SUMMARY:Misericordia (15) (Preview) (Borderlines Film Festival)
DESCRIPTION:Director: Alain Guiraudie\nStarring: Félix Kysyl\, Catherine Frot\, Jacques Develay\nFrance/Spain/Portugal\, 2024\, 1 hour 43 minutes\, French + English subtitles \nReturning to a small town in southwestern France for the funeral of his former boss\, Jérémie’s stay with widow Martine becomes embroiled in a disappearance\, homoerotic intrigue and threat\, and a mushroom-foraging abbot. \nPersonable Jérémie finds himself back home in the country and the sexual possibilities in this strange\, earthy place are seemingly endless: his antagonistic\, prize-fighting pal Vincent\,\nthe still attractive\, elegant Martine\, grungy neighbour Walter\, and a horny\, mushroomforaging abbot. Deceptively perhaps\, Jérémie is not quite the passive\, obliging young man that he seems in this offbeat\, darkly and defiantly queer vision of French provincialism. \nPreview courtesy of New Wave Films. \nShow times\n*Film starts at advertised time*\nSunday 2nd March at 7.30pm – CINEMA\nTuesday 4th March at 8.15pm – CINEMA\nWednesday 5th March at 4.15pm – FORUM

SUMMARY:Vermiglio (15) (Borderlines Film Festival)
DESCRIPTION:Director: Maura Delpero\nStarring: Giuseppe De Domenico\, Tommaso Ragno\, Martina Scrinzi\, Roberta Rovelli\nItaly/France/Belgium\, 2024\, 1 hour 59 minutes\, Italian + English subtitles \nUnfolding against the stunning backdrop of the Italian Alps\, Maura Delpero’s award-winning period drama is a hauntingly beautiful tale of family life torn apart. \n1944. In the remote mountain village of Vermiglio\, the war is a distant but constant threat. The family routine of local teacher Cesare is disrupted by the arrival of refugee soldier Pietro who’s drawn instantly to the eldest daughter Lucia. Shifts in the cyclical customs of a fading era occur only gradually in such a location but the close of war brings dramatic changes to this contained community. \nFilmed with painterly grace\, there’s something reminiscent of the great films of Italian neorealism\, in this detailed and compassionate depiction of the world of a family. \nSilver Lion Grand Jury Prize\, Venice Film Festival 2024 \nShortlisted for International Feature Film Oscar (Italy) \nShow times\n*Film starts at advertised time\nMonday 3rd March at 5.15pm – CINEMA\nWednesday 5th March at 7.30pm – FORUM

SUMMARY:Hard Truths (12A) (Borderlines Film Festival)
DESCRIPTION:Director: Mike Leigh\nStarring: Marianne Jean-Baptiste\, Michele Austin\, David Webber\, Tuwaine Barrett\, Ani Nelson\nUK\, 2024\, 1 hour 37 minutes\nAD Audio description available\nDS Descriptive subtitles: Thursday 6th March at 4pm \nMike Leigh returns with a fierce\, compassionate and darkly funny character study. \nAngry\, depressed and wracked by fear\, Pansy (BAFTA-winner Jean-Baptiste) lashes out at family and strangers alike. She simply cannot help herself. Her constant criticism isolates her from others save her warm\, easy-going sister Chantal who remains sympathetic despite their clashing temperaments. Inverting the optimism of Leigh’s Happy-Go-Lucky\, this rich and expansive film from a master dramatist explores family\, sisterhood and the enduring mysteries of character. \nThe screening on Saturday is sponsored by Simon Payton \nShow times\n*Film starts at advertised time*\nFriday 28th February at 5pm\nSaturday 1st March at 1.15pm\nThursday 6th March at 4pm (with Descriptive Subtitles)\nVenue: Cinema

SUMMARY:When Autumn Falls (15) (Preview) (Borderlines Film Festival)
DESCRIPTION:Director: François Ozon\,\nStarring: Hélène Vincent\, Josiane Balasko\nFrance\, 2024\, 1 hour 43 minutes\, French + English subtitles \nEver-inventive\, French auteur François Ozon (8 Women\, Swimming Pool\, Potiche\, Frantz) returns with a twisty\, bittersweet story about age\, youth\, the past and the art of breaking the rules. \nIn a picturesque Burgundy village\, Michelle is enjoying what looks like blissful rural retirement close to her old friend Marie-Claude. But tensions with the younger generation – between Michelle and her own hostile daughter and the return of Marie-Claude’s scoundrel of a son – cause ructions. \nA straightforward character portrait and tense drama with a thriller element turns into something else as secrets from the past make their way to the surface. Elegant\, slippery storytelling\, daring tonal shifts and a wonderful lead performance from Vincent make this a delightful offering. \nPreview courtesy of Parkland Entertainment \nShow times\n*Film starts at advertised time*\nSaturday 2nd March at 12.30pm\nThursday 6th March at 7.15pm\nVenue: Cinema

