1945

Screens at 15:00 FH1

Ferenc Török • Hungary 2017 • Hungarian; Russian with English Subtitles • 91m • Digital • 12A • Contains infrequent strong language, moderate sex

When two black clad men arrive at a country railway station, a classic western set up appears to be unfolding. But it’s 1945 in Soviet-occupied Hungary in the immediate aftermath of World War II, and by their appearance the men are Orthodox Jews. As the two men make their way to town and word of their arrival spreads, there’s a growing panic amongst some of the more prominent townsfolk - especially town clerk, István, whose son’s wedding is later that day…With its monochrome splendour and striking soundtrack, morally compromised townspeople and its tick-tock narrative, 1945 recalls nothing more than Fred Zinnemann’s taut and masterful High Noon.

My Name Is Salt

Screens at 18:05 FH1

Farida Pacha • Switzerland 2013 • Gujarati with English Subtitles • 92m • Digital • U • Some infrequent and very mild bad language

A strikingly beautiful portrayal of an extraordinary world, Farida Pacha's mesmerising documentary transforms back-breaking labor into something transcendent. Every year, just after the monsoon season has finished, thousands of families travel to a bleak desert in Gujarat, India, where they will stay for the next eight months and extract salt from the earth, using the same painstaking, manual techniques as generations before them. Director Farida Pacha and cinematographer Lutz Konermann spent a season with one of these families, observing the very particular rhythms of their lives and crafting an exquisite, lyrical film in the process.

Marlina the Murderer in 4 Acts

Screens at 20:25 FH1

Mouly Surya • Indonesia, France, Malaysia, Thailand 2017 • Indonesian with English Subtitles • 93m • Digital • 15 • Contains sexual violence, strong violence, injury detail

Provocative and darkly comic, Mouly Surya’s third feature is a deftly crafted and wholly uncompromising feminist Western. In the windswept uplands of the Indonesian island of Sumba stands a remote and rustic homestead. The widow Marlina lives there with the embalmed corpse of her as-yet-unburied husband. When a local gang leader visits and announces that his crew will arrive that night to steal Marlina’s livestock, and gang rape her “if they have time”, Marlina must take drastic action to protect her self and safeguard her livelihood. The next morning, she packs up a severed head and sets out for town to face the consequences of her sternly efficient act of self-preservation…
