June Film Screenings & Events  kinokulture cinema, 9 Arthur street, Oswestry, SY11 1JN Red Joan (12A) Saturday 8th June  7:30pm Monday 10th June  7:30pm Thursday 13th June  7:30pm Tickets: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/kinokulture/e-elygzv ú8.00 Adult ú7.00 16-30's/Students/Jobseekers ú5.00 Under 16's Book Online: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/kinokulture/e-elygzv Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 The new thriller from renowned British theatre director Trevor Nunn, Red Joan casts Judi Dench in a rewardingly complex role as a retired physicist who late in life is revealed to be a long-serving spy for the former Russian KGB. Adapted by Lindsay Shapiro from the bestselling novel by Jennie Rooney and inspired by the life of British KGB agent Melita Norwood (known as the ægranny spyÆ when she was unmasked in the late 90s) , the film follows Joan Stanley, a seemingly unremarkable and inconspicuous retiree who, in 2000, is living in a London suburb when she is arrested and charged with providing intelligence to Russia during the Cold War. Flashing back to 1938, we revisit JoanÆs younger self (played by Sophie Cookson) as, studying physics at Cambridge, she falls for young socialist firebrand Leo (Tom Hughes) and becomes more and more politicised before making the eventual, difficult decision to work with the Soviets and betray British atomic secrets. A well-crafted historical thriller that seamlessly transports the viewer into the past and feels especially topical in this time of new threats from Russia to the UK and the West, Red Joan explores both the intimate strangeness of espionage at large and its fascinating effects on an individual life, bolstered by excellent performances from both Dench and Cookson. Director: Trevor Nunn Cast: Judi Dench, Sophie Cookson, Stephen Campbell Moore, Tom Hughes Run time: i10 mins  ROH Live: Romeo & Juliet (12A) Tuesday 11th June  7:15pm Tickets: ú15.00 Adult/ú10.00 Under 16's Book online: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/kinokulture/t-ymzqvr Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 LIVE Ballet From the Royal Opera House Covent Garden ShakespeareÆs enduring love story is known the world over. Since its 1965 premiere with The Royal Ballet, Kenneth MacMillanÆs Romeo and Juliet has become a modern ballet classic. The choreography captures the emotions of the young couple as they fall in love, despite the barriers that finally bring about the storyÆs tragic end. Each revival gives opportunities for new dancers to interpret the doomed lovers. The whole company brings the colour and action of Renaissance Verona, where a busy market all too quickly bursts into sword fighting, and a family feud leads to tragedy for both the Montagues and Capulets. Choreography: Kenneth MacMillan Music: Sergei Prokofiev Cast: Yasmine Naghdi (Juliet), Matthew Ball (Romeo) Run time: 3 hours 10 mins (including two intervals) Out Of Blue (15) Wednesday 12th June  7:30pm Thursday 13th June  7:30pm Tickets: ú8.00 Adult ú7.00 16-30's/Students/Jobseekers ú5.00 Under 16's Book online: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/kinokulture/e-lvqkpr Or call the box Office: 01691 238167 Screening as part of our BEACON Season celebrating British & World Cinema Patricia Clarkson stars as a New Orleans detective trying to solve a murder mystery in director Carol Morley's unmissable adaptation of Martin Amis' novel Night Train. When homicide detective Mike Hoolihan (Clarkson) is called to investigate the murder of a leading astrophysicist and black hole expert, she is confronted by a mystery that begins to affect her in ways she has never expected. As the investigation deepens, a darker world is slowly revealed and she must use all her skills and experience to piece together fragments of a wider conspiracy that lies behind the murder - and a mystery behind the universe itself. A cosmic neo-noir like no other, this is a super intelligent, super stylish (and pretty offbeat) exploration of existence - and human nature itself. Enjoy! "Like all of MorleyÆs films, Out of Blue has some ragged edges that may alienate unsympathetic viewers. But having now seen the film three times, I find myself loving it all the more for its imperfections. When a film-maker aims this high, how can one do anything but watch in wonder?" ***** Mark Kermode Director: Carol Morley Cast: Mamie Gummer, Patricia Clarkson, Jacki Weaver Run time: 110 mins Holy Lands (15) Friday 14th June  7:30pm Saturday 15th june  7:30pm Monday 17th June  7:30pm Tickets: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/kinokulture/e-alejal ú8.00 Adults ú7.00 16-30's/Students/Jobseekers ú5.00 Under 16's Book online: Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 A splendid family drama written and directed by the acclaimed novelist and playwright Amanda Sthers with an all star cast and set mainly in Israel.

