Andrea Arnold  \n2024 – 118 mins – UK\, US\, France and Germany – Language: English \n  \nFrom Academy Award-winner Andrea Arnold (American Honey\, Fish Tank)\, BIRD is a tender\, striking and extraordinarily surprising coming-of-age fable about marginalised life in the fringes of contemporary society. 12-year-old Bailey lives with her devoted but chaotic single dad Bug (Barry Keoghan\, Saltburn) and wayward brother Hunter in a squat in Gravesend\, north Kent. Approaching puberty and seeking attention and adventure\, Bailey’s fractured home life is transformed when she encounters Bird\, a mysterious stranger on a journey of his own. A wondrous portrait of the transition from childhood to adolescence that remains grounded in empathetic social realism. \n\n  \nAndrea Arnold’s tender contemporary fable…Newcomer Nykiya Adams triumphs in this otherworldly kitchen sink story of a young girl who forms a bond with a peculiar stranger. \n-BFI \n  \nThis latest film from renowned English filmmaker Andrea Arnold is a compelling\, ultimately joyous story that tackles themes of identity\, sexism\, loneliness\, and class struggle. The director’s empathy and skill at showing us beauty despite dire circumstances elevates Bird beyond its roots. Add to that a crystalline thread of magic realism and the result is an ode to the wondrous transition from childhood to adolescence. \n-TIFF \n  \n\n\n  \n\nWe have created a ticket system which allows attendees to pay according to their means and financial situation.

Kevin Cameron – re-edit with new material \n2024 – 1hr 34 mins – UK – Language: English \n  \nAlasdair Gray is one of the giants of Scottish Arts. He is the author of Lanark (hailed as the most influential Scottish novel of the second half of the 20th century)\, painter of one of Scotland’s biggest pieces of public art of the 21st century (the beautiful hand-painted ceiling of Oran Mor in Glasgow) and author of Poor Things\, now adapted into a film starring Emma Stone. In this intimate portrait\, filmed over the course of 15 years\, he has allowed himself to be filmed creating work that has become part of the living heritage of Scotland. \n\n  \nThe films of Kevin Cameron are a rare opportunity to view the artist not as the monumental figure of university tutorials or a name on the walls of famous buildings\, but as a living and working artist. Cameron’s film places Gray within the context of a world in which he is renowned\, but also explores the reality of his life in the city that provides his greatest inspiration. \n–The Skinny \n  \n\n\nWe have created a ticket system which allows attendees to pay according to their means and financial situation.

Gary Lennon and Ollie Alin \n2023 – 80 mins – Ireland\, UK – Language: English \n  \nI Dream in Photos (Best Original Score at the Camille Awards) explores the life and work of Pulitzer Prize winning photojournalist Cathal McNaughton\, who quit “the best job in the world” at the peak of his career aged just 40. Cathal is in deep reflection\, following his courageous work in the field of some of the world’s most harrowing trouble spots. His obsession with his art\, drove him away from his family and son. Now\, as he rebuilds personal relationships\, he is challenged by the demons of his past. \n\nMcNaughton is an amiable and thoughtful subject\, and his testimony even as he recounts experiences in conflict zones is clear-headed and stoical. The film\, appropriately\, is beautifully shot. Pretty vistas of hills and fields create a contemplative space in tandem with McNaughton’s own introspection. \n–The Irish Times \n  \nI Dream In Photos delivers not only a well observed documentary and wonderful homage to Cathal’s impressive career – but also a quiet insight into the conflicted human condition. \n–Film Ireland \n  \n\n\nShort film screening: Roll Down the Window (2024) \n10 mins\, Person\, Short\, Dir: Lipa Hussain. \nFilmmaker Lipa Hussain interrogates a neurological condition she has experienced since childhood and the parallels it represents with her own religious and racial struggles.

