Akira
Date	Location
Based on the multi-volume graphic novel by Otomo, Akira is a mythical, futuristic tale of post-holocaust Tokyo, where pill-popping biker kids begin to unearth a government project designed to exploit the psychic and telekinetic powers of a group of laboratory-bound children. Superbly animated, with a fantastic visual and narrative imagination, but you'd be well advised to know something of the plot before you see it. View full details
1 Jun 11pm	Cameo, Edinburgh

Aliens
Date	Location
Revived from a 57-year snooze in deep space, Warrant Officer Weaver is cajoled into joining a marine rescue mission to the planet that is home for the original alien beastie. Unrelentingly paced with a terrifically gutsy performance from Weaver, this nerve-shredding sequel not only matches its predecessor but cannily surpasses it. An Oscar winner for special effects.

The Apartment
Date	Location
Wilder's corrosive 1960 lampoon of corporate America tells the story of spineless insurance statistician CC Baxter (Lemmon).

The Bad and the Beautiful
Date	Location
Jonathan Shields (Douglas) is an obscenely talented film producer whose story is told from the perspectives of his ex-friends: a recovering alcoholic star (Turner), a celebrated director (Sullivan) and a bitter writer (Powell). Minelli's 1952 melodrama is bewitching, the screenplay is packed with zingers and it finely balances razzle-dazzle, heartbreak and insight. View full details

Casablanca

Date	Location
In Powell & Pressburger's poignant masterpiece, Clive Candy (Livesey, superb) starts out as a hotheaded Boer War hero and ages 40 years into a portly Home Guard general who keeps falling for the same kind of girl (Kerr, luminous).

Wings of Desire
Date	Location

The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn
Date	Location
After buying a replica model ship at a flea market, Tintin (Bell) is embroiled in a world of subterfuge. Not since Indy's third outing has Spielberg felt so fresh and unshackled; it feels like a hark back to the heyday of 1980s adventure cinema. View full details

The Artist
Date	Location

Azur and Asmar: The Princes' Quest
Date	Location
Childhood buddies Azur and Asmar become rivals and enemies in a medieval Maghreb. With the action taking place in North African Islamic architecture and over-populated bazaars, the colourful palatte of the animation and 'Arabian Nights'-style storyline is a welcome throwback to the days before Pixar tore up the rulebook. A compassionate and mature film based on classic legends rather than popular culture. View full details
30 Jun 11.30am	Glasgow Film Theatre, Glasgow

Blue Black Permanent
Date	Location
Poetic, obscure portrait of three generations of women, drawn together over the decades by love and death. Tait's feature debut, with its beautiful opaque images based around water, sea and rain, more than fulfils the promise of her remarkable short films. View full details and ticket info

A Dangerous Method
Date	Location
Cronenberg’s investigation of psychoanalysis, seen through the relationship between the two main proponents, Freud (Mortensen) and Jung (Fassbender) makes for a fascinating insight into a moment in history when the world of thought, and the way that we think about ourselves, was being fundamentally reshaped. View full details
31 May 7.45pm	Odeon Chatham, Chatham

The Darjeeling Limited
Date	Location
Three eccentric brothers (Wilson, Brody and Schwartzman) cross India by train in an attempt to deal with the recent death of their father. On this evidence writer/director Anderson is fast becoming the John Cheever of US cinema. This film is preceded by a short by Anderson called 'Hotel Chevalier'; it is imperative you see this film in order to understand what follows. A delight. View full details
7 Jun 9pm	Cameo, Edinburgh

Death Watch (La mort en direct)
Date	Location
Katherine (Schneider) is a novelist living in Glasgow who's been diagnosed with a terminal disease; Roddy (Keitel) befriends her, but unknown to her he works for a TV company with its own agenda. The basic idea is amazingly prescient but the plot is rather preposterous; Schneider's moving performance anchors it in emotional reality. View full details

The Devil Wears Prada
Date	Location
Nice, twee wannabee journalist Andy (Hathaway) finds herself employed as one of two personal secretaries to the formidable Miranda Priestly (Streep), an Anna Wintour style fashion editor. With killer one lines, really well rounded characterisation and excellent performances, it's difficult not to fall for its myriad charms. Though formulaic, in terms of decent mainstream US films this year, this enjoyably innocuous, bitchy romp, may be as good as it gets. View full details
13 Aug 7.45pm	Mugdock Country Park, Milngavie

The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie
Date	Location
A group of friends find their dinner gathering interrupted by a series of bizarre, mostly dreamt-up events. Not as savage a satire as Buñuel's earlier work, but he is certainly more assured as he fires at his constant targets - the church, the state and the army. View full details

Fantastic Mr Fox
Date	Location
Anderson's inspired choice of stop-motion animation pays off in this beautiful and idiosyncratic adaptation of the well-loved children's tale. While kids may enjoy it, Anderson's typically arch humour is aimed more at their parents, who will also be impressed by the star-studded voice cast – Bill Murray as a badger lawyer anyone?

14 Jun 9pm	Cameo, Edinburgh

Flash Gordon

Grizzly Man
Date	Location
Herzog's superb documentary about Timothy Treadwell, the troubled and eccentric environmentalist and former actor who sought redemption through dedicating himself to saving grizzly bears, filmed some incredible footage of them and was eventually killed by them. This Conradian portrait of a man coming apart in the middle of nature makes for astounding, disturbing viewing. View full details
23 Jun–25 Jun Mon 5.50pm; Sat 1.15pm	Glasgow Film Theatre, Glasgow

Le Havre
Date	Location
In the dismal seaport of Le Havre, elderly shoe-shiner Marcel (Wilms) attempts to help a young African immigrant boy to cross the Channel to a better life.