Van Gogh & Japan "I envy the Japanese" Van Gogh wrote to his brother Theo. In the exhibition on which this film is based - Van Gogh & Japan at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam - one can see why. Though Vincent van Gogh never visited Japan it is the country that had the most profound influence on him and his art. One cannot understand Van Gogh without understanding how Japanese art arrived in Paris in the middle of the 19th century and the profound impact it had on artists like Monet, Degas and, above all, Van Gogh. Visiting the new galleries of Japanese art in Paris and then creating his own image of Japan - through in-depth research, print collecting and detailed discussions with other artists - Van GoghÆs encounter with Japanese artworks gave his work a new and exciting direction. After leaving Paris for the south of France - to what he thought of as near to a kind of Japan as he could find - the productive and yet troubled years that followed must all be seen in the context of Van Gogh bending Japanese influences to his will and defining himself as a modern artist with clear Asian precursors. In this little known story of Van GoghÆs art we see just how important his study of Japan was. The film travels not only to France and the Netherlands but also to Japan to further explore the remarkable heritage that so affected Van Gogh and made him the artist we know of today. Director: David Bickerstaff Run time: 85 mins Five Seasons: The Gardens Of Piet Oudolph (PG) Thursday 20th June  1:30pm & 7:30pm Tickets: ú8.00 Adult ú7.00 16-30's/Students/Jobseekers ú5.00 Under 16's Book online: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/kinokulture/e-alexkx Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 After visiting Piet Oudolph's beautiful garden at The Hauser & Wirth Museum in Somerset we just had to screen this film as part of our 'Beacon Season'. After completing a feature documentary on New YorkÆs High Line, award-winning filmmaker Thomas Piper met the inspirational designer and plantsman, Piet Oudolf, and the idea for a new project was born. The documentary, Five Seasons: The Gardens of Piet Oudolf, immerses viewers in OudolfÆs work and takes us inside his creative process, from his beautifully abstract sketches, to theories on beauty, to the ecological implications of his ideas. Intimate discussions take place through all fours seasons in PietÆs own gardens at Hummelo, and on visits to his signature public works in New York, Chicago, and the Netherlands, as well as to the far-flung locations that inspire his genius, including desert wildflowers in West Texas and post-industrial forests in Pennsylvania. As a narrative thread, the film also follows Oudolf as he designs and installs a major new garden at Hauser & Wirth Somerset, a gallery and arts centre in Southwest England, a garden he considers his best work yet. Piet Oudolf has radically redefined what gardens can be. As Rick Darke, the famous botanist, says to Piet in the film, ôyour work teaches us to see what what we have been unable to see.ö Through poetic cinematography and unique access, Five Seasons will reveal all that Piet sees, and celebrate all that we as viewers have been unable to see. "An enchanting tour led by the world's most famous garden designer and avid plant lover." ***** Spirituality & Practice ""Five Seasons" reveals gardens you'd look forward to getting lost in, gardens that brilliantly use the interplay of form and color to do wonderful things to your soul." Director: Thomas Piper Release date: 16.06.2019 - Dartmouth Films Run time: 1 hour 15 mins   Tolkien (12A) Friday 21st June  7:30pm Saturday 22nd June  7:30pm Monday 24th June  7:30pm Tickets: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/kinokulture/e-jakqgq ú8.00 Adult ú7.00 16-30's/Students/Jobseekers ú5.00 Under 16's Book online: Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 TOLKIEN explores the formative years of the orphaned author as he finds friendship, love and artistic inspiration among a fellow group of outcasts at school. This takes him into the outbreak of World War I, which threatens to tear the 'fellowship' apart. All of