TREASURE is an impactful and moving film from writer/director Julia Von Heinz based on the book Too Many Men by Lily Brett. The film is the third in von Heinz’s ‘Aftermath Trilogy’ exploring the legacy of Germany’s Nazi past following 2013’s Hanna’s Journey and And Tomorrow the Entire World, Germany’s 2020 Oscar submission.

Felicity Beckett speaks to directors Rachel Ramsay and James Erskine about Copa 71, in cinemas from 8 March.   It is August 1971. Football teams from England, Argentina, Mexico, France, Denmark and Italy are gathering at Mexico City’s sun-drenched Azteca Stadium. The scale of the tournament is monumental: lavish sponsorship, extensive TV coverage, merchandise on every street corner and crowds of over 100,000 hollering fans turn this historic stadium into ‘a cauldron of noise and heat’ match after match. A fawning media treat the players like rock stars. The atmosphere is reminiscent of the greatest moments in international footballing history. But this is a tournament unlike anything that’s happened before. The players on the pitch are all women. And it’s likely you’ve never even heard of it. This is Copa 71, the unofficial Women’s World Cup. Dismissed by both FIFA and domestic football associations around the world, this event has been entirely written out of history. Until now.

Monk (Jeffrey Wright), a frustrated novelist, is fed up with the establishment profiting from 'Black' entertainment that relies on tired and offensive tropes. To prove his point, Monk uses a pen name to write an outlandish “Black” book of his own, a book that propels him to the heart of hypocrisy and the madness he claims to disdain. Cord Jefferson's hilarious directorial debut, American Fiction confronts our culture’s obsession with reducing people to outrageous stereotypes.  If you'd like to send us a voice memo for use in a future episode, please email [email protected].

Guest host Michael Urwin talks to director Agniia Galdanova about Queendom, in cinemas now.  Gena, a queer artist from a small town in Russia, dresses in otherworldly costumes made from junk and tape, and protests the government on the streets of Moscow. Born and raised on the harsh streets of Magadan, a frigid outpost of the Soviet gulag, Gena is only 21. She stages radical performances in public that become a new form of art and activism. By doing that, she wants to change people’s perception of beauty and queerness and bring attention to the harassment of the LGBTQ+ community. The performances - often dark, strange, evocative, and queer at their core - are a manifestation of Gena’s subconscious. But they come at a price.

Felicity Beckett speaks to director Christopher Morris about our latest Green Screen film, A Year In The Field, coming to select Picturehouse Cinemas soon!  From Winter Solstice 2020 to Winter Solstice 2021, a string of unprecedented worldwide climate disasters, met by weak global political resolve, are revealed as fleeting moments under the ever-present, unflinching granite gaze of the Longstone: an ancient monolith that has stood sentinel in a Cornish field for millennia. Part provocation, part meditation, part invocation, BAFTA-winning documentarian Christopher Morris’ A Year In A Field invites us to slow down as he films for twelve months in the Longstone's field. As the wheel of the year turns, Morris’ 'eco-sophical' polemic unearths a mythic reality buried just below the soil of our consumerist age, suggesting, perhaps, that whilst time may feel like it’s running away at an ever-increasing rate, it’s not too late to pause, reflect, and change.

Host Sam Clements speaks to costume designer Jacqueline West and Osage wardrobe consultant Julie O’Keefe about working on the new film by Martin Scorsese, Killers Of The Flower Moon, in cinemas now.  At the turn of the 20th century, oil brought a fortune to the Osage Nation, who became some of the richest people in the world overnight. The wealth of these Native Americans immediately attracted white interlopers, who manipulated, extorted, and stole as much Osage money as they could before resorting to murder. Based on a true story and told through the improbable romance of Ernest Burkhart (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Mollie Kyle (Lily Gladstone), “Killers of the Flower Moon” is an epic western crime saga, where real love crosses paths with unspeakable betrayal. Also starring Robert De Niro and Jesse Plemons, “Killers of the Flower Moon” is directed by Academy Award winner Martin Scorsese from a screenplay by Eric Roth and Martin Scorsese, based on David Grann’s best-selling book.

Felicity Beckett speaks to director Dylan Hewitt about his new film, The Nettle Dress, which is playing at Picturehouse Cinemas as part of our Green Screen programme. Textile artist Allan Brown spends seven years making a dress by hand just from the fibre of locally foraged stinging nettles. This is ‘hedgerow couture’, the greenest of slow fashion but also his medicine. It’s how Allan survives the passing of his wife, leaving him and their four children bereft, and how he finds a beautiful way to honour her. Stunningly filmed by award-winning documentary maker Dylan Howitt, The Nettle Dress follows Allan's journey through seasons and years, foraging, spinning, weaving, cutting and sewing the cloth, before finally sharing a healing vision of the dress back in the woods where the nettles were picked, worn by one of his daughters. A labour of love in the truest sense, The Nettle Dress is a modern-day fairytale and hymn to the healing power of nature and slow craft. It’s one story representing a huge groundswell of people rediscovering the joys of making. Actor Mark Rylance called the film “Exquisite and inspiring, beautiful and helpful for anyone suffering loss or grief”.

