Chariots Of Fire
Date	Location
Worryingly jingoistic vision of the 1924 Paris Olympics and the exploits of runners Harold Abrahams and Eric Liddell that, in its numerous slow-motion races, is to blame for Vangelis soundtracks becoming synonymous with athletics. Nevertheless, it won a fair few Oscars, although writer Colin Welland's legendary 'The British are coming' warning to Hollywood proved about as prophetic as Manchester's bid for the 2000 Olympics.

Dark Shadows
Date	Location
18th century vampire Barnabas Collins (Depp) escapes from his coffin to find himself in Maine in 1972. It's fun, thanks to a smart script and plenty of surreal humour; Burton regulars Depp and Bonham-Carter are a hoot, but Moretz and Green could have used more restraint. View full details

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

Either Way (Á annan veg)

Alfred (Hilmar Guðjónsson) and Finnbogi (Sveinn Ólafur Gunnarsson) work together painting the dividing lines on Icelandic public roads, in a sparse and uninhabited landscape. Having only each other for company – excepting sporadic visits by a jovial trucker plying them with drink – the two men’s personal differences are the source of laughter and frustration in equal measure. Writer/director Hafsteinn Gunnar Sigurðsson has created a carefully paced comedy of opposites – between stillness and… View full details and ticket info

Evelyn
Date	Location
A harrowing tale of human trafficking, this film engages not by a litany of misery but by presenting a naïve but incredibly resourceful and determined heroine, struggling to escape her nightmarish trap. At times, the pervasive atmosphere of corruption around her approaches the dark worlds of David Lynch, but without ever losing its connection to contemporary reality. A tough watch but an unforgettable one. View full details and ticket info

Exit Elena
Date	Location
A miniature gem, this no-budget, docu-style drama creates an indefinable tension around its mysterious heroine, a newly-qualified live-in nurse whose relations with the family she’s staying with seem to drift beyond the merely professional. The illusion of reality is perfect, thanks to utterly real performances captured by the film’s rough-and-ready camera style. And the mysterious sense of anxiety that permeates the proceedings is impossible to pin down and all the more effective for it. View full details and ticket info

Fable of the Fish (Isda)
Date	Location
A heartfelt portrait of a disintegrating marriage, a sweeping view of shanty-town life in the Philippines, but Adolfo Alix Jnr’s film will surely be remembered as 'that film about a woman who gives birth to a fish.' Astonishingly, Alix treats his absurd central conceit with complete seriousness, which doesn’t prevent some humour inevitably manifesting, but the prevailing tone is tragic and deeply sympathetic.