these experiences would inspire Tolkien to write his famous Middle-Earth novels. Director: Dome Karukoski Cast: Nicholas Hoult, Lily Collins, Colm Meaney, Anthony Boyle, Patrick Gibson, Tom Glynn-Carney, Craig Roberts, Laura Donnelly, Genevieve OÆReilly, Pam Ferris and Derek Jacobi Run time: 112 mins The Yukon Assignment (PG) Tuesday 25th June  7:30pm Tickets: ú8.00 Adult ú7.00 16-30's/Students/Jobseekers ú5.00 Under 16's Book online: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/kinokulture/t-aonnea Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 British adventurer Chris Lucas and his actor father Niall, depend on each other for survival, as they canoe down one of the most remote rivers in Canada. The Yukon Assignment is a breathtaking exploration of one of the EarthÆs last wildernesses and the story of how adventure can bring us together, irrespective of age. Gentle in nature, this is a story of authentic adventure and relationship between son and father. The passing of time and changing relationships we have with our parents and children is fundamental to the human experience. So often in modern life, we make no time to simply experience this, plans are put off, excuses are made, opportunities passed. This film is the antithesis of this lament, inspiring audiences to take action, to seize the opportunity to make time for the important relationships in their life, to embrace the unknown, and to strike out on their own adventures. "The film leaves the audience wanting to call their loved ones, dream big, and dare to believe." "The feature-length documentary is a gentle, unpretentious love-letter to untamed nature and its ability to bring two people together." *** The Arts Desk The film is suitable for families and specifically made to inspire curious adventurers of all ages! Director: Chris Lucas Starring Chris Lucas, Niall Lucas Run time: 86 mins Distributed in the UK by Jonny Tull Film Distributor working with Tourism Yukon for this tour, bringing the beauty of the Yukon and spirit of adventure to a cinema near you! Donbass (15) Wednesday 26th June  7:30pm Tickets: ú8.00 Adult ú7.00 16-30's/Students/Jobseekers Book online: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/kinokulture/t-dxzzqd Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 Donbass, from director Sergei Loznitsa (A Gentle Creature), winner of the Cannes æUn Certain RegardÆ Prize for Best Director at the 2018 festival is screening as part of our 'Beacon' World Cinema Season. In the Donbass, a region of Eastern Ukraine, a hybrid war takes place, involving an open armed conflict alongside killings and robberies on a mass scale perpetrated by separatist gangs. In the Donbass, war is called peace, propaganda is uttered as truth and hatred is declared to be love. A journey through the Donbass unfolds as a chain of curious adventures, where the grotesque and drama are as intertwined as life and death. This is not a tale of one region, one country or one political system. It is about a world, lost in post-truth and fake identities. It is about each and every one of us. Constructed from 13 episodes, LoznitsaÆs engrossing drama Donbass provides a unique take on one of the most disturbing and threatening of contemporary conflicts. After watching amateur videos posted on the internet, Loznitsa constructed his own screenplay, referencing the format of TV reports and the frequent construction of fake news. Donbass is enthusiastically acted, sometimes deliberately theatrical and something of a grotesque tour de force. ItÆs all brilliantly, if harrowingly, imagined with stunning imagery courtesy of expert cinematographer Oleg Mutu. Director: Sergey Loznitsa Germany/Ukraine 2018 Run time: 110 mins English subtitles NT Live: A Small Island (15) Thursday 27th June  7:00pm Tickets: ú12.00 Adult/ú10.00 Under 16's Book online: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/kinokulture/t-aonqna Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 National Theatre Live SMALL ISLAND BASED ON THE NOVEL BY ANDREA LEVY ADAPTED BY HELEN EDMUNDSON Andrea Levy's Orange Prize-winning novel SMALL ISLAND comes to life in an epic new theatre adaptation.
