8 And A Half
Location	Date	Tickets
	Showing in a pristine new 35mm print. Many regard this moody magnum opus as the Italian maestro's finest hour. Following a scenario not unlike the one that faced Fellini himself when he was under pressure to come up with a sequel to the massive international success of 'La Dolce Vita', Mastroianni plays a filmmaker plagued by intellectual insecurity and Catholic guilt as a weird selection of actresses, financiers, writers and hucksters dog his every move. As ever with Fellini, it's all about…
The Belmont, Aberdeen	20 May–21 May Tue 1.00; Wed 8.30	01224 343536

Honeydripper
Location	Date	Tickets
	It's 1950 in rural Alabama and morally circumspect pianist Tyrone Purvis (Glover) is trying to save the Honeydripper lounge from bankruptcy and his ass from prison. Although this benign and jolly tale is too long and features too many characters, Sayles' ability to spin a good yarn remains undiminished, irreproachable, enviable and all too rare.
The Belmont, Aberdeen	16 May–22 May 4.00 & 6.15; Thu 1.00	01224 343536

In Bruges
Location	Date	Tickets
	Two gobby Dublin criminals bide their time in Bruges, awating instruction from their cryptic and remote gangster boss Harry. Irish playwright McDonagh, in his feature debut, which wrestles some affecting moments from demonstrative characters, nicely teases out the parallels between the trio and Beckett's Vladimir, Estragon and Godot.
The Belmont, Aberdeen	16 May–22 May Fri 1.20, 3.40, 6.20 & 8.50; Sat, Sun & Mon 3.40 & 6.20; Wed 3.40; Thu 6.20	01224 343536

Indiana Jones And The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Location	Date	Tickets
	Jones (Ford) is drawn back into action when he becomes caught in a Soviet plot to discover the mystery behind some enigmatic crystal skulls.
The Belmont, Aberdeen	22 May Thu 12.45, 3.30, 6.15 & 9.00	01224 343536

Iron Man
Location	Date	Tickets
	Performing a perfectly poised balancing act between taking the fantastical material seriously and treating it with a knowing sense of humour, this smart adaptation locates Tony Stark/Iron Man's story of professional irresponsibility and personal redemption firmly within the context of the war on terror. Kidnapped by Afghan insurgents, Iron Man promptly renounces arms manufacture and instead uses his super-powered outfit to right his wrongs.
The Belmont, Aberdeen	16 May–22 May Fri–Mon & Wed 3.50 & 8.45; Tue 3.50 & 6.20; Thu 8.45	01224 343536

Joy Division
Location	Date	Tickets
	Beautifully cut and imaginatively constructed documentary explaining the swift rise and abrupt cessation of Joy Division (and troubled singer Ian Curtis ) through rare footage, TV appearances, bootleg recordings, personal photographs and recollections. The film rubbishes the ludicrous rock'n'roll myth of 'live fast, die young' to tell the story with humour, warmth and often-painful clarity.
The Belmont, Aberdeen	16 May–22 May 2.00 & 8.40; Thu 3.30	01224 343536

The Last Mistress
Location	Date	Tickets
	Breillat's most accessible work to date is based on the 19th century novel by the controversial writer Jules-Amedee Barbey d'Aurevilly. This is no staid costume drama: in 1835 Paris dashing and dissolute Ryno de Marigny (Aattou) is engaged to the virginal heiress Hermengarde (Mesquida) while still embroiled in a liaison with a scandalous Spanish courtesan Vellini (Argento).
The Belmont, Aberdeen	17 May–22 May 1.15 & 8.50; Tue 8.50; Wed 1.15 & 6.00	01224 343536

Persepolis
Location	Date	Tickets
	This adaptation of Satrapi's autobiographical coming-of-age graphic novel is an exceptionally moving piece of animated filmmaking. Chronicling the liberal outlook of young Iranian Marji, Satrapi refreshingly manages to portray a love of Iran without being revisionist or disguising any harsh truths about the regime.
The Belmont, Aberdeen	16 May–22 May 1.45 & 6.30; Tue 1.45 & 3.45; Thu 3.45 & 6.30	01224 343536
