Screening as part of N.F.C. PUNK! New Farm Cinemas: Thu 16 Oct. We begin N.F.C. PUNK! with a film that is not quite New Wave, though heavily inspired by Punk, rebelling against genre and demanding to be seen and heard!. BREAKING GLASS blends every style of the era into a wholly original and unapologetic punk anthem of late 70s London. Breaking Glass is the story of punk singer Kate and her meteoric rise to stardom. Starting out in the rock pubs of London, Kate, assisted by her manager Danny, becomes a huge star overnight. Once at the top the pressure is immense as Kate's band are squeezed out and she is left to cope alone in the spotlight. Made by writer-director Brian Gibson (What's Love Got to Do with It), with producers Davina Belling and Clive Parsons (Scum and Gregory's Girl), on location in London, Breaking Glass is one of the few mainstream films set firmly in the then-nascent punk and new wave milieu. The film captures the excitement, innovation, passion and anger that courses through the music and its surrounding culture. O'Connor's original soundtrack, produced by longtime David Bowie collaborator Tony Visconti, spawned five singles and reached number five on the UK Albums Chart. Supporting O'Connor and Daniels are Jonathan Pryce (Brazil) as the band's junkie saxophonist, Mark Wingett (Quadrophenia) on guitar and Jon Finch (Hitchcock's Frenzy) as the powerful music producer who takes Kate to superstardom. Stephen Goldblatt's (Outland) scope cinematography grants the film an appropriately epic quality.

Oscar-nominated provocateur Yorgos Lanthimos (Poor Things, The Favourite) reunites with stars Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons for the bold and absurdist sci-fi dark comedy-thriller, BUGONIA.

What unfolds is a darkly twisted journey that blurs the lines between paranoia, power, and survival. Debuting to a lengthy standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival, the film has been hailed as a "masterclass in directorial control", boldly challenging audiences both emotionally and intellectually. Written by 'The Menu' co-writer Will Tracy, BUGONIA is an English-language reimagining of Jang Joon-hwan’s acclaimed 2003 Korean cult classic, 'Save the Green Planet!' - now reinterpreted through Lanthimos’ uniquely off-kilter vision.

Legendary animator Jiří Trnka’s fourth feature, Old Czech Legends explores ancient Bohemian mythology in a patriotic paean to the land and human perseverance. The film is an adaptation of Alois Jirásek's anthology, Legends of Old Bohemia, an edition of which Trnka himself illustrated. It is told through six vignettes of well-known Czechoslovak fables loosely sewn together, from a princess revolt (The Maidens’ War) to a man’s duel with a wild boar (The Tale of Bijov). Old Czech Legends stands as one of Trnka’s most visionary and technically complex works: an ambitious interpretation of familiar cultural history through the fantastical medium of puppet animation.

A profound picture of life, of memories, feelings, thoughts, relationships, and what it means to exist in a life guided by art.

Advance Screenings Wed 22 Oct. “Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere” chronicles the making of Bruce Springsteen’s 1982 “Nebraska” album. Recorded on a 4-track recorder in Springsteen’s New Jersey bedroom, the album marked a pivotal time in his life and is considered one of his most enduring works—a raw, haunted acoustic record populated by lost souls searching for a reason to believe. “‘Nebraska’ is where Bruce chose truth over expectation—a choice that still reverberates through everything he’s written since. At that crossroads, he could have chased the bright lights and the roar of arenas, but instead he turned inward, armed only with silence, a four-track recorder, and the courage to confront himself. For him to trust me with telling that story—the most vulnerable chapter of his life—is the greatest honour I’ve ever had as a filmmaker,” says Cooper. “This film takes a couple years out of my life and looks at them very closely, a time when I made ‘Nebraska’ and went through some personal difficulties,” says Springsteen. “I’m so appreciative of Jeremy Allen White and the entire cast for their wonderful and moving performances—and Scott Cooper, one of the most generous collaborators I’ve ever worked with.” Starring Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen, the film is directed by Scott Cooper from his adaptation of Warren Zanes’ book of the same name. “Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere” also features Jeremy Strong as Springsteen’s long-time confidant and manager, Jon Landau; Paul Walter Hauser as guitar tech Mike Batlan; Odessa Young as Faye; Stephen Graham as Springsteen’s father, Doug; Gaby Hoffman as Springsteen’s mother, Adele; and David Krumholtz as Columbia executive, Al Teller. The film is produced by Cooper, Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Eric Robinson and Scott Stuber. Tracey Landon, Jon F. Vein and Zanes executive produce. The film includes an original score by composer Jeremiah Fraites, cinematography by Masanobu Takayanagi, production design by Stefania Cella, costume design by Kasia Walicka-Maimone, and is edited by Pamela Martin. “Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere” will be in cinemas October 23.

