• Alphaville

  Film

  11 Dec 2009 to 17 Dec 2009

  A new print of Godard's "most sheerly enjoyable film", a dystopian fantasy combining comic strip, pulp novel, science fiction and political allusion in which ace gumshoe Lemmy Caution rockets through space and time to an automated city of the future ruled by dictator scientist von Braun - where all expression of love, tenderness and individuality has been suppressed.

  Film

  A struggling young Moroccan farmer decides to leave home and find work in France. But his mother refuses to accept the idea of her son leaving, and tries desperately to persuade him to stay.

   

• Amintiri din epoca de aur (Tales from the Golden Age)

  Film

  6 Nov 2009 to 12 Nov 2009

  A sardonic and darkly ironic look at Romania under the communist Ceaucescu regime, which uses five urban myths from this so called 'golden age' to show the idiocies of daily life in a dictatorship, and the importance of humour in coping with its consequences.

  Film

  27 Nov 2009 to 3 Dec 2009

  The story of a thirteen year old boy’s discovery of his sexual desires. Noura has been growing up in the sheltered and sensual world of women like all boys prior to reaching puberty.
