Greetings from the Cannes Croisette – wish you were here!

Our June/July guide is almost always put together while I attendthe Cannes Film Festival, with the bulk of the writing done whilstsitting in a cinema before a film starts, standing in a queue waiting for the doors to open, or at the end of a long day of viewing. Attending Cannes is absolutely one of most exciting(and exhausting) elements of my role here at DCA and a great reminder that cinema is that unique blend of art and commercialbusiness. Every year I look back and wonder why some films are chosen for UK distribution and why others never see the light of day. It is not always tied to quality, but often a sign ofwhich films have potential in a commercial market. Last year, one of the films we all thought was in contention for the top prize, the Palmed'Or, was Timbuktu. It didn't win, but it did get picked up for distribution and went on to sweep the Césarawards. The film is a good example of what is so great aboutCannes – to see a director's career blossom from their first appearance in a side-bar section to being part of the main competition. For Abderrahmane Sissako, one of the most important contemporary African filmmakers, this was a definingmoment. The film is beautiful, important and heart breaking –don't miss it.

There are also lots of rare screenings over the next six weeks,from our new Focus on Film: Bette Davis tribute to a spotlight onRoddy Doyle and a riotous documentary about the punk bandThe Damned. Print Festival Scotland returns with a screening ofFrank Capra's 1928 The Power of the Presswith live musical accompaniment by the Devotional Ensemble, plus the ScottishPremiere of the new film from our favourite political activists, TheYes Men are Revolting.

NewFilmsThe Connection La French Fri 5 – Thu 11 June

Based on the real life criminal activity that inspired WilliamFriedkin’s classic action film The French Connection, this newfilm focuses on the European side of the story, delivering a police thriller Gallic style.

French star Jean Dujardin (The Artist) gets kitted out in polyester and sideburns to play the lead, Pierre Michel. An up-and-coming magistrate, he’s recently been transferred to the port city of Marseille, charged with cracking down onThe French Connection, the crime syndicate controlling cocaine in the city. At the heart of the gang is the ruthlessGaetan Zampa (Gilles Lellouche) who seems untouchable. But Pierre, determined and undaunted, is prepared to do almost anything to take him down.

Beautifully shot on 35mm, The Connection is high-octane, frenetic, and at times breathtaking filmmaking from directorJimenez, who grew up in Marseille in the 1970s. Dujardin hasjust the right balance of naiveté and grit to carry off the centralrole and Lellouche has the perfect amount of gravitas to formhis bitter enemy. Listen out for Jimenez’ use of Max Richter onthe soundtrack, which is just superb.

Danny Collins Fri 5 – Thu 11 June

With a distinguished cast that includes Al Pacino,Christopher Plummer and Annette Bening,screenwriter Dan Fogleman’s directorial debut is a funny, touching and very enjoyable storyabout starting over.

Successful entertainer Danny Collins (Pacino)might be one of the most recognised and well-loved singers on the cabaret circuit, but all theadoring fans in the world can’t make up for thefact he hasn’t written a song in years. Estrangedfrom the only family he has left, the cracks arebeginning to show. His long-suffering managerFrank (Plummer) – desperate to get him out of hisfunk – gives him a letter that John Lennon wroteover 40 years earlier to a young Danny. Warmand full of advice, the letter sets Danny on a path of self-reflection. Going in search of the son he abandoned (the always watchable BobbyCannavale), he waits patiently in a local hotel until he can thaw the frost which has grown between them. A tentative romance with hotelmanager Mary (Bening) provides him with ample distraction as he tries to repair his broken family.

Pacino’s well-lined face and undeniable charismaare perfect for this role. Danny is not an easy man to love and the mistakes he has made areundeniable, however, you absolutely believe thatwith some home truths this is one star who mightjust get the chance to sing again.

The Dead Lands Fri 5 – Thu 11 June

Despite its historical setting, The Dead Lands is as tense,thrilling and action packed as any Hollywood blockbuster with the words ‘fast’ and ‘furious’ in the title. Set in a period500 years before the Maori people came into contact with Europeans, Toa Fraser’s film is a story of revenge and honour,allies and enemies, ritual and tradition, featuring some jaw-dropping fight sequences.

