April Film Screenings At kinokulture cinema 9 Arthur Street, Oswestry, Shropshire, SY11 1JN   Champions (12A) Saturday 1st April  7:30pm Sunday 2nd April  2:00pm (subtitled for the Hard Of Hearing) Woody Harrelson stars in the hilarious and heartwarming story of a former minor-league basketball coach who, after a series of missteps is ordered by the court to manage a basketball team of teens with learning disabilities. He soon realizes that despite his doubts, together, this team can go further than they ever imagined. "What makes Champions a treat is the deftness with which Mark Rizzo's script sidesteps sentimentality in favour of something more raucously truthful..." ***  Mark Kermode Director: Bobby Farrelly Cast: Kaitlin Olson, Cheech Marin, Matt Cook, Woody Harrelson, Ernie Hudson US 2023 Run time: 2 hours 3 mins BOOK TICKETS FOR SATURDAY HERE BOOK TICKETS FOR SUNDAY HERE Bad Day At Black Rock (PG) Oswestry Film Society Screening Tuesday 4th April 7:30pm   A film high on suspense sees a one-armed stranger stepping off the train at the title-cited Black Rock, a tiny town possessing a terrible past that it desperately wants to keep secret. The great Spencer Tracy in the role of the stranger creates huge suspicion among the antagonistic and complicit locals. As Tracy digs deeper and the tension builds, the wrongs that have been done gradually become clear. Though essentially a crime-drama with the subtle feel of a modern-day western, this 1955 film was one of the first to recognise  discrimination against Japanese-Americans in the second world war that the U.S. would rather have swept under the carpet. Continuing our season of well-known names in lesser-known roles, Tracy leads a cast that includes other big-hitters like Robert Ryan, Ernest Borgnine and a young Lee Marvin.  Tracy's career spanned 40 years-plus at the top, often most notably for his acting partnerships with Katherine Hepburn. But his performance in Bad Day At Black Rock is a tour de force in a taut film that from start to finish doesn't waste a second of its run-time. Please note the film starts at 7:30pm there are no trailers at OFS screenings Run Time: 1 hour 21 mins FIND OUT MORE ABOUT OSWESTRY FILM SOCIETY & BOOK TICKETS HERE

Marcel The Shell With Shoes On (PG) Wednesday 5th April 1:30pm & Thursday 6th April 7:30pm Everyone loves Marcel When struggling filmmaker Dean (writer-director Dean Fleischer Camp) moves into an Airbnb, he quickly discovers that he is not alone. Marcel (Jenny Slate), an adorable one-inch-tall shell, already lives there with his grandmother Connie (Isabella Rossellini) and their pet lint, Alan. Once part of a sprawling community of shells, Marcel and Connie live alone as the sole survivors of a mysterious tragedy. Taken with his unlikely new friend, Dean starts filming Marcel and his grandmother, igniting a meteoric rise to internet fame that changes their lives forever. But will Marcel's newfound sense of possibility and a throng of superfans be enough to track down his long-lost family? Soulful, whimsical and intricately crafted, MARCEL THE SHELL WITH SHOES ON is the feature adaptation of Dean Fleischer Camp and Jenny Slate's popular series of short films and New York Times-bestselling books, and marks the big screen debut of the internet's most beloved mollusc. "A joyous juxtaposition of quotidian, vérité-style dialogue and fancifully inventive visuals that hits a tragicomic sweet spot."  Mark Kermode - Observer "Delicate, yet resonant." Little White Lies "The animation, by the New York-based Chiodo brothers, is both witty in its make-do-and-mend aesthetic (the sentient Shreddies are a hoot) and sometimes dazzlingly intuitive. You don't question the truth of it for a moment..."  Robbie Collin - Telegraph ? BOOK TICKETS HERE Cocaine Bear (15)  Wednesday 5th April  7:30pm Will you dare go into the woods today? Inspired by the 1985 true story of a drug runner's plane crash, missing cocaine, and the black bear that ate it, this wild tongue in cheek thriller finds an oddball group of cops, criminals, tourists and teens converging in a Georgia forest where a 500-pound apex predator has ingested a staggering amount of cocaine and gone on a coke-fueled rampage for more blow... and blood. "Elizabeth Banks's playfully anarchic creature-feature about a rampaging beast high on drugs is as daft as it is entertaining" *** Mark Kermode Director: Elizabeth Banks Cast: Ray Liotta, Margo Martindale, Keri Russell, Alden Ehrenreic Run time: 1 hour 31 mins BOOK TICKETS HERE What's Love Got To Do With It? (12A)  Friday 7th & Saturday 8th April 7:30pm Sunday 9th April  2:00pm (subtitled for the Hard Of Hearing)   A stellar cast head up this multicultural, very British rom-com from the producers of Bridget Jones's Diary and Love Actually. How do you find lasting love in today's world? For documentary filmmaker Zoe (Lily James), swiping right to find Mr Right has only delivered bad dates and funny anecdotes, much to her opinionated mother Cath's (Emma Thompson) dismay. For her childhood friend and neighbour Kazim (Shazad Latif), the answer is to follow his parents' example and opt for an assisted marriage with a bright and beautiful bride from Pakistan. As Zoe films his hopeful journey from London to Lahore to marry a stranger, chosen by his parents, she begins to wonder if she might have something to learn from a different approach to finding love. "What's Love Got to Do With It? shines best as a crowd-pleasing comedy, and a sign that British romcoms aren't dead: they were only sleeping." **** The Independent "What's Love Got to Do With It? should ... transport you happily back to the world Working Title fashioned from English cloth in the 1990s with Four Nottings and a Bridget." *** Irish Times Director: Shekhar Kapur Cast: Lily James, Shazad Latif, Asim Chaudhry, Sajal Ali, Shabana Azmi, Emma Thompson UK 2022 Run time: 1 hour 49 mins BOOK TICKETS FOR FRIDAY & SATURDAY HERE BOOK TICKETS FOR SUNDAY HERE     Epic Tails (U)  Tuesday 11th, Wednesday 12th & Thursday 13th April  1:30pm EPIC TAILS tells the story of super smart mouse Pattie and her feline friend Sam, as they embark upon an exciting adventure of paw-some proportions through Ancient Greece.

