MENASHE
Dir: Joshua Z Weinstein • USA (Yiddish) • PG • 82mins
An intriguing look at a culture whose unfamiliarity to many viewers will be rendered irrelevant by the story’s universally affecting themes and thoughtful approach.

THE OTHER SIDE OF HOPE
Dir: Aki Kaurismäki • Finland • 12A • 100mins
Winner of the Berlin Silver Bear for Best Director; a comedy-drama about a Finnish businessman who meets a Syrian asylum-seeker looking for his missing sister. Hilarious sight gags, poker-faced one liners, and a toe-tapping rockabilly soundtrack, it is witty while also being humane, sincere and a pressing critique of the unforgiving bureaucracy that greets vulnerable asylum seekers in Europe today.
22nd March ‘18 • 8.30pm
ELLE
Dir: Paul Verhoeven • France • 18 • 130mins
Golden Globe Winner for Best Foreign Film; a psychological thriller based on Philippe Djian’s novel. Isabelle Huppert stars as Michèle, a successful and ruthless video game company CEO.

Dir: Mohamed Diab • Egypt • 15A • 98mins
Set in Cairo after the political events of June 2013, based entirely in the confines of a police van containing Muslim Brotherhood members and pro-army supporters, as well as other people belonging to neither of these factions. A white-knuckled tale of resistance and shared humanity that artfully evokes the political fault lines; a telling depiction of modern Egypt.
5th April ‘18: • 8.30pm