When his tribe is decimated by an attack from a rival clan,young teenager Hongi (James Rolleston, who DCA audienceswill recognise from our Discovery Film Festival hit Boy andmore recent release The Dark Horse) is charged with avenginghis father’s death. Equipped with only his determination andthe spirit of his ancestors, he pursues his enemy Wirepa (Te Kohe Tuhanka) into the forbidden Dead Lands. Hongi’ssurvival depends on a mysterious warrior (Lawrence Makoare)who legend has it eats the dead, and the two form an unusualalliance in pursuit of the invaders and Hongi’s quest for revenge.

Bringing to life not only the Maori language but the ancientfighting tradition of Mau Rakau, The Dead Lands is perfectviewing for anyone interested in a new take on the Westerngenre. It might be sticks instead of guns at dawn, but the principles are the same and just as exciting.

West LagerfeuerFri 12 – Thu 18 June

Based on the autobiographical novel by JuliaFrank, Christian Schwochow’s West is another in a line of films coming out of post-unificationGermany, looking at the social and political ramifications of a divided nation.

Nelly (Jördis Triebel) escapes surveillance andsuspicion in the German Democratic Republic to start a new life with her son in West Berlin. Held in the Marienfeld Refugee Centre, she soonfinds herself subject to tests and interviews whichare eerily familiar to the life she was trying to getaway from. Given a card that requires 12 stampsfrom various officials before they can leave thecentre, she finds herself a job and a place to live. Relationships form between Nelly and long-term internee Hans (Alexander Scheer), and an attentive CIA agent (Jacky Ido), but neither helpsto assuage her growing fears. As she becomesmore and more paranoid, her son, bullied atschool, can only stand by and watch.

Through hand-held camerawork Schwochowmanages to convey a constant sense of dread and an oppressive feeling of being watched.Triebel, who is in almost every scene, shines asthe complicated Nelly, desperate for a new startbut unable to escape her past.

Documentarian Oppenheimer’s stunning follow-up to The ActOf Killing returns to the bloodstained legacy of Indonesia’s1965 genocide. The Look of Silence begins with the story of Ramli, one of thousands slaughtered during the ‘anti-Communist’ purges. His brother Adi, an optician, visits former executioners to conduct eye examinations. He bravely confronts the perpetrators – including Ramli’s killer – in gut-wrenching exchanges. Oppenheimer’s extraordinary film sensitively explores the repercussions of the violence, presenting powerful testimonies from victims’ families andthose affected.

The Damned: Don't You Wish That We Were Dead Mon 15 – Thu 18 June

Wes Orshoski (the filmmaker who brought us Lemmy) brings the story of the long-ignored pioneers of punk TheDamned, to the big screen. They were the first UK punks on wax, the first to cross the Atlantic and maybe the onlypunk band of the period still active 40 years later.

Don't You Wish That We Were Dead is a rollicking good watch and features a mix of archival footage with testimonialsfrom Chrissie Hynde, Mick Jones (The Clash), Lemmy and members of Pink Floyd, Black Flag, Guns 'N' Roses, theSex Pistols, Blondie, Buzzcocks, and more. Shot around the globe over three years, it charts the band's complex history and infighting. It captures the band as it celebrated its 35th anniversary with a world tour, finding its estrangedformer members striking out on their own anniversary tour, while other former members battled cancer. While they maynever have achieved the commercial success of the Sex Pistols or The Clash, the alumni of The Damned reads like awho's-who of rock music. Affectionate, irreverent and very funny, this is a must-see film for any fan.

NewFilmsJurassic World Fri 19 June – Thu 2 July

Steven Spielberg's astonishing blockbuster Jurassic Parkcontinues to captivate over two decades since it was first released. Now, after a long break since the sub-par sequels,Jurassic World has arrived, bigger and more dinosaur-packedthan ever before.

Isla Nublar is now a fully-functioning theme park, but after a decade with the doors open, numbers are dwindling. In a desperate effort to entice new visitors, and despite objectionsfrom behavioural scientist Owen (Chris Pratt), the park’s developers breed a new dinosaur. When the creature –dubbed Indominus Rex – starts to outsmart its captors, thewhole park comes under attack.

Newly minted blockbuster star Pratt appears opposite BryceDallas Howard, Judy Greer, Nick Robinson, Ty Simpkins andBD Wong (who starred in Jurassic Park as geneticist HenryWu) in this nostalgia-tinged summer dose of prehistoric entertainment. Threat, intrigue, humour and impressive CG,mixed with old-school practical effects all make for an awesome visit to Jurassic World!

