of French actresses”
David Parkinson, EMPIRE

Films We Love: Urok/The Lesson
2018-09-04 20:30 - 22:30 | Liniclate, Isle of Benbecula, HS7 5PJ, United Kingdom
In The Lesson, school teacher Nadezhda (Margita Gosheva) struggles against the odds to keep her home, her family and her integrity intact. An act of theft in her classroom is just the beginning of an escalating series of challenges, as Nadezhda faces financial precarity at home that sees her seek ever more risky solutions. The ethical questions that The Lesson poses are realised with a deft naturalism of performance and rhythm that draws you in and holds you throughout.
“Writer/directors Grozeva and Valchanov keep the pace swift and the tension high in this utterly absorbing and thought-provoking drama.” – Screen Machine team

Each film has been chosen specially by one of six members from the Screen Machine team. This is an outstanding selection of international titles spanning decades, a variety of genres and innovative filmmaking styles. We’ve delved deep into our fondest memories of cinema-going to choose films that inspire, challenge and entertain. These are films we love – we hope you’ll love them too.
All films with English subtitles. Screen Machine has wheelchair access.

La Pointe Courte
2018-09-06 19:00 - 22:00 | East Sussex, United Kingdom
“I felt I needed to invent my cinema. With La Pointe Courte, I just jumped in, in the most radical fashion.”
Anticipating the style and attitude of the French New Wave by a number of years, Agnès Varda’s directorial debut remains as fresh and as original as the day it was made.
La Pointe Courte follows two different stories, a government inspector’s visit, and a couple facing the tribulations of a relationship crisis, set against the backdrop of the titular Mediterranean fishing town. Silvia Monfort and Philippe Noiret (in his onscreen debut) exceptionally play the married couple drifting through life and their relationship troubles at the forefront of the film.
Remarkably assured and insightful, the film bears the realist approach, social comment and filmmaking flair that would later become hallmarks in Varda’s filmography.
Doors from 7pm, feature starts at 7:30pm

Bristol Bad Film Club presents... SAMURAI COP - Malvern
2018-09-07 20:00 - 23:00 | Malvern Theatre, Grange Rd, Malvern, WR14 3HB, United Kingdom
Bristol Bad Film Club is going on the road… and we’re bringing Samurai Cop to Malvern!
Imagine a low-budget version of Lethal Weapon where Mel Gibson spends most of his time being racist to the Japanese, attempts to sleep with anything that moves and walks around in his pants a lot. That’s Samurai Cop, but there is so much more to this cult film than that…
Described as “both the best and the worst action film ever”, Samurai Cop is an unintentionally hilarious action film that sees San Diego cop Joe ‘Samurai’ Marshall dispatched to stop the drug-trafficking Yakuza cartel – The Katana Gang.
Made in 1990 by Iranian film maker Amir Shervan, Samurai Cop is a perfect storm of 80s cop movie cliches, over-the-top dialogue, weird editing, goofy fight scenes (that seem to constantly switch location) and a soundtrack that sounds like it belongs in a SEGA MasterSystem game.
Today, Samurai Cop is often described in the same breath as infamous ‘so bad, they’re great’ films like The Room and Birdemic: Shock and Terror and the Bristol Bad Film Club are bringing it to Coventry!
A cabal of Japanese mobsters known as the Katana Gang is taking over the streets of Los Angeles. With the regular police unable to stop them, it’s up to maverick cop Joe “the Samurai” Marshal to use his sword and martial arts expertise to bring the crooks down.
When: 8.00pm, Friday 7th September 2018
Location: Malvern Theatre, Grange Rd, Malvern WR14 3HB
Tickets: £9
“The party aspect in this movie is spectacular. From the sheer cheese of the main character’s behaviour to the gratuitous amounts of nudity, everyone is guaranteed to get a laugh, or at least an awkward boner…” BetterWithPopcorn.com
“Amazingly hamfisted ineptitude… perhaps the most god-awful example of bungled, inept action movie filmmaking of the 1980s” Brian Lindsey, Eccentric Cinema
“Defies all logic. It’s both the best and worst action movie ever” Andrew Martin, Facebook.com/AmirShervan

