This is a special centenary edition of Sergei Eisenstein’s legendary Battleship Potemkin featuring the celebrated score by Pet Shop Boys. A fixture in the critical canon almost since its premiere, Eisenstein’s film about a 1905 naval mutiny was revolutionary in both form and content. Battleship Potemkin is renowned for its dynamic compositional strength and editing of such frame-perfect precision that it’s hard not to be swept along. First revealed at a special outdoor screening in front of an estimated 25,000 in Trafalgar Square in 2004, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe’s score, performed with the Dresdner Sinfoniker and orchestrated by Torsten Rasch, blends electronic beats with orchestral grandeur to create a contemporary cinematic experience.

York - Thursday 4th Sept + Live panel with Right to Roam Amy-Jane Beer - Right to Roam campaigner and author of The Flow: rivers, water and wildness Rachael Bice - CEO of Yorkshire Wildlife Trust Sarah Banks - author of Wild Swimming Walks Yorkshire Charlotte Sawyer - Director, Rave on for the Avon When the water company and local authorities fail the community, the wild swimmers of Bristol fight back through activism, swimming like a mermaid and getting married. Do humans have the right to nature? In this tender film, director Charlotte Sawyer tells a story of a community of wild swimmers in Bristol (UK) affected by raw sewage pollution of the river Avon.

When an ambitious experiment between a textile activist and a celebrity clothier meets inevitable challenges, one woman is propelled into an initiation that makes British fashion history. With a community of volunteers, they envisioned homegrown jeans sold through a social enterprise—but their work exposed uncomfortable truths about the systems controlling industry. Despite its sophistication, the U.K. can no longer produce clothing without importing materials or causing harm. In a country buying 70 million pairs a year, Woman Grows Jeans journeys into our resilient ancestry to reclaim the care and agency that’s key to regeneration. After 600 hours, the UK’s only pair of homegrown jeans were handmade—not as a relic, but as a provocative signpost toward the future our hearts know is possible. A celebration of the traditional skills that reconnect us to nature’s wisdom, this documentary proves that the power to create change is still in our hands.

In advance of the UK premiere of the film’s sequel, SPIT, the London Australian Film Society is proud to present a rare screening of cult Aussie heist comedy, GETTIN’ SQUARE, starring David Wenham in the role of junkie no-hoper, Johnny ‘Spit’ Spiteri. Released on parole, small-time crook Barry (Sam Worthington - Avatar) re-enters the world with good intentions, but finding a job is difficult with a prison record. Struggling to keep his kid brother or his friend (Wenham) out of crime, he takes a kitchen job with a notorious restaurateur Darren ‘Dabba’ Barrington (Timothy Spall), and quickly finds himself falling back into his old ways, and the classic trap of pulling ‘one last job’. Amid this Guy-Ritchie-on-Gold-Coast heist comedy, it was Wenham’s scene-stealing performance - from the jeans and flip-flops combo, to the film’s legendary courtroom scene - that would inspire a belated sequel. That film, SPIT, will screen after GETTIN’ SQUARE, with an in-person Q&A with producer and star, David Wenham. Australian snacks and sweets will be on sale, and a raffle will take place before the screening. With thanks to Park Circus, Universal and Working Title.
The London Australian Film Society is proud to present the UK Premiere of SPIT, and an in-person Q&A with the film’s producer and star, David Wenham. In this long-awaited sequel to cult favourite GETTIN’ SQUARE, notorious no-hoper Johnny ‘Spit’ Spiteri heads home to Queensland after more than twenty years in exile, only to have his fake passport land him in an immigration detention centre. Taking it upon himself to educate his fellow detainees about all things Australian, Spit soon attracts the attention of the authorities, all of whom have old scores to settle. Wenham’s comic chops are on full display once again, with snappy direction, more great writing, and a fabulous supporting cast helping him to cement Spit as one of Australian cinema’s most enduring larrikins.