SUMMARY:Flow (U) (Preview) (Borderlines Film Festival)
DESCRIPTION:Director: Gints Zilbalodis\nBelgium/France/Latvia\, 2024\, 1 hour 24 minutes\, no dialogue\nR Relaxed screening: Saturday 8th March at 11am \nIn the face of a devastating flood\, the solitary Cat embarks on a bold adventure that pushes both humans and dialogue out of the frame. \nIn a mysterious\, unearthly environment\, rendered in a distinctive 3D animation style\, Cat forges bonds with other creatures\, all imbued with a rare specificity of character\, despite never uttering a word. As with last year’s Robot Dreams\, the power of animation to tell universal\, emotionally piercing stories about our connections with others is unparalleled. It’s a treat not only for cat lovers (who will find themselves utterly charmed)\, but for anyone who loves to be dazzled by the incredible scope of animation. \nShortlisted for International Feature Film Oscar (Latvia). \nPreview courtesy of Curzon Film. \nShow times\n*Film starts at advertised time*\nSunday 2nd March at 1.30pm\nFriday 7th March at 4.30pm\nSaturday 8th March at 11am (Relaxed Screening)

Full of fire\, fury and devotion\, Natalie Haynes brings the divine women of Olympus kicking and screaming into the modern age. \nFew modern writers have reshaped our view of the ancient Greek myths more than revered bestselling author Natalie Haynes.

SUMMARY:The AI Revolution: How It Happened and What It Means (Festival of Ideas)
DESCRIPTION:Artificial Intelligence has gone viral. ChatGPT\, the world’s first mass-market general-purpose AI tool\, acquired 100 million users in a few weeks. But why did a technology 70 years in the making finally take off? And what does it all mean – should we be excited\, afraid – or both? \nWhile AI has been a notable and much-talked-about emerging technology for at least a decade\, the rate of progress in the past few years has been remarkable – and possibly unsettling. Generative AI\, most prominently in the form of Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT\, has gone viral\, making it the first general purpose AI technology to reach a global audience. In this talk\, Michael Wooldridge will explain what generative AI and how is it different\, as well as ask why generative AI has taken off now. Michael will consider the capabilities of generative AI now\, and how they could evolve\, and the implications for all of us. \nSuitable for: age 12 years and up.

SUMMARY:Human Rights: The Case for the Defence (Festival of Ideas)
DESCRIPTION:On International Women’s Day\, join two feminist icons\, Baroness Hale of Richmond and Baroness Chakrabarti\, as they discuss justice\, rights and free speech.\nAfter the devastation of the Second World War\, the international community came together to enshrine fundamental rights to refuge\, health\, education and living standards\, for privacy\, fair trials and free speech\, and outlawing torture\, slavery and discrimination. Their aim was greater global justice\, equality\, and peace. That settlement is now in danger\, attacked by opponents from across the political spectrum and populist and authoritarian movements worldwide. We are threatened by wars\, inequality\, new technologies and climate catastrophe\, and we need our human rights now more than ever. In her powerful\, accessible book\, Shami Chakrabarti\, lawyer\, parliamentarian and leading British human rights defender\, shows us why human rights are essential for our future. \nIn this session\, Brenda Hale and Shami Chakrabarti provide an indispensable guide to the law and logic underpinning human dignity and universal freedoms. They will engage both sceptics and supporters\, equipping believers in the battle of ideas and persuading doubters to think again. For human rights to survive\, they must be far better understood by everyone. \nSuitable for: age 12 years and up.

SUMMARY:The Future Ain’t What It Used To Be (Festival of Ideas)
DESCRIPTION:Mark Lewney delivers his amazing physics show – it’s about futurism and the physics of predicting the future\, in which Uncertainty plays a starring role. \nWhy aren’t astrologers rich? Surely\, the horoscope of a footballer would tell them how to win a game? The science of foretelling the future has changed dramatically over the centuries\, so how is it that we can predict some things\, such as  total eclipses\, but not others? Guitar physicist\, Dr Mark Lewney\, presents ‘a history of the future’\, beginning with films such as 2001 Space Odyssey and Back To The Future 2. Mark will explain in understandable language what chaos theory and quantum physics are\, and how these mind-blowing theories prevent us from predicting everyday life. He will look at the evolution of science and technology and how\, with the development of supermaterials such as graphene\, our future may change completely. Even though we cannot be sure exactly what the future holds\, we do know that it is going to be very exciting when we get there! \n Suitable for: age 12 years and up

DESCRIPTION:Join geneticist and broadcaster\, Adam Rutherford\, as he takes his genetics shears and history axe in hand and pollards\, prunes and chops down some of the (genealogy\, family and evolution) trees we take for granted\, and plants much better ones. \nThe tree of life is the most wondrous demonstration of evolution in all its magnificent splendour. Except it’s not a tree at all. Genealogy and family trees are the ties that bind us to our ancestors\, descendants and local history. They’re not trees either. And the story of human evolution is our species’s family tree: guess what? Also not a tree. The whole of life on Earth is a tangled bank\, and it can be guaranteed that in this talk you will discover your royal heritage. \nWarning: contains a small bit of maths.