Listen Up Philip Fri 12 – Thu 18 June

While Alex Ross Perry’s third feature film owes adebt to the genius of Woody Allen, Listen UpPhilip is very much his own creation; exploring, celebrating and laughing at the fragility of themale ego.

Jason Schwartzman (Rushmore) is Philip, a self-absorbed, slightly obnoxious writer who likes nothing more than to talk about his achievements. Despite a successful career as a novelist, his personal life is a mess and hestruggles to sustain any meaningful relationships.When he meets more experienced author IkeZimmerman (Jonathan Pryce), he’s invited to take a break at his country house. Abandoning a book tour (his new novel Obidant will speak foritself) and leaving his girlfriend Ashley (Mad Men’sElizabeth Moss) alone in Manhattan, he soon hasa job at a local university and is set to follow inZimmerman’s footsteps in more ways than one.

With cinematographer Sean Price Williams' retrosensibilities, Keegan DeWitt's jazz score and sarcastic off-camera narration by Eric Bogosian(one of the best voices in Hollywood), Listen UpPhilip is one of those rare films where you don’tactually mind spending time with an extremelyunlikable person.

Timbuktu Fri 12 – Thu 18 June

A surprise winner of seven prizes at this year’s César Awards (France’s answer to the Oscars), Timbuktu was also oneof the most talked about films of Cannes 2014. In France, a country reeling from recent terrorist attacks, it struck achord with both the critics and the box office. Quietly devastating, the film is inspired by the true story of the stoning to death of an unmarried couple with children by Islamists in Mali.

Islamic Jihadists storm into a rural area in northern Mali brandishing guns and imposing the rules of Sharia on the localcommunity: music is forbidden; walking in the streets is deemed to be loitering; women with uncovered faces, handsor feet are sinful. Punishment for these trangressions is swift and brutal. Caught up in the conflict are a young couple,Kidane (Ibrahim Ahmed) and Satima (Toulou Kiki), who live on a dune farm outside the main town. When Satimacatches the eye of one soldier and Kidane has an altercation with a neighbouring fisherman, their quiet peaceful existence is soon destroyed forever.

African filmmaker Sissako (Waiting for Happiness, Bamako) creates stories as majestic as the landscape he photographs.Restrained and precise, he uses the everyday details of two opposing traditions and lifestyles as they collide, buildingto a climax that is utterly devastating. Up-and-coming cinematographer Sofiane El Fani (who shot Blue is the WarmestColour) is also a talent to watch out for as she deftly captures intimate close-ups with as much grace as the extraordinary scenery.

Mr Holmes Fri 19 June – Thu 2 July

Director Bill Condon is reunited with Sir Ian McKellen for the first time since their Oscar-winning triumph Gods and Monsters, for another extraordinarily moving film about ageing, adapted from Mitch Cullin’s novel. Gentle and perfectlypitched, this is an out and out delight.

The film opens as Sherlock Holmes, now 93 years old, returns from Japan where he has been searching for a rareplant which may save his failing memory. No longer the master detective, he spends his days tending to his gardenand looking after his bees, with only his housekeeper (Laura Linney), her son Roger (Milo Parker) and his obsessionwith an unsolved case for company. Forming an unlikely friendship with the inquisitive young boy, the pair set out to finally bring some closure to the mystery that’s been plaguing Holmes for years.

Classic British drama at its best, Mr Holmes has a lightness of touch that is as jolly as a picnic on Broughty Ferrybeach when the sun is shining. With McKellen’s performance giving the film a welcome gravitas, the story deftly explores a question we all have to face as we grow older – how do you come to terms with not only your achievements, but your regrets?

The Goob Fri 3 – Thu 9 July

First-time director Guy Myhill's film might not be offering anything new in terms of its storytelling but it is a gripping andwell-crafted drama, with an astonishing central performancefrom non-professional actor Liam Walpole.

Set in the pumpkin fields of Norfolk, 16 year-old Goob Taylor(Walpole) lives with his mother (Sienna Guillory), older brotherand brutal stepfather Gene (Sean Harris). When his brotherends up in hospital after an accident, Goob is left to fend for himself and tensions between the two men in the housebecome unbearable. As pretty young migrant worker Evacatches the eyes of both men, the animosity between thembecomes explosive.

