Love (Szerelem) (PG) | Monday Night Film Club

Károly Makk's beloved film, based on the autobiographical writings of Tibor Déry, is a meditation on time, memory, love and loss.

His elderly mother believes him to be working abroad; his devoted wife knows the painful truth of his absence… and fears she may never see him alive again.

Beautifully played by two giants of Hungarian cinema, Lili Darvas and Mari Törõcsik, the film is a subtle yet powerful exploration of how love sustains life, even in times of fear and uncertainty. Perfectly realised, with luminous cinematography and innovative editing, Makk’s tender masterpiece is a landmark of international cinema. In Hungarian and German with English subtitles.

An unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Nosferatu (1922) is the quintessential silent vampire film, crafted by legendary German director F. W. Murnau. Rather than depicting Dracula as a shape-shifting monster or debonair gentleman, Murnau’s Graf Orlok (as portrayed by Max Schreck) is a nightmarish, spidery creature of bulbous head and taloned claws — perhaps the most genuinely disturbing incarnation of vampirism yet envisioned.

Don’t miss out on the chance to experience this imaginative new take on an iconic horror classic! The feature will include a 2 minute intro from Josh Frank, creator of Silent Synced.

Islands (15) | Monday Night Film Club

When an English couple (Stacy Martin and Jack Farthing) arrive, their presence sets off a chain of events that leads to a mysterious disappearance.

Sorry, Baby (15)

Something bad happened to Agnes. But life goes on… for everyone around her, at least. 

Blending heartache, humour and healing, SORRY, BABY is the stunning and star-making debut from director, writer and actor Eva Victor, also starring Naomi Ackie and Lucas Hedges.  

As sharp as it is tender, SORRY, BABY is a quietly powerful tale of seizing back your footing after pain, and of the friendships that sustain you along the way. An authentic, bitingly funny drama that marks the arrival of a brilliant new voice in cinema.

 ★★★★ "Sharply written, smartly structured and well-acted, with a star-making turn from Victor herself...bitingly funny" - The Guardian

EVENT CINEMA Andrea Bocelli: Because I Believe (U)

One of the world’s greatest singers, Andrea Bocelli has a voice that transcends genres and generations. In this intimate portrait of the acclaimed Italian tenor, Bocelli, for the first time, tells his story in his own words. 

Documentarian Cosima Spender follows Bocelli with unprecedented access beyond the footlights to reveal an uncompromising artist and devoted family man with a fearless passion for living. Despite losing his sight at age 12, Bocelli dedicated his life to music and after years spent entertaining customers in piano bars, caught the attention of the legendary Luciano Pavarotti, who heard Bocelli’s voice on a demo tape. Bocelli’s life changed dramatically with the worldwide smash hit “Time to Say Goodbye,” his astonishing duet with Sarah Brightman that catapulted him to superstardom. With hard-fought technical mastery of his voice and his decades-long love of opera — “music’s heaven” — Bocelli would go on to perform on the world’s most prestigious stages and with diverse singing partners such as Céline Dion, Jennifer Lopez, and Dua Lipa. Through interviews, archival performance footage, and informal gatherings with family and friends, Andrea Bocelli: Because I Believe celebrates the voice — and man — who continues to touch the hearts of millions of listeners around the world.

Freedom to Run (N/C 12+) plus Director Q&A

Palestinians in the West Bank cannot travel more than 10 kilometres without being stopped by Israeli restrictions. ‘Freedom to Run’ follows Palestinian running group ‘Right to Movement’ and a group from Glasgow as they train for and run, both the Palestine and Edinburgh marathons. Whilst in Palestine, the Scottish runners learn about the impact of the restrictions on everyday life, and that something as universal as running is a far from easy task. The runners discover that they are not so different, but that they live very different lives.

There will be a Q&A with filmmaker Dr Cairsti Russell after the screening. Cairsti Russell is a sociologist, runner, and one of the filmmakers behind Freedom to Run. Cairsti, who also features as a runner in the documentary, felt compelled to make the film after being confronted with the reality of life in Palestine when she first visited in 2012.
