FEATURED ATTRACTION

MAKING NOISE QUIETLY d. Dominic Dromgoole, 2019 + Short: A FILTHY HABIT d. Mykea Perry + Q&A with Mykea Perry at The David Lean (10 SEP 19:30):

  • “Acclaimed theatre director Dromgoole has chosen for his screen debut to film a triptych drama that explores the impact of war on ordinary people. The three stories, set in Kent in 1942, Redcar in 1982 and Germany in 1996, feature dialogues that contrast the military world view with the characters’ complex relationships.”

FOR SAMA d. Waad al-Kateab, Edward Watts, 2019 + Q&A with the directors & Hamza al-Kateab, hosted by Jon Snow at BFI Southbank (10 SEP 20:20 – Currently looking SOLD OUT!):

  • “Waad al-Kateab falls in love, gets married and gives birth to Sama during the uprising in Aleppo, Syria. Filming all the time, her camera intimately captures moments of tenderness, laughter, loss, survival and resistance, as Waad tries to decide whether to flee the city to protect her daughter, when leaving means abandoning the political struggle for which she had already sacrificed so much.”

SPRINTER d. Storm Saulter, 2019 at ICA (10 SEP 20:50):

  • “Akeem Sharp, nicknamed the Rasta Rocket for his once-in-a-generation speed, is set to be Jamaica’s next big track and field sensation. Akeem hopes his success in athletics will take him to the US to reunite with his mother, who has been supporting the family from afar on a long-expired work visa. But Akeem’s rising star is weighed down by turmoil at home.”

THE THIRD MAN 4K: 70th Anniversary Release d. Carol Reed, 1949 at BFI Southbank (10 SEP 14:30):

  • “Writer Holly Martins (Joseph Cotten) arrives in post-war, Allies-occupied Vienna to meet his old friend Harry Lime (Orson Welles), with the promise of work. Discovering that Lime is dead, and warned away from Vienna on account of his friend’s criminal activities, Martins starts investigating the circumstances surrounding Lime’s demise.”

WHAT SHE SAID: THE ART OF PAULINE KAEL d. Rob Garver, 2018 at DocHouse (10 SEP 14:30):

  • “It’s near impossible to build a career as a female film journalist, but Pauline Kael defied the odds. WHAT SHE SAID tells the story of Pauline Kael, longtime New Yorker film critic and best-selling author, and her battle to make a name for herself. Never a dull read, Kael was also a force to be reckoned with. With her letters, interviews and published work narrated by Sarah Jessica Parker and late-20th-century movies reframed through Kael’s lens, the controversial yet pioneering critic is brought into focus.”