Myhill has a terrific eye for detail, from the stock car races thatbring the community together to the itinerant workers campwhich is set up adjacent to the farm; all adding up to paint aportrait in stark contrast to the rolling fields of England sooften seen on screen. Managing to be both fierce and vulnerable at the same time, it is no surprise that Walpole has since secured a modelling contract.

Les Combattants Fri 26 June – Thu 2 July

Hugely popular at last year’s Cannes, walkingaway with not one but four prizes, this unusualromantic comedy was also a hit at DCA when itpreviewed as part of the French Film Festival lastNovember. Taking a cue from classic screwballcomedy with its opposites attract plot and fast-talking dialogue, Thomas Cailley’s feature film debut braves a new path with a female lead whois uncompromising to say the least.

In a sea-side town, Arnaud (Kevin Azaïs) and his older brother are trying to manage their latefather's timber company. Hired to build a shed fora local family, Arnaud gets to know the daughterMadeleine (up-and-coming French star AdèleHaenel), an eccentric girl obsessed with learningsurvival skills for any apocalypse that might comeher way. Despite her peculiarities, he is drawn toMadeleine and when she signs up for TerritorialArmy training, he soon follows suit. When heturns out to be more successful at the trainingthan she is, their relationship is tested to its limits.When confronted by a catastrophic event, thepair must learn to trust each other in a way theynever imagined.

While the path to true love never runs smoothly,Cailley is definitely taking it to extremes with thisodd-ball romance. Never sweet, this is an acerbicand very funny film with two terrific young actorsat its heart.

Amy Fri 10 – Thu 16 July

Asif Kapadia brought Formula One racing to a new audience with Senna, the tragic story of Brazilian racing driver Ayrton Senna's career and untimely death. Using many of the same techniques in his newest film, Kapadia blends amateur footage, media coverage and candid interviews to reveal the extraordinary talent that was singer/songwriterAmy Winehouse.

The film opens with home video of a teenage Amy hanging out with her best friends – she is a lively, loving, larger than life personality. Within minutes, you hear a snippet of that voice, as she sings Happy Birthday to the camera, immediately reminding you of just how talented she was. Over the next 90 minutes, from her early success as a jazzartist to her super-stardom on both sides of the Atlantic, we learn about the star from the people who knew and lovedher. From her glory days to her destructive relationship with husband Blake, to her addictions and eating disorders,Amy's star rose and fell spectacularly. At times, the footage of her tiny frail frame is shocking and it’s hard not to feelfrustrated that help seemed out of her reach, despite the efforts of many who surrounded her.

While Amy's father Mitch has denounced the final film, Kapadia has managed to retain objectivity throughout. Theoverwhelming feeling as Amy finishes is that of loss – on 23 July 2011, a family lost their daughter, her friends a lovedone and the rest of the world a unique and exceptional musical artist.

Slow West Fri 26 June – Thu 9 July

An impressive feature film debut from former member of The Beta Band John Maclean (who hails from Tayport!), SlowWest is a wonder, crafted with precision and skill, and just as gripping as any classic Western out there.

Although shot in New Zealand, the story takes place on the American frontier in Colorado, where a young Scot, Jay Cavendish (The Road’s Kodi Smit-McPhee all grown up, literally), makes an arduous journey halfway across the world to find his long-lost love. When he stumbles across a group of bounty hunters massacring an Indian village, he’s completely out of his depth and is saved from certain death by the mysterious wise loner Silas Selleck (Michael Fassbender, who is also executive producer). Jay employs Silas to be his protector and they set off through the rugged landscape to locate his love, Rose (Caren Pistorious). This is the Wild West, where violence, not the law, is the order of the day, and the two men encounter horror and bloodshed every step of the way.

Smit-McPhee brings a startled innocence to the role and the tobacco-spitting Fassbender the right amount of gruffness, while Ben Mendelsohn is his usual creepy self as the ultimate baddie. Maclean and his cinematographerRobbie Ryan have created a world which is both lyrical and brutal, much like the characters on their journey to theSlow West. A wee gem.

