Our new season will start on 13th September and we are very pleased to announce that we have found more films available than we thought, so we now expect to manage something like our normal season of unseen, new films. We are hoping that further films will be released as the months pass, so we do not intend to book up the whole season as we normally do, but will roll forward, booking three or four weeks in advance.
We have three great films booked for September:
The Perfect Candidate (Sun 13th) from the director of 'Wadja' follows Maryam as she tries her hardest to be accepted as a female doctor in Saudi.
Make Up (Sun 20th) is writer-director Claire Oakley's first feature film, for which she has got all-round good reviews: "She has taken the template of arthouse Brit realism and audaciously spiked it with some genre thrills, as if Ken Loach collaborated with Brian De Palma or Nicolas Roeg" - Peter Bradshaw, Guardian.
The County (Sun 27th) sees Inga, a dairy farmer fighting to survive in a farm drowning in debt to the local co-op. When her husband dies, she becomes aware that the co-op, far from supporting the local farmers, acts more like the Mafia.
You can find more details on all these films here on our new website along with links to book tickets which will be required as part of the Alhambra's safety guidelines.
