Her
Monday 3 – Thursday 6 March
Set in the not-so-distant future, an LA loner (Joaquin Phoenix) falls in love with an operating
system named ‘Samantha’. He and his computer crush (played by Scarlett Johansson, possibly
the most sultry set of vocal chords in Hollywood) can go on dates by means of an earpiece, the
socialising tool through which inhabitants of this technologically-dependant future communicate.
Witty and often beautiful, Spike Jonze’s latest film is a rumination on a new breed of loneliness
that may come hand-in-hand with the technological advancements of the 21st Century.

Tim’s Vermeer
Monday 3 – Thursday 6 March
Long before the invention of photography, Dutch master Johannes Vermeer was painting
extraordinarily photo-realistic works, and just how he did so remains one of art’s biggest
questions today. In this fascinating, BAFTA nominated documentary, inventor Tim Jenison
seeks answers in a pursuit that takes him from Texas to Holland and even Buckingham Palace.
An absorbing exploration of art’s relationship with technology, the film asks deeper questions
of obsession and the creative process as Jenison tries to replicate the Dutchman’s incredible,
light-filled work using an engineer’s approach.

Stranger by the Lake L’inconnu du lac
Friday 7 – Thursday 13 March
When Franck meets the mysterious Michel, he immediately finds his himself infatuated with
the handsome stranger. However his desire soon turns to a disquieting fear as the gay cruising
spot they regularly frequent becomes a crime scene with Michel at the centre. Winner of both the
Queer Palm and Best Director at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, this astonishingly frank portrayal
of carnal love and savage mortality is a beautifully realised labyrinthine thriller from one of the
most unique voices in modern French cinema. GFF14

The Grand Budapest Hotel
Friday 7 – Thursday 20 March
The Grand Budapest Hotel is one of Wes Anderson’s most ambitious creations, reflecting the
political turmoil and social upheaval of Europe between the wars through the hectic lives of
the staff and guests at one of the most famous hotels on the continent. There is a hint of the
bittersweet romanticism of Ernst Lubitsch, the freewheeling comedy of the Marx Brothers
and the melancholy of a Dostoevsky novel all wrapped in the gorgeous production design
and attention to detail that have become Anderson trademarks. GFF14

Friday 21 – Thursday 3 April
A complex father/son relationship is viewed through a brutal depiction of prison life in Starred Up,
one of the most powerful and assured films of David Mackenzie’s career. Jack O’Connell gives an
extraordinary performance as Eric, a young offender so aggressive and unpredictable that he is
prematurely moved to an adult prison. His fellow inmates include the father he hasn’t seen since
he was five. An increasingly tense situation ensues in which Eric fights to be true to himself. GFF14

Salvo
Friday 21 – Thursday 27 March
Winner of the Critics Week Grand Prix at Cannes, Salvo is like a cool, slow-burning Sicilian
homage to Jean-Pierre Melville’s Le Samourai. Salvo (Saleh Bakri) is a ruthless Mafia assassin.
When he is ambushed by a rival mob, he sets out to kill the man responsible. It is the beginning
of events that are to change his life and melt his cold, cold heart. An assured debut from directors
Fabio Grassadonia and Antonio Piazza, Salvo offers an intense, unsettling saga of redemption.

12Yves Saint Laurent
From Friday 28 March
French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent is stunningly portrayed in this evocative biopic that charts
twenty years of the prodigal creative’s life. Pierre Niney perfectly embodies the lanky physicality, artistic
determination and pathological shyness of the icon; each and every frame is faultless and brings
Laurent to life. A touching and exciting look at the early life and love of the genius, the film gives
an impressive insight into the relationship between success, talent, beauty and art. GFF14

The Godfather Part II
Monday 3 – Thursday 6 March
Francis Ford Coppola’s legendary follow up to his landmark 1972 film, The Godfather, is at once
prequel and sequel; continuing the story of Michael Corleone, whilst also travelling back in time to
early twentieth-century Sicily where his father, Vito Corleone, flees the local Mafia and escapes to
New York. Paralleling the young Vito Corleone’s rise with his son Michael’s spiritual fall, Coppola
portrays the many pitfalls of the American dream. Nominated for eleven Academy Awards
and winner of six, this crime epic is considered one of the greatest American films ever made.

Monday 31 March (18.15)
Los Angeles based independent music label Stones Throw Records
has been gaining momentum in the past two decades for steadily
signing some of the most interesting, esoteric and often abrasive acts
in underground music. At first focusing solely on hip-hop, the label has
since branched into a variety of different genres – becoming a haven for
fans of left-field music. Focusing on the man at the centre of it all, Chris

Family Life
Tuesday 18 March (20.30)
Ken Loach’s award-winning feature, Family Life, follows the fate of
nineteen-year-old Janice (Sandy Ratcliff), who loses her right to self-
determination after she becomes pregnant. Once her parents force her
to have an abortion, Janice’s troubling behaviour comes under further
scrutiny, culminating in electro-convulsive therapy which eventually
reduces her to little more than a case study for medical students.
Filmed in a quasi documentary style, this socially conscious drama is a
sobering reflection on class, social convention and the generation gap.

Sunday 30 March (19.45)
Henri-Georges Clouzot’s lost masterpiece Inferno is the subject of
Serge Bromberg and Ruxandra Medrea’s documentary, which attempts
to discover why the big budget feature film was halted only three weeks
into its production. Including interviews with members of the cast and
crew and with excerpts from the surviving footage, the documentary
demonstrates how the director’s growing ego and flagging health
jeopardized this tale of sexual jealousy and psychological instability.
Introduced by Ela Orleans. Ela Orleans is a Polish musician and
filmmaker, now based in Glasgow. She has composed film scores
and describes her own music as ‘movies for ears.’

Tuesday 25 March (18.25)
Godard’s first feature film, with its provocative cinematography and

The cult status of À bout de souffle has been propelled in part by the
memorable coupling of its leading actors, Jean-Paul Belmondo and
Jean Seberg, whose story on screen seemed to portray the troubled
love affair between French cinema and Hollywood.
Selected and introduced by Ramona Fotiade, a Senior Lecturer
in French Cinema at the University of Glasgow and the author

experiment of functioning one year without running water or electricity.

Cardinale’s steely, neurotic Sandra returns to her home-town of Volterra
in Tuscany, accompanied by her new husband Andrew (Michael Craig).
Confronted upon their arrival by a distraught mother, a former lover and

melodrama with strong echoes of Tennessee Williams.

Daniele Luchetti (My Brother is an Only Child) returns to his childhood in

Rossi Stuart is superb as Guido, a pretentious sculptor who is rather
too fond of his beautiful life models. When his long-suffering wife
Serena leaves for the summer with their sons, her decision to assert her
independence offends Guido’s old-fashioned chauvinism. The tension

Mario Monicelli’s masterpiece shared the Golden Lion at Venice in

from Milan and Oreste from Rome are called up to join the army.
They are united in their desire to stay out of the firing line and live
to see peace. At first they are dispatched to the quiet village of Tigliano
where Giovanni falls in love with prostitute Costantina. Gradually, the
heat of war inches towards them in a film that deftly walks the fine

social changes that buffet the country. Elio Germano gives a heartfelt
