ACT I In the village square, preparations are under way for the wedding of Elvino and Amina, a village favorite. Only Lisa, the practical-minded innkeeper, who was once engaged to Elvino herself, is unhappy. Amina enters and expresses her happiness and gratitude to all and especially to Teresa, who brought her up after she was orphaned (“Come per me sereno”). Elvino rushes in late for the contract signing and offers a bouquet of violets to Amina in apology, then gives her a ring that belonged to his mother (Duet: “Prendi, l’anel ti dono”). Suddenly, a stranger arrives—Count Rodolfo in disguise. After accepting Lisa’s offer to spend the night at the inn he declares his love for this place that he has not seen in years (“Vi ravviso, o luoghi ameni”). Noticing Amina, he is struck by her resemblance to a great love of his youth. As it grows dark, the villagers become apprehensive and Teresa explains to the stranger that a ghost haunts the town. Amused, the stranger says he’d like to see the ghost, then departs, followed by the villagers. Alone, Elvino and Amina quarrel over the count’s attentions to Amina, but Elvino soon apologizes for his jealousy (Duet: “Son geloso del zeffiro errante”). At the inn, Lisa has identified the stranger as the lost heir of the former local count. The two of them flirt, when suddenly there is a noise and Lisa hides in the closet, dropping her handkerchief. Amina enters, walking in her sleep. Rodolfo realizes that she must be the village “ghost.” Lisa, however, assumes Amina is coming to meet Rodolfo as a lover and slips away. Moved by her unconscious expressions of love for Elvino, Rodolfo leaves Amina innocently asleep on his bed. Unfortunately, the ever-inquisitive villagers choose this moment to come sneaking in to get another look at the stranger. Lisa appears with Elvino and Teresa, and everyone is shocked to find Amina in the count’s bed. Awakened by the commotion, the girl protests her innocence (“D’un pensiero e d’un accento”). For a moment, the entire village seems heartbroken over Amina’s betrayal, but soon rage sets in. In spite of Teresa’s pleas and Amina’s protestations, Elvino calls off the wedding and, with the rest of the village, turns on Amina (“Non più nozze”) In the ensuing chaos, Teresa picks up Lisa’s handkerchief. ACT II Feeling repentant, the villagers walk through a wood to Count Rodolfo’s castle, to speak to him regarding Amina’s case. Amina and Teresa enter and overhear Elvino lamenting (“Tutto è sciolto”). When he sees Amina, he reproaches her again and takes his ring from her. The villagers return to say that Rodolfo has confirmed Amina’s innocence and is on his way, but Elvino refuses to see his “rival” and leaves in despair. Amina is led away by Teresa. Elvino has decided to marry Lisa after all. He enters to lead her to church, but they are interrupted by the arrival of Rodolfo, who again proclaims Amina’s innocence, explaining to the incredulous crowd that she was only sleepwalking. Teresa appears, asking for quiet, since Amina has fallen asleep from exhaustion. She is shocked to see that Lisa is about to marry Elvino, who replies that Lisa was not found in another man’s room. When Teresa produces the handkerchief, Elvino realizes that Lisa has lied to him. Suddenly Amina appears, sleepwalking at a great height along a treacherous ledge. Afraid of waking her, the villagers watch and pray for her as she slowly reaches safety. Still asleep, Amina mourns the loss of Elvino, remembering the flowers he gave her that have since faded, and searching for her lost ring (“Ah! non credea mirarti”). Convinced of her innocence and unable to watch her suffer any longer, Elvino puts the ring back on her finger. Waking, Amina’s embarrassment turns to joy when she realizes that her dream has come true.

Adapted from Ken Kesey’s novel, the film centres on Randle McMurphy (Nicholson), a convict who simulates mental illness in the hope that a transfer to psychiatric hospital might ensure his early release. But he hasn’t bargained for the rigid regimen of Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher, also superb), who dislikes his disruptive — though he’d say liberating — effect on the ward. Inspired casting (Danny DeVito, Brad Dourif and Christopher Lloyd are among the patients) and Forman’s naturalistic direction lend authenticity to the proceedings, so that the film succeeds both as anti-authoritarian parable and as an affecting reminder of the psychiatric practices of the past.

