Peterborough Arts Cinema launches its Autumn season
The long-running Peterborough Arts Cinema returns with a short Autumn season of films next month.
The group will be using the cinema at the Wildwood restaurant in Cathedral Square for the four-film programme (all 7pm), starting on October 1st
The new programme looks like this:
Rose of Nevada –1st October
Lost at sea 30 years ago, when the trawler Rose of Nevada mysteriously reappears in the harbour of a rundown Cornish village desperate local Nick (MacKay) and drifter Liam (Turner) enlist for a new fishing expedition. But aboard the ghostly vessel on the dark waters, uncanny realities, obscured identities and time itself start to entangle. Shot on 16mm in Mark Jenkins’ (Bait, Enys Men) singular cinematic style, this is a rough-hewn otherworldly odyssey that breathes the coarse textures and ferocious elements of Cornwall and the sea.
Primavera – 22nd October
Set in 18th-century Venice at the Ospedale della Pietà orphanage, the film follows talented young violinist Cecilia (Tecla Insolia) as she meets her new music instructor, Antonio Vivaldi (Michele Riondino), and finds the courage to break free from her predetermined fate through his mentorship and music.
De la Comédie-Française – 12th November
At the oldest active theatre company in the world there is one golden rule: the play is NEVER cancelled. Unfortunately for producer Nina (Pauline Clément), everything is unravelling just three hours before the premiere of her first production – an ambitious retelling of Shakespeare’s Macbeth. Her lead actor is stuck on a train, tensions are exploding, passions flaring, equipment breaking down and egos are clashing. With panic setting in and the clock ticking Nina must hold things together at all costs. Will the show go on?
Ish – 17th December
Set and filmed in Luton, Ish follows 12-year-old best friends Ish (Farhan Hasnat) and Maram (Yahya Kitana), who wrestle to hold onto their friendship in the wake of a police stop and search. As the ripples take hold, the boys try to make sense of the men they are becoming – and how letting go can be the hardest part of growing up. Written and directed by acclaimed artist Imran Perretta and co-written by Enda Walsh (Hunger), Ish was shot by cinematographer Jermaine Canute Edwards (My Father’s Shadow) and also stars singer/songwriter Joy Crookes.