Inspired by the burgeoning 1960s youth culture, aspiringyoung filmmakers from opposite sides of the tracksChris Stamp and Kit Lambert set out to find a subject for their underground movie. In the band the ‘High Numbers’ they found a rebellious restlessness that wasjust what they were looking for. Rechristening the group‘The Who’, Lambert and Stamp quickly scrapped theidea of making a movie and imbued into the processtheir unusual chemistry, filmic ideas, stylish dress andoutrageous performance. Forging a complex and moving relationship which is both deeply tragic and brilliantly comedic, they fuelled the band’s artistic development and left an indelible imprint on generationsto come. This new documentary tells their story and features candid interviews from Stamp, Pete Townshendand Roger Daltrey, alongside pleasurable acres ofarchival footage.

The WhoQuadrophenia Sun 14 June, 22:00

Frank Roddam’s film adaptation of The Who’s secondrock opera is a far more sober and realistic affair thanTommy. Eschewing the idea of making a musical, Roddam instead opted for a vivid recreation of thesource material’s setting and milieu – the battles between Mods and Rockers in early 60s Brighton. The young cast are uniformly excellent and The Who’smusic still finds plenty of room to shine. One of the greatfilms about youthful rebellion.

Tommy Fri 12 June, 21:15

Ken Russell’s film of The Who’s innovative rock opera remains the controversial director’s most popular and accessible film. That’s not to say that there is anything normal or staid on display here. Rather Pete Townshend’s absurdist parable about the cruel exploitation of a pinball-playing messiah figure perfectlysuited Russell’s own penchant for bold, messianic imagery. Indeed, the combination of music and visuals is dazzlingly inventive and ceaselessly energetic. After40 years Tommy remains an utterly singular experience.

It’s hard to believe that the very first excursion to Jurassic Park was over twenty years ago, but it remainsa favourite of film fans of all ages. Now’s the chance tosee the latest chapter in the ultimate dinosaur franchise,and this time in glorious detail up on the big screen. We couldn’t not include a special Family Film Clubscreening of such a hugely anticipated film!

Isla Nublar is now a fully-functioning theme park, butafter a decade with the doors open, numbers are dwindling. In a desperate effort to entice new visitors,and despite objections from behavioural scientist Owen (Chris Pratt), the park’s developers breed a new dinosaur. When the creature – dubbed IndominusRex – starts to outsmart its captors, the whole park isunder attack.

Threat, intrigue, humour and impressive CG, mixed withold-school practical effects, all make for an awesomevisit to Jurassic World! Screening for a fortnight, see p9for full run dates.

The Secret of Kells Sat 6 June, 13:00

This summer sees the much anticipated arrival of theOscar-nominated animated fantasy Song of the Sea,and as a taster of the good things that lie ahead wethought we should have another look at the filmmakers’earlier work, already hailed a classic amongst animatedfamily films. A combination of great storytelling with truly exquisite animations, The Secret of Kells was nominated for the Best Animated Feature Oscar in 2010 and was a runaway success in that same year’sDiscovery Film Festival.

Young Brendan lives in a remote medieval village underconstant threat of attack from barbarian hordes. When a master book illuminator arrives with an ancient unfinished manuscript that offers wisdom and mysticalpowers, Brendan’s life takes a whole new direction. To help complete the magical book, Brendan has toovercome his deepest fears on a dangerous quest thattakes him into the enchanted forest where mythicalcreatures hide. It is here that he meets the fairy Aisling, a mysterious young wolf-girl who helps him along theway. But with the barbarians closing in, will Brendan'sdetermination and artistic vision manage to illuminateand halt the encroaching darkness?

MinionsFri 3 – Thu 16 July

Uh oh. They’re back! Following their triumphant appearances in the two Despicable Me films, the cute and cuddly (and ever so scatty) Minions have returned, and this time they get the whole movie to themselves.

We go back to the dawn of time to discover the genesis of these adorable yellow creatures, and their singular determination to seek out the most despicable of masters and then carry out their every whim. Their capacity for getting things wrong, however, means they end up accidentally wiping out all their employers – including a T. Rex,Napoleon and Dracula – and they decide instead to withdraw from the world and take up residency in Antarctica.However, Kevin, Stuart and Bob soon find this new lifestyle tedious and depressing, so they set off to find new employment. Arriving in New York City in the late 1960s, they become henchmen for the deliciously dangerous Scarlet Overkill and a whole new adventure begins.