Host Flick Beckett speaks to director Alastair Evans about his new film, A Crack In The Mountain, in cinemas now.  Hang Sơn Đoòng which translates as “mountain river cave”, is located in the Phong Nha-Kẻ Bàng National Park in Quảng Bình Province in Vietnam. The national park is also a UNESCO world heritage site. First found in 1990 by a local farmer, it wasn’t explored until 2009 when a British expedition team rigged ropes and descended down. Many people have described Sơn Đoòng as a lost world. It has its own lake, jungle and even a unique weather system. In 2014 plans were announced to build a cable car into Sơn Đoòng. With many arguing that this would destroy the cave’s delicate eco-system and the local community divided over the benefits this development would bring, the film follows those caught up in the unfolding events. The documentary also uses the narrative as a lens through which to investigate related themes such as the challenges of modern day exploration, environmental conservation & sustainability, and the perils of operating as an activist in a country such as Vietnam where freedom of speech is severely curtailed.

Felicity Beckett speaks to legendary Belgian directors Jean-Pierre Dardenne and Luc Dardenne about their new film Tori and Lokita, in cinemas now.  This Cannes award-winner by the renowned Dardenne brothers is a moving and typically uncompromising drama about two teenage migrants trying to build a new life. Tori and Lokita are living in Belgium after surviving a dangerous journey together from West Africa. Though they have a close relationship, they aren’t related but pretend to be siblings so that Lokita can secure her residence papers. Desperate to pay the traffickers who smuggled them into Europe and send money to relatives, they supplement their wages from restaurant work by selling drugs. But Tori and Lokita - beautifully played by first-time actors Pablo Schils and Joely Mbundu - are ill-equipped to deal with an uncaring and predatory world, and events soon spin out of their control.

Felicity Beckett talks to director Maria Schrader about her new film She Said, in cinemas now. This powerful investigative drama - inspired by true events - depicts how two New York Times reporters uncovered the widespread sexual abuse of women by Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.  Adapted from the book by journalists Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey, She Said charts their months of painstaking research. They gradually piece together a horrifying trail of systemic misconduct that leads to Weinstein but must overcome a culture of silence and fear, and the non-disclosure agreements that prevent many survivors from speaking out.  Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan capture the dedication and commitment of the duo with conviction - they are determined to support each other, and the women whose experiences they have uncovered. The notable cast also includes Patricia Clarkson and Samantha Morton. With a nod to the likes of Spotlight and All the President’s Men, this is a gripping account of a pivotal cultural moment that helped to mobilise the #MeToo movement.

Hosted by Picturehouse’s very own Sam Clements, The Love Of Cinema podcast is proudly supported by Kia. Sam is joined by writer-director Chris Butler from Laika Studios to discuss the 10th anniversary re-release of ParaNorman. As a co-writer of Coraline and the co-director of Flushed Away respectively, Chris Butler and Sam Fell had just the credentials to create arguably the most innovative 3D animation to date. Employing a unique hybrid of CGI and stop-motion technology, ParaNorman tells of a town besieged by rudely awakened and rather irate zombies. The town’s only hope of salvation is Norman, a boy blessed with the ability to understand the zombies’ language (voiced by Kodi Smit-McPhee, in a role that could hardly be more different from his character in The Road). As he battles with ghosts, witches and moronic adults as well as the living dead, Norman’s supernatural powers are entertainingly stretched to their limits, and the film’s breathtaking pace is further enhanced by stellar voicing from the likes of John Goodman, Elaine Stritch and Casey Affleck.

Host Felicity Beckett speaks to Steve Coogan and Philippa Langley about their new film, The Lost King.  In 2012, having been lost for over 500 years, the remains of King Richard III were discovered beneath a car park in Leicester. The search had been orchestrated by an amateur historian, Philippa Langley, whose unrelenting research had been met with incomprehension by her friends and family and with scepticism by experts and academics. The Lost King is the life-affirming true story of a woman who refused to be ignored and who took on the country's most eminent historians, forcing them to think again about one of the most controversial kings in England's history.

It's 1993 and 16 year old Brandon is the new kid in school. Soon he’s top of the class, acing exams and even taking the lead in the school musical. He’s the model pupil, until he's unmasked...

The preternaturally bright student surprised teachers by blazing toward his goal of entering medical school, displaying a wealth of knowledge beyond his years. Brandon found friends despite his initial awkwardness. He took bullied students under his wing, introduced classmates to seminal retro bands, and even starred in the school's production of South Pacific. But then his unbelievable secret was revealed. Filmmaker Jono McLeod returns to his old school for a nostalgic look at the strange but true story of his former classmate, Brandon Lee. Utilizing playful, period-specific animation, a pitch-perfect soundtrack, the memories of students and teachers, and the talents of Alan Cumming to bring the tale to life, My Old School offers more than one surprise along the way.   If you'd like to send us a voice memo for use in a future episode, please email [email protected].

Special episode hosted by Felicity Beckett to celebrate the release of The Duke, in cinemas now. Felicity is first joined by actor Jim Broadbent and then followed by the writers of the film, Richard Bean and Clive Coleman.  In 1961, Kempton Bunton, a 60-year old taxi driver, stole Goya’s portrait of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery in London. It was the first (and remains the only) theft in the Gallery’s history. Kempton sent ransom notes saying that he would return the painting on condition that the government invested more in care for the elderly - he had long campaigned for pensioners to receive free television. What happened next became the stuff of legend. Only 50 years later did the full story emerge - Kempton had spun a web of lies. The only truth was that he was a good man, determined to change the world and save his marriage - how and why he used the Duke to achieve that is a wonderfully uplifting tale.