SUMMARY:Monstrous Anger of the Guns (Malvern Festival of Ideas)
DESCRIPTION:We are seeing injustices caused by war and occupation unfold in real-time via social media\, and we are speaking out in our millions against these horrors. Yet\, from Gaza to Ukraine\, the bombs continue to fall. We must understand why this is happening if we are to end it. \nMonstrous Anger of the Guns lays bare the dark and deceitful world of the global arms trade\, which\, often funded in our name\, is a business that counts its profits in billions and its losses in human lives. Leading activists and campaigners connect the dots\, showing how notions of citizenship\, democracy and trust in governments are misguided\, and how we can fight back by building mass movements\, using direct action and legal justice to end the flow of weapons and the environmental and human devastation they bring. \nIn this session\, Jeremy Corbyn\, Founder of the Peace and Justice Project\, exposes the ‘market of death’ and tells the stories of a diverse range of inspiring campaigns from around the world opposing militarism and the arms trade that feeds it. \nSuitable for: All ages

SUMMARY:X Marks the Spot (Festival of Ideas)
DESCRIPTION:Unearthing the physical remains of our past is a quintessential human itch – seen in every society from the ancients through to today. But the stories behind archaeological exploration and discovery – what we seek when\, what we end up finding\, and what we then do with it – tell us as much about ourselves today as they do about the past. \nThrough sensational stories of discovery\, Professor Michael Scott explores the evolution of modern archaeology from colonial expeditions to today’s cutting-edge science\, revealing traps\, curses and buried treasure along the way. We uncover why different periods and places have caught our attention and imaginations at different points in history. We meet the characters\, some celebrated and some forgotten\, who made world-famous discoveries like the Rosetta Stone\, the Terracotta Warriors and Machu Picchu. We consider ancient human footprints\, astounding shipwrecks\, mythical princesses and surprising rituals as insights into the wonders of past civilisations. And we explore how archaeological discoveries have often become emblems of modern fascinations and dilemmas.

SUMMARY:On Voice and the Feeling of Truth (Malvern Festival of Ideas)
DESCRIPTION:Join novelist\, poet and playwright Owen Sheers as he concludes our weekend with readings and conversation around his attempts to move beyond a partial truth through engaging with ideas of hybridity\, lyricism and voice. \nIn this final session of the 2025 event\, Professor Owen Sheers will read from three of his recent works\, the verse-drama Pink Mist and the BBC film-poems The Green Hollow and To Provide All People. His reading will be interspersed with conversation about the creative processes involved in creating these works\, all three of which engage with ideas of hybridity\, lyricism and voice to try and move beyond a partial ‘knowing’ of the truth towards a fuller ‘feeling’ of it. Blending documentary and poetic devices\, Owen uses the voices of characters informed by multiple interviews to create communal works that address such subjects as the aftermath of conflict\, the Aberfan disaster\, and the NHS. The nature of such subjects is that the truth of individual experience at their core is often anonymised in more general public narratives. By shaping his writing around composite characters\, many voices and alternating perspectives\, Owen is able to write in counterflow to this anonymisation\, engaging rhythm\, rhyme and imagery to create a strangely intimate lyrical distance through which the gap between a reader and the experiences they are reading is\, paradoxically\, narrowed to great emotional effect. \nSuitable for: 12 years and up

SUMMARY:Architecton (U) (Borderlines Film Festival)
DESCRIPTION:Director: Victor Kossakovsky\nFrance/Germany/USA\, 2024\, 1 hour 38 minutes\, English/Italian + English subtitles \nThe latest film from master documentarian Victor Kossakovsky (Gunda\, Aquarela) is an epic\, intimate\, and poetic meditation on architecture. \nMonumental in scale and vision and largely without narration\, it’s an absorbing journey that takes us from tomb-like Ukrainian cities through mind-boggling modern quarrying and construction methods to an ancient stone monolith in Lebanon. With architect Michele De Lucchi as our occasional guide\, it manages to ask searching questions about our short-sighted use of natural resources: how do we build\, and how can we build better – before it’s too late? \n“Blatantly dazzling\, epic-scale filmmaking” Guy Lodge\, Variety \nShow Times\n*Film starts at advertised time*\nTuesday 11th March at 11am – CINEMA\nThursday 13th March at 1.15pm – FORUM