Adapted from a Soviet Gulag survivor’s story, Sergei Loznitsa’s return to fiction is a Kafkaesque fable that echoes loudly amid contemporary political corruption. In 1937, fresh-faced lawyer Kornyev (Alexander Kuznetsov) receives a letter – written in blood – from a man alleging miscarriage of justice by the state secret police. The sender, Stepniak, has been imprisoned and severely beaten; he is near death’s door. Kornyev is a member of the party faithful, a true believer. He’s horrified by what Stepniak reveals, and decides to investigate, facing administrative hurdles along the way. Later, believing Joseph Stalin will want to know, he vows to take the case to Moscow. Anyone familiar with the history of the Soviet Union’s Great Purge already knows this story doesn’t end well. It’s not unfamiliar territory for Ukrainian director Sergei Loznitsa, either, having previously visited the era with his documentary The Trial. Two Prosecutors, his first fiction feature since Donbass, is based on a novella by dissident physicist Georgy Demidov, who was imprisoned in the Gulag for 14 years. Kuznetsov brilliantly conveys Kornyev’s perseverance against a system designed to intimidate and deter him from his course, while the film’s beautifully chilling and desaturated visual design underscores its oppressive atmosphere. Picking up the Prix François Chalais at Cannes, this bitingly topical, darkly absurdist legal drama is a terrifying vision of authoritarian abuse and malignant bureaucracy. “Five stars. Starkly austere and gripping … a very disturbing parable of the insidious micro-processes of tyranny.” – The Guardian

Set in a small town and focusing on its local church, Wake Up Dead Man is packed with stars, including Josh O’Connor as a the younger cleric to Josh Brolin’s autocratic, abrasive priest, Glenn Close as his right-hand person, plus Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Cailee Spaeny, Jeremy Renner (whose likeness had a memorable appearance in Glass Onion), and Mila Kunis as a local cop who is as determined as Blanc to solve this seemingly insoluble case. And there’s a murder that presents itself as an impossible crime. All that and Craig delivers perhaps his best Blanc yet.

Friends For Good Previews: Wed 19 November. Tickets at New Farm, Red Hill, Elizabeth & Graceville include a fabulous Wicked themed cocktail on arrival. Last year’s global cinematic cultural sensation, which became the most successful Broadway film adaptation of all time, now reaches its epic, electrifying, emotional conclusion in Wicked: For Good. Directed once again by award-winning director Jon M. Chu and starring the spectacular returning cast, led by Academy Award® nominated superstars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, the final chapter of the untold story of the witches of Oz begins with Elphaba and Glinda estranged and living with the consequences of their choices. Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), now demonized as The Wicked Witch of the West, lives in exile, hidden within the Ozian forest while continuing her fight for the freedom of Oz’s silenced Animals and desperately trying to expose the truth she knows about The Wizard (Jeff Goldblum). Glinda, meanwhile, has become the glamorous symbol of Goodness for all of Oz, living at the palace in Emerald City and reveling in the perks of fame and popularity. Under the instruction of Madame Morrible (Oscar® winner Michelle Yeoh), Glinda is deployed to serve as an effervescent comfort to Oz, reassuring the masses that all is well under the rule of The Wizard. As Glinda’s stardom expands and she prepares to marry Prince Fiyero (Olivier award winner and Emmy and SAG nominee Jonathan Bailey) in a spectacular Ozian wedding, she is haunted by her separation from Elphaba. She attempts to broker a conciliation between Elphaba and The Wizard, but those efforts will fail, driving Elphaba and Glinda only further apart. The aftershocks will transform Boq (Tony nominee Ethan Slater) and Fiyero forever, and threaten the safety of Elphaba’s sister, Nessarose (Marissa Bode), when a girl from Kansas comes crashing into all their lives. As an angry mob rises against the Wicked Witch, Glinda and Elphaba will need to come together one final time. With their singular friendship now the fulcrum of their futures, they will need to truly see each other, with honesty and empathy, if they are to change themselves, and all of Oz, for good. Wicked: For Good also stars Emmy nominee Bowen Yang and Bronwyn James as Glinda’s fawning assistants, Pfannee and ShenShen and BAFTA and Grammy nominee Sharon D. Clarke (Caroline, or Change) as the voice of Elphaba’s childhood nanny, Dulcibear. The film is produced by returning Tony and Emmy winning powerhouse Marc Platt p.g.a. and by multiple Tony winner David Stone. The executive producers are Stephen Schwartz, David Nicksay, Jared LeBoff, Winnie Holzman and Dana Fox. The first film, Wicked, released in November 2024, earned 10 Academy Award® nominations, including Best Picture, and won the Oscars® for Costume Design and Production Design. To date, the film has grossed $750 million worldwide. Wicked: For Good is based on the generation-defining musical stage play with music and lyrics by legendary Grammy and Oscar® winning composer and lyricist Stephen Schwartz and book by Winnie Holzman, from the bestselling novel by Gregory Maguire. The screenplay is by Winnie Holzman and Winnie Holzman & Dana Fox. The film score is by John Powell & Stephen Schwartz, with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz.