One of the screen's grandest epics, this monumental story recounts the true life experiences of T.E. Lawrence, better known to the world as Lawrence of Arabia. A young, idealistic British officer in WWI, Lawrence (Peter O'Toole) is assigned to the camp of Prince Feisal (Alec Guinness), an Arab tribal chieftain and leader in a revolt against the Turks. In a series of brilliant tactical maneuvers, Lawrence leads fifty of Feisal's men in a tortured three week crossing of the Nefud Desert to attack the strategic Turkish held port of Aqaba. And following his successful raids against Turkish troops and trains, Lawrence's triumphant leadership and unyielding courage gain him nearly god-like status among his Arab brothers. With Oscar winning cinematography, magnificent locations, Maurice Jarre's famed score and a screenplay based on Lawrence's own writings, David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia is a masterpiece. Over the years the film was heavily cut, but in 1988 a reconstruction of the film was undertaken. David Lean and original editor Anne V. Coates then worked on the film to create Lean's Director's Cut. It is this version that has now been lovingly digitally restored by Sony Pictures Entertainment, ensuring that the film will be seen as it was meant to be, for the first time since its initial release. The film will also be screened in its original roadshow format, with an overture, intermission, entr'acte and exit music.

Next summer, three years after the Jurassic World trilogy concluded with each film surpassing $1 billion at the global box office, the enduring Jurassic series evolves in an ingenious new direction with Jurassic World Rebirth. Anchored by iconic action superstar Scarlett Johansson, breakthrough talent Jonathan Bailey and two-time Oscar® winner Mahershala Ali, this action-packed new chapter sees an intrepid team racing to secure DNA samples from the three most colossal creatures across land, sea and air. Also starring acclaimed international stars Rupert Friend and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, the film is directed by dynamic visualist Gareth Edwards (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) from a script by original Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp. Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, the planet’s ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived. The three most colossal creatures within that tropical biosphere hold the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind. Academy Award® nominee Johansson plays skilled covert operations expert Zora Bennett, contracted to lead a skilled team on a top-secret mission to secure genetic material from the world’s three most massive dinosaurs. When Zora’s operation intersects with a civilian family whose boating expedition was capsized by marauding aquatic dinos, they all find themselves stranded on an island where they come face-to-face with a sinister, shocking discovery that’s been hidden from the world for decades. Ali is Duncan Kincaid, Zora’s most trusted team leader; Emmy nominee and Olivier Award winner Jonathan Bailey (Wicked, Bridgerton) plays paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis; Emmy nominee Rupert Friend (Homeland, Obi-Wan Kenobi) appears as Big Pharma representative Martin Krebs and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo (The Lincoln Lawyer, Murder on the Orient Express) plays Reuben Delgado, the father of the shipwrecked civilian family.

The film also features, as members of Zora and Krebs’ crews, Philippine Velge (Station Eleven), Bechir Sylvain (BMF) and Ed Skrein (Deadpool). Jurassic World Rebirth is directed by BAFTA winner Edwards from a script by Koepp (War of the Worlds), based on characters created by Michael Crichton. The film is produced by Oscar® nominee Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley, both longtime Jurassic franchise producers and of this summer’s blockbuster, Twisters.

Washed ashore in Scotland on a blood stained rowing boat, a young woman suffering from severe memory loss appears to be the sole survivor of a doomed trans-Atlantic World Record attempt. With all of her crew mates missing, presumed dead, she must try and piece together her fractured memories of the ordeal in order to prove her innocence. However, the truth is never simple. As a local DCI attempts to uncover what really happened on board the doomed vessel, memories emerge that point suspicion towards a mysterious crew member thought to be harbouring a dark secret, whilst other clues suggest that the boat was being deliberately sabotaged. The story that comes together is one of paranoia, continuous sleep deprivation and loss of trust among the crew, in a battle for survival not just against the unforgiving ocean, but against one another. A tense and claustrophobic psychological thriller, set against the cinematic backdrop of the North Atlantic ocean and the Scottish island of Hoy, Row stars Sophie Skelton (Outlander, Stalker), Bella Dayne (Troy: Fall of a City, Girl You Know It’s True), Akshay Khanna (Polite Society, Red, White & Royal Blue) and Mark Strepan (Call the Midwife, Casualty).