Ill Manors
Date	Location
Six interweaved storylines about violence, prostitution and drugs, all set around London's Forest Gate. The directorial debut of Ben Drew (aka hip-hop artist Plan B) is raw, uncompromising and ambitious; Drew elicits great performances and takes trouble to understand his wayward characters. A kind of hoodie Magnolia. View full details

The Illusionist
Date	Location
The product of five years' work in an animation studio that Chomet (Belleville Rendezvous) set up in Edinburgh when he fell in love with the capital after attending its International Film Festival, this is an uncannily accurate portrayal of Edinburgh and Scotland. The story is an unfilmed script from Jacques Tati and the main character, an ageing magician whose beloved act no longer interests the rock'n'rolling 1950s youth, is based somewhat on Tati himself and is carefully and emotively… View full details
26 Jun 8.30pm 'Scent Technician' Ericka Duffy explores the film 'from a sensory perspective'. Part of Edinburgh…	Inspace, Edinburgh

Jo Nesbo's Headhunters (Hodejegerne)
Date	Location
Roger (Hennie) is a successful headhunter living beyond his means, who supplements his income with a double life as a gentleman thief, until one of his victims (Coster-Waldau) fights back. Tyldum's adaptation of Jo Nesbo's novel is somewhere between a Road Runner cartoon and a Coen Brothers thriller: breathlessly, outrageously entertaining. View full details

The King's Speech
Date	Location
As war approaches, King George VI (Firth) is suddenly placed in a position of power, so hires a speech therapist to cure his speech impediment. Firth's affable persona lends an edge to the sheer frustration with which the King stumbles his way through public performances and contributes largely to the film's feel-good twist.

Let the Right One In
Date	Location
Adapted from his debut novel by Swedish horror writer John Ajvide Lindqvist, this chilling coming of age story breathes new life into a tired vampire genre. It's the early 1980s in the Stockholm suburb of Blackeburg and a life-changing friendship is struck between lonely 12-year-old Oskar (Hedebrant) and pale newcomer Eli (Leandersson). A work of nuance, sophistication and calmness – the blood soaked poetry of which is not easy to forget. View full details
3 Jun 7.45pm	Glasgow Film Theatre, Glasgow

The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou
Date	Location
Anderson's fourth film is part high seas adventure, part film industry satire, part existential meditation on the meaning of relationships. It is consistently clever and hilarious, shifting from the light-hearted to the surreal, to scenes of real depth with the kind of ease we've come to expect from the Texan director. Bill Murray heads an eccentric, often brilliant cast, as ageing oceanographer and filmmaker Steve Zissou. No one likes his films any more and his life is falling apart around… View full details
31 May 9pm	Cameo, Edinburgh

The Man Who Fell to Earth
Date	Location
An alien searching for the water needed to save his own planet has his powers destroyed by the sinister machinations of a multinational business enterprise. A well cast Bowie gives perhaps his best performance in this dazzling, occasionally obtuse, piece of Roegian sci-fi. View full details
19 Jun To be confirmed	Cameo, Edinburgh
19 Jun 10.30pm	Dundee Contemporary Arts, Dundee

Monsieur Lazhar
Date	Location
When a popular teacher in a Montreal school commits suicide, Algerian immigrant Bachir Lazhar (Fellag) replaces her, but the grieving pupils don't suspect his own struggles with family tragedy and imminent deportation. Director Falardeau's sensitive approach, and beguiling performances from Fellag and the children, have earned an Oscar nomination. An unexpected charmer. View full details

24 Jun–25 Jun Mon 11am; Sun 7.30pm	The Hippodrome, Bo'ness

Night of the Living Dead
Date	Location
Seminal black comedy shocker which spawned two increasingly nasty sequels and countless unauthorised imitations. A group of people barricade themselves into a farmhouse to seek refuge from the hordes of flesh-crazy undead, created by misfiring military experiments. Filmed on a shoestring in Pittsburgh, real gore was supplied by a local butcher. Though it now seems dated, the rough and grainy qualities of the film only serve to make it more horribly convincing. View full details
5 Jun 6pm	Glasgow Film Theatre, Glasgow

Puss in Boots
Date	Location
Puss (Banderas) and Humpty Dumpty (Galifianakis) attempt to steal magic beans from Jack and Jill, with Hayek as feline accomplice Kitty Softpaws. Given the slackening quality of the Shrek franchise, the surprise is that this imaginative romp was one of the 2011's best animated family films. View full details

Le Quai des Brumes (Port of Shadows)
Date	Location
In pre-WWII Le Havre, army deserter Jean (Gabin) tries to protect beautiful Nelly (Morgan) from a gang of small-time hoods. The great collaboration between director Carné and poet/screenwriter Prévert begins here; it's dark, bitter, fatalistic and wonderful, and has been given a meticulous and well-deserved digital restoration.

The Raid
Date	Location
An Indonesian SWAT team storms a Jakarta tower block intending to take down crime lord Tama (Sahetapy), but finds itself trapped.
