This weekend our screenings will be on Friday 11 October 7:30 pm Saturday 12 October 7:30pm Sunday 13 October 6:00 pm Screening first will be No (R) 115 mins. Chile/France 2012. Dir: Pablo Larrain Stars: Gail Garcia Bernal, Alfredo Castro, Antonia Zegers ‘No’ follows the 1988 advertising campaign to oust Chilean dictator, Augusto Pinochet. Larrain deftly mixes social satire and historical drama in his account of a monumental political victory achieved in part via a catchy jingle, a simplistic slogan and a cheesy logo. Larrain shot the movie on the same low-res videotape used in 80s Chilean TV which allows him to seamlessly integrate actual footage from that time period. imdb/title/tt2059255/ Our second feature screening after intermission is The Patience Stone (R) 102 mins Fr. 2013. Dir. Atiq Rahimi Stars: Golshifteh Farahani, Hamid Djavadan, Massi Mrowat Somewhere, in Afghanistan or elsewhere, a young woman in a country torn by war is caring for her paralysed husband, who was wounded in battle. When praying fails to revive him, she resorts to telling him all her secrets. It’s almost a long monologue, but the pace, Golshifteh Farahani’s beautiful face, and the insight into a conservative culture, makes it an intriguing and beautiful movie. imdb/title/tt1638353/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