Joe Dante's The Movie Orgy
2018-09-09 12:00 - 18:00 | The Old Hairdressers, 20 - 28 Renfield Lane, Glasgow, G2 6PH, United Kingdom
The Movie Orgy (Joe Dante, 1968) 280 minutes
A mind-bending predecessor to the modern mash-up, The Movie Orgy is also the Rosetta Stone for Joe Dante’s oeuvre and a must-experience for movie fans and cinephiles alike.
Before The ‘Burbs, before Gremlins, before The Howling, before he started his career cutting trailers for Roger Corman, director Joe Dante made The Movie Orgy. An evolving compilation of serials, film clips, ads and film trailers, originally Dante and his collaborator Jon Davison “mixed” The Movie Orgy live, switching between two projectors to make a reactive, free-flowing, communal live experience.
This 50th anniversary screening is extremely rare, and it’s only the 4th European screening in 20 years. At its longest, it ran 7.5 hours. The current version is 4.5 hours long and screens from Dante’s own digital edit.
NB As Dante says, “You can leave the room, go out and buy popcorn or a beer, come back ten minutes later, a little more cheerful.”
This free-but-ticketed event is part of the Scalarama Glasgow 2018 programme.

Cléo from 5 to 7
2018-09-09 17:00 - 18:30 | The Old Market, 11A Upper Market Street, Hove, East Sussex, BN3 1AS, United Kingdom
Shot in Paris during the height of the Sixties, Varda’s second film Cléo from 5 to 7 tells the story of Cléo, a pop singer who passes her time drifting through different locations and conversations while awaiting the results of a vital and potentially life-changing medical examination.
A forerunner to the French New Wave, Cléo from 5 to 7 was a truly trailblazing exercise in film narrative, shot in a documentary-like fashion to capture reality as true-to-life as cinematically possible. The film also has a famous ‘silent film-within-a-film’ segment, which all film connoisseurs will love, as it contains cameos by the likes of Jean-Luc Godard and Anna Karina.
“As innovative and influential as any New Wave film”
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

The Gleaners and I
2018-09-09 19:00 - 21:00 | The Old Market, 11A Upper Market Street, Hove, East Sussex, BN3 1AS, United Kingdom
During the dawn of the digital age in the late 1990s and early 2000s, The Gleaners and Iemerged as one of the first true masterpieces to evolve from the new and (at the time) relatively unexplored format. Taken from the old pastime of gleaning (collecting leftover crops from fields after they have been harvested), Varda’s documentary focuses on modern-day gleaners, allowing these marginalised people speak for themselves and address everything from world politics to personal tragedies, whilst Varda herself questions her own morality in the process.
Part social critique, part travelogue, this eccentric and eye-opening documentary is an unsentimental celebration of human resilience and how we should look out for those who survive on the margins of society and listen to their stories without judgement.
“Of all the movies I’ve seen in the past several years, this is one of the ones I love the most”
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune

One Sings, The Other Doesn't
2018-09-10 19:00 - 21:30 | East Sussex, United Kingdom
“I’ve had friends who’ve been very important in my life. In L’Une chante, l’autre pas I’ve told their story as if it were a novel.”
After a hiatus from making feature films to focus on having a family, Varda’s return to filmmaking was largely inspired by her involvement in the French Women’s Movement of the 1970s, which left a profound affect on her. In order to share her story she chose to present the film as a musical, a genre more associated with the films of her late husband, Jacques Demy.
This feminist decade-spanning musical is a chronicle of the friendship between Suzanne (Thérèse Liotard) and Pauline (Valérie Mairesse), who first meet in 1962 when Suzanne, who is already a mother of two, decides to get an abortion. The film then jumps ten years ahead, finding the pair at very different stages in their lives, both in regards to personal growth and social change.
Doors from 7pm, feature starts at 7:30pm

More about the film:
Framed around iconic fires and labour disputes, which take in stories in Belfast, Glasgow, London and the Yorkshire region, the film narrates a rich history of trade unionism and public service over the past 100 years. It also confronts the challenges posed by governments hostile towards trade unions, including their deregulation of fire safety and imposition of austerity measures.
The film uses a mixture of location shots, talking head interviews and archival footage, and is narrated by Sue Johnston. It will appeal to audiences interested in documentary and political film-making, and the history of trade unionism, and the Fire and rescue service.

Part of the Wicked Wales Youth Film Festival
George Romero’s debut feature was not the first zombie film, but it may be the best. This story of strangers battling an invasion of the undead defined and drove the genre. Its intensity still thrills, while the unknown cast, led by Duane Jones and Judith O’Dea, carry Romero’s satirical take on the idea that home is where the heart is – something the army of remakes and homages have never matched.
Part of Scalarama’s Uprising strand, celebrating 50 years since 1968, with the film selected by Wicked Cinema’s young programmers.