Frank is in his thirties but still lives with his mother after losing his job at the railway station when it was closed down. The town of Karmack has no jobs to offer, nor a future prospect for its residents. With its decreasing population and bad economy, Karmack is governed by the Sheriff, the Doctor and the Pastor – the so-called Commission – who run the town as best as they can. But with strange deaths starting to occur, the Commission sees no other option than to employ a Middle Man to convey painful messages to bereaved relatives. Frank is employed as Karmack's first official Middle Man. The disillusioned inhabitants of Karmack struggle to maintain dignity, as little by little the town's characters come to expose their previously hidden lives. Director: Bent Hamer Cast: Pål Sverre Hagen, Don McKellar, Kenneth Welsh, Nina Andresen Borud Country: Norway/Canada/Germany 2023 Run time:1 hour 35 minutes BOOK TICKETS HERE ALLELUJAH (12A) Friday 14th March & Saturday 15th April 7:30pm Sunday 16th April. 2:00pm (subtitled for the Hard Of Hearing) After our sell out screening at Borderlines Film Festival in March this timely film returns to our screen. Adapted by Call the Midwife's Heidi Thomas from Alan Bennett's 2018 play of the same name, Richard Eyre's Allelujah is a warm and spirited story of old age and UK community activism. A stellar cast including Jennifer Saunders, David Bradley, Derek Jacobi and Judi Dench make up some of the very idiosyncratic residents of a small Yorkshire hospital ('the Beth'), specialising in geriatric care. When the hospital is threatened with closure, its supporters decide to fight back, galvanising the local community and inviting a news crew to film their preparations for a concert in honour of its most distinguished nurse (the stern but kind Sister Gilpin). What could possibly go wrong? Director: Richard Eyre Starring: Jennifer Saunders, Bally Gill, David Bradley, Judi Dench, Derek Jacobi, Russell Tovey UK, 2022 Run time: 1 hour 39 mins BOOK TICKETS FOR FRIDAY & SATURDAY HERE BOOK TICKETS FOR SUNDAY HERE She Said (15) Oswestry Film Society Screening Tuesday 18th April 7:30pm   Film mogul Harvey Weinstein's fall from grace has been total, from all-powerful movie producer and sexual predator to spending the rest of his life behind bars. This is the story of how the New York Times unearthed more than a dozen women - previously ignored or simply swept aside - who had agreed to accuse Weinstein of sexually harassing or assaulting them. Many other women in the film industry subsequently reported similar experiences with Weinstein over many years.  SHE SAID is a potent but sensitive drama following two NYT female reporters who doggedly cut through the defences of the apparently untouchable producer. This shocking story also serves as a launching pad for the #MeToo movement, shattering decades of silence around the subject of sexual assault. There'd been whispers and allegations about what Weinsten had been up to from the 1970s, but money, power and others turning blind eyes meant he went untouched. Excellent performances from the cast bring out the best in this "David and Goliath story that reverberated around the world" (Evening Standard). It's a film that's a testament to the power of proper investigative journalism, and to the courage of women who suffered at Weinstein's hands and came forward at personal risk — to their careers, reputations and well-being. Please note the film starts at 7:30pm there are no trailers at OFS screenings Run Time: 2 hours 9 mins FIND OUT MORE ABOUT OSWESTRY FILM SOCIETY & BOOK TICKETS HERE Never Forget Tibet (PG) Wednesday 19th April  7:30pm Returning to the Tibetan borderlands for the first time since 1959, the Dalai Lama recounts his escape across the Himalayas in this documentary Inspired by the book 'An Officer and His Holiness' by Rani Singh. Winner of the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize, the Dalai Lama has over 19 million Twitter followers. In addition to his international popularity, for Tibetans, the Dalai Lama has always been the "Most Precious One." His undisputed, divine status as Tibet's former religious and temporal ruler dates back along 13 Dalai Lamas and several centuries. It was a peaceful kingdom until the invasion by Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) in 1950. China invaded because it wanted complete control of autonomous Tibet to strengthen its western flank, among other reasons to do with minerals and water. The Chinese had grown frustrated with the power and influence held by the 14th Dalai Lama, so they used various tactics to try to isolate and destroy him. They decided he was standing in the way of their territorial ambition so they decided to try to terminate his lineage. The destruction of a culture, language, people began here and continues to this day. For over 60 years the Dalai Lama has campaigned for peace and nonviolent political change. He is most consistent in his message of love and compassion. This film reflects the Dalai Lama's message. China has forced its rule upon Tibet constant fear, millions of Tibetans have been killed, imprisoned, or tortured. By the late fifties PLA soldiers had flooded Tibetan strongholds. A fearsome network of spies and informers helped its masters create a vice-like grip on the Tibetan leadership. Finally, the Chinese military advanced and encircled the Dalai Lama's hilltop summer palace. PLA guns, cannons, tanks and heavy artillery were aimed directly at his living quarters. By March 1959, Tibetans were so terrified for the life of their leader that they mounted a rebellion against the Chinese overlords, surrounding the Dalai Lama's palace and placing themselves between him and the PLA soldiers. The Dalai Lama was in danger; even his trusted wise oracles told him so. He escaped in the dead of night with his closest advisors, tutors and some family members. Told for the first time on film in the Dalai Lama's own words with the Indian political officer who lead him to safety.