Every screening will be followed by in conversations with the film directors and producers and Tom Hunter from Photomonth. Wayfaring Stranger charts the life of an itinerant character, embodied by seven per formers, across seven days, representing seven decades. Running from the city, through post-industrial edge lands and manicured enclaves, they find themselves in forests, farms, mountains and the shore. Along the way, they undergo a transformation, through the seasons and changing geography, both physically and emotionally, from youth to elderhood, and from a single, alienated being into an accepted element of the wider world. Each ‘day ’ is a ‘station’ that signifies a turning point in a character’s emotional development : from escape, through loss, grief and waywardness, to solidarity and co-existence.
This thrilling debut from director Carmen Emmi is a brooding psychological drama starring Russell Tovey and Tom Blyth, who meet under complicated circumstances. It took home the Dramatic Special Jury Award for Ensemble Cast when it premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. Andrew (Tovey) is illicitly cruising the bathrooms of a strip mall when he meets Lucas (Blyth), who is an undercover cop on an assignment to catch and arrest men just like him. But something happens when they meet, and an instant connection is formed between them, causing Lucas to abort his professional mission. The encounter throws Lucas off-kilter, and he’s forced to confront long-buried desires he’s tried so hard to suppress. In an attempt to reckon with them, what follows is a thrilling game of cat and mouse that threatens to upend both men’s lives for good. Harnessing lo-fi VHS footage to play with voyeuristic, tense notions of surveillance, the film is a story of forbidden love that speaks to pertinent themes of state surveillance and societal intolerance. Plainclothes contains a sequence of flashing lights, which may affect viewers with photosensitive epilepsy.

While protecting his village from a rampaging boar-god, the young warrior Ashitaka becomes afflicted with a deadly curse. To find the cure that will save his life, he journeys deep into the sacred depths of the Great Forest Spirit’s realm where he meets San (Princess Mononoke), a girl raised by wolves. It’s not long before Ashitaka is caught in the middle of a battle between iron-ore prospecting humans and the forest dwellers. He must summon the spirit-powers and all his courage to stop man and nature from destroying each other. One of Miyazaki’s most dark and mature films and certainly violent, PRINCESS MONONOKE is a fantasy epic with a dire environmental message. The end result is almost Kurosawa-Esque in story and structure. Whilst initial box-office was poor in the West, eventually became Studio Ghibli’s breakthrough film off the back of home video sales.

Silents Synced pairs classic silent movies with epic rock music to bring audiences a unique big screen experience. This reimagining of the iconic Nosferatu (1922) features Radiohead’s Kid A (2000) and Amnesiac (2001) albums. 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!

In 1998, director Hideo Nakata (Dark Water) unleashed a chilling tale of technological terror on unsuspecting audiences, which redefined the horror genre, launched the J-horror boom in the West and introducing a generation of moviegoers to a creepy, dark-haired girl called Sadako. The film’s success spawned a slew of remakes, reimaginations and imitators, but none could quite boast the power of Nakata’s original masterpiece, which melded traditional Japanese folklore with contemporary anxieties about the spread of technology. A group of teenage friends are found dead, their bodies grotesquely contorted, their faces twisted in terror. Reiko (Nanako Matsushima, When Marnie Was There), a journalist and the aunt of one of the victims, sets out to investigate the shocking phenomenon, and in the process uncovers a creepy urban legend about a supposedly cursed videotape, the contents of which causes anyone who views it to die within a week – unless they can persuade someone else to watch it, and, in so doing, pass on the curse…

Despite her romance beginning to blossom, the seemingly-innocuous town becomes a place of great terror once a series of violent and unexplained bird attacks start to wreak havoc on the bay’s residents.

With a live accompaniment from Hugo Max. One of the most iconic masterpieces in cinema history, Robert Wiene’s Das Cabinet des Dr Caligari shook filmgoers worldwide and changed the direction of the art form. The film’s chilling, radically expressionist vision is set to grip viewers again. At a local carnival in a small German town, hypnotist Dr. Caligari presents the somnambulist Cesare, who can purportedly predict the future of curious fairgoers. But at night, the doctor wakes Cesare from his sleep to enact his evil bidding… Incalculably influential, the film’s nightmarishly jagged sets, sinister atmospheric and psychological emphasis left an immediate impact in its wake (horror, film noir, and gothic cinema would all be shaped directly by it). But this diabolical tale nevertheless stands alone. Check out more from Hugo Max here!: https://hugomax.co.uk/
