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

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

Casablanca
Date	Location
You must remember this … Bogart being impossibly noble, Bergman torn between two lovers, Claude Rains playing both ends against the middle, devious Nazis, a fogbound airport, a piano-player tinkling that tune. A wonderful hill of beans. View full details

Restless angel Damiel (Ganz) is on duty over Berlin when he takes a tip from American movie star and former angel Falk on the possibilities of crossing over, and follows his mentor's path to consummate his relationship with beautiful circus acrobat Dommartin.

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

4 Jun 7.30pm	Brunton Theatre, Edinburgh

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
27 Jul–2 Aug Fri 1.25pm & 8.30pm; Sat 1.25pm & 6pm; Sun 3.15pm & 9pm; Mon 8.45pm; Tue 3.45pm & 6.15pm; Wed 6.15pm; Thu 3.45pm & 8.40pm	Filmhouse, Edinburgh

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

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
6 Jun–7 Jun Wed & Thu 8.15pm	Cineworld Fountainpark, Edinburgh
6 Jun–7 Jun Wed & Thu 8.40pm	Vue Ocean, Edinburgh

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

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
8 Jun–14 Jun Fri 1.20pm & 6pm; Sat 1.20pm & 8.45pm; Sun 1.15pm & 8.45pm; Mon 3.30pm & 6.15pm; Tue 3.30pm & 8.45pm; Wed & Thu 8.45pm	Filmhouse, Edinburgh

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