From the moment we saw the teaser at the end of Despicable Me 2, where Kevin, Stuart and Bob were auditioning for parts in this very movie, we’ve been on tenterhooks to see this latest instalment of Minion world domination. Andit’s not just the Minions who’ve been excited by the chance of appearing in the film – several Hollywood A-listers have joined the project too – including Sandra Bullock and Jon Hamm (TV’s Mr Mad Men) as Mr and Mrs Overkill. But spare a thought for director/producer Pierre Coffin who is credited with providing the voices for 899 Minions. 899! ...Uh oh indeed.

Literary DundeeTo mark Roddy Doyle's Honorary Degree from the University of Dundee, DCA presents this screening of The Barrytown Trilogy, in partnership with Literary Dundee, a University-led initiative which celebrates readers, writers and books. Literary Dundee also produces Dundee Literary Festival: bringing the best writers in the world to Dundee, 21 – 25 October 2015. literarydundee.co.uk

The Snapper Sat 4 July, 15:30

Heart-warming and universal, The Snapper sees a family come together to face the challenges of anunplanned pregnancy. Twenty yearsold and single, Sharon Curley (TinaKellegher) stuns her family, includingher father Dessie (Colm Meaney),when she shares the news that adrunken night has left her pregnantwith the titular ‘Snapper’. Refusing to reveal the identity of the father,Sharon becomes the subject ofspeculation around town, while herfamily wrestles with their feelings andthe effect the news has had on their position in the community. Adaptedfrom Roddy Doyle’s novel of thesame name, this comedy is honest rather than histrionic, and authentically captures the nature ofthe Curley’s hard-drinking, gossip-friendly, working class community.

Dir: Stephen Frears UK 1993 / 1h31m / 15

The Van Sun 5 July, 15:45

Given his experience working withfood, it's hardly surprising that afterlosing his job at a bakery, Brendan"Bimbo" Reeves (Donal O'Kelly) becomes successful selling friedmorsels from a van. He hires his bestfriend Larry (Colm Meaney) to help,but having Bimbo for a boss doesn'timprove their relationship. The van iseventually closed down by a healthinspector – which Bimbo suspects is because Larry ratted him out overquestionable food prep techniques –and their friendship is severed.

The third and final adaptation of the trilogy, The Van is an often overlooked comedy. It might nothave had quite the international success of the other two films, but it is just as heart-warming and certainly as acerbically funny.

Dir: Stephen Frears UK / Ireland / USA 1996 / 1h40m / 15

The Commitments Fri 3 July, 20:00

The Commitments is an often comicdrama about the struggle to make itin the world, telling the story with ashrewd eye for the real attitudes ofworking class Dublin.

Focus on Film: Bette Davis

Whatever EverHappened toBaby Jane? Sun 5 July, 13:00

Davis’ career had more than its share of camp classics, but nothingtouches this in terms of quality andsheer craziness. The story sees analcoholic former child star (Davis)take her now-crippled movie-starsister (Joan Crawford) prisoner in her own house. Credit must go toRobert Aldrich for his wonderfullyripe direction, but the real joy comesfrom watching two of Hollywood’sbiggest female stars try to see whocan chew the most scenery.

Dir: Robert Aldrich USA 1962 / 2h14m / 18

The Whales of August Sun 12 July, 15:30

A swansong for Davis, her co-star,Lillian Gish, and director, Lindsay Anderson, The Whales of Augusttells the story of two widowed sisters living together on the Mainecoast – one (Davis) is blind and cantankerous, the other (Gish) is optimistic and resilient. There is littlein term of plot, but few films exudesuch a warm (but never sentimental) humanity. A masterpiece and one of the finest and most poignant films ever made about growing old.

Dir: Lindsay Anderson USA 1988 / 1h29m / U

All About Eve Sun 28 June, 13:00

Featuring no less than five Oscarnominated performances, Oscar-winning direction and arguably thegreatest original screenplay everwritten, Joesph Mankiewicz’s AllAbout Eve is the definition of a classic. This story of the meteoricrise of a young Broadway actressand the decline of her one-time mentor is told with enough sardonicwit to give Oscar Wilde a run for hismoney, and Davis, as the ageing theatre star, gives the performanceof a lifetime.