Aronofsky (Black Swan, The Wrestler) directs Brendan Fraser's comeback as a writing professor trying to reconnect with his teenage daughter.

His only contact with the outside world is his spiky friend Liz… until two characters arrive on his doorstep: a strange young Christian evangelist, and Charlie's rage-fuelled daughter Ellie (Stranger Things' Sadie Sink) whom he abandoned when he fell in love with a man and left his wife. "Fraser is a better actor — slyer, subtler, more haunting — than he has ever been." Owen Gleiberman, Variety" "...Aronofsky's adaptation of the stage work by Samuel D. Hunter (who wrote the screenplay) [is] an empathetic, haunting, beautiful, heartbreakingly moving story of a broken man in the throes of addiction who has a huge heart..."

Tokyo, a few days after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. Kyoko suddenly leaves her husband after spending five days in a row glued to unfolding earthquake footage on TV. Her helpless husband Komura takes a week's leave from work and heads north to deliver a box and its unknown contents to two young women.

Through memories, dreams and fantasies, Kyoko, Komura and Katagiri, influenced by their visions of earthquakes—which are manifested as evil willow trees, giant earthworms, secret vows, mysterious boxes and a dark, endless corridor—attempt to rediscover their true selves. 2022 Annecy International Animation Festival Winner: Jury Distinction Feature Film "Elegantly surreal" - Screen   "Bewitching" - Cineuropa "An impressive achievement, a piece of storytelling which balances moments of flighty whimsy against deeper existential questions"  Screen Daily Gorgeously drawn. . .

Women in the closed community are experiencing bruising and battering when they wake from sleep. Some are pregnant. The elders claim it is God's punishment for their sins. But a sighting by one of their number reveals the truth: the assaults come from their own menfolk. In a sunlit barn, a delegation of women exchanges views: do nothing, stay and strive to change the status quo, or do they leave? Dressed plainly and alike, each woman – played by a hugely gifted cast – delivers a different, sharply articulate and impassioned argument.

EXPLORE & BOOK WOW ONLINE HERE Journeyman - the Art of Steve Dilworth  A book by Georgina Coburn For those of you who came along to our premiere screening of Stuff The World Is Made Of the beautiful documentary about Harris based sculptor/maker Steve Dilworth we have some exciting news to share. After 5 years of research, Georgina Coburn's book Journeyman – The Life and Art of Steve Dilworth is ready for publication. The plan is to release the book in time for Dilworth's autumn exhibition at the Pangolin Gallery in London.  "When I began my research in 2014, I wanted to answer the question of what makes a Dilworth? His work is powerful and its effect on many people, lasting and profound. In Dilworth's objects, as so often in life, what is most valuable is hidden inside. His art holds nature close, in ways our global consumer culture has too long discarded. I think what Dilworth's art connects us to has increasing urgency. The intention behind it and the way that his work is integrated into peoples' lives is unlike anything else in contemporary art. Dilworth's work is a living example of why art matters and acknowledgement of his importance in the history of Art is long overdue. My intention is to shine a light on his uncompromising, visionary work, opening up a wider conversation about the value of art outside the art world." Georgina Coburn. The book can be pre ordered for £35.00 (including P&P).