SUMMARY:Dark Soul (A Film for the Ears) - Thursday 11th July - The Bungalow
DESCRIPTION:Screening on Thursday 11th July at The Bungalow (Paisley) as part of our Spring Film Exhibition programme. \nJoin Refractive for a screening of award winning feature length concept film\, Dark Soul: A Film for the Ears\, directed by Zoe Hunter and written by Ros Borland\, at The Bungalow\, Paisley. Alongside the screening\, we are excited to present a post-screening Q&A with the director and writer\, Zoë Hunter and Ros Borland! The screening will take place on Thursday 11th July\, book a ticket for only £5 below. \nDoors open 7pm\,  film screening 7.15 pm. \nThis event is in partnership with RNIB Scotland. Guide dogs are welcome. If you have any questions about the accessibility of this screening\, please email or phone Muriel Ann Macleod\, Refractive Innovation Producer – murielann@refractive.scot or 07789117740. \n  \nFor more film information\, please see below. \n  \nCeltic Media Festival Torc Award winner for excellence\, supernatural thriller Dark Soul (A film for the Ears) in association with the Royal National Institute of Blind People Scotland\, is directed by Zoë Hunter and written by Ros Borland. This is a feature length concept film aimed at making cinema accessible on an equal platform for those who are blind or partially sighted. Dark Soul is not a conventional film – it is screenplay narrated (not audio descripted) and sighted people are invited to wear an eye mask in the cinema for the duration of the action (opening and end credits are laid to picture). We recently had a private test screening with an audience made up primarily of visually impaired people – and guide dogs! It worked brilliantly. The feedback from the visually impaired attendees made a powerful case to do more Films for the Ears Event Cinema screenings aka “Dark Screenings”\, in order for those who experience sight loss to enjoy the film collectively and be part of a cinema going community. Dark Soul is a real opportunity for cinemas and festivals to make a bold statement about making cinema more inclusive for specific marginalised groups – like the blind and visually impaired community. Dark Soul is the chance to do it first! \n  \n[Please note\, Refractive have classified this film as a 15. As such\, it is advised that people under 15 should not book a ticket to see this film.] \nFeature length concept film | Refractive classification 15 \nDIRECTOR: Zoë HunterWRITER: Ros BorlandCOUNTRY OF ORIGIN: United Kingdom  \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nSynopsis: Edinburgh\, Scotland. A man is shot in a restaurant cold room. Simultaneously\, a young woman\, Donna\, gives birth to a daughter\, Carey. Seven years later\, Donna’s house is burgled and Inspector Carlow attends. Carey starts to have bad dreams and so the nightmare begins.

She felt she had an obligation to the people and problems within her local environment\, and that documentary photography could highlight and challenge the social disadvantages that she herself had suffered. However\, despite early acclaim for her work\, she was unable to make a living from photography and died in poverty. \n

This traumatic event encourages an alcoholic\, PTSD-suffering vigilante called Sara to team up with a local social worker to track down the same criminals who have ties to her past. Sara must face her fears and learn to put her trust in people if she has any hope of finding the boy. Featuring Sasha MacPherson (Mortem) and Parmy Singh (River City). \n \nA Note from Gary Hewitt: \n‘The Defender’ started when I lost my mother at the early stages of the covid pandemic. I remembered her last words to me were “Be kind… Help others” This is the underlying message in the story\, but it also questions how far do you take that? This script was developed with the belief that something so personal to me is a clear universal message. While this film is dark with crime and abuse\, it’s about new beginnings\, change\, and how a family is more than blood. The Defender follows Sara Summers’ story\, whose aim to help others\, takes her down a dark path that makes Sara face her own haunted past. I wanted to examine how we deal with loss and abandonment. What will human beings do to relieve themselves of hurt? How will they find the power to break free of their own darkness and start again? \n  \nTHE DEFENDER was selected for:  \nthe EDINBURGH INTERNATION FILM FESTIVAL as part of CELTIC MEDIA SHOWCASE \nIt was one of 6 semi-finalists at this year’s FILM MARKET HUB  \nIt scored 7.5/10 on SCREENCRAFT and was a quarter finalist \nTHE DEFENDER has ranked in the TOP 30% of all 51\,735 projects on COVERFLY  \nIt scored 8/10 on FILM MARKET HUB REVIEW \nAwards: \nBest Indie Film\, Best Actress\, Best Cinematography: Milan Independent Awards \nBest Feature\, Best Producer & Best Cinematography: 8 & HalFilm Awards \nBest Feature Film & Best Actress: Sweden Film Awards \nBest Thriller: Robinson Film Awards (August 2023) \nBest Producer\, Best Director\, Best Feature: White Rose Film Fest  \n