Dir: Joseph L. Mankiewicz USA 1950 / 2h13m / U

The most gifted, unusual, and fiercely independent American actress of Hollywood’s Golden Age, BetteDavis made over 100 films. Known for her (often glorious) excess which threatened to steal every sceneshe was in, she was also an immensely subtle character actress and a selfless ensemble player. Join us for brand new restorations of six of her finest works alongside informative introductions by membersof staff from the University of Dundee English and Film Studies Programme.

Now, Voyager Sun 14 June, 13:00

In one of her most famous roles and one of the best romantic melodramas of the 1940s, Davisgives an astonishing performance as a repressed spinster whose brieflove affair with an unhappily marriedman leads to a personal awakening.The film sidesteps all the usualclichés and Davis is superbly supported by Paul Henreid and a delightfully dry Claude Rains. Aheady mix of psychoanalysis, lushromanticism and pure melodramawith Max Steiner’s Oscar-winningscore making the proceedings seem suitably operatic.

Dir: Irving Rapper USA 1942 / 1h57m / U

The Little Foxes Sat 21 June, 13:00

The very definition of a forgottenmasterpiece, this is one of the great films of the 1940s, and is about as flawlessly written, directedand acted as any film you will ever see. Unlike most Hollywoodstars, Davis never shied away from playing characters that wereunsympathetic or older than her. Perhaps the greatest example of this was her performance as thefearsome and avaricious Southernmatriarch in William Wyler’s adaptation of Lillian Hellman’s finest play, The Little Foxes.

Dir: William Wyler USA 1941 / 1h51m / PG

The Petrified Forest Sun 7 June, 13:15

This claustrophobic and highly atmospheric adaptation of RobertSherwood’s play follows a gangsterwho holds a disparate group of people hostage in an isolated diner.Best known for the extraordinaryperformance by Leslie Howard as apoet with an existential streak and an astonishing, star-making turn byHumphrey Bogart as the hostagetaker, the film also shows a youngDavis on excellent, unselfish form asa young woman whose dreams havebeen crushed.

Print Festival Scotland

Scottish Premiere: The Yes Men Are Revolting Sun 28 June, 20:30

Our favourite global activist-pranksters are back! Jacques Servin and Igor Vamos’ long-standing collaboration has created a series of media stunts designed to infiltrate big business and raise awareness of climate change.

Over a span of five years, The Yes Men Are Revolting documents some of the outrageous and unorthodox ways thatthe two men travel around the world impersonating corporate spokespeople and government bodies in order to gettheir message out. Behind the scenes, each stunt is a logistical challenge, full of anxiety, possible litigation, and healthand safety issues. Their actions are also taking a personal toll on the two men's collaboration, but no one can questiontheir commitment or imaginative way of looking at serious issues.

Full of laugh-out-loud moments as well as some very poignant ones, this is a film which questions the very nature ofsocial activism and our ability as individuals to make a difference. Their sheer chutzpah and dogged determinationmeans that you will be rooting for The Yes Men from beginning to end.

This Scottish premiere screening coincides with the launch of a new suite of limited edition prints by The Yes Men, produced in DCA Print Studio. For more information visit www.dca.org.uk.

The Power of the Press Sun 5 July, 18:00

We are delighted to present a special screening of this rarely seen silent film with live musical accompaniment by theDevotional Ensemble. Legendary director Frank Capra (It’s a Wonderful Life, Mr Smith goes to Washington) began hiscareer making comedy shorts in the 1920s. This was his tenth feature film and shows he was just as adept at fast-paced drama.

A 19 year-old Douglas Fairbanks Jr stars as a cub reporter for a city newspaper hoping for his big break. By accidenthe ends up reporting on the murder of the District Attorney and is drawn into a world of gangsters, femme fatales andpolitical corruption. Harold Lloyd fans will recognise the delightful Jobyna Ralston as the heroine, but the scene-stealerhere is Mildred Harris – a former child actress and the first of Charlie Chaplin’s teenage brides – in what was her laststarring role before sound killed her career.

Print enthusiasts will be fascinated by the documentary-like sequence showing the newspaper being assembled andtypeset then running through the presses. Everyone else will get the chance to enjoy a cracking comedy thriller by oneof Hollywood’s great directors.
